Fix the damaged part, keep the rest

Floor repair saves you from replacing a whole room because of a few bad boards. A scratched plank in front of the fridge, a seam that lifted after a leak, a transition strip that keeps coming loose — each of these can usually be fixed on its own.

The key is spare material. If you have leftover boxes from the original install, the repair can be close to invisible. If not, we help you find a matching product, or suggest a less noticeable place to borrow planks from, such as inside a closet.

Why floors get damaged in one spot

Most floor damage is local: water from a dishwasher, ice maker line or pet bowl; a dropped pan; furniture dragged without pads. Floating floors also separate where they were laid over a low spot, so the same seam opens again and again.

Because the damage is local, so is the fix. The skill is in removing a plank from the middle of a floor without disturbing its neighbors, and in finding out why it failed so the new one does not fail the same way.

Replacing a single plank

On a floating floor, planks are unclicked from the nearest wall or cut out in place and the new plank glued in. On a glue-down floor, the old plank is heated and lifted.

Water-damaged sections

The source of water must be fixed first, and the subfloor dry, before new planks go down.

Repair or replace the whole floor?

If damage is spread across the room, the product is no longer available, or the subfloor beneath is soft, a new floor can be the better spend. We tell you honestly which side of that line your floor is on, based on photos.

How it works

Measured before we start

1. Send photos

Two or three photos of the wall, door or floor and a line about what you want done. A tape measure in the shot helps.

2. Get the price

Pavlo texts you a clear price and the earliest date he can come. If something can only be judged in person, he says so up front.

3. Fixed and cleaned up

Neat work at the agreed time, the room left swept. Pay by cash, check or Zelle when it is done.

Pavol is proactive in communication and came quickly to check our leaking ceiling. He helped to figure out the issue and fixed the drywall patch. would recommend him as a reliable handyman.

Pavlo responded immediately and offered to come give an estimate within the first few days. He started the job a few days later. We needed partial walls replaced, wall repairs and painting. We had water damage and needed the walls repaired after remediation. He did a flawless job and even put our picture hangers back after painting. He was neat, on time and showed up when expected. The walls look great and I'm glad we found someone who offered a great price, did the work in a timely manner and made the room look great!
