Looking for someone to replace some wood flooring

[jane032657]

Looking for someone who can lift up different parts of a scratched wood floor and replace it with new engineered pieces of same flooring. Any suggestions? It's a small job, about 500 sq ft or so. Thank you.

If this is the typical "pergo" style flooring, I always had to remove from the bad section all the way back to the closest wall, replace the bad section, and then replace the rest of the flooring. I never found a way to just replace section in the middle.
I hope you find a solution, but I would be real careful if the vendor suggests removing one or two of the interlocking lips to install the new pieces, or using glue to install the new pieces.
This gets further complicated if the wall molding was installed over top of the flooring, as the molding then needs to be removed also.
Hope this helps.

Yes thank you. It does have to be removed from the wall in, it is engineered Brazilian pecan wood. Very difficult finding someone to do just this-one person sent me a name which I will follow up with but would like some more.

If this is engineered floor isn't it glued down? also I thought you could refinish engineered floors like hardwood???

Not sure if floating or glued. Was told this wood could not be refinished. I don't know much obviously except I need help to get the new replacement flooring switched out. We bought the house new and had work done while we lived in Seattle and the house was empty. Pulled all the new carpet out and had the wood put in. No idea how they did it. Looks great, the dogs scratched it in a few places so just trying to keep it nice.
