About This Guide
Replace the bad board, not the whole floor.
Hardwood floors are resilient but not invincible. Water damage, dents from dropped tools, or gouges from pet claws sometimes need a board replacement rather than refinishing the whole floor.
This book walks: - Assessment (is it replacement or refinish?). - Board removal (without damaging adjacent boards). - Installing the new board with the tongue-cut trick. - Stain matching (the hardest part). - Feathering into surrounding finish.
