Kaminskiy Care and Repair provides commercial flooring repair and small-area installation for managed property: ceramic and porcelain tile, grout, VCT, sheet vinyl, rubber tile and vinyl plank, with transition strips, traction products and wood subfloor repair. Work is scoped in writing and done around tenants and business hours. Flooring from the asbestos era is tested before it is disturbed. Concrete grinding, large tile lobbies and floor care programs go to other contractors. Many managers begin with a trip hazard walk-through. Flooring is one trade within our commercial handyman services for managed property.
Ceramic, porcelain and quarry tile crack, come loose and lose their grout. Broken and hollow pieces, and joints that have washed out or stained, are handled together as commercial tile and grout repair. A restroom, vestibule or break room that needs a new floor altogether is commercial tile installation, in small rooms only. We say plainly when a lobby is big enough to need a tile contractor's crew.
Glued vinyl floors are made to be patched. Lifted and broken tiles, open sheet seams and loose rubber tile are VCT and vinyl floor repair. When carpet or a worn floor is being replaced in a unit or suite, vinyl plank installation covers the product choice, the moisture check and the turnover calendar. Older resilient floors are sampled before either.
Where two floors meet, strips come loose, and we replace them as floor transition strips. Where a surface is slick when wet, grip is added with slip-resistant treatments. Both sit on the trip hazard page with the walk-through. Where a wood floor has gone soft around a toilet or a door, the layer under the finish is rebuilt as subfloor repair.
Send the flooring items as you have them: complaints, turnover notes, an insurer's letter. We sort them by floor type and location, or walk the property and build the list with you.
Before pricing we ask the age of resilient floors and look at what each floor sits on. Sampling of older material and slab moisture checks are booked ahead of the work.
Each room or doorway gets its own line: the cause, the repair, the material and the price. Items for a concrete, abatement or tile contractor are named as theirs.
Lobbies and shops are done overnight, units while vacant, corridors in halves. Adhesive, mortar and grout get their cure time, and photos come back sorted like your list.
The 2010 ADA Standards deal with floors in two short sections. Section 302 calls for surfaces that are stable, firm and slip resistant. Section 303 limits changes in level along an accessible route, starting at a quarter inch. Loose strips, tented tile and lifted corners are how an existing floor drifts outside those limits. We repair to the dimensions and do not survey or certify a property.
OSHA's construction rule on asbestos, 29 CFR 1926.1101, treats vinyl and asphalt flooring installed no later than 1980, with its backing and mastic, as asbestos-containing until it has been tested and shown otherwise. Old tile under a newer floor counts. For that reason a lab result comes before any repair that would cut, scrape or lift such material, and removal is done by a licensed abatement company.
For workplaces, OSHA's rule at 29 CFR 1910.22 requires walking-working surfaces to be inspected regularly and as necessary, and hazardous conditions to be corrected or repaired before employees use the surface again, or guarded until they are. Food service floors answer to the local health code as well. A floor list with dates and photos keeps that record current.

Five pages, each with a clear boundary. Send a mixed list and we split it for you.
On a first trip to a property we often walk every common floor with the manager: lobby, corridors, restrooms, stairs and a sample of units. Loose tile is tapped, edges are measured, transitions are tested with a foot. The result is a floor list by location and urgency that feeds the year's budget, including items we would hand to another trade.
Each of these has a different cause and a different fix, and the lifting stockroom tiles may need a lab result before anyone pries at them. Forward the whole list and we will work out which is which.
Forward your flooring list, or ask us to walk the property and write one.
We return a scope by room and doorway, with testing and outside trades called out.
Repairs run in off-hours rounds, and photos come back in the order of your list.
The work is backed in writing by our workmanship warranty and done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician.
Most commercial floors fail in places, not all at once. A cracked tile, twenty lifted VCT tiles or one soft bathroom floor is a repair. A worn corridor bay or one restroom can be redone as a section that ends at a doorway. Full replacement makes sense when damage is everywhere or the material cannot be matched. A vendor should price the smallest option that will last.
Tile cracks because the slab moved. Vinyl lifts because the slab is damp. Plank gaps because the subfloor is uneven. In each case the finish is reporting on what is beneath it. A flooring scope that never mentions the substrate is a scope for doing the job twice. Ours states what we found underneath and what was done about it.
Two things make every later floor repair less costly: spare material and a record. Keep a carton or two of each tile and plank, labeled by area and year. Keep the product name, color, adhesive and install date for each floor. With those, a repair is a parts swap. Without them, it starts with a search for a match.
Photos of each problem, wide and close. The flooring type if you know it and the approximate year it went in. The hours each area is empty. Any letter from an insurer, health inspector or access consultant. From that we can usually tell repairs from replacements and identify the items that need testing before a first trip out.

Call 855-695-1195We repair ceramic, porcelain and quarry tile, VCT, sheet vinyl and rubber tile, regrout tile floors and walls, replace transition strips, add traction products and repair wood subfloors. We also install vinyl plank and tile in small areas such as restrooms, entries, rental units and office suites.
Four things. Concrete grinding, lifting and flatwork go to a concrete contractor. Asbestos abatement goes to a licensed abatement company after a lab test. Large lobbies, stone and large-format tile go to a tile contractor. Waxing and floor care stay with janitorial. We name the right party on the scope.
Yes. Flooring is disruptive, so we plan around it: overnight in lobbies and stores, vacant days in units, half a corridor at a time. Adhesives and mortars need time before traffic, and those waiting periods are written into the schedule you approve.
Yes. We keep a product schedule per property so each building's tile, plank, grout color and transition profile is on record, and we group work by location. One contact coordinates the list, and recurring walk-throughs can be part of a maintenance plan.
No. We repair and install to published dimensions where they apply and document the work with measurements and photos. Whether a facility meets a legal requirement is determined by an access specialist, a safety professional or the authority with jurisdiction, not by a repair company.
By area or by item, in writing, before work starts. Tile and plank are priced by the room with preparation shown separately. Strips, treads and walk-through repairs are priced per item. Lab testing and any outside contractor are identified as separate costs.
Attach photos, the floor types and ages if known, and each area's open hours. We reply with a scope by room. To arrange a floor walk, call 855-695-1195.
