I like that Mike actually measured the area to be refinished and provided a professional quote rather than a random amount. Their contractors were also professional in their behavior and got the job done a day ahead of schedule. My floors look rich and alive after the refinishing.

In 2000 William Zavala decided to start his own business, Under Zavala's Floors LLC to provide services in the wood industry in 2005 began high quality interior painting services and provided competitive prices to all customers in the three states Maryland, Washington, and Virginia. The company prides itself on providing great commitment to each project with 100% customer satisfaction!

"Mr Zavala was hired to replace the existing heart pine flooring with a new subfloor and hardwood flooring. After a couple of weeks he still had not finished removing the old flooring. After applying some pressure to get the job, he proceeded to install the subfloor on the second floor in a shoddy manner, leaving us with an uneven subfloor. He also installed the subfloor with improper nails (smooth shank) when he should have used screws or at least ring shank. In addition, there were spots where he removed the old flooring (which functions as a subfloor in old houses) underneath a partition wall, causing the partition wall to sag. At that point we lost confidence in him and fired him. Unfortunately, we had paid him half the money at the start of the job and he only completed about 1/4 of it (badly). We subsequently got estimates from other contractors who told us he had installed the subfloor incorrectly, cutting the panels too small and not using the built in grooves to align the panels. Furthermore, they informed us that it is standard professional practice to inform the owner of the value of their existing flooring, which was long-leaf heart pine. We should have been compensated for this removed material which has considerable salvage value. So it it clear that he was taking his sweet time to remove the old heart pine so that he could maximize its value to him. Furthermore, a $1000 bicycle went missing while he was working in the house, which I suspect was taken by one of his workers. Needless to say, hire this guy at your own risk."

"Wow! We cannot say thank you enough to Masood and his installation team. From the first of many visits to Masood's store with question after question he patiently helped us along to better understand what carpet is and how to compare it to other vendor products. He listened to our situation and gave great advice. We made no bones about shopping with other vendors and Masood stood true to his word that we would not find a better product at a better price. Of three other vendor quotes we settled with Masood. And, he met our need for a very quick install. My family and I love our new carpet and cannot imagine the job being done by anyone else. Giving a 5 Star review isn't our norm, but we are giving it to Masood and his team. Thank you, Masood and team for all your support and hard work. It was great to work with you!!!"

Wood flooring repair or partial replacements FAQs

Refinishing a wooden floor is one type of repair. For example, pros often refinish hardwood floors to repair scratches. They'll remove the top layer with a sander and put a new layer of stain and sealant on it. For wooden floor issues, such as water damage, cupping, or unevenness, you're likely looking at a different repair method, like sanding, applying wood filler, or leveling the floor.

How you repair damaged wood floors will depend on the cause of the damage. Typically, damaged wood floors are either refinished or replaced, depending on the extent of the specific issue and the recommendation of a local hardwood floor installer. Common ways to repair hardwood floors include sanding, refinishing, or completely replacing the damaged wood floors.

Consult a wood flooring professional to determine if you need to replace your floors. A pro can tell you if you can refinish what you have or if you need to replace it. While hardwood floors can be expensive, they can last for generations with proper maintenance. So you may opt to repair rather than completely replace your wooden floors.

The best way to protect your hardwood floors from water damage is to keep water away from them. Remember that prevention is better than action. You can proactively keep moisture away from your floors by inspecting your pipes annually and monitoring the humidity levels in your home. In addition, consider using rugs to protect your wooden floors and clean up spills as soon as they happen.

Most engineered hardwood floors have a wear layer, which means you can sand it down once or twice. Otherwise, repairs mean replacement, with engineered wood floors costing around $2,000 to $7,000. Consult a professional specializing in engineered wood to determine if your flooring should be repaired or replaced.

Yes, you can fix hardwood floor gouges using a high-quality wood filler. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the damaged area and removing any debris. Then, fill the gouge with matching wood filler, smooth it with a putty knife, and let it cure completely. Once dry, lightly sand the area and apply a finish that blends with the surrounding wood.
