No matter what type of floor you need to be repaired in your Charleston home, our handyman experts can get it done properly, efficiently and at an affordable cost. Because we tailor our Charleston flooring repair service to our customers’ unique needs, there is a wide range of repairs and steps that we may take during a service appointment. Below, we’ve included some general details for the four main types of flooring repair in Charleston, SC that our service professionals undertake.
Our Charleston flooring repair service typically starts with an assessment of your floors. Depending on the problem you’re experiencing with your flooring, we may determine that there are structural issues with your subfloor. Your floor joists may need wood rot repair, or you may have mold or termite damage that has developed in the years since receiving your clear CL-100 inspection results.
If subfloor repair is required, we’ll likely have to remove your existing flooring entirely. Damage to this extent, however, is rare. In most cases, your subfloor will be in serviceable condition, and we’ll be able to make your desired hardwood, vinyl, laminate or tile flooring repairs.
Even if your wood floors are looking scuffed and scratched, you probably don’t want to replace them entirely—nor should you! Hardwood is one of the most expensive materials you can use in your home and will add value to your property. Fortunately, hardwood can generally be repaired quite easily simply by sanding and refinishing. The only exception to this is if you live in a historic home with planks that have been refinished so many times that they’re too thin to be sanded again.
Hardwood flooring repair in Charleston, SC typically involves:
As a more affordable and low-maintenance alternative to hardwood, more and more Charleston homeowners are choosing to use vinyl or laminate flooring in their homes. These two materials can both be classified as ‘floating floors,’ making them easy to install. Unfortunately, because their surfaces are 3D-printed images rather than real wood, they cannot be refinished using sanding.
To repair vinyl floors and laminate floors, we’ll typically need to remove the damaged planks and replace them with new ones. Ideally, you’ll already have extra material on site, but if not, we recommend contacting the manufacturer and finding out whether they still make your design.

Another popular material used in Charleston homes is tile. Easy to clean, stylish and perfect for keeping the home cool and comfortable during those toasty, humid South Carolina summers, tile is unlikely to ever go out of style. We can repair any type of tile you can think of, including:
Depending on the material, type of damage and extent of damage, there are several Charleston flooring repair solutions we may use. Chips in tile may be filled in with epoxy and paint, while major cracks generally call for replacement of a single tile. Also, grout line repairs are not uncommon when you notice discolored or crumbled grout. Again, having spare material on-site comes in handy and is one of the reasons why it is recommended that you order approximately 10 percent more material than you think you’ll need during a flooring installation.
Our handyman experts are highly skilled in tile repair, allowing them to remove the damaged tiles without damaging adjacent tiles in the process.
