If you've got hardwoods in North Carolina, you know what summer does to them.

Here's the flip side. This time of year, the air dries out and the boards shrink. That's when the gaps show up.

Summer swells them. Fall and winter shrink them. Either way, it comes back to humidity. Get it under control in your crawl space and in your house, and your floors won't move too much.

Noticing gaps between boards or edges starting to lift? Send us a photo. We'll help you figure out if it's normal seasonal movement or something worth fixing.

Matched the species and the patch still stands out? Check the grade. That's tip 3 for matching hardwood floors.

Grade comes down to how much character is in the wood. More knots and more color variation? Lower grade. A lot of uniformity? Higher grade. The scale runs all the way from character grade to clear.

Here in North Carolina, the most common floor we see is red oak, most likely #1 or #2 Common.

Matching hardwood floors in your house can be complicated and stressful. Here are three tips to steer you in the right direction.

Tip 1: Find out if you've got solid wood or engineered wood.

In this home, we've got both, side by side. You can tell them apart by thickness. Engineered boards are a lot thinner. Solid hardwood is a lot thicker, typically 3/4 of an inch.

Follow along for tips 2 and 3.

Not every floor needs to be torn out.

One house, three kinds of flooring. The original hardwoods. Engineered wood that went in somewhere along the way. And carpet.

The homeowners are happy with how the engineered and the original blend. They're good with the transition. So it stays.

That means tracking down the exact same engineered product. Not something close. The same one. Then weaving it into the spots that need patching.

Where the carpet comes up, we match the original hardwood, then sand and stain to tie it in.

Keep what works. Fix what doesn't.

They thought every floor in the house had to go.

It didn't.

This home already had engineered wood blended in with the original hardwoods, and the homeowners liked how it looked. So instead of tearing it all out, we tracked down that same engineered product and wove it into the spots that needed patching. Where the carpet is coming up, we're matching the original hardwood with a sand and stain.

Same look they already loved. Way less than a full replacement.

Replacing everything isn't always the answer. Sometimes the right call is the one that saves you money.

There's a difference between a job that's done and a job that's finished.

Done is the floor sanded and coated. Finished is the furniture back where it belongs, the trim clean, the moldings right. That last five percent is where most jobs get cut short.

This one took extra work before we ever touched the finish. The main area had slight cupping, so we ran several extra passes. Once the sanding opened it up, the gaps between the planks showed dark and obvious across the whole space. We filled every one of them by hand, careful enough to keep the character in the wood instead of flattening it out.

That prep is what decides how the finish sits and how long it holds up. Skip it and you see it for years.

Most floor repairs announce themselves.

You walk in and see the patch before you see the room. Wrong grain, wrong width, a stain that never quite catches up to the rest of the floor.

The blend starts long before anyone picks up a tool.

Species. Grade. Width. We read the existing floor first, then check the end grain at the registers to confirm what we're actually matching. Oak, number one or number two, three and a quarter inch. That's the target before we order a single board.

Then the new wood sits in your house for two weeks so it settles into your home's humidity before it ever goes down.

Same species. Same grade. Same width. That's why the stain blends instead of fighting you.

Dark oak to a light finish is the hardest direction to take a floor.

This Five Points home was dark oak throughout. Heavy. Closed in. The kind of floor that makes a room feel smaller than it is.

We packed the furniture out, stored it offsite, and sanded upstairs and down.

Then we found the water damage. Old, not active, but the boards had cupped. You can sand over cupping and hope it settles. It doesn't. So we pulled those boards and replaced them before a single coat went down.

That's the part nobody sees in the after.

Refinished, dry, and every piece of furniture back where it belongs. Looks like a different house.

If you're in Five Points and your floors have been dark longer than you'd like, give us a call. We're already in the neighborhood.
