Not going to argue.

I do feel bad about the flooring. A life long story about that dang washing machine will help ya get over the extra work.

Edit: I carry State certifications for fire and water damage, mold and asbestos abatement, and have records, pictures, and references to this. I hold all of my work to the highest standards. My tools, attire, and "attitude" are always professional. My answering of any question pertaining to subjects that I am skilled in has never been disproven. I take great pride in what my hands can do.

I guess that I missed the point of what the OP wanted/needed. If the OP wishes, I am more than willing to give the OP a "professional" quote for the job stated. Until that time, all preceding replies that I may have or have not given are not/were not meant in a professional manner.

Well, you could always flood the rest of the room and make the rest of the boards match those already stained.

Once you've met Noah, dry the floor and then use that dehumidifier. Hey, it's just an idea.

At least it'll all match in that room,

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?

My Uncle Frank was a staunch Conservative and voted straight Republican until the day he died in Chicago. Since then he has voted Democrat. Shrug

Right now it doesn't look all that bad, dry it out as best you can and see just how bad it looks, remember it is getting covered up by the washer in the end. Also remember no 2 peace's of wood flooring are exactly the same color, there are variation in the undamaged wood that I see in the picture. You don't think they are all going to look exactly alike do you even if they are changed and finished.

If you do have to cut it out take one of the shorter section and sacrifice it and cut it in the middle with a circular saw avoiding damaging the lips of ether edge cut the long way with the grain, make several cuts they will allow you enough room to hopefully pull the staples out without damaging the lips on the adjoining boards so you can salvage as much as possible that wasn't damaged by the water. Just remember to set you circular saw to the depth of the board only so as not to damage what's under the board, set the front of the shoe of the saw on the floor first, start the saw and lower the back end of the saw slowly to make the first plug and then move on. Check a YouTube video on how to do a plunge cut into a board and you with see what I was talking about.

If you can understand that you are doing better than me because I am not sure I do and I wrote it.
