These Hardwood Floor Damages Don’t Spook N-Hance

Here are 10 common hardwood floor damages that, although many people think are beyond repair, N-Hance of Palm Beach & Martin County can easily fix with hammered floor refinishing.

 

Pet Stains. We love our pets, but their urine can severely damage and stain hardwood floors.

 

Worn, gray areas. Regular traffic is bound to wear down the finish on hardwood floors. In some older homes, this type of damage is more extensive.

 

Separations between boards. When homes are heated or the air becomes dry, wood loses its moisture content. This causes separation in between planks, especially if the floors were installed during a humid season.

 

Paste Wax. Hardwood floor waxing can restore shine to dull floors. However, if the wax is applied unevenly or improperly, floors can actually appear worse than they did before.

 

Joint separation and holes. You may notice separation at the end of each board or nail holes. This is likely from carpet being carelessly removed from an existing hardwood floor.

 

Paint or marker spots. Paint and marker may deposit on floors by accident, or by the negligence of painters or previous homeowners.

 

Chatter marks. This damage describes a rippling pattern of half circle marks as a result of sanding that wasn’t done properly. These marks become especially visible after a stain is applied.

 

Sun fading. This is bound to happen over time and may be especially apparent when an area rug or furniture is moved.

 

Gouges and scratches. Gouges, scuffs, and scratches are likely to occur on hardwood floors. In some cases, like furniture being dragged over floors, this damage is severe.

 

Water damage. Flooding can happen in a variety of ways, like overflowing sinks or bathtubs, bad pipes, broken appliances, and rainwater.
