Flooring RepairSingle Plank. Single Visit.
You dropped a cast-iron pan on your LVP and now there's a dent. Don't replace the whole floor — we can swap one plank.
Most flooring repairs aren't full floor replacements. They're one chipped plank, a squeak, a buckled seam from a slow leak, or a transition strip that came loose. We fix those without redoing the entire room.
Common Repairs
Single Plank Replacement
Cut out damaged plank, slide in new one (from your leftover box or matched at store). $125–$225 per plank.
Squeaky Floor Fix

Transition Strip Repair
Came loose, bent, or gap widened. Refasten or replace. $85–$175 each.
Subfloor Patch
Water damage or pet damage. Cut out bad section, new plywood, refasten floor above. $275–$650.
Buckled LVP
Caused by moisture or no expansion gap. Relief cuts, reset, re-seat. $275–$550 per room.
$150 minimum + materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace a single damaged plank?
Yes — if a matching plank is available. The cleanest source is a leftover plank from your original install. If none exists, we can usually pull a SKU-matched plank from a big-box or specialty store, but tone, sheen, and wear will vary by floor age. We confirm match before cutting.
Do you do subfloor patches?
Yes — drywall, plywood, or OSB subfloor patches are part of standard scope. Cut out the failed section, sister joists if needed, install matching-thickness sheet stock, and refasten the floor above. Typical: $275–$650 depending on access and damage size.
Will the patch be invisible?
Depends on plank availability and floor age. A brand-new floor with leftover planks from the original install can look seamless. A 5+ year floor will show some sheen and tone difference even with a SKU-matched plank — sun, foot traffic, and cleaning products age the surrounding floor faster than a new replacement. We tell you up front what to expect.
Do you sand and refinish hardwood?
No. NHS does not perform full-floor sand-and-stain refinishing on hardwood or engineered hardwood. That work requires drum sanders, dust containment, and specialty stain crews — we refer to a specialty floor refinisher for it. We do single-plank replacement and click-lock board swaps.
Can you fix lifting or bubbled vinyl?
Yes for most LVP and vinyl-plank cases. The cause is almost always moisture from below or a missing expansion gap at walls. We pull the affected row, address moisture (or refer for a moisture remediation pro if it's serious), re-cut expansion gaps, and re-seat. Sheet-vinyl glued direct to subfloor is harder to save — we'll tell you on-site.
How long does a typical plank replacement take?
A single click-lock LVP plank with the new plank already on hand: 30–60 minutes including cleanup. A small group of planks or one that requires disassembly back to a wall: 1.5–3 hours. Subfloor patches add time depending on damage.
Do I need to supply the matching plank?
If you have a leftover box from the original install, that's the best match. If not, we can source a SKU-matched plank from a big-box or specialty supplier — we'll confirm the exact SKU with you before purchase. Materials are billed separately from labor.
