Can an existing hardwood floor be matched?

It should be possible to match it, if the existing flooring is not particularly unique. It comes down to matching the kind of stain used on the existing flooring via color matching and using varnish similar to what is on the rest of the floors. A lot depends on the shape the existing flooring is in, might be harder with older, more worn flooring. I suspect if the existing flooring is in good shape, they should be able to match it, but I think that the guy who told you you needed to do the whole thing either saw an opportunity to get you to pay for the whole thing being replaced, or didn’t want the bother of trying to match it, or both. Something similar happens with auto body repair, they are able to replace panels and color match existing paint, that has faded over time, rather than overspraying the whole car.
