Boards Matched to Yours

Red oak strip in the common widths is what most Ellington farmhouses and colonials have, so it rides on the truck, and the color is layered on until the new boards vanish into the old.

Moisture Checked at Home

Begin with the free estimate. The moisture meter goes on the floor, we look at the joists from the basement and point out exactly which boards have to come out.

No More Squeaks or Gaps

Older Ellington homes squeak in the upstairs hall and open gaps next to the baseboard heat every winter. We fasten the boards to the joists from above to stop the squeak and pack the seams with a filler tinted to the oak.

One Year Repair Warranty

The labor on every Ellington repair carries a one year warranty, and the people doing it are licensed, insured and NWFA trained.

Ellington Hardwood Floor Repair

We repair floors in Ellington farmhouses near the center, cottages on Crystal Lake, colonials at Crystal Ridge and Windermere and older homes along Maple Street and Sadds Mill Road. Runoff, pets and busy households wear oak down, so the failed strips are swapped, color matched and sealed until nobody can find them.

/ WHAT WE FIX MOST

Hardwood Floor Repair Services

Old oak in an Ellington farmhouse deserves saving. Replace what cracked, soaked or stained, work the color in by hand, and the floor looks like it was never touched.

Cracked Board Replacement

A dresser dragged across a Maple Street bedroom split one board, so it came out and a new oak length went in.

Water Damaged Floors

Spring runoff soaked a Crystal Lake cottage floor, so it dried under the meter and the cupped boards were swapped.

Pet Stain Removal

Black pet stains in a Windermere bedroom came out with the strips, the subfloor was sealed and new oak toned in.

Squeaky Floor Repair

An upstairs hall in a farmhouse near Ellington Center squeaked at every step until screws from above pinned it to the joists.

Gap Filling

Winter gaps beside the baseboard heat in a Somers Road ranch closed with a flexible fill tinted to the oak.

Scratch and Gouge Repair

Deep scratches in a Crystal Ridge colonial were sanded out along the grain and the room recoated.

Refinishing, Oak Stairs and Vinyl in Ellington

Once the boards are fixed, many Ellington families go on to refinish the whole first floor, rebuild carpeted stairs with oak treads or put vinyl plank in a basement that takes water each spring.

How is an Ellington floor repair priced?

Repairs start at $150 and the final figure depends on how many strips failed and why. The free visit ends with a written quote.

Can you fix a floor after spring runoff gets in?

Yes, we dry the floor, meter it for a week or two and change only the boards that remain cupped. Everything else is sanded flush and blended.

The sump pump quit in a storm. Is the floor above it ruined?

Not necessarily, because oak that flattens as it dries stays in place. A couple of weeks of meter readings tell us what actually needs replacing.

Do you keep red oak for farmhouses and colonials on the truck?

Yes, red oak strip in the standard widths is always on board. We check the width and grade at the estimate so the new boards disappear into the old.

How do you quiet a squeaky hall?

Screws go through the board into the joist from above and the heads are hidden with a filler in the oak color. If the basement ceiling is open, we add shims from below as well.

Can the gaps by the baseboard heat be closed?

Yes, a flexible filler in the oak color takes care of gaps that open when the heat comes on. Anything too wide for filler gets a slim new strip of oak.

How soon can you come out?

Most Ellington repairs are on the calendar within a week of the estimate. Because matching oak is already on the truck, the work is usually done in one visit.

What warranty comes with the repair?

Our labor is warrantied for a year. If a new board works loose or the color shifts because of something we did, we come back and fix it free.
