Boards Matched to Yours
First we identify the wood, measure strip width and study the grain. Stain is then tried on offcuts of new oak until it sits comfortably next to your old floor.

Wood Floor Repair Options
Salt spray blown under a slider on Sconticut Neck, a washer hose that burst in a house off Huttleston Avenue, or a retriever shaking off by the kitchen door after a swim at Fort Phoenix. We cut out the ruined strips and lace in matching oak until the patch disappears.
Board Replacement
Cracked strips are pried free one at a time. New oak milled to your width is laced back into the floor, staggering the joints so the repair blends in.

No More Squeaks or Gaps
Strips that rattle get fastened tight, and seams that widen in dry winter heat are filled before sand from the beach can lodge inside them.

/ LOCAL REPAIR CREW
Fairhaven Wood Floor Repair Crew
We fix floors from captains' homes near the Millicent Library to summer cottages at Priest's Cove. Damp harbor air, nor'easter leaks, sandy dogs and decades of foot traffic each leave marks. A tech inspects every spot in person, prices it in writing, and most repairs wrap up within a single visit.
/ WHAT WE FIX MOST
Hardwood Floor Repair Services
Hurt oak rarely needs replacing from wall to wall. A small set of new strips, matched and finished with care, usually brings a room back for far less.
Cracked Board Replacement
Strips split under a cast iron stove or a heavy hutch are lifted out and rebuilt with sound new oak.
Water Damaged Floors
Oak swollen by a leaking dishwasher near Washington Street is dried first, and any strip still raised is replaced.
Pet Stain Removal
Dark pet spots in a dining room near Cushman Park are cut away, then refilled with oak tinted to melt into the old floor.
Squeaky Floor Repair
Noisy spots along an upstairs hall are drawn down to the joists from above with long trim screws.
Gap Filling
Seams that widen when the heat comes on around Columbus Day are packed with filler, keeping sand out.
Scratch and Gouge Repair
Claw scratches and dents left by a dropped cast iron pan are filled, lightly sanded and resealed.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateCan you match oak laid down a hundred years ago?
Usually, yes. We bring offcuts of new oak and tint them right in your room, holding each sample beside the old strips under your own lighting until the color and grain read as one floor.
How do you price a repair?
We quote each repair only after a free visit, because two patches of the same size can need very different work. The tech checks for hidden moisture and loose subfloor, then hands you one written figure.
What causes cupping near the slider?
Moisture from wet towels, beach sand tracked in damp, or salty air pushing under a door swells the bottom of each strip. Once the area dries out we either flatten it with sanding or replace pieces that stay raised.
Will the patch show after a few months?
Fresh oak can darken a touch as it ages in sunlight, so we tint the new strips slightly toward where the old floor is headed. Most owners stop noticing the spot within weeks.
Do you fix squeaks without pulling up the floor?
Yes. Long trim screws are driven down through the oak into the joists from above, the heads are sunk and covered with tinted filler, and the noise is gone without lifting a single strip.
Can deep pet stains be sanded away?
Rarely. Urine soaks past the surface and turns the wood black inside, so sanding just reveals more stain. Those strips are cut out, replaced with sound oak, and the section is refinished.
Is the repair work guaranteed?
Yes. Should a fixed strip rise again or a squeak come back before a year is up, a licensed, insured tech from our company comes out and corrects it free of charge, and the wood maker's warranty applies as well.
Will a repair keep my kitchen closed for days?
Small patches and squeak fixes often wrap up the same afternoon. Bigger areas where stain and finish must dry can run two to three days, and the tech tells you the timing at the estimate.
