Hi,

The previous owner of our house remodeled a few rooms around the kitchen.

Before remodeling, old dining room had hardwood floors and the kitchen had tile floors. After remodeling, new dining room encroached at part of the kichen. They covered the new dining room with a carpet.

I want to take down the carpet, but I will end up with a dining room which is 3/4 covered with a hardwood floor and 1/4 covered with carpet over particle board.

I have no idea how to patch the floor with new hardwood so it doesn't look ugly. Some contractors say it can't be done, some say it "they will try their best" to match the floor.

Any hints?
