Quick answer

What does flooring cover?

We install and repair flooring across the Township of Ocean — hardwood, laminate, vinyl and tile — including replacing water-damaged subfloor. Where a floor has lifted or gone soft, the subfloor is usually the real job.

— Overview

How this job usually goes

A floor that has cupped, lifted or gone spongy is reporting a moisture problem rather than a flooring problem. Laying new material over a damp subfloor buys a year. Finding where the water came from first is the difference between a repair and a repeat.

What we check first

  • A spongy or cupped floor is reporting moisture — laying new material over a damp subfloor buys a year.
  • Laminate separating at joints is either moisture underneath or no expansion gap at the perimeter.
  • Squeaks that worsen usually mean the subfloor has separated from the joists, not just loose boards.

What this service includes

  • Hardwood, laminate and vinyl installation
  • Tile flooring installation
  • Water-damaged subfloor replacement
  • Board and plank replacement
  • Squeaking floor repair
  • Floor levelling and preparation
  • Transitions and thresholds
  • Skirting and quarter-round

Locally

Why this comes up here

Basement and lower-level flooring in the Deal Lake flood plain often needs a moisture check before anything goes down. Saturated subfloor loses strength and holds water into whatever is laid on top of it.

My laminate is separating at the joints. Why?

Either moisture underneath, or it was laid too tight with no expansion gap at the perimeter. They present the same way, and which one you have decides whether relaying the same material will hold.

Do I need to replace subfloor after a leak?

If it stayed wet, usually yes. Saturated subfloor loses strength and holds moisture into whatever goes on top of it.

  • The first job Multi-Skilled Handyman did for me was to replace our tiny mail box with a bulky secure mailbox in our already built brick post. The outcome was fabulous. It looks like the wall and mailbox were built at the same time. Since then, Multi-Skilled Handyman has come over every six weeks. Each time, I simply hand over our Honey Do list and know with great confidence that everything will be done to amazing perfection.

  • Multi-Skilled Handyman is totally awesome and definitely an honest handyman! He came recommended to us and we called to have him look at the pergola over our patio to maybe replace some of the wood. He said that it wouldn’t be worth it for us to do now, that we should just wait and replace the whole thing. We were impressed with his honesty.

  • Great communication from Multi-Skilled Handyman! Very easy to work with and coordinate scheduling. Multi-Skilled worked really hard, cleaned up each day before he left, and did quality work. We had carpeting removed on the third floor, sub floor repaired, and a new laminate floor installed.

  • Multi-Skilled Handyman installed two porch railings for me. Very amiable and responsive reception by Multi-Skilled. Mike could not have been more responsible and knowledgeable in installing the railings. Will ask them again to help out when I need trustworthy individuals in my home. Thank you!
