Boards Matched to Yours
Red oak strip and wide pine cover most Becket floors. We keep both in stock and build the color up in layers until the replacement piece reads as original.

The estimate is free. We meter the boards, look at the subfloor from the basement where we can and show you precisely which pieces need to come out.
Hall floors that creak and gaps opening beside the woodstove are the usual calls up here. We drive screws down into the joists and fill the open seams with putty tinted to the wood.
Our labor on any repair is guaranteed for twelve months, and the person doing it is a licensed, insured employee trained to NWFA standards.



Board repair in Becket begins at $150, and the final figure depends on the count of boards and the cause of the damage. We inspect at no charge and the quote is in writing before the first board moves.
Usually. The floor is dried, metered daily for several days and then only the boards that stay cupped are swapped out.
Not always. We check from below and from the room, dry everything and replace just the strips that stay damaged.
Yes. Wide pine is common in the older Becket camps, so we source boards in the matching width and age the color to sit with the old patina.
We drive small trim screws down through the boards into the joists, then fill each hole with putty colored to the floor so the fix disappears.
Yes. Dry heat shrinks those boards, so the seams get a tinted filler that holds through the seasons.
Typically inside a week, and a small patch is normally finished, from cutting to the last coat, in one drive up from Natick.
Any board we set is guaranteed for one year. Should the patch telegraph or the color shift as the finish cures, we come back to Becket and correct it, and the technician is a licensed, insured member of our own staff.
