From repairing wood floors to stretching buckled carpets, Floors Etc. is here to help.
Wood floors are one of the most beautiful features in any home, but they can also be quite the eyesore if they become damaged or are not properly maintained.
Whether you’re paying out of pocket, or through an insurance claim, our flooring experts are ready to help you with anything from:
water damage to
cracked, uneven or missing boards to
a floor that has been chewed up by your four-legged best friend (IT HAPPENS!).
We’re often relied on by top builders and interior designers, who trust our expertise in hardwood floor repair and restoration.
Nobody likes a lumpy carpet – it’s not pretty, and it’s not comfortable.
Heavy furniture, lots of foot traffic, spills and wet accidents, and over-wetting are among of the major causes of carpet wrinkling or rippling.
Life happens, and over the years of owning a hardwood floor, many things can happen to it. People often seem to think that if their floors are significantly damaged that their only option is to replace them…a costly option compared to repair work. Before you give up on your existing floors, let Floors Etc. come assess the shape of your flooring and educate you on all of your options so you can make a sound flooring decision. We save our clients money all the time by repairing their damaged areas while preserving the rest of their floor. Give us a call, and let us make a trained assessment of your damaged hardwood floor – if we can repair it instead of replacing it, we’ll tell you!
Disclaimer: If the problem is serious and affects a large portion of the floor, then the entire floor may need to be restored or replaced.

Water leakage, excessive heat, renovations, or other situations in your home can cause damage to your floor. Here are some signs that your hardwood floor could need some repairs:
Scratches, marks, and/or stains on the wood surface
Squeaky floor
Missing boards

the problem will almost always require refinishing and/or the replacement
of some – or all – of the damaged wood.” Sandra Burnett – Floors Etc., President
Time is of the essence when you have water damage to wooden floors in your home. When water damage is present in your wood floors, your response in the 24 hours (or less) are the most critical to avoiding long-term damage. Even minor spills should be cleaned up right away using an absorbent towel or some paper towels. If your spill is overwhelming or in any way destructive, or you’ve experienced a flood in your home, call a hardwood floor expert—like Floors Etc.!
Warning Signs of Water Damage to Hardwood Floors
Water damage on hardwood floors can sometimes go undetected. When you notice that there may be something off about your hardwood floor, damage has already been done. If you notice any of the following warning signs, you may have delayed water damage to your hardwood floors:
