Board replacement and weaving
Damaged boards are cut out and new boards are woven into the pattern so the joints stay staggered. The new wood is usually unfinished, so the area is sanded and finished with the surrounding floor. In practice a replacement of a few boards leads to refinishing the whole room, because stain and sheen rarely match an old finish across a repair.
Gaps, squeaks and pet stains
| Problem | Usual cause | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|
| Gaps between boards | Seasonal drying, especially during Santa Ana winds | Often left until the damp season; filled with flexible filler or slivers if they stay |
| Squeaks | Boards rubbing a nail or the subfloor | Fasteners added from above or below, depending on access |
| Pet stains | Urine soaking into the wood | Sanding for light stains; boards replaced if the dark stain goes deep |
| Deep scratches and gouges | Furniture, grit, pet nails | Filled and blended, or sanded out during a refinish |
| Loose or lifting boards | Failed adhesive or fasteners | Re-fastened; moisture checked first |
When one repair becomes a refinish
A repair that touches many boards, or a floor that is already dull, tends to be priced better as a sand and refinish than as a patch. The calculator shows both: boards as a flat line next to the refinish rate.

Hardwood Floor Repair — common questions
Will new boards match my old floor?
Only after the area is sanded and finished with the rest of the room. Species, age and previous stain all affect the match, so a sample under the room's light helps.
Why does my floor squeak?
Usually boards moving against a nail or the subfloor. A fix depends on whether the underside can be reached.
