Boards Matched to Yours
Many Essex capes and ranches were built with red oak strip in standard widths, so we carry it and layer the color until the patch disappears.

/ LOCAL REPAIR CREW
Essex Hardwood Floor Repair
We repair floors in North Main Street Federals, Centerbrook farmhouses, Ivoryton cottages and the homes along Bokum Road, Plains Road and Kelsey Hill Road. River damp, pets and generations of foot traffic take their toll, so the failed strips come out and new oak goes in.
/ WHAT WE FIX MOST
Hardwood Floor Repair Services
Old Essex oak is worth keeping. Replace the strips that split, flooded or stained, blend the color and the room reads whole again.
Cracked Board Replacement
A strip cracked by a moved piano in a North Main Street home is lifted and new oak fitted in.
Water Damaged Floors
Boards flooded by an Ivoryton washer leak dry under the meter, and only the ones that stay cupped go.

Pet stains in a Bokum Road bedroom come out with the strips, the subfloor is sealed and new oak toned in.
Squeaky Floor Repair
A squeaky upstairs hall in a Pratt Street colonial is screwed down from above until it goes quiet.
Gap Filling
Gaps along the baseboard heat in a Plains Road ranch close with a tinted filler in the oak color.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow do you price a floor repair in Essex?
The price depends on how many strips need replacing and what caused the damage, with repairs starting at $150. A free visit ends with a written quote in your hand.
Can a floor be saved after a washer leak?
Usually. We dry the room, read the meter over several days and swap only the boards that never flatten.
The sump pump failed and the floor above feels damp. Is it ruined?
Not always. We check from the basement and from the room, dry everything and replace only the strips that stay damaged.
Do you carry red oak for Ivoryton cottages?
Yes, since nearly every cape and cottage in Essex has it. We keep it on the truck and layer the color to match.
How do you fix a squeaky hall?
Trim head screws go down through the boards into the framing below, and tinted putty fills each hole.
Can gaps by the baseboard heat be closed?
Yes. The baseboard heat shrinks those boards each winter, so we pack the seams with a flexible filler tinted to the oak.
How quickly can you get to Essex?
Often the same week, since Milford is about 45 minutes away. A patch of a few boards is normally cut, fitted and coated before the crew breaks for lunch.
What warranty comes with the repair?
One year on the labor, and the NWFA trained installers who do the work are licensed and insured.
