Removing & replacing a damaged hardwood flooring board

[@not_today_satan_7]

The experts always make it look so easy. You give me hope

[@reallycheapfloors]

Haha thats how it goes a lot of the time!

[@_TTT__]

Beautiful! You really made it look easy and non-intimidating. Thank you Jason!

[@reallycheapfloors]

Jason is happy to help! Thank you for your kind comment!

[@drbfitk366]

Jason is a very humble man & makes that look easy b/c's very slick! All that you have to watch is his use of the circular saw and the cuts, to know this guy knows what he's doing.

[@Roman-kk1ic]

not really😂

[@Lauracharlene1]

So thankful I stumbled across you. Been wanting to replace sections for 21 years!! Thank you!

[@reallycheapfloors]

You are so welcome! 😀

[@ms_taree7335]

omg i feel so less annoyed at all the cable holes in my hardwood floors at 1am ......i will conquer ~ thanks for the video

[@berniepoirier9455]

You made it look so simple. I never thought of cutting 1/4" inboard. Very clever and thank you

[@reallycheapfloors]

You are very welcome!

[@MikeDenny-be2uz]

Going to help our son with his hard wood floors. Great information and looks easy. Thank you!

[@tangobayus]

Great stuff. I have a damaged oak floor and this told me exactly what I need to know.

[@michaelinmon522]

Something I have not seen in the other videos for board replacement is setting the saw depth. Great job.

[@Annabee399]

Yep, important to set saw depth. While repairing a couple of damaged planks; the saw went through the subfloor into my basement ceiling.

[@seanyeah9822]

So much better than the convoluted how-to sites. I knew this was how to do it, but just getting a little confirmation helps a ton. Thank you!

[@reallycheapfloors]

Glad it helped!

[@Roman-kk1ic]

that's not how you do it

[@AaronRiegel]

Thank you jason! I was set to cut the board out with an oscillating saw and I was sure that I was going to damage both opposing boards. Cutting in from the edges and then across is brilliant literally one of those brilliant moves that I never would have come up with on my own but is so practical

[@odnetnin4720]

Thanks Jason! I have a section that was water damaged. I put the floor in years ago, just wasn’t sure how to go about fixing it.

[@cmhbjborkeal7189]

Super helpful. I was worried it would be too hard. But your instructions are perfect and confidence inspiring👍

[@reallycheapfloors]

Glad it was helpful! Have a great day!

[@BigRustyJoe]

Really easy to follow tutorial! Thank you

[@joseovando5187]

Very nice this repair the flooring.

[@kingssing]

Awesome work Jason

[@jonathanpruitt7393]

Good video and thanks for muting the saw.

[@reallycheapfloors]

Thank you and you got it! Have a great day!

[@andrewgaudet9090]

You did that in literally a few minutes 👍 let's see if I have such skills 😂

[@reallycheapfloors]

It may not be a few minutes, but I am confident you can build up the skill!

[@pyrsartur3675]

Excellent! Very nicely done. Now I’m gonna go fix my floor!

[@rickherr6628]

No need to cut tongue off replacement board just the bottom of the grove off. Replacement board cut to size by cutting off the tongue side of the board and remove bottom grove. Use a nail puller or table saw to take off bottom grove.

[@maha77]

this looks easier than I thought, thanks!

[@xviper84]

Great video. Thanks for the expertise brother!

[@christinapalmer5405]

Thanks for helping me out!

Happy to help! 😀

[@VictoriaPorscheGuy]

Super helpful thanks man

[@sannelambert579]

That was awesome. Thanks very much!

[@adrikoko9705]

I liked all the cuts you did. However, the video is not showing how you cut the board across on both edges. Did you use a different tool for that? Thank you!

[@kraptastic333]

Is this a tn or ky accent? Sounds like someone i knew. Thanks for the video.

[@songvector]

beautiful! thanks!

[@ZNRTv]

Could this also be accomplished by using an oscillating multitool rather than a circular saw?

[@reallycheapfloors]

Yes, but some solid hickory may make the task longer than you'd like.

