Floor repair
Most floor problems are cheaper to fix than to replace, and most are installation errors rather than worn out flooring. Find the symptom below.

Straight answer
When repair is not worth it
Not every floor is worth repairing. Carpet that is delaminating will ripple again a few months after it is stretched. A tile floor over joists that flex will crack again no matter how well it is regrouted. Engineered hardwood with a thin veneer cannot be sanded at all.
If that is your situation, we will tell you on the phone before you spend anything.
Fastest path
Send us a photo
A photo of the problem tells us more than a paragraph describing it. Take one straight down at the damage and one from across the room so we can see the light and the run of the floor.
Repair questions
Do I need to move my furniture?
No, we move it. Empty out closets, take things off shelves, and disconnect electronics. We handle the heavy pieces. Tell us in advance about anything unusually heavy or fragile, like a piano, a gun safe, or an aquarium.
Will the ripples come back after stretching?
Not if it is power-stretched and the tack strip is sound. Ripples come back when a floor is kicked in again instead of stretched, or when failed tack strip was reused. If the carpet backing is delaminating, stretching will not hold and we will tell you that before we start.
How many times can hardwood be refinished?
Solid hardwood will usually take several refinishes across its life, depending on how much wood sits above the tongue. Engineered hardwood depends entirely on veneer thickness: a thick veneer takes a light pass, a thin one takes none. We check at a vent or a threshold before quoting.
Can you just regrout instead of replacing the tile?
Only if the substrate is sound. Grout cracks because something under it moved, so regrouting a floor that still flexes puts you back in the same place within about a year. We tap the floor and look at how the cracks run before we recommend it.
Can you match my tile if some are broken?
If you have leftover tile from the original install, yes, and it will match perfectly. Without attic stock, an exact match on a discontinued product often is not possible. We will show you how close we can get before you commit to the repair.
