Expert Wood Floor Repair Services in Illinois

Wood floors can suffer from all kinds of damage, from minor scratches to deeper gouges. For light scratches, a touch-up marker or a bit of wood filler can work wonders. For more significant damage, such as deep scratches or dents, sanding the area down and refinishing it is often the best approach. Our expert repair team can handle everything from simple touch-ups to complete refinishing, restoring your floors to like-new condition.

Yes, minor damage can often be repaired without sanding! Small scratches can be touched up with markers, wax sticks, or even oil-based wood polish. If the damage is confined to a specific area, local refinishing (also known as “screening”) can be used to restore the finish without sanding the entire floor. However, for more extensive damage, sanding may be necessary to achieve a consistent, flawless result.

Scratches are a common issue with hardwood floors, but the good news is, they’re often easy to fix! For surface-level scratches, try using a wood polish or a scratch repair kit. For deeper scratches, sanding and refinishing might be needed to restore the floor’s original beauty. Prevention is key—use furniture pads and avoid dragging heavy items across the floor to minimize future scratches. 

Over time, gaps can form between wood floorboards, usually due to changes in humidity. To fix them, you can try filling small gaps with wood filler or using rope caulk for a flexible solution. Larger gaps might require professional attention to avoid further damage or warping. At Ramos Wood Floors, we ensure gaps are expertly handled, leaving your floor smooth and secure.
