About Me
Hi, I’m Ruslan — a professional handyman with 15+ years of experience. I help homeowners and landlords in Ottawa repair and replace damaged laminate flooring sections in condos, apartments, and houses.
I assess what caused the issue (impact damage, swelling from moisture, gaps, movement, transition problems), then remove and replace the affected planks where possible. I focus on clean cuts, neat alignment, proper expansion spacing, and a tidy finish so the repaired area blends in and feels solid underfoot.
Why Clients Choose Me
- Practical assessment of the damage and the cause (moisture, impact, movement)
- Clean removal and replacement of damaged laminate planks/sections where possible
- Careful alignment so the repair looks straight and blends with the existing floor
- Options for partial repair vs. section replacement (cost-effective solutions)
- Evenings & weekends available — fully insured & registered in Ontario
Is This Service Right for You?
When This Service Is a Good Fit
- You have a few damaged planks (chips, cracks, deep scratches) and want a neat fix
- You see swelling, lifting, or gaps and need repair or partial replacement
- A small section needs to be replaced after a leak or wear
- You need help matching the repair approach to your laminate type and layout
- You want clean work, protection of surfaces, and tidy cleanup included
When This Service Is Not the Right Fit
If the floor is widely damaged across many rooms, or the subfloor has major moisture or structural issues, a full flooring project may be the safer option. If the exact laminate is discontinued and no suitable match is available, I can recommend the most practical alternatives (for example, replacing a defined section with a clear transition line).
How the Service Is Delivered
How the Visit Works
- Quick assessment: type of damage, affected area size, and possible cause (moisture/impact/movement).
- Protection of nearby surfaces and careful disassembly where needed (trim/transition access).
- Remove damaged planks/section and prepare the area so the repair sits flat and aligned.
- Install replacement planks/section neatly with proper fit, spacing, and clean edges.
- Final checks: alignment, stability, transitions/trim as needed, and cleanup.
To Help Complete the Job Faster
- Send clear photos of the damaged area and a wider photo of the room for layout context.
- If you have spare planks or the laminate brand/model info, share it (a photo of the box label helps).
- If the issue started after a leak, let me know when it happened and whether the area is fully dry now.
Pricing Approach
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, the repair method (single plank vs. partial section replacement), access (tight corners, closets, door thresholds), and whether trim/transitions need to be removed and reinstalled. If multiple issues are repaired in one visit, I can often bundle the work so you pay less per item/area.
I confirm the scope and quote before work begins — no hidden fees. If replacement laminate or extra materials are needed, I explain options and get approval before purchase.

⭐ Read reviewsFrequently Asked Questions
What laminate flooring problems can you repair?
I commonly repair or replace damaged laminate planks (chips, cracks, swelling), fix problem areas near thresholds and transitions, and address gaps or movement where possible.
Can you replace only a small section instead of the whole floor?
Yes. If the damage is limited, partial replacement is often the most practical option. I’ll confirm what’s realistic based on the layout, locking system, and access to the damaged boards.
Do I need spare laminate planks for the repair?
Spare planks help a lot. If you don’t have them, I can try to match the product, but exact matches can be difficult if the laminate is discontinued. In that case, I’ll explain the most practical repair or replacement options.
What if the laminate is swollen from moisture?
If moisture caused swelling, the priority is making sure the area is dry and the leak is resolved. After that, I can replace the affected boards/section and restore a neat finish when possible.
Can you repair gaps or movement in laminate floors?
Often, yes — depending on the cause (expansion spacing, transitions, movement, or wear). I’ll assess the area and recommend the safest, most practical fix.
How is pricing calculated for laminate floor repair?
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, access, the repair method (single plank vs. section replacement), and any trim/transition work required. I confirm a clear quote before starting.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Yes. Evenings and weekends are available by appointment.
Which areas do you serve?
Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans, and Gatineau.
How do I book laminate floor repair?
Send photos of the damaged area, any laminate brand/model info if available, and your address — I’ll confirm the scope, quote, and schedule.
