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 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.

How do I get burn marks off my wood floors? They are from cigarettes. I don’t want to get floors redone for a few little spots.

I have laminated flooring. We scratched it during Christmas. Is there any way to remove the scratch without having the floor replaced?

I have a beautiful home with hardwood floors. I also have 4 young boys who have made marks and dull streaks, and scratches from toys. What can I do, that isn’t too expensive, to make my floor look like new again?

I have vintage flooring, jatoba, with an aluminum oxide finish. When a contractor was working in the house the other day, he scratched one of my boards with a pretty long 6″ scratch that is highly visible during the day. Is there a way to buff this out? I tried to apply a stain pen but it won’t take the stain. Any suggestions?

I need a quick repair on a scratch across my light oak wood floor. I do not want a kit, just a homemade quick fix. I need to refinish them one day soon, but I need to do this touch up quickly, with an at home item.

I have a 1948 river cottage with beautiful pine floors. When I purchased the property the kitchen had two vinyl tile floors, one on top of the other, which I removed and covered with 1/2 inch plywood then a sheet of vinyl.The property became a rental for about 3 years. Now, I want to remove the sheet of vinyl and plywood and refinish the kitchen floor. My concern is that I used 1-1/2 inch fine thread sheet rock screws to hold the plywood down and that when I go to refinish the floors I will have 100 small screw holes throughout. I also chunked the floor up pretty bad in some places when removing the old vinyl tile floor, It was held down with the old black tar like adhesive. Is there anything I can do to hide the 60-100 screw holes? How about the chunking I did with a chisel like tools? Maybe I could take pine boards from under the kitchen cabinets?

I just bought an old house. I ripped up the worn-out carpet in the hall to find hardwood flooring underneath. It extends into the bedrooms. However, the hallway has an area of what appears to be water damage. It is stained, and the boards even seem to have changed in texture and seem to have shrunk some. Can that be sanded down, or will I need to replace those boards?

We built a new home last year and installed S******* engineered wood floors throughout most of the downstairs. Even though we keep our dog’s claws clipped, we still have lots of scratches. The finish is aluminum oxide. I’ve tried the standard scratch repair kits (filler, crayon type fillers, etc.) and it does nothing. I’m trying to contact the manufacturer but do you have any ideas? Can the floors be sanded and refinished?

Our dogs and child have managed to thoroughly dent our 90 year old Swedish finished fir flooring. We are preparing to sand the floors in hopes to be able to at least minimize the dents. My question is what should we use to refinish that will 1) make less visible any remaining dents and 2) prevent further damage? (We are not set on Swedish Finish)

I have scratches, from moving furniture, on my wood floors. Without getting them refinished again, is there anything I can do to buff them out?
