Floor damage by common pipe

[Michael Nahm]

Dear fellow BP’ers,

I own a condo that has laminate flooring throughout. Recently, a common pipe within the building caused damage to a small portion of the floor.

Thankfully, the building’s management company accepted responsibility and would like to move forward with repairs. However, the floors were done around ten years ago and the precise flooring can’t be matched.

I was wondering if I should trust the management’s repair crew to do a proper job or whether I should make specific requests, as this type of situation is new to me.

There is a cooperative tenant residing in the condo.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.
