Thinking about replacing a portion of a red oak floor. This would be dining room, hallway to bathroom and two bedrooms. Had this area sanded and refinished. Contractor messed up, so need to replace entire floor in this area. Another floor finisher has said he can do this so it will “Blend” into the red oak floors in the two bedrooms. Is replacing this portion a feasible undertaking?

gilda;
It can be done but requires alot of work in "tying" in the areas. Trying to match new with existing is awfully hard to do considering the aging process wood goes through.

Ken,
Thanks for the information. I am now thinking I may be better off cutting across the boards at the door and laying a three of four inch piece of oak as a transition. Any advice on this?
