Can a single hardwood board be replaced?
Yes. A skilled installer can cut out a damaged board and weave in a new one without pulling up the rest of the floor. Matching the stain and sheen is the key part of the job.
Will the repair match my existing floor?
Pros match species, width, and color as closely as possible. Older floors that have aged or been refinished may show a slight difference at first that softens over time.
What causes cupping?
Almost always moisture, from a leak, a damp basement or crawlspace, or high indoor humidity. The moisture source needs to be fixed before the floor is repaired.
