Weaving New Hardwood Into an Existing Floor in Centennial, CO
Yes, new hardwood can be added to an existing hardwood floor so it looks like one continuous floor. We remove boards in a staggered pattern along the edge and weave new boards in, instead of stopping at a straight seam. Then the whole area is sanded and finished together, so the old and new wood take the same color.
When homeowners need it
- A wall was removed and there is a gap where it stood
- A room, hallway or closet is being added to an open floor plan
- Carpet in one room is being replaced with hardwood to match the rest of the house
- A section was damaged by water, pets or a leak and has to be replaced
- A kitchen island or cabinets were moved and left a bare spot
How we do it
- We identify the species, board width and thickness of your existing floor
- We source new boards to match as closely as possible
- Old boards are cut back in a staggered pattern so the joints do not line up
- New boards are woven in and nailed or glued like the original
- The old and new areas are sanded and finished together, usually the whole room or the run of floor up to a natural break
An honest note about matching
We get very close, but an exact 100% match is not something any installer can promise. Older wood has aged in color, grain varies from tree to tree, and some older board widths are no longer made. Sanding and refinishing the old and new wood together is what makes the biggest difference. We will tell you during the free measurement how close we expect to get on your floor.
Water damage and insurance jobs
If the damage came from a leak or flood, we can work from your insurance company’s scope of work. We do not bill insurance directly and we are not public adjusters; you receive the insurance check and pay us as with any job. See insurance claim flooring repair.
Common questions
Can engineered hardwood be woven in?
Sometimes. It depends on whether the same product is still made and how the floor was installed (glued, nailed or floating). We check it in person.
Do you have to refinish the whole floor?
Not always the whole house, but usually the full room or area connected to the repair, so the color and sheen match. See hardwood floor refinishing.
How long does it take?
A small weave-in can be done in a day before refinishing. The finish needs time to cure; we will give you the schedule in your quote.
