Professional Laminate Repairs

Laminate flooring is tough, but it isn't indestructible. Should you discover damage to your laminate flooring, trust our expert technicians to restore your flooring to its original condition.

Scratches and Dents

Even with the best of intention and maintenance, accidents can occur. Minor but annoying, scratches and dents can affect the appearance of your laminate flooring with unsightly marks. With a specialized touch up and fill materials, our technicians can fill in the scratch or dent with a color coordinated to your laminate flooring. The repair is usually very difficult to detect and will hold up to wear and tear like the rest of your floor.

Plank Replacement

If the damage is severe enough to require plank replacement, we've got you covered. Plank replacement is more intrusive than scratch and dent repair and requires some disassembly. Our trained experts will carefully remove your flooring, plank by plank until the damaged board is reached. Using a board from the original installation, we will replace the damaged board and install the new plank along the perimeter of the room, near the baseboard so that the newer replacement is less likely to be detected.
