Hardwood floor repair & board replacement in Manhattan
We repair hardwood in Manhattan by replacing failed boards with matched pieces, filling gaps and then sanding and finishing so the repair disappears into the floor. Gemini Floor Services is a family-owned flooring company, and you work directly with the flooring contractor from the first visit to the last room. Call (718) 690-3435.
Demo, subfloor prep & repairs for Manhattan co-ops, condos and lofts
Manhattan jobs succeed or fail on logistics: freight elevators, board paperwork and after-hours windows. Tight hallways and small apartment footprints shape crew size and staging. Lofts bring long open runs and low clearances, while prewar apartments often have original wood under years of wear. Our crews handle floor repair in apartments, co-ops, condos and lofts across the borough. Our Manhattan flooring page covers what else we do in Manhattan besides floor repair.
Board repairs in Manhattan apartments
Manhattan apartment floors collect decades of changes: a wall taken out, a radiator moved, a kitchen enlarged. Each leaves a strip of mismatched or missing wood, and those patches are some of the most common repairs we are asked to look at on a visit.
Replacement boards are matched for species, width and grade as closely as the floor allows, then woven in so the new wood does not run as one obvious seam.
Common Manhattan repairs
Patch-ins
Filling the gap left where a wall, closet or radiator used to stand.
Loose parquet
Resetting or replacing loose and missing blocks in prewar fields.
Gaps and splits
Filler for small gaps; replacement for boards that have split or broken.
Squeaks and movement
Checking fasteners and the subfloor where boards move underfoot.
Blending the repair
A repair only disappears once the floor around it is sanded and finished together, so most repairs end with a refinish of the room or the run. In an occupied co-op that means planning quiet hours and hallway protection with the building. If the damage came from a leak, the water-damage process applies instead. We have no Manhattan repair photos posted yet, so the photos here show the type of work only. See refinishing in Manhattan and our water-damaged floor repair page.

What affects the cost
Repair work depends mostly on how many boards need replacing and how easy the existing wood is to match. Access, stairs and hidden repairs under the old floor can also change the plan. If you want a first look, get an instant preliminary estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Can you patch the floor where a wall was removed?
Yes. We lace in matched boards and then refinish the area so the patch blends with the rest.
Will new boards match my old floor?
We match species, width and grade as closely as the floor allows; the refinish evens out the color.
Can you work within co-op rules?
Yes. We plan around quiet hours and supply insurance paperwork for the board.
