Hardwood Repairs & Flooring Installation
EXPERT FLOORING SERVICES
Flooring Repairs & Installation in Victoria
Not every flooring project is about refinishing what you already have. Sometimes a floor needs a repair after an accident or years of wear, and sometimes it's time for something new altogether. Kwatna Flooring handles both, bringing nearly 20 years of hardwood experience to repair work and new installations alike, for homeowners, renovators, and contractors throughout Victoria, the surrounding area, and the Gulf Islands.
Our Services
Repairs
We repair hardwood, laminate, and vinyl plank flooring damaged by everyday life, including:
-
Pet damage, from scratches to stains
-
Water damage from leaks, spills, or flooding
-
Dropped dishes or cookware that crack or chip flooring
-
Leaky washing machines or appliances
-
General wear and tear over time
If your existing floor is old or discontinued, our salvage network often makes it possible to find a close match rather than replacing the whole floor.
Installation
We install new flooring using the method that's the right fit for your space:
-
Floating installation, where planks click together and rest on top of the subfloor without being nailed or glued down
-
Glue-down installation, where flooring is adhered directly to the subfloor for extra stability
-
Nail-down installation, the traditional method used for solid hardwood
-
Prefinished hardwood, ready to walk on as soon as it's installed
-
Unfinished hardwood, installed and then sanded and finished on site for a fully custom look
We install laminate and vinyl plank flooring as well, a great option for renovations, new homes, and high-traffic areas that need a durable, low-maintenance surface.

Our Process
Repairs
-
Call Hank. Tell us what happened and what you're seeing, whether it's a stain, a scratch, or a section of damaged flooring.
-
Get a Quote. Hank will walk you through next steps and give you an idea of cost based on the type and extent of the damage.
-
On-Site Repair. We come out, complete the repair, and match the surrounding flooring as closely as possible.
Timelines for repairs vary depending on the size and type of damage, and work is billed hourly.
Installation
-
Consultation & Quote. We'll talk through the space, the flooring type you're considering, and the installation method that makes sense for your project.
-
Materials. For laminate and vinyl plank, you'll source the materials and we'll handle the install. For hardwood, we can supply materials directly or help you source them if needed.
-
Installation. We install using floating, glue-down, or nail-down methods, whichever fits your subfloor and flooring type.
-
Finishing (if needed). If you've chosen unfinished hardwood, we sand and finish it on site once installation is complete.
Timeline & Pricing
Repairs are billed hourly, with timelines depending on the extent of the damage. Installation is priced by square foot, and the timeline depends on the size of the space, the flooring type, and whether finishing work is included. Hank will always walk you through cost and timeline expectations before any work begins.
For Contractors
If you're a contractor working with a homeowner who thinks their floor needs to be replaced, it's worth a second look first. Many floors that seem beyond saving can actually be refinished rather than replaced, which can save your client time and is less of a hassle. Not only that, but refinishing often lasts longer and is better quality than new products. We're always happy to take a look and give an honest opinion before a full installation is the only option on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match my existing flooring if it's discontinued?
Often, yes. We work with a salvage network that helps us track down close matches for older or discontinued hardwood.
What's the difference between floating, glue-down, and nail-down installation?
Floating flooring clicks together and sits on top of the subfloor. Glue-down flooring is adhered directly to the subfloor. Nail-down is the traditional method used for solid hardwood. Hank can help you figure out which one is right for your space.
Do I need to supply the flooring myself?
For laminate and vinyl plank, yes, you'll need to source and provide the material. For hardwood, we can supply it directly or help you find the right product.
How long does a repair take?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Small repairs might take a few hours, while larger repairs take longer. We'll give you a clearer timeline once we've seen the damage in person.
