RiverTown, FL
Individual LVP planks that are cracked, chipped, scratched, or buckling can often be replaced without touching the rest of the floor. Because LVP floats as a system, damaged planks near walls or transitions can be accessed and replaced by working back from the nearest perimeter — often without disturbing the majority of the floor. Sitting directly on the St. Johns River means RiverTown has some of the highest ambient humidity readings in St. Johns County. River-facing homes experience regular fog and morning dew that works into every gap and transition. We use commercial-grade moisture barriers and fully waterproof LVP for all ground-floor installations in RiverTown.
Assess damaged plank location → determine best access path (wall or transition edge) → carefully disassemble floating planks from the edge to the damage point → replace damaged plank → reinstall planks and transitions.
RiverTown is all new construction, with homes being delivered from 2018 to the present. Dream Finders, Mattamy, and Lennar are among the active builders. Open floor plans with large sliding doors to lanai spaces are common — this indoor-outdoor connection means flooring transitions need to be carefully planned and executed with appropriate thresholds and transitions.

The community is growing rapidly and word of mouth is strong — Gator Carpet & Tile has built a network of referrals throughout the RiverTown Facebook groups and HOA forums.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Repair in RiverTown
Yes, if you have matching planks from the original installation or can source a match. Because LVP floats, we work from the nearest wall or transition back to the damaged plank, swap it, and reinstall — without adhesive and without visible disruption to the surrounding floor.
If the exact product is discontinued, we look for the closest available match. In some cases, a transition strip can be used to create an intentional design boundary between old and new. We always advise storing 5–10% of your original LVP after installation for exactly this reason.
Light surface scratches can be addressed with LVP repair kits or touch-up markers that match the floor color. Deep scratches that go through the wear layer into the print or core typically require plank replacement for a clean result.
