People often tear out their hardwood floors because they believe the damage is so extensive that there’s no hope for restoring them. Original hardwood floors are rare, timeless gems—why is why it can be a tragedy to jump the gun when it comes to getting rid of them.
Whether you’re questioning if your antique hardwood floors can really be fixed, or if your newer floors have endured damage, you should know that hardwood floor refinishing can repair and rejuvenate hardwood that appears to be in the worst possible shape.
Hardwood Floor Damage Is No Match For N-Hance
These are 10 signs of damage that are most commonly found on hardwood floors—and that N-Hance of Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach specializes in fixing with our hardwood floor refinishing services.
#1 – Water damage. Flooding from rainwater, overflowing sinks or bathtubs, broken pipes, and more can be devastating for hardwood floors.
#2 – Pet. When pet urine or feces are deposited on hardwood floors, nasty stains are left behind.
#3 – Scratches and deep gouges. Whether light or deep, scratches, scuff marks and gouges are commonly found on hardwood floors. This can happen in a variety of ways, like from heavy furniture, things being dropped on your floors, and more.
#4 – Gray, worn spots. This surfaces of your hardwood floors will wear down over time with regular traffic and day-to-day wear.
#5 – Fading from the sun. UV rays from daily sunlight can fade hardwood floor surfaces—especially in exposed areas that aren’t covered by area rugs or furniture.
#6 – Holes and separation at joints. There may be nail holes from carpet removal in your hardwood floors or visible separation at the end of each board.
#7 – Board separation. You may notice the separation between hardwood floorboards as a result of the wood drying out and shrinking. When hardwood floors are heated and lose their moisture content, the planks can separate from each other. There’s a higher risk of separation between boards occurring in humid areas.
#8 – Chatter marks. Chattering is a sort of half circle, rippling pattern that occurs when hardwood floors aren’t sanded properly. Applying a hardwood stain makes this type of damage even more visible.
#9 – Paint spots. Paint, marker, and other permanent substances are often left behind on hardwood floors.
#10 – Floor Wax. Paste wax can restore shine to hardwood floors, and also damage the surface of floors if not applied properly.
