Real project · Malibu
Custom walnut parquet in Malibu
After an AC leak, we made new Versailles parquet pieces from raw walnut and matched them to the hall.
Repairs we do
- Boards damaged by water from leaks, rain or appliances
- Sections damaged by termites
- Patches where a wall, cabinet or vent was removed
- Deep scratches, gouges and pet stains that sanding cannot remove
- Loose or squeaky boards
Fix the cause first
If water caused the damage, the leak has to be fixed and the subfloor has to be dry before new wood goes in. Otherwise the new boards can cup or swell again. We check moisture before we replace anything.
Making the repair disappear
We weave new boards into the existing floor so there is no straight seam. Then we usually sand and refinish the whole room so the old and new wood take the same color. Clients often tell us they cannot find the repair afterwards, including one home with water and termite damage in the same room.

How the price is set
Every floor is different, so we do not quote from a chart. We come to your home for free, look at the floor, measure, and give you a written price for your project. You decide with no pressure. If you want to compare quotes, take your time.
If you already bought your own material, we can do the labor only. If you need material, we supply it as part of the job. We do not sell material on its own, because we are a contractor and not a store.
Questions about hardwood floor repair
Can you match boards on an old floor?
Usually yes. For older floors we look for wood of the same species and width. Refinishing the room afterwards evens out the color.
Is a small repair worth it?
Often it is the cheapest way to save a good floor. We will tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or if the floor needs more.
My floor is cupping after a leak. What do I do?
Stop the water first and let the area dry. Do not sand a wet floor. Call us and we will check moisture and tell you the next step.
