"I highly recommend Monteros Hardwood Flooring. They refinished the hardwood floors at our Redlands home and they look new and we are extremely happy with the results. Javier communicated regularly throughout the project. His team is professional, efficient and very prompt and the work was finished in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the results and we highly recommend them."
Hardwood Floor Repair in Fontana
Water damage, scratches, squeaks, and gouges - repaired so the patch is invisible.
Floor Repair in Fontana, CA
Floor repairs in Fontana usually trace back to one of three causes: a leak, a settling subfloor, or wear from years of family life. Heavy mix of 2000s and 2010s builder homes (1,800 – 4,500 sq ft) with two stories and slab subfloors, so we know what to expect under the boards.
Our shop in San Bernardino is about 18 minutes from Fontana. Close enough for fast service calls, established enough that we know the neighborhoods, the building stock, and the local building department. We've been repairing hardwood and luxury flooring across San Bernardino County for over 20 years.

About Fontana Homes
Fontana's North End and Sierra Lakes communities have been booming since the early 2000s, with thousands of large two-story homes that came with builder-grade carpet over plywood. Owners are tearing it out and going hardwood or LVP - that's most of what we install in Fontana.
Housing profile: Heavy mix of 2000s and 2010s builder homes (1,800 – 4,500 sq ft) with two stories and slab subfloors. Older central Fontana has 1950s ranches with original oak strip floors waiting under carpet.
Our Floor Repair Process in Fontana
Same predictable steps on every job, from first measurement to final walk-through.
- 01
Diagnose the cause
A leak, a settling subfloor, a missed nail - we find the why before fixing the what.
- 02
Source matching boards
We pull from local distributors to match species, grade, and width.
- 03
Cut out, patch in
Damaged boards removed cleanly. New boards woven in with the existing pattern.
- 04
Stain match + finish
Custom-stained to blend, sealed to match surrounding sheen.
- 05
Final inspection
You shouldn't be able to find the patch from across the room. That's the bar.
Floor Repair FAQ for Fontana Homeowners
- Yes - Fontana is one of our core service cities. We work in North Fontana, Sierra Lakes, and the rest of the city weekly. Our shop is about 18 minutes away in San Bernardino, so response times are fast.
- Fontana pricing aligns with our standard Inland Empire range: $250 – $1500 per repair area. Final price depends on damage extent and matching difficulty. Free in-home estimate gives you exact numbers.
- 1 – 2 days for most repairs. Fontana permitting is generally fast - most jobs don't require a permit; the few that do (significant subfloor work) we handle for you.
- Done right, no. We match species, grade, width, and stain - and weave the patch into the existing board pattern rather than blocking it in. Stand 6 feet back, you won't spot it.
- Usually yes, if the damage is caught before mold sets in. We replace cupped or stained boards, treat the subfloor, and address the water source if needed. Severe wide-area damage may call for a refinish or partial replacement.
- Almost always. Most squeaks come from boards rubbing against each other or against subfloor nails. We diagnose from above (no ceiling work needed) and silence the squeak with screws designed to break off below the floor surface.
- Small gouges can be filled and finished. Larger areas - especially urine stains that have soaked through - need board replacement. We assess in person and quote both options.
- If damage is in 2 – 3 areas, repair. If it's widespread or the whole finish is worn out, refinish makes more sense and often costs less per square foot. We'll tell you straight which path fits.
