Wood Flooring

Wood floors need regular care and the occasional repair to stay beautiful. This section covers cleaning and stain removal, fixing squeaks and water damage, refinishing, and installation.

Cleaning & stains: water stains, pet stains, deep cleaning, and tape residue.

Repairs: squeaky floors and swollen, water-damaged boards.

Refinishing: renew without sanding, full refinishing, and change floor color.

Installation: install wood flooring and flooring adhesive.

For choosing between flooring types, see our wood flooring guide.

How do you fix squeaky wood floors? Locate the joist, then secure the loose board with screws from below or a squeak-repair kit from above.

Can you refinish wood floors without sanding? Yes — a screen-and-recoat or no-sand kit refreshes a worn finish when the wood itself is sound.
