Floor repair fixes the damaged part of a floor so the rest can stay. Flow Home Services is a veteran-owned handyman and remodeling company based in St. Petersburg. We repair vinyl plank, laminate and tile floors in houses and condos. That includes lifted or gapped planks, swollen laminate, cracked or loose tile, and the slab or subfloor under them.
Spare planks or tiles from the original job make the closest match, so check the garage or a closet. When a new floor is the better answer, that is flooring installation, and we say so at the estimate. Estimates are free, so text photos of the floor to (727) 404-7164.

Most vinyl plank and laminate floors click together and float over the slab. Near a wall, we unclick the rows back to the damaged plank and swap it. In the middle of a room, we cut the bad plank out and glue a trimmed one in. Glued-down vinyl plank gets warmed so the old plank lets go.
A floating floor needs room to move at the walls. When a cabinet or trim pins it down, the planks push up into a peak along a seam. Gaps open where the slab dips and the joints flex underfoot. We fix the cause first, then lay the planks back down.
Laminate has a wood fiber core, and water makes the edges swell. A swollen board stays swollen after it dries, so it gets replaced. In a condo, the new board goes back over the same sound underlayment.
A cracked tile can come out without taking up the floor around it. We cut out the grout and break the tile out in pieces. The old thinset comes off, and the new tile goes in level, then gets grouted. A newer batch of the same tile can be a shade off, so spares match best.
A tile that sounds hollow when you tap it is not fully stuck to the slab. A hollow tile with no crack can often stay, but one that rocks gets reset in fresh thinset. A crack running through a line of tiles usually means the slab cracked, and that gets patched first. When cracks run across the room, tile removal and tile installation make more sense than a patch.
Floor leveling comes into plank repairs too. Low spots get a patch or a leveling mix, which cures before the floor goes back. Loose threshold strips get reset or replaced at the doorways. Quarter round gets nailed to the baseboard, so the floor under it can still move.
About 7 in 10 homes in St. Petersburg were built before 1980. The median year built across the city is 1969. The Kenwood Historic District is mostly homes built between 1912 and 1945, and more than half are bungalows. Older bungalows can have a wood subfloor instead of a concrete slab.
A soft spot in a wood subfloor usually comes from an old leak near a tub or a door. We cut out the soft section and fit a new piece of subfloor the same thickness. A squeak often comes from a loose subfloor rubbing on its nails, and screws pull it tight.
A floor that sags across a whole room is a different problem. That points to the framing under the house, which is not floor repair. If we see it, we tell you before any floor work starts.

Christian has been helping my seller clients prepare their home for resale and for my buyer clients to get the upgrades they desire in an excellent timeframe. I highly recommend Christian and his team and look forward to working with them on future projects. (Before and after photos of rooms Flow Home Services painted for my clients).
Christian and his team did an incredible job at building our backyard shed. This was an involved job that other handymen would not touch. The project consisted of framing, siding, roofing, painting, securing into concrete, etc. his skill and attention to detail was impressive. Christian was very reliable and showed up on time everyday ready to work. In addition, Christian updated us numerous times throughout the day with progress pictures and videos as we were traveling during the holidays. The team cleaned up and we can home to a fully built 10x14 ‘ shed/garage. If you are looking for a reliable, skilled handyman/builder, look no further. We will be using Flow Home Services again soon.
Christian helped me install a new back door and he did an amazing job! He was very professional and reliable. Highly recommend!
