Michael Petruccelli says; A home inspector will note any damage
to components (doors, floors, weather stripping, screens) if it
affects the overall function of any system within the home.
Luckily, scratches on hardwood floors (or the cabinet
door where you keep Fido’s treats) can easily be fixed with a good sanding and finish, but the damage, if left
untreated, can completely draw attention away from the
beautiful wood features in your home.
