"Mark and his team were incredible from the very moment I called for help - our basement floor had flooded and while I wasnâ t planning on replacing our floors this year (or at all) I am so grateful I found Floor Coverings International Shoreline. The showroom experience was incredible and Mark was such a helpful advisor and expert in the many options available - found exactly what I wanted right away. Installation was timely, professional and 10/10 quality. The crew arrived on time, communication was great and at every step my feedback was sought out which put me at ease and I am over the moon with my new floors and stairs! So grateful to Mark and his amazing team!"

Yes, you can repair damaged laminate flooring yourself, especially for minor scratches and gouges on the surface. If you're considering a DIY repair, make sure you have extra matching boards to replace any that get damaged during the process. This method requires precise handling and the right tools to ensure a smooth, lasting fix that maintains your floor's functionality and appearance.
Replacing one or two pieces of laminate flooring involves removing the damaged boards and installing a new one. The best method for this starts at the closest wall. Remove the trim and pull up boards until you reach the damaged one. Then, replace that board and reinstall any planks you took out to get to that board.
Swollen laminate flooring indicates that excess moisture has permanently compromised the board’s structure. Repairing the swollen area is not possible because the integrity of the laminate is lost. You must replace the affected flooring entirely to restore both strength and appearance. In addition, identifying and eliminating the moisture source is crucial to prevent further damage.
Water that gets under laminate flooring immediately compromises the integrity of both the planks and the subfloor. It soaks into the materials and triggers aggressive mold growth while degrading the flooring structure. Immediate and thorough drying is essential; failure to remove the moisture necessitates complete replacement of the affected materials to restore safety and durability.
Laminate flooring is designed to last between 15 and 25 years under optimal conditions. Heavy usage or significant moisture exposure can cause the floor to require replacement sooner. High‑end laminate engineered with superior durability ratings delivers unwavering performance for up to 50 years when maintained meticulously. Regular inspections and immediate repairs preserve the floor's integrity and visual appeal.
