"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."

How a Project Starts
Every floor repair project starts the same way - a free, in-home walk-through where we measure, talk through species and finish, and answer every question you have. No rushed quotes, no high-pressure sales script. The estimate you sign is the price you pay.
Why Inland Empire Homes Choose Us
Hot, dry summers and cool, damp winters chew through cheaply installed floors. We acclimate every board on-site, moisture-test the subfloor, and choose the right adhesive or fastener pattern for the climate - the kind of detail that separates a floor that lasts decades from one that cups, gaps, or peaks in two summers.
The Same Crew, Every Time
Whether you're matching a 1950's parquet, fitting wide-plank European oak, or putting waterproof LVP into a busy family kitchen, the same crew shows up with the same standards. That consistency is why we still get calls from customers we worked for fifteen years ago.
Built Around Your Schedule
We give you a real start date, a real finish date, and the crew lead's direct line. No mystery delays, no subcontractor handoffs. If something changes, you hear it from us first.
Our Floor Repair Process
Every project follows the same clear, predictable steps from estimate to 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
- 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.
