Title: Wood Floor Repair Post by: jne on June 08, 2009, 01:18:35 pm OK, so I just put a really good gouge across the grain in my nice wood floor. I was moving a big piece of furniture for the Cox cable contractor, again (whole other story). I'm thinking surely this is a pretty simple repair for someone who knows what they are doing. I could try to putty it and match it up and draw grain on it, but I'm sure it will still look like crap. Any recommendations for a wood floor guy? This isn't going to be THAT expensive is it?

I recommend calling the place that installed the wood floor if you know who it was and get a quote. It probably is not as much as you would think. I also recommend using those soft pads on the bottom of all your furniture.

It kinda looks like crap, but it is no longer the focal point of my living room. Hopefully a little polyurethane will help shine it up a bit and help it blend a little more.
