Floor Problems We Fix in Norfolk
In Ghent, Larchmont and Colonial Place the floors are older than anyone living on them, and the repairs show it: boards sanded thin, old radiator leaks, termite tracks, patches from a wall that came out decades ago. Matching the wood is the hard part. Heart pine has to come from reclaimed stock, because new pine looks nothing like it.
- Heart pine patches: Reclaimed boards sourced to match the color and grain of the originals.
- Old leak stains: Black marks under radiators and windows cut out and replaced.
- Remodel gaps: Flooring filled in where a wall, vent or hearth was removed.
- Flood-prone streets: Boards that got wet near the Lafayette River dried, checked and replaced if needed.
Pricing
What a hardwood repair costs in Norfolk
Repair jobs start at $750. In older Norfolk houses the cost is driven by the wood itself: reclaimed heart pine costs more than new oak, and thin boards sometimes mean finishing by hand.

Norfolk repair FAQ
How much does hardwood floor repair cost in Norfolk?
From $750. Reclaimed heart pine and hand work on thin boards are what push a quote higher, and both are listed on the estimate.
01Can you get heart pine to match a Ghent floor?
Yes. We buy reclaimed heart pine in the same width and cut it to fit, then finish it to match. New pine from a lumberyard won’t blend.
02My boards are too thin to sand again. Now what?
We replace the worst boards and use a screen and recoat on the rest, which adds finish without taking off wood.
03Do you fix floors after flooding?
Yes, once the house is dry. We check moisture in the boards and the subfloor, and replace only what didn’t recover.

"We were petrified of refinishing our 1910 oak floors in Ghent because of our delicate plaster walls and built-ins. The Coastal Floors team was fantastic. Their dustless sanding was incredibly clean—literally zero cleanup for us. The floors look magnificent."
