Wow! I just used bar keepers friend & made a paste. Rubbed along the grain with a white cloth. Took forever and had to do it over and over, but it completely went away. Not almost, completely. Finished with some wood oil; like for a chopping block. Didn’t even damage the grain.
Hey Handyman im a contractor/ handyman here in NY. The the only thing I would have done different was to use a golden oak stain to better blend the color with surrounding floor . It would take away the white look when you look at it on an angle. I just did a similar repair and did it the way you did in video but homeowner said it looked too white I then reminded the spot and hit it with the golden oak stain and now you can't even see the spot anymore. The homeowner was completely happy. Try it next time you have something like this and let me know what you think.
@@handymaninside Can you help me pick out a stain? I have the same issue as the video, burn mark on the floor. Already sanded, just need help matching it.

LOL. Before your jobs are started, I like to guess how you are going to fix it. I was dreading the job I had envisioned for you. Great choice, the way you went with it.
Alosnwant to tell you I picked up those $1 multitool blades from Amazon. They have been working great so far and I did cry so much when I hit the plaster wall behind a piece of wood I was cutting out. Thanks for the tip in those blades.
7:02 - "Jeez..have enough nails?" 7:30 - **uses exactly the same number of nails** Haha, but seriously, small pro-tip: I've found 'end cutting pliers' or 'end nippers' work really well for getting a grip on those little trim nails, and you can usually 'roll' them out without damaging the surface, especially if you can bite very low on the nail. Try it next time! Also, I'm surprised you didn't use a removable attachment method like screws - isn't the tenant just going to rip the board off again next month? Finally, really nice job on the floor. It's still visible, but only if you know where to look. Plus, the poly will yellow over time and by next year you probably won't even be able to find where it was. Beautiful work!
I have rubbed down new poly on a floor fix with a bath hand towel or similar to blend any ridge and take the shine down, just needs alot of rubbing or you can let your kids play on that spot, even more effective. Great job, fantastic job, very well done, be proud!
The floor repair still appeared slightly different in color to me-I would have used a light colored oak stain. Not complaining tho-you seem to be quality minded in carrying out your work- real important when doing work as a handyman
Nice repair , looks like it turned out good. Have you done this type of repair before ? Off topic a bit ... about 35 yrs ago , while doing a short stint of liquor delivery, I was at an apartment that this burn reminded me of ....but the floor was ( thin foam backed ) carpet . And the burn mark was not from a frying pan , but the coil element itself. The young guys in the apartment were ...hot knifing ...and managed to end up pulling the red-hot element off of the stove . No way of fixing THAT burn . But here's the serious CRINGE part , as I was standing there , another guy comes in ( the bottle of Rum was for him ) . and to my shock , I quickly realized that before the element hit the floor ... it made solid contact with the whole right side of his face/cheek. Absolutely no question what burned/branded him , as perfect imprint of that red-hot coil on his cheek I can't possibly imagine how painful that was . And thinking that is very likely a scar that he will have for the rest of his life . Anyway , back to the video ... Handlyman ... those LED lites are grea t ( energy efficent bla bla bla ) , but no bulb for the owner to change , so you"ll make money again , changing it to another new one ....well in about 25,000 hrs :-) thanks Bob from Calgary
Might be missing something here but why did you use the tape? I think I would have feathered it in more. Is it because the poly wouldn’t have adhered correctly if you went over top of some of the old ? Great stuff, thanks.
Hi Mr Handyman I have two small burnt areas on my wood floor. Both were from cigarettes. How is best way to fix this problem . Like they are small. Thanks
I never recommend a "handy man" over a professional. But you are a very talented guy. This is the second video I have watched of yours and as much as I think you do it the harder way, the end results are about the same and you can not argue with that. Nice work. My notes would be: -Did you match the finish? Because if you used water based on a oil based floor it will never match. That floor actually looks lightly stained by how dark the grain is as well. -When you do the final on that, you should have took the tape and put it one more board out on either side and all the way across the gap, from cabinet to the other. Then lightly sanded with 220 using a palm sander. Then it would have blended much better. But you do real good work for not being a specific job guy. If you do not mind me asking, how much do you charge for small repairs like this?
Try to wear knee pads, I never did before then I paid the price, both of my knees have issues, the last two years been wearing knee pads and I am 60 now. be safe out there.
This might be a stupid question, but I've noticed that while I'm sanding either electric or by hand, a dark mark will appear. Not on all of my projects but what is that and how can I prevent it from happening or fix it.
Mr. Handyman one tip too faux finish antique wood. Get a smoke gray paint wipe on a very light coat to were you can't even see it but know it's covered. Do this after second coat of clear add the third coat and it will instantly look 50 years old.
Hey Bossman..question, I have a burn like this in my pergo flooring(not real oak wood)...any ideas how to get it out or covered up nicely? I will send in a pic if you want to see it...THANKS!
Nice job! May I know how much does the repair of the burn mark cost? I got one on the counter! and I am also curious about how long it takes you to fix that.
Is this safe to do on your own? I have got some burn holes to get rid of myself. The burns are much smaller than the one you did your work on. I need a sander and polyurethane oil/Gloss? Do you suggest a specific sander in regard to brand?
If they are smaller you cold hand sand them with sand paper. Gloss depends on what you already have. Oil vs water depends on what you already have. You want to match it up. You can't make it any worse or permanently ruin the floor. Easy DIY project.
Great job, looks great. I'll bet if you didn't know the repair was done you wouldn't even notice it. Just one suggestion for removing nails, my boss and I use vise grip bulldog pliers. They're basically a claw, where both jaws are rounded with a straight edge where the jaws meet. I wish I could remember the correct name of the tool but I can't, sorry. They work fantastic and rarely break the nails when pulling them through or out of the board. Just a suggestion, hope I didn't overstep the bounds of a subscriber..... anyway, I love your videos, you always have some great information! Thanks!!
A lot of people have been interested in what I charge for certain things. Then they freak out when I tell them. I though I would just write it on the board instead of discussing it and getting yelled at.
Great repair! One of the advantages of a wooden floor over laminate...... I've also seen frying pan burn marks on another rental property floor. How do you charge the customer for materials when you only need about 8 to 16 oz of poly urethane??? Curious?
Mr. Handyman, Have you ever dealt with cat pee on hardwood floors? Is there any product that permanently gets rid of it? Most of the products for that purpose are just temporary and eventually the pee smell returns. 😿
there needs to be quieter pancake compressor options, Mine startles me every time and cant sit in the room with it. I thought about this company i saw california air that makes a 60 decibel compressor but still looking.
The company is quite air, I have a six gallon compressor from husky that was made by them. It was branded by husky to sell retail, and test marketed in my area. No one believes me when I told them how quite it is! Not only can you have a normal conversation in the same room, but you can hear yourself think!! They are expensive, but worth every penny. I have had offers to buy it off me, but I would never sell it....at least until I get a cordless nailer. I love that comperssor, and so does my boss!
I have the same vaccuum and random orbital sander, but I can't connect the vaccuum to the sander, did you buy a new hose with an extension? (I can't tell if you're trolling me or not)
I did a floor lots of spotting that needed sanding. Was customer rental and did not want full floor sand down. So light sanding over hole floor and heavy on spots like this job you did. Had the same thing you have a lighter color than the rest of the floor. So since then, I have found that you can tint the poly a bit to compensate for the color difference. Transtint dyes which can be bought or ordered through www.woodcraft.com.Tinting poly is tricky but possible.The best way to do it is with tints, not stains. Adding stain to your poly can easily create a delamination problem because the carriers in the stain compromise the urethane.I use transtint dyes which can be bought or ordered through www.woodcraft.com. This is from a floor finish company. You can add a lot of color to a urethane this way without compromising the urethane. Also, tinting is not easy as too heavy of a tint can make the finish appear streaky.I sometimes tint the poly heavily but still apply a fairly thin coat.And usually, multiple coats are needed to get the right effect. I rarely would try to get a lot of color out of just one coat.
Why do you guys still use a compressor to nail with still,when uve got the hassle of lugging around and setting it up,compared to a paslode nail gun or dewalt 18v would match your kit👍🏻

