Boards Matched to Yours
Red oak strip in standard widths fills most Ayer Victorians and ranches, so the truck carries it and the stain is built up in layers until the new boards disappear.

/ Floor Repair IN AYER
Wood Floor Repair Options
Main Street Victorians, Sandy Pond ranches and the newer colonials at Devens hold a lot of red oak that is worth keeping. Our Ayer hardwood repair crew cuts out the failed strips and leaves the sound ones in place.
Board Replacement
A strip split under a moved piano or snapped at a doorway is pulled by itself. A matching length of oak is cut, fitted and nailed into the gap.

/ LOCAL REPAIR CREW
Ayer Hardwood Floor Repair
Victorians on Main Street, ranches around Sandy Pond and Long Pond, colonials at Devens and houses near Camp Stevens all bring us the same damage: water, pets and foot traffic. The ruined strips are cut out, fresh oak is woven in and the finish is blended.
/ WHAT WE FIX MOST
Hardwood Floor Repair Services
Old oak is worth the repair. Swap the strips that split, swelled or stained, build the color back in and the room looks whole again.
Cracked Board Replacement
The strip a piano cracked in an Ayer Victorian comes out alone and a new length of oak takes its place.
Water Damaged Floors
A floor soaked by runoff from Nonacoicus Brook is dried and metered, and only the boards that stay cupped are swapped.
Pet Stain Removal
Dog stains in a Sandy Pond bedroom are cut out, the subfloor sealed and new oak stained to the room.
Squeaky Floor Repair
A Devens colonial hallway stops squeaking once screws are driven into the joists from above.
Gap Filling
A Main Street Victorian with gaps along the baseboard heat gets a tinted filler in the oak color.
Scratch and Gouge Repair
Scratches across a Long Pond cottage floor are sanded with the grain and recoated.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow is a hardwood repair priced in Ayer?
Board repairs begin at $150 and the final number depends on how many strips failed and what caused it. The free visit ends with a firm written quote.
Can a floor be saved after the spring thaw?
Usually. We dry the room, track the meter over several days and replace only the boards that stay cupped once the wood has dried.
The sump pump quit in a storm. Is the floor above ruined?
Rarely all of it. The moisture is read from the basement side and from the room, everything is dried, and just the strips that stay damaged come out.
Do you stock red oak for Victorians and ranches?
Yes. Nearly every older house in Ayer has red oak strip, so it rides on the truck and the stain is layered until the patch blends.
How do you quiet a squeaky hallway?
Small screws go through the boards into the joists, and the holes are filled with putty tinted to the floor so they vanish.
Why are there gaps near the baseboard heat and can they be filled?
Heat dries the boards closest to the register. A tinted filler that flexes with the seasons closes the seams.
How soon can a repair be done?
Normally the same week, and a small patch goes in, gets sanded and is sealed in one trip.
Is the repair under warranty?
Yes, one year on the labor. The installers are NWFA trained employees of Brazil Floors, licensed and insured.
