"I cannot recommend Igor and BYM LLC enough. These guys are simply amazing, best contractors I have worked with. I had previously asked Home Depot to take care of my flooring project but after a month of waiting on scheduling, they said they could not tear down the parquet flooring and said I had to find someone else. Igor came within a day of me calling him, and gave me a very reasonable quote and also explained all my options properly. Project started and completed within 2 days - just as promised. Igor was always on time, and above all, he just took care of everything. I didn't hear anything until the project was done. He figured out parking, worked with my building concierge and just got it done. And the flooring work itself was very well done, the floor looks gorgeous. Thank you so much!!"

"Hugo is easy to work with and he is punctual and dependable. He put in a sub floor and a new oak floor in my bedroom.. It was finished beautifully and I was impressed on how the wood floor met the marble floor of my bathroom. He also sanded and refinished the rest of my home with a water base finish.. He is trustworthy and his prices are very reasonable."

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.
