Van7336055 on Jul 13, 2016Not easy to be done.. I have done this several times , as a specialist in floring . If possible you need to take out a big part of the floor but you also need new and the same planks .... It is taking more time to explain everything hereHelpful Reply

William on Jul 13, 2016I have patched many floors when I worked as a remodeler/ handyman. I would look in closets for matching flooring and remove what I needed for the patch. If none was available, I'd buy similar unfinished flooring at the big box store. The process I used is called weaving the new flooring into the old to create an unnoticeable patch. Here are some examples: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/video/0,,1631521,00.html, http://www.oldtownhome.com/2012/6/29/Creating-Our-Home-Office-Part-2-Repairing-and-Refinishing-Our-Wood-Floor/, http://www.ronhazelton.com/projects/how_to_patch_a_wood_floorHelpful Reply

Stukin on Jul 13, 2016Have a flooring guy come in and "weave" the new floor into the old. It's easy and fast if you know what you're doing. Then, stain to match, and you'll never see the difference between the new and the old. It's the least expensive way to go if you get an experienced flooring guy.Helpful Reply

Cheryl Gyles on Jul 13, 2016I agree with others who have recommended using it as an accent piece, by using stain or some kind of inlay. You don't have to rip apart the whole floor, and it will give your room some extra "character".Helpful Reply

Pat on Jul 13, 2016So I would just go with it..,maybe do a tile inlay, or even stain the wood differently, perhaps a red wash instead of paint or stain. Weaving is going to cost a lot.Helpful Reply

Carol on Jul 14, 2016Either have someone weave the flooring or if you go with the patch as an accent, have a professional insert the "trim", the same distance from the wall around the room. I removed a closet and had no flooring there. It was in the hall so I had a professional ran a board perpendicular to the existing floor in line with the top of our stair and fill in the missing floor. The man who did it asked if he could use "my solutions" when he had another problem like ours. It turned out great.Helpful Reply

Stukin on Jul 14, 2016My flooring guy was able to weave about 20-feet in well under an hour. Brasilians work fast and cheap and do an amazing job. Even with the sanding, staining and poly, the whole job cost about $650 including materials (white oak.)Helpful Reply
