        "text": "Deciding between repair and replacement depends on the extent and type of damage. Minor scratches, small cracks, or localized issues can often be repaired cost-effectively, especially with hardwood or individual tile replacement. However, widespread water damage, significant structural issues, or extensive wear across a large area typically warrant full replacement. If the damage compromises the subfloor or affects a majority of the room, replacement is usually the more durable and long-term solution.",
