How can I determine if my hardwood floor needs repair or refinishing?

Assess surface scratches, discoloration, or deep gouges; minor issues may need refinishing, while significant damage might require repair or replacement.

Repairs typically involve matching existing wood species, stains, and finishes, using patching, filling, or replacement of damaged sections.
