If you ever detect soft spots in your floor, it pays to investigate and find what is causing the problem…
In this case, we found a lot of mold and just plain grossness under the top layer of flooring! It was a very good thing that the house was vacant at the time, because the repairs were extensive.
The entire floor ended up being replaced, new decking was installed and new industrial tile was added
The finished product was not too bad, some of the glue oozed up as it was walked on because the very cold conditions did not allow it to dry for a while, but a little cleaning remedied that problem and it cured after a couple days.
Scott has been in the home maintenance business and in ministry almost his entire life! He started his own custom cabinet company at the age of sixteen and became an ordained minister in 1994. He has served in God's work just about his entire life while working in remodeling and home maintenance to supplement their income and mission travels. Scott has pastored 2 churches in Texas and planted many churches in Southern Mexico. He and his wife Emma have a daughter, Ella, and together they oversee an organization in Mexico that is planting churches, discipling and feeding the hungry.
The remodeling and home maintenance company continues stateside, and has become a trusted home repair company for many north Texas families.
