It appears to be a Lam flooring of which the only choice you have is to remove and replace the piece, hopefully your installer left the remaining excess. If you need to purchase matching NEW the chances are that it wont match, color consistency changes with manufacture lots, you have to decide on if the damage is more conspicuous than a mismatched replacement. Good Luck
The best solution for this problem is to cut through the board and take it out without damaging the neighboring boards. Find a matching flooring piece (if possible), trim the tongue edge and slide it in place. Make sure to use a good adhesive or drill for fine nails and fill the holes. Other solutions will be noticeable if that is something the owner doesnât mind dealing with.
Good Luck.
Hello. Since the contractor recommended replacing the entire floor, I am going to assume that you do not have any extra peices to replace the damaged with. There are couple of things to consider before investing in a new floor: 1.The age and condition of the rest of the floor, 2.The budget for the repair, 3.The type of floor, whether it is engineered or solid hardwood. In my professional opinion, the only way for the floor to be 100%, is to sand and refinish it. On the other hand, if the rest of the floor is in good condition and you feel that the damage is in an inconspicuous area, I would recommend, (as others have,) contacting either a floor or furniture repair company.
Itâs a small ding, best advice is to sand the particular area stain and stain and color it. Take the sample to depot or equivelant store and they will match the colors.
If leftover flooring is available replace just the damaged board (ensure replacement board acclamates for several days) prior to replacing, if none is available just refinish the damaged board by removing the finish and re-varnish. You may have to mix stains to come up with correct color.
Looks like a prefinished wood floor. I would agree with others to contact the manufacturer if possible and get a touch up kit, although if that finish is factory applied it may be tough to match it perfectly with products allowed for use in the home (california esp). I would consider calling a furniture finish repair company to try to fix it. We have had those guys come out when custom cabinetry is damaged and they are amazing. I had a guy drill three holes for knobs and pulls in our finished cabinet doors right at eye level and nobody could find them when they were done. Dave
It looks to be a prefinished floor. I would simply replace the plank with a new one.
The best way to take care of the problem is to replace the piece with an exact replacement. This may take removal of more than one board. If you want a recommendation for a flooring contractor look on my web site at www.brasielsconstructioncompany.com You can e-mail my company from there or call the flooring company linked to my site. This may be a little costly but it is how we handled it when I worked for residential builders. People were very particular on the walk throughs. You may also want to call a furniture repair guy. Some of them are very good at this sort of thing. Gary F Brasiel (owner of Brasielâs construction company.
NO NEED TO REPLACE FLOORING !!
That would be costly and it ruins the opportunity you have to change the look of your home.
BLEND IN the burns. Continue to drop the charcoal from your Hookah only make sure to move around throughout the wood flooring while you make the drops. Continue this until you have reached the desired effect.
Always here if you have other questions.

A true hardwood floor can be sanded to remove blemishes. However refinishing the floor is like painting a car. You might be able to match the finish but in order to make it invisible you must refinish the whole thing. However a good spot match might be a more economical choice.
If you do not have an extra board I would contact a furniture refinishing company or hardwood floor refinishing company. Ive seen them sand down and re-stain an entire board in the middle of the floor and refinish it and you couldnât tell the difference.
If you want to just repair it, you can color match those pictures to a stain at any place that sells stain. You will want to pull up a website that shows you a video of how to repair the wood stain on a do-it-yourself or how-to-do website so you can watch how it is done. You will need to sand it, and clean it, then stain it with the same type of gloss it has. It may not be perfectly the same, and you may still notice it, but nobody knows much about hardwood flooring and even if they see the difference, they wouls assume it was just some imperfection in the wood and nothing else. It surely wont look bad to where you would ever want to redo the entire room. Unless you have money falling out of your pockets and are a perfectionist like myself.
The most cost efficient solution would be to have a quality wood worker sand the area lightly, re-stain the area that has been sanded. After the stain has completely dried spray the wood sealer over the area to match the finish of the floor.If you do not have an extra board I would contact a furniture refinishing company or hardwood floor refinishing company. Ive seen them sand down and re-stain an entire board in the middle of the floor and refinish it and you couldnât tell the difference.
I would replace the damage boards. the easiest way is to cut the board about one inch from the edge with a skillsaw and then use a dremel tool to cut the remaining inch on all four sides to be able to pull the board without damage to the other boards. cleaning all remaining glue is important if it is glued down installation, if it is nail down remove all nails and put 15lbs felt paper if needed;.all depends on the type of installation the process you will do. Good news: is simple to fix, but if you do not feel confident call a flooring contractor. Good luck
you have an extra board of the original hardwood that was used for the floor its a pretty easy fix. A good carpenter can cut down the middle of the damaged board and remove it. Then he will cut the tongue off the new board and insert it into place and face nail it. The fix will be good as new.
professional. If you are a DIYâer and can live with a small difference, you could sand it down and try to re-seal it. It looks like a cherry stain but might be difficult to match it 100%. If it is pre-finished flooring, it will probably be really difficult to sand through the factory finish and find a matching seal that completely hides the blemish.
