Frequently asked questions

Does NailIt include labor or contractor costs?

No. NailIt calculates materials only. Since you're doing the work yourself, we show only what you'll spend on supplies—no labor or installation fees.

What's included in a typical hardwood floor repair estimate?

Materials for cleaning, filling gouges or gaps, sanding, staining to match, and sealing with polyurethane. Costs vary by repair size and wood type.

Can I use NailIt for large floor replacement instead of repair?

NailIt is designed for spot repairs and small sections. For full-floor replacement, consult a flooring specialist or use a separate materials calculator for bulk hardwood pricing.
