Hardwood Floor Repair in Mathews, VA
With water around almost every house in Mathews, floor repair is mostly moisture repair. We find where the damp is coming from, then replace and refinish the boards it damaged.

Floor Problems We Fix in Mathews
Houses here sit on piers or low crawl spaces, close to tidal water, and plenty of them are closed up for weeks at a time. That is hard on wood. Boards swell, cup and sometimes rot at the ends. We’d rather tell you to run a dehumidifier for a month than replace boards that will just swell again.
- Closed-up houses: Swollen or cupped boards in weekend homes dried and repaired.
- Storm water: Flooded ground floors assessed board by board.
- Pier foundations: Loose and drafty floors tightened from below.
- Rotted ends: Boards by doors and porches replaced with matching wood.

Mathews repair FAQ
How much does hardwood floor repair cost in Mathews?
From $750. Drying time is the wild card, and it is written into the quote instead of guessed at.
01My weekend house floor swelled while we were away. What now?
Get a dehumidifier running and call us. Many boards settle back down. We replace the ones that stay cupped or have split.
02Can you work while we’re not there?
Yes. Most second-home repairs can be done with the owner away, and we can send photos of the work.
03Should I replace flood-prone hardwood with something else?
On a ground floor that takes water more than once, a waterproof floor is worth considering. We’ll price both.