Hi, Handyman great job!

That looks fantastic...really didn't expect it to turn out that good. Color me surprised!

Might be missing something here but why did you use the tape? I think I would have feathered it in more. Is it because the poly wouldn’t have adhered correctly if you went over top of some of the old ? Great stuff, thanks.
Polly doesn't "feather" well Its a build up above the wood. I put the tape to create a natural line at the seam of the boards.
Awesome fix- reminds me of doing paint corrections on cars.
Hi
what is the name of the little tool you used
Im having a very tiny circle which was burned and I really need this tool to fix it

Try to wear knee pads, I never did before then I paid the price, both of my knees have issues, the last two years been wearing knee pads and I am 60 now. be safe out there.
i thought they were so that your knees dont get scratched up?
Geoff Li no it’s more so you don’t wear out the knees. My father approves of this statement he never wore knee pads and now has issues.
What is the white milky finish you put on the floor after sanding to finish it?
I feel like you just doubled the amount of nails that were in there 🤣
Paper plates :) Smaller, cheaper, and perfect as a replacement for paint roller trays when doing these types of jobs.
What was the solution you put on the wood?
hye. can i know ehat is the name of the liquid for coating. the one in white bottle.

I made a little mark with a hot pan on my wood table, Is it possible to remove it just with wood stain or gel? Can you suggest a product?

Looks pretty good. I think a spray oil based poly would have matched the color better and been just about as fast.

He doesnt charge by hour
He charges by job depending on area he is working
What is he putting on the floor after he sands it? @ 5:28 of the video.
This works if you've got the same varnish / lacquer that was used originally on the floor.
Otherwise, the wood will show a different colour.

I've seen you lug around that air hose for your nailer. I'm guessing a Passload or a Dewalt cordless nailer. Both are great. But- frame or finish???
the pot is hot, quick put it on the wood floor, cork pot coasters are $2.
Water-based polyurethane on a floor, specifically a kitchen floor. I guess they don't spill water or mop with cleaners mixed with water.
