Hardwood Flooring Repair Process
After a comprehensive inspection of the damaged areas, we are able to develop a floor repair strategy specific to the issue at hand. Sometimes certain portions of the flooring need to be replaced. If this is the case, our team makes sure to gather the precise flooring materials to match the undamaged sections. And if your flooring has a custom finish, we will color match the stain. This ensures that you will not people able to tell the difference between the original flooring and the floorboards which have been replaced. When installing the replacement flooring, we bond the new flooring to the old, creating a seamless, smooth surface.

E_M Custom Flooring & Installations has built long-standing partnerships with some of the most trusted brands in the flooring industry.

Spot Fixing
At E_M Custom Flooring & Installations, if there is a way for us to save you money on your flooring repair, we find it. And depending on the type of damage, replacing the damaged floorboards is not always a necessity. Spot fixing, also known as spot-treating, is an effective method that basically works to “erase” the damaged areas, regaining the original quality and look of your hardwood flooring. The spot fixing process begins by applying specialty flooring solutions to the damaged area. The surface is then smoothed over as the stains or marks progressively fade away until completely removed. If needed, we can retreat the damaged floorboards to achieve the perfect blend between the spot fixed wood and the areas around it.
Note: While our team will spot fix hardwood flooring whenever possible, spot fixing is only effective in specific damage scenarios. The experts at E_M Custom Flooring & Installations will carefully evaluate your damaged flooring and provide you with all viable repair options prior to beginning the repair.
