Why Homeowners Choose ModiFloors for Repair & Restoration

We diagnose the cause, stabilize the floor, and make repairs that blend in not just for today, but so the issue doesn’t return. We match wood species and grain, weave new boards into old patterns, and blend color and sheen so the fix disappears. Work areas stay organized and low-dust, and you get a simple plan for what happens each day.

What’s going wrong and how we solve it

Real homes have patterns. Here are the issues we see most and how we handle them so you don’t fight the same battle twice.

Squeaks and loose spots

  • What’s happening: Fasteners have loosened or the subfloor moves against joists.
  • What we do: Locate the squeak line, re-fasten from above (or below if accessible), add blocking where needed, and quiet the movement before any finish work.

Water stains and black marks

  • What’s happening: Past leaks or pet accidents changed the wood color.
  • What we do: Replace affected boards, treat nearby wood, and fix the moisture source. Then sand and blend color so the eye doesn’t stop at the repair.

Gaps and shifting seams

  • What’s happening: Seasonal humidity swings or missing tongues.
  • What we do: Stabilize humidity targets, close mechanical gaps, replace broken tongues, and weave new boards where filler won’t hold long-term.

Cupping or buckling

  • What’s happening: Moisture imbalance across the board.
  • What we do: Normalize moisture first (HVAC, airflow, leak fixes). Then flatten by sanding if the thickness allows or replace sections if the wood is stressed.

Pet scratches and deep wear

  • What’s happening: Finish is worn through; scratches cut into the wood.
  • What we do: Spot board swaps where needed, full or localized sanding, and a tougher finish system matched to how you use the room.

Pattern and stair repairs

  • What’s happening: Herringbone, parquet, or stair noses were patched poorly.
  • What we do: Custom weave to maintain pattern flow; reset nosings and treads; blend color and sheen so transitions feel original.

Seamless Repairs with
the Original Look

We start by finding the cause, from moisture, movement, or an old patch—then fix it at the source. New boards are woven into the pattern and the color is matched in your lighting, so the whole floor reads as one.

We keep dust low and the area tidy. When we’re done, the floor feels solid underfoot and nothing jumps out at you.

This company does remarkable work. I utilized them for both hardwood restoration and LVP install. They worked throughout the entire day and made quick work of it. Their salesman Igor also is by far the best and most down to earth salesman I've ever dealt with. He answered any question I had regarding stain, finish, and even made sure I didn't purchase more vinyl than I needed. Could not recommend these guys enough.

I recently had my floors done by Modifloors. The team did a great job. Isabelle was a great coordinator of the work and I appreciated the way that she kept in contact with me. The guys had to remove old peel and stick tile which had been covering my hardwood floors for 20 years. They did a phenomenal job, and I am very pleased with their work. I will be hiring them again in the future.

I bought a new house and the first floor floors were old, not in great condition and the second-floor had no floor underneath the rug. They installed new flooring on the second floor and sanded and finished the first and second floors including the stairs. They were very professional and they stuck to their timeframe.

I was in the market for a flooring company because my floors needed repair, sanding, and refinishing.
I am so happy to have found ModiFloors. First impressions and communication are golden. Igor came by the day after calling for a quote, introduced himself at the front door and removed his shoes.

Your Questions
Answered

How long will my flooring project take?

Most hardwood installations or refinishing projects are completed in just a few days. Thanks to our 4-step process, you’ll know the timeline upfront and can plan with confidence, no surprises.

Will the work disrupt my home life?

We minimize disruption with meticulous preparation and dust-containment systems. Many families stay home during refinishing because our dustless sanding and low-VOC finishes keep the air safe and the mess under control.

Can my current hardwood floors be saved instead of replaced?

Yes. One of hardwood’s biggest advantages is refinishing. Even decades-old floors can be sanded, stained, and sealed to look brand new—often at a fraction of replacement cost.

How do you ensure my floors will last for decades?

We use premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and proven techniques tailored to New Jersey & New York homes. Properly maintained, hardwood floors can last 75–100 years or more.

Are hardwood floors really healthier for my family?

Absolutely. Hardwood doesn’t trap dust, pollen, or pet dander the way carpet does, improving indoor air quality. Families with allergies or pets consistently notice a cleaner, fresher environment.

Why choose ModiFloors over other companies?

Because we deliver peace of mind. With thousands of homes transformed, a 4.8-star rating from over 217 reviews, and a clear guarantee on our workmanship, we back every project with unmatched quality, reliability, and customer care.
