How do I repair a dent in an oak floor, with a depth about the size of a pin head and a width about the size of 2 pin heads? I know it’s small, but my wife notices it when the sun hits it just right.

I moved a heavy plant and scratched my newly done wood floor. There were gliders that were supposed to prevent scratching. They are fine scratches, but there are quite a few. They are just in a small area of the floor, but they are white scratches. My housekeeper tried to use the rough side of a scrounge pad to get them off, which also dulled the finish a bit. The floor guy left me some of the poly, but I am not sure what to do with it.

When my new bar was installed, the installer damaged our new cedar floor. The GC used Scotch Brite to finely sand off the problem. When it was time to put the final coating over the damaged area he got what he described as “flashing” (streaking). How can this be fixed?

I have recently installed high gloss (1 pack high solids finish) black timber floors throughout my apartment. They are showing scuff marks. How can I clean them without breaking my back or leaving streaks? In the low light they look gorgeous.

We recently had ***** ******* ****** laminate installed in our home. It always seems to look dull and show prints. We are noticing scuff marks appearing, as well as scratches. Is there anything we can do? Is there any type of scuff repair on the market?

We have hardwood flooring, and recently something heavy fell on the floor leaving 2 dents. How can I replace the boards the easiest, and without it looking like something happened? I have extra planks.

I have a floor that is relatively new, but it has a few scratches caused by furniture drags. How do I fix it?

We recently purchased a brand new house with pre-finished Brazilian hard wood floors. During the inspection we noted that there were foot prints all over the floor that did not wipe up. When we took possession of the house, these foot prints were still present. Thus far, we have had the builders come in 3 times and each time they say it requires a good cleaning. For the most part, the foot prints are gone now, but the last time they cleaned the floors one of their workers said they were using paint thinner. They are denying that comment now, but it seems that whenever we walk across the floors barefoot now it leaves footprints. Is it normal that walking barefoot on your wood floors would leave footprints that have to be rubbed out?

Could I poke pinholes through the finish and have the steam go into the wood that way? I would live with a small dent or even 10 small dents… this is prettty much a huge, loooong dent. Have you heard of this trick and could it work?

I arrived at your site via Google. I have new cherry wood floors and I have dropped a heavy object on it and created a divot, small, maybe the size of a quarter wide, but it is a shame. I would like to know what you can do about it and what the cost would be…

We have a newly installed pre-finished wood floor (maple, with a clear finish). There are a number of dents and scratches that apparently occurred during installation, some uneven boards (high or low relative to those next to them), and a few spots where the boards meet at an angle so that there’s a small triangular gap in the floor. Is this all normal?

This morning I dropped a very hot burner from the stove off onto my laminated wood floor. I now have a burner ring burn mark on the floor. What should I do? Can you replace just the one board or do I need to replace the whole floor? Or can that board be repaired?

What is the best way to remove (or repair) scratches in wood floors?

My dog had made light scratches on my pre finished wood floor. Can you sand them down or is there something else that can be done?

I have roller dents in a kitchen hardwood floor from moving the refrigerator. First question: What is “too deep” to repair? And, if I remove the finish and decide to try the “steam technique,” would you explain to me how that works?

I recently had my hardwood floors redone. I noticed that my kitchen (which is pine) shows even slight scratch marks. You can make a scratch by running your fingernail across it. I have a small dog, about 5 pounds, and his nails leave marks. Is this normal? I know the rest of my floors are oak and stained lighter, and I do not seem to notice this problem with them.

I rearranged my bedroom, which has hardwood flooring. The dressers left scuff marks from me moving them. How do I get rid of the scuff marks?

I just built a new house and my floors on the first floor have a consistent wave in them that you can only see if light is shining on it. The contractor at first said his machine was broke; so, he did it again and got the same result. Now he thinks that the floor isn’t sturdy enough and has too much bounce. Could that be possible? Or because the machine was broke the first time, the floors can’t be repaired? He sanded them a third time and nothing changed.

I had Brazilian cherry hardwood floor installed, stained with sedona red from miniwax, and it looked great until I put the fast drying polyurethane down. I sanded it with 220 grit. The first coast went down easy and soaked it, but the second coat was hard to spread, like putting glue and now you can see all the marks where the lambswool stopped and started. It is oil based and I don’t know how or why it looks like this and how to fix it.

I have a main floor with prefinished maple hardwood. The floor has quite a few scratches from dogs. We are selling the house in the next year and would like to repair it, as cost effectively as possible. If you could explain our options that would be greatly appreciated.
