Most Damaged Floors Don't Need Replacing


Water damage, pet stains, cracked or gapped boards, squeaks, or the scar where a wall came out during a remodel — most hardwood problems don't need a new floor. They need the right repair, done by someone who has seen that exact problem a thousand times.

Bob Kelch Floors patches and weaves new boards into old floors so the repair disappears — matching species, board width, stain, and finish. After more than a century of Peoria hardwood, there is very little we haven't fixed.

Fastest way to a straight answer: call (309) 673-8383 and text or email us a photo of the damage — we'll tell you what it needs and what it'll cost.

Floor Repair FAQs


Can water-damaged hardwood floors be repaired?

Often, yes. Cupped or stained boards can frequently be replaced and woven into the existing floor, then the area is refinished to blend. The key is acting before moisture spreads — call (309) 673-8383 and send a photo for an honest assessment.

Can you replace just a few damaged boards instead of the whole floor?

Yes — board replacement is exactly what we do. We weave new boards into the existing floor, matching species and width, then blend the stain and finish so the repair disappears.

Why does my hardwood floor squeak, and can it be fixed?

Squeaks usually come from boards or subfloor rubbing against fasteners as humidity changes. Most can be fixed without tearing up the floor. We diagnose the cause first, then fix it at the source.

Do you repair floors after a wall removal or remodel?

Yes — patching hardwood where a wall came out is one of our most common repairs. We lace new boards into both rooms' floors and finish them as one continuous surface.
