From repairing scratched hardwood to patching up damaged carpet tiles, we cover a wide range of services that restore the beauty of your floors.

Hardwood Floor Repairs

Hardwood floors are known for their durability, but they can still suffer from damage over time. Common types of damage include scratches, dents, gouges, water damage, warping, cupping, and buckling.  The repair methods for these issues vary depending on the severity and type of damage.

Water Damage and Warping

Water damage is a significant concern for hardwood floors, particularly in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or basements. When water seeps into the wood, it can cause warping, cupping, or swelling.

• Cupping and Warping: In cases where the warping is limited to a small area, it may be possible to sand the damaged section down and apply a fresh coat of finish. In more severe cases, the affected boards may need to be replaced.
• Water Stains: Water stains can sometimes be removed using a mixture of oxalic acid, which helps bleach the stain. However, if the water damage is extensive, the affected boards may need to be replaced.

Board Replacement

In many cases, a single damaged board may need to be replaced. This may be the case for deep scratches, water damage, or boards that are structurally compromised. Our team can remove the damaged board and replace it with a new, matching board, ensuring a seamless repair.

Carpet Repairs

Carpet repairs are common in homes and businesses, as carpets can suffer from tears, stains, burns, or seam separations. Unlike hardwood floors, carpet repairs often require patching or re-stretching.

Carpet Burns and Tears

Burns and tears can occur due to various reasons such as dropped hot items, sharp objects, or heavy foot traffic. We can repair small burns and tears using a technique called patching. During this process, we cut out the damaged portion of the carpet and replace it with a matching piece of carpet, ensuring a more seamless repair.

• Burn Repair: In cases of burns, we may trim the damaged area and replace it with an identical piece of carpet. If the damage is extensive, we may need to cut and replace a larger portion of the carpet.
• Tear Repair: Tears in the carpet are usually repairable by cutting out the damaged section and replacing it with a matching patch. In some cases, we may use a carpet adhesive to bond the tear together.

Carpet Seams and Edges

Over time, the seams of carpets can begin to separate due to heavy foot traffic or improper installation. Our team can re-seam the edges using specialized equipment to ensure that the seam is tight and seamless. This is important for both aesthetic reasons and to prevent further damage.

Carpet Stretching

One of the most common carpet problems is wrinkling or bunching. Carpets can stretch over time, especially in high-traffic areas. Carpet stretching helps restore the carpet to its original tautness, eliminating wrinkles, bubbles, and bunches.

To re-stretch the carpet, we use a power stretcher, which allows us to pull the carpet tightly over the padding and smooth out wrinkles. Once the carpet is stretched properly, we secure the edges and trim any excess.

Vinyl Floor Repairs

Vinyl floors are another popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces due to their durability and low maintenance. However, like any other flooring type, vinyl floors can experience damage, such as gouges, cracks, or tears.

Crack and Gouge Repair

For larger cracks or gouges, we can fill the damage with a vinyl adhesive or patch kit.  After the area has been filled, we smooth out the repair, ensuring that the repaired section blends seamlessly with the surrounding vinyl.

Vinyl Tile Replacement

If a vinyl tile is severely damaged, we can remove and replace it with a new tile. This repair is relatively simple but requires that the new tile matches the existing pattern and color.

Laminate Floor Repairs

Laminate floors are a cost-effective flooring option, but they can be prone to damage from heavy impacts or moisture. Common issues with laminate flooring include chips, cracks, and discoloration.

Laminate Plank Replacement

If a laminate plank is beyond repair, we can replace it with a matching plank. We will remove the damaged plank and install a new one, ensuring that the new plank aligns with the existing floor pattern.