[@RobertMorrison70]

If I need to sand the entire floor AND replace pieces, do you sand the whole thing first? or replace first then sand?

[@clemkonan]

Hello Jason after 15 years my floor is gapping across the entire width and at the floor trim it has gapped so that a few planks are exposed close to half inch. Can I label the boards take up the floor and reinstall it and what tools would I need. Thanks for your time.

[@sa7828]

Thank you, sir.

[@pamgeraci9656]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise. How can I fill gaps in my bamboo flooring?

[@Roman-kk1ic]

bamboo flooring is garbage, never install bamboo

[@slippinslidewayz]

I need to do this to a hardwood floor with no subfloor. Will 2 tiny spots of glue on the joists and 4 finish nails suffice to hold it, or should I span a few joists to give more surface adhesion and nailing strength?

[@zmaninpgh]

Hey thanks for sharing your trade secret. Lol I have a house that was built in like 1964 pine hardwood floors each plank is about 2 1/4 2 1/2 inches. I wonder if I will be hard for me to find a couple pieces. I have two really bad pieces that are broke all the way through. One in two different rooms.

[@justinjohnson8551]

what happened did you find a couple of pieces?

[@zmaninpgh]

@@justinjohnson8551 The hardwood floors are gonna be about $6000 to refinish. So I went with carpet and the carpet place that also does hardwood floor and gave me a piece of oak flooring that’s big enough for the patches I need. Thanks for asking

[@alienproductions9948]

Great video. Could you tell me what brand of putty was used to putty the nail holes, please?

[@anordenpeach]

I need to replace a small section - bit smaller than that in the video. Can I use a jigsaw to removed the rotted board?

[@joelombrdo]

On the replacement piece how did you cut yhe Tyne and groove off?

[@queentel983]

I was wondering if the process is the same for about a 3×5 area?? Is there anything you would do differently?? I know this might seem like a stupid question but I'm not construction literate LOL

[@megadawg342]

Ok,.. I think I can do that. Got the tools, got the talent(God willing?), so... here I go.

[@SMFLEIS]

Just wondering what you would do if you were doing it on a floating floor and there was concrete underneath the floor

[@tedcook1032]

It depends on if the boards are click together, or glued. With click you have to start at one side and uninstall the floor until you get to the board that needs replaced. A glued board is a bit more of a challenge, as you will need to acquire a router bit the size of the groove side. After routing out the glue, re-install the new board.

[@billknight964]

You did not show cutting the old board ends??? I looked for that, but did not see. That is the hardest part.

[@johnunderwood3132]

I was hoping it was an original floor. I have to find the floor joists and split the difference. I have a 1’x 3’ vent that was covered. And I am doing the floors over and replacing that vent with old flooring to match up

[@jason4522]

Do you come to south west VA?

[@MM-rr1kp]

I am replacing a few pieces, have a question- you nail only one side why?

[@GAIALIFE842]

I made a scratch today while moving a refrigerator I was painting in this house and I needed to paint behind the fridge and this is what happened a scratch on the hardwood floor I’m gonna fix it I know I can do it

Super easy when not glued down 😂

[@reallycheapfloors]

Glue does make it tough!

[@not_today_satan_7]

How much would that cost

[@tedcook1032]

Tammy, it just depends on who you can find to fix it. A professional installer might charge $25 a board.

[@not_today_satan_7]

@@tedcook1032 thanks. Im renting a house with hwf and ofcourse the dishwasher leaked on to the hwf 😤

[@BaileyPionus]

What about a board that needs to be replaced that is next to a wall

[@jasoncook8546]

If it is to close to the wall for a saw you might have to chisel it out

[@MM-rr1kp]

get your self a small power multitool with the flat blade and make a series of plunge cuts might work. have a steady hand

[@Roman-kk1ic]

Wow what a noob, don't do that people, I got a feeling I'm quite an expert and should get a new business going I've saved 2.5 million $ home before it went on sale replacing 10 boxes properly (looked brand new, leveled and no finish nails) and recently fixed another mansion replacing 18 boxes (approximately 20 Sq ft per box)

[@GarbitchWeeb]

Well that was easier that I thought it would be.
