Flooring Repair

Hardwood Flooring Repair

  • Remove all furniture, window treatments and rugs. Cover vents and electrical boxes with painter's tape to prevent dust from getting into ducts and electrical work.

  • Check the floor for larger holes or cracks and repair using wood filler and a spackle knife.

    If floors are heavily damaged we us trowel filler, a thinner wood filler that spreads and covers large areas.

  • Sanding the floor with a drum sander using a variety of 40,60,80,120 grit paper best suited for the project.

  • Cleaning all walls and floor from left over debris and dust.

    Mixing a solution to spray on floor that allows evenly penetration for sealer or stain allowing it to dry for 30 minutes.

  • If you want to change the color of the wood, add a stain. Pick an oil-based stain in the color of your choice.

  • After the stain is dry or if you are skipping stain, we finish by sealing the floor.

    Sealing protects the floor from water damage, dings and scratches and adds luster and shine to bring out the beauty of the wood.

Laminate Flooring Repair

  • Common reasons for laminate flooring repair include water damage, improper installation, or changes in humidity.

  • identifying the extent of the damage. If only a small section is affected, we might be able to fix it without replacing any planks. For larger areas or severe damage, replacement may be necessary.

  • Removing the baseboards along the affected area. This will give better access to the edges of the laminate.

  • Lift the damaged laminate planks using a putty knife or any thin, flat tool. We're always cautious not to damage the surrounding planks during this process.

  • Checking the subfloor for any signs of damage or moisture. Addressing the underlying issue is crucial to prevent future problems. If there's water damage, we ensure the area is thoroughly dry before proceeding.

  • If the laminate is beyond repair, we carefully remove and replace the damaged planks following the manufacturer's guidelines.

  • We apply a small amount of wood glue to the edges of the lifted planks and gently press them back into place using a tapping block and hammer to ensure a snug fit.

  • Using a floor roller to weigh down the repaired section to ensure a secure bond while the glue dries.

  • If water damage is the culprit, we use caulk or a suitable sealant to fill any gaps along the edges of the laminate. This will help prevent future moisture-related issues.

Carpet Repair

  • We mark around the damaged area and separate the carpet fibers.

  • Using a cushion back cutter, we use caution not to cut the fibers of the carpet, only the backing, then we remove the damaged piece.

    if the carpet pad is damaged we remove and replace.

  • We Determine which direction the new piece should fit. On most carpets (excluding some low-pile styles), the carpet fibers run in one direction.

  • We begin by putting the carpet pad in place, then test the size of the piece to assure a snug fit that has no gaps.

  • Using a star wheel carpet seam roller to blend the fibers along the seam.

Tile Repair

  • Inspect the broken tile to determine the extent of the damage and decide which repair method is most suitable.

    If the tile is cracked, chipped, or has small missing pieces, we can likely repair it without fully replacing it. However, if the damage is extensive or affects the structural integrity of the tile, replacement may be necessary.

  • Before repairing the broken tile, we make sure the damaged area is clean and free of debris by using a cloth or brush to remove any dirt or loose pieces from the affected area.

    For minor scratches, we use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the scratch and the surrounding area.

  • Based on the type of damage, we choose the appropriate repair methods for chips, cracks, or missing pieces in next steps.

  • Following the manufactures instructions we carefully apply the adhesive to the damaged area, filling in any gaps or missing pieces to create a smooth, even surface. Use painter’s tape to secure any cracked pieces in place while the adhesive cures, if necessary.

  • Once the adhesive is applied, we remove any excess adhesive, ensuring the repaired area is level with the rest of the tile.

    Allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended time stated by the manufacturer.

  • If the repaired area doesn’t match the rest of the tile, we may need to paint it to blend in.

  • If the repair involved the tile’s grouted edges, we might need to reapply grout to those areas.

  • To protect the repaired area and surrounding grout from future damage, we like to apply a grout sealer once the grout has fully cured. This will help prevent moisture absorption and staining.

  • Once the adhesive, paint, and grout (if applicable) have dried, we clean the repaired tile to remove any residue and Buff the repaired area for a polished finish.
