Sun-faded boards near south-facing windows are a common issue.. East County repairs include sun-faded boards near south-facing windows.
Can you match my existing hardwood?
We carry common species and popular widths in stock and can usually source close matches in a few days. The harder part is matching the finish, old polyurethane has ambered, and a fresh-finish board next to a 15-year-old board will read different. We blend by feathering the finish or, in worst cases, refinishing the whole room.
Why does my floor squeak?
Squeaks come from movement: a board moving against a nail, two boards rubbing together, or a subfloor moving against a joist. The fix depends on the cause. If we have access from the basement or crawlspace, a screw and shim from below is the cleanest fix. If not, we use a Squeeeeek-No-More kit from above, which leaves a small filled hole.
