Scratched hardwood floors in historic properties possess character and richness. Yet when your hardwood floors are scratched, you might find yourself less enamored with the look. 

Residential solid hardwood or engineered wood floors are often scratched in glaringly obvious ways. Prominent dog claw marks, gouges from furniture legs, and hairline scratches can stand out against otherwise flawless wood

Procedure:

• Apply Wood Filler. Prepare wood filler for the scratch
• Let Filler Dry. Let the filler dry for at least two hours
• Finalize the Filler. After the wood filler has dried, sand it down by hand
• Stain the Filled Crack. Tint the cured filler with wood stain or a stain pen to match the flooring's color
