"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 Riverside
Water damage, scratches, squeaks, and gouges - repaired so the patch is invisible.
Floor Repair in Riverside, CA
Floor repairs in Riverside usually trace back to one of three causes: a leak, a settling subfloor, or wear from years of family life. Wide era spread: 1900s – 1940s bungalows with original oak waiting to be revealed, 1960s ranches with raised foundations, and 2000s slab-on-grade developments in Orangecrest and Mission Grove, so we know what to expect under the boards.
Our shop in San Bernardino is about 28 minutes from Riverside. 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 Riverside County for over 20 years.

Stain match + finish

You shouldn't be able to find the patch from across the room. That's the bar.
Floor Repair FAQ for Riverside Homeowners
- Yes - Riverside is one of our core service cities. We work in Wood Streets, Mission Grove, and the rest of the city weekly. Our shop is about 28 minutes away in San Bernardino, so response times are fast.
- Riverside 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. Riverside 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.
