"I hired Jimmy to pour a concrete slab for a small building in my yard. I am someone who cares a great deal about workmanship and quality, so I was very pleased that he listened carefully and asked me a lot of questions before starting work to find out exactly what I wanted. There was some challenge to the task because it had to be placed on a slope. Jimmy and his helper worked very hard and got the job done even more quickly than I expected, and the final product exceeded my expectations."

With over 25 years of professional flooring experience, here to help you with all your flooring needs and dreams.
"Removed kitchen tile & installed vinyl planking. Work was done all in one day, a bit of a rush but understandable as it was the day before pandemic lockdown in 2020. Satisfied with initial work despite one mussed-up lengthwise joining, but that was near sink, not very noticeable. Over next year, however, around half a dozen gaps appeared between ends of planks in one area (a few minor ones in another area). Workmen came out twice (needed prompting), expressed surprise, said they’d replace planks. When workmen finally came out third time, no new planks. They just caulked the gaps with a “close” color. I could have done that, and with a closer color. Since then, the caulk has darkened & crumbled, leaving dirty gaps again. Will not rehire."

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.
