Skip to content Cracked tile, crumbling grout, lifted planks and loose transition strips repaired in place, so the damaged spot is fixed without redoing the room.
Flooring and tile repair covers fixing cracked or loose tiles, repairing grout, patching lifted vinyl plank, laminate and hardwood spots, and installing transition strips and floor trim. It is spot repair of damaged sections, not replacing a whole floor. Clean Corps is a veteran-owned handyman and property maintenance company serving Four Corners and the wider Orlando area.

About Four Corners: Four Corners is an unincorporated area southwest of Orlando, where Lake, Orange, Osceola and Polk counties meet near US 27, US 192 and I-4. Most of its homes are mid-age rather than historic, and a notable share of its housing units are held for seasonal use.
A tile that sounds hollow underfoot, a plank lifting at a seam and a grout line crumbling at a doorway are what a landlord finds at move-out. Four Corners housing is mostly recent, so a rental floor problem is more likely to be worn grout, a lifted plank or a loose tile than anything historic, and the list can run from a whole hallway of grout to one lifted plank in a single unit.
Between tenants the job is usually a short list of damaged sections, not a new floor. A cracked tile can be replaced where a matching tile is available, and a tile that sounds hollow or rocks underfoot can be reset or replaced. Grout that has darkened, crumbled or fallen out can be repaired or redone. A lifted vinyl plank or laminate plank, a transition strip that catches and scuffed hardwood that needs a touch-up are all spot jobs. How closely a repair blends depends on the tile, plank or grout available.
Walk the unit after move-out and photograph each damaged tile, plank, strip and gap. Set aside any spare tile, plank or grout from the install, which can help a repair blend in. A stain or soft spot near a tub or sink needs its moisture source fixed by the right trade first. Anything beyond a spot repair goes on a separate list. A one-time visit suits one unit; a monthly or quarterly plan suits an owner with several. This rental turnover checklist helps. Phone (407) 638-8956 or send the list through the site.

Often, yes. A single cracked tile can usually be cut out and replaced when a matching tile is available. Spare tiles from the original installation make matching much easier. Without a close match, the repair may be visible next to the surrounding floor.
Grout in wet areas absorbs moisture and stains, and humidity often speeds up darkening. It can also crack where a tile has loosened or the floor flexes. Crumbling grout can usually be removed and redone, but a hollow tile underneath needs more than new grout.
Usually something else. A tile that sounds hollow or rocks has often lost its adhesive bond underneath, so it typically needs to be lifted and rebedded rather than regrouted. Tapping nearby tiles can show how far the loose area spreads.
Often, when the damage is limited to a few tiles, a lifted plank or failed grout. We repair the damaged sections and list anything beyond a repair, such as whole-floor replacement or subfloor trouble, so you can decide next steps. How closely a repair matches depends on the material available.
A hollow tile can be reset or replaced. If there is a stain, soft spot or damp smell near a tub or sink, the moisture source needs fixing by the right trade first, since new tile over a wet floor will not last. Note the spot and photograph it for your request.
Note each damaged tile, plank or strip by room, with photos, and say how to get into the unit. Set aside any spare tile, plank or grout from the original install. Then say whether this is one unit or several.
