## Service Summary

A damaged section of wood flooring does not always mean replacing the entire room. Hardwood Floors by Mario diagnoses and repairs localized board damage, appliance or doorway water stains, openings left by wall or cabinet remodels, and aging historic wood floors (including century-old Douglas fir and oak floors).

## Core Repair & Restoration Capabilities

- **Targeted Board Removal & Lacing:** Removing split, gouged, or water-stained planks and weaving replacement boards into the surrounding floor pattern.
- **Post-Leak & Moisture Damage Restoration:** Evaluating cupping, crowning, gaps, or darkened wood after a plumbing or appliance leak. *(Note: Active moisture sources must be resolved before wood floor repairs begin.)*
- **Remodel & Transition Patching:** Filling flooring gaps after walls, closets, or kitchen islands are moved, and establishing clean transitions between rooms.
- **Older & Historic Floor Restoration:** Careful assessment of older Northwest wood floors—accounting for previous sandings, board thickness, fastener marks, and wood age—before combining repairs with full-room refinishing.

## What to Share When Requesting a Repair Assessment

- Photographs showing both the close-up damage and the wider room context.
- What caused the damage (leak, pet stain, heavy impact, remodel) and whether the cause is resolved.
- Any leftover flooring boxes or knowledge of the wood species and existing finish.
