Damaged Floor Repair in Lee's Summit

Even the homeowners who are the most attentive to their hardwood floorings can not foresee small splits or cracks in the surface of the wood. Luckily in this case repairs usually only require a single board replacement.

Splitting or Cracking

Even for the most attentive homeowners, there is always a chance for their hardwood floors to develop small splits or cracks in the surface of the wood. The good thing is that repairs can be made without working on the entire floor!

Gapping

Wood expands and contracts as the wood tries to reach an equilibrium often leaving small gaps between floorboards. This is often due to changing humidity levels. Contact us if your floors are suffering from gapping.

Buckling

Extreme moisture can cause buckling and warping of your floors. When this happens we take the necessary steps to replace your damaged flooring and find the source of the problem so we can prevent further damage in the future.

Cupping

Similar to buckling, when the edges of hardwood planks begin to rise up, this is known as cupping. What causes a cupped floor is an imbalance of moisture. Our team implements board replacement strategies to solve cupping problems.

Warping

Rarely will wood warp due to a faulty installation. It is more likely a sign of a moisture problem in the home. Let Totta Hardwoods assess your problems and provide solutions to fixing warped wood.

We were referred by 3 people who used Totta. I was so impressed that I didn’t even get multiple quotes. When Ben came out to give me a quote he took a thorough evaluation of the floors and answered all questions. We have Red Oak floors so I was worried about the pink and blue hues coming through on lighter colored floors. Extra time was spent to make sure that we were happy with the Rustic Beige color. Josh and Matt were the ones working on our floors and they were fantastic! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer questions. My floors are beautiful and I would highly recommend using Totta.

The experience with Totta Hardwoods was amazing. From the very first estimate visit to the completion of the floors, I was pleased with the courtesy, efficiency, quality of workmanship and overall care of my wood floors. It was magical to observe how they laced into existing 15-year-old floors, sanded the old and new and stained the entire area that now looks brand new!

We have used Totta Hardwoods twice and both have been good experiences. The young men who came every day were such hard workers, polite in every way, and got the job done in a timely manner. We appreciate the help Mike gave us in finding a match to the other flooring in our home. I highly recommend this company.

We had Totta Hardwoods install new hardwood floors throughout our home on a major remodel project. Alex and team were skilled craftsmen and not only met, but exceeded our expectations. They were meticulous, efficient, courteous, mindful and diligent in their work. We couldn’t be happier. Without reservation, we provide this 5 star review and highly recommend Totta Hardwoods to anyone!! Thank You!!

Our Totta experience just finished up and we couldn’t be happier or prouder of our home. We interviewed 3 companies to sand and refinish our 1,000+ sq ft hardwood floor and only Totta uses a vacuum system which cut down tremendously on dust and thus the mess. Our team came with the best leader, Randy, who bent over backwards to make our decisions easier and therefore replaced anxiety with excitement. Our experience included a professional moving company that took the worry and hassle out of how we were going to get our furniture out of the way and then carefully moved back in right where we wanted it, a big shout out to Anthony of Familytime Moving and crew, they were professional, personable and quick! Thank you Mike Totta for an impressive interview which got the ball rolling. We highly recommend Totta Hardwoods.

Our floors where built in 1939 oak floor, the previous owner put linoleum down on part of the floor. Totta took up the linoleum and refinished all the oak floors in the living room and hall way. They are beautiful, I think they look more beautiful than they were when they were put down. Just guessing I am not that old. We had our kitchen floors refinished by a different company a year ago and Totta's makes those floors look like they didn't finish them, so I am having them come back out and redo the kitchen floors so they look as beautiful as the living room floor. They did a GREAT job! Will never use anyone else to finish the other floors in my house.

Very professional and helpful from the beginning. We had a floor installed and another repaired that was badly damaged — they all look great. The crew was easy and actually fun to work with, as well as prompt and responsive. Well worth what we paid for. Highly recommend.

FAQS

Recoat - during a recoat, we will lightly abrade the floor before applying a fresh coat of finish. This does not get rid of the color of your floors, but removes most shallow scratches and gives your floors a refreshed look.

Refinishing - during a refinish we will sand down your floors to the raw wood (taking off the coating and stain on your hardwood). We can then add a new texture, stain, and lace your existing hardwood flooring into new hardwood before we finish the floors.

Repairs - Repairs can be done with either of the above, however, the damage sustained to your floors will be dependent on whether a recoat or a refinish will have to be done to the repaired area.

A regular floor cleaning routine will not only remove surface allergens that collect on your floor and contribute to itchy eyes, running nose, and sneezing. It will also remove dirt and debris that can cause damage to your floor’s finish. Download our Floor Maintenance Planner for a simple guide to helping you increase the longevity of your floors and create an overall healthier home environment.

Deep Cleaning should be performed 2-4 times a year to remove dirt and grime build up creating a healthier environment, adding protection to your finish, and saving money.

Maintenance Coat should be reapplied to avoid costly repairs and complete the sand & refinish process.

Refinish your hardwood floors to repair major damage like deep scratches, gouges, discoloration, and fading. Also, a great opportunity to update the look of your floor.

These problems are likely to be caused by low humidity and low moisture in the room, causing the wood to dry out. Regardless of the effort placed in maintaining your hardwood flooring, there is always a chance for hardwood floors to develop small splits or cracks in the surface of the wood.

Most of the time Mother Nature can be the one to blame for this. Wood expands and contracts relative to the humidity in the air as it tries to reach equilibrium. That expansion and contraction will cause the hardwood floors to gap.

We recommend monitoring and maintaining a consistent humidity level in your home as the best way to help prevent some of the season gapping.

The main cause of squeaky floors is movement. There are typically three (3) reasons movement occurs on your floor.

Seasonal Movement - Floors expand and shrink with season change due to a lack of or too much humidity. This expanding and shrinking loosens flooring boards and will cause squeaks between flooring boards or within the fastener and subfloor.
Subfloor Issues - Subfloor issues are common culprits of squeaky floors and should be addressed before the new flooring is installed. Here are some common subfloor issues:
1. Out of level subfloor
2. Spacing between the subfloor and joists
3. Subfloor seams off-center with joists
4. Improper subfloor material.
Fasteners - Improperly fastening a floor is a sure way to cause squeaks. If the flooring is not installed with the proper fastener schedule (spacing between fastener) or the wrong size fastener your floor will loosen and squeak. Over seating, a fastener will also create squeaks when the fastener pushes through the bottom of the board separating it from the subfloor.
