Floor Problems We Fix in Gloucester
Nearly every house we work on in Gloucester sits over a crawl space, and many of the floors are old wide pine. When boards cup, gap or squeak, the cause is almost always damp air below them. Replacing boards without dealing with that just buys a year or two.
- Cupped pine: Moisture below found and fixed, then boards sanded flat or replaced.
- Squeaky farmhouse floors: Boards fastened back to the joists.
- Rot near doors: Soft boards and subfloor cut out and rebuilt.
- Wide boards: Old pine patched with reclaimed stock of the same width.

Gloucester repair FAQ
How much does hardwood floor repair cost in Gloucester?
From $750. Crawl space fixes are listed separately on the quote from the board and finish work.
01Will my cupped boards flatten out?
Often, once the crawl space is dry. We wait and re-measure before sanding, because sanding cupped boards too early leaves them crowned later.
02Can you match wide old pine?
Yes, with reclaimed boards. We look for the same width and a similar age so the grain and color sit right.
03Is a squeak a sign of something serious?
Usually it’s just a loose board. A squeak along with a soft or bouncy spot is worth a look underneath.
