Most Derby houses have red oak strip in standard widths, so we carry it on the truck and layer the stain until the new boards vanish into the old.

Book a free estimate. We meter the floor, inspect the subfloor from below and point out exactly which boards have to go.
Squeaky halls and gaps near the radiators are typical in these older frames. We sink screws down through the boards into the joists and pack the open seams with filler tinted to the Derby oak.
A Derby repair is backed by a one year labor warranty, and the people doing it are licensed, insured and NWFA trained.



Board repair in Derby begins at $150 and the quote moves with how many strips failed and what caused it. We look first at no charge, then the number goes in writing.
Yes. We dry the floor, follow the moisture readings for several days and replace only boards that stay cupped.

Small screws go in from above into the joists, and the holes are filled with tinted putty so they disappear.
Yes. Dry heat shrinks those boards, so we fill the seams with a tinted filler that holds through winter.
Often the same week, and a small patch is usually cut, set and coated before the afternoon is over.
A year of labor coverage comes with every Derby patch, and the installers doing it carry a license, insurance and NWFA training.
