Q:
There is a big gap in our hardwood floor. What can I do?
A:
You can fill the gap with putty, but if it’s too big, you’ll have to replace it. A good rule of thumb is about one-quarter of an inch. Bigger than that, replace. Smaller than that, fill. If you have to replace it, make sure to use a certified professional.
Previous Question: The hardwood floor that we just refinished is starting to peel, bubble and blister. What’s going on?
Next Question: We dropped a really heavy metal chest on our hardwood floor and there’s a dent in the floor. Can we fix the dent without replacing the whole floor?
