Floor Repairs & Installation in Estero, FL
A cracked tile in the kitchen. LVP planks buckling near the lanai. Carpet that should have been replaced five years ago. Whatever is going on with your floors, our team handles the repair or replacement so you can stop stepping around the problem.
You walk into your guest bathroom and notice the grout between the floor tiles has cracked and started crumbling. There is a hairline crack running through one of the tiles near the shower. It has been there for months, maybe longer. You keep meaning to deal with it, but calling a tile contractor for three tiles feels like overkill. That is exactly the kind of job we handle every week.
Chad The Handyman takes care of the floor repairs that most homeowners put off — jobs that are too involved for a weekend DIY project but feel too small for a dedicated flooring contractor. We work at the room level: individual room repairs, transition fixes, damaged section replacements, and new flooring installation for single rooms or areas. Here is what that covers:
Tile Repair & Replacement
Cracked, chipped, or loose tiles replaced to match your existing floor. We handle ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles, including grout repair and full regrouting for worn or discolored grout lines. Florida's concrete slab foundations shift over time due to sandy soil and limestone erosion, and that movement is the leading cause of cracked tiles in SW Florida homes — especially larger-format tiles that cannot flex with the slab.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) Repair
Buckling, lifting, or damaged LVP planks removed and replaced. We address the root cause — moisture, subfloor issues, missing expansion gaps — so the repair holds. Year-round humidity in Southwest Florida, particularly during wet season from May through October, causes LVP and laminate to expand and lift. Homes without consistent AC or where sliding doors stay open are hit hardest.
Laminate Floor Repair & Installation
Warped, scratched, or water-damaged laminate boards replaced. New laminate installation for individual rooms includes proper underlayment and transition strips to keep moisture from reaching the planks from below.
Carpet Repair & Installation
Patching damaged sections, re-stretching loose or wrinkled carpet, and installing new carpet in bedrooms, closets, or bonus rooms. If your carpet issues turned up on a home inspection report, we can handle those alongside every other item on the list.
Hardwood Floor Repair
Scratched, dented, or water-stained hardwood boards replaced or patched. We match wood species and stain to blend repairs with your existing floor. (Note: we do not offer full-floor sanding and refinishing.)
Transition Strips & Thresholds
Installing or replacing transition strips where different flooring types meet — tile to LVP, carpet to hardwood. Fixes trip hazards and gives rooms a finished look. Threshold repairs often pair with door and trim carpentry work, which our team handles in the same visit.
Salt air in coastal areas like Estero and Bonita Springs speeds up grout deterioration and weakens adhesive bonds under tile. Post-hurricane moisture intrusion from Ian in 2022 and Debby in 2024 damaged flooring in thousands of SW Florida homes, and many still need repairs. If your flooring issues are part of a bigger home repair list, we handle it all in one trip.

How Our Floor Repair Process Works
Three steps from damaged floor to finished repair.
We start with a free on-site estimate. Our tech inspects the damage, checks the subfloor condition, identifies the flooring type, and gives you a clear quote before any work begins. No surprises.
Once approved, we source matching materials (tile, LVP, laminate, carpet, or hardwood) and schedule the repair at a time that works for you. Most single-room floor repairs are completed in one visit.
After the repair, we clean up completely and walk you through what was done. We stand behind our work — if something is not right, we come back and fix it.
Cracked Tiles and Damaged Flooring Show Up on Inspection Reports
Cracked floor tiles, deteriorating grout, and damaged flooring are among the most common findings on home inspection reports in SW Florida. Inspectors flag these because they can point to moisture intrusion or subfloor issues that affect a home's value. Floor problems are often grouped with other repair items — drywall, plumbing, doors — and our team handles the entire list in one visit instead of you hiring separate contractors.
“We had several repairs that needed to be done before closing on our house. Chad's team came out, assessed everything, and knocked it all out in one visit. The tile work looked great and you could not tell where the repair started and the original floor ended. Very professional.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Repairs
How much does floor repair cost in Southwest Florida?
Cost depends on the flooring type (tile vs. LVP vs. hardwood), the size of the area, the extent of damage, and whether the subfloor needs attention. Most single-room floor repairs cost far less than a full floor replacement. Every job is different, so we quote by the project after inspecting in person. Call (239) 880-2423 for a free estimate — we will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why is my LVP floor buckling, and can you fix it?
LVP buckling in Florida is commonly caused by excess moisture wicking up through concrete slabs, missing or inadequate expansion gaps along walls, and temperature swings when AC systems cycle on and off. Our team identifies the root cause — not just the symptom — and addresses it (moisture barrier, expansion gap adjustment, subfloor prep) before replacing the damaged planks. This issue is especially common in homes near the coast in Estero and Bonita Springs where humidity levels stay high year-round.
Do I need a licensed contractor to install new flooring in Florida?
Florida law requires a licensed contractor for most flooring work beyond basic carpet installation. Chad The Handyman holds state license CBC-1259887, which covers tile, LVP, laminate, hardwood, and carpet installation and repair. Hiring an unlicensed handyman for flooring work can void manufacturer warranties and create liability issues if something goes wrong down the road.
Can you match my existing tile if only a few tiles are cracked?
We do our best to match tile by style, color, size, and material. If the exact tile is discontinued — which is common in older SW Florida homes built during the early 2000s construction boom — we source the closest available match or discuss alternatives like replacing a larger section for a uniform look. Grout color matching is part of the process so the repair blends with the surrounding floor.
How long does a typical floor repair take?
Most single-room floor repairs — replacing a few tiles, fixing buckled LVP, patching carpet — are completed in one visit, typically within a few hours. Larger jobs like installing new flooring in a full room may take a day. We schedule at your convenience, Mon–Fri 8am–4:30pm, and we will give you a time estimate during the free on-site consultation.
