SUBFLOOR SERVICES
Build a better foundation for your new flooring with professional subfloor preparation, repair, leveling, underlayment, and concrete preparation services designed to support a stable and reliable installation.
Subfloor Inspection
A successful flooring installation starts with understanding the condition of the surface beneath it. Our team evaluates the subfloor for visible irregularities, damage, movement, moisture concerns, and other conditions that may affect the installation.
When additional preparation is needed, we can identify the appropriate next steps before the new flooring is installed.
Ideal for: New flooring projects, renovations, uneven floors, older homes, and areas showing signs of subfloor-related issues.
Subfloor Preparation
Proper preparation helps create a clean, stable, and suitable surface for the new flooring system. Depending on existing conditions, preparation may include cleaning, removing debris or residue, addressing irregularities, and completing other necessary corrective work.
The required preparation varies based on the subfloor, flooring material, and installation method.
Ideal for: LVP/LVT, laminate, hardwood, tile, sheet vinyl, carpet, and other flooring installations.
Subfloor Repair
Damaged or deteriorated areas of a subfloor can affect the stability and performance of the finished flooring. Subfloor repair addresses localized problems before new flooring is installed.
Repairs are performed according to the existing conditions and the requirements of the new flooring system.
Ideal for: Damaged subfloors, soft or compromised areas, renovations, flooring replacements, and older homes.
Plywood Underlayment Installation
Plywood underlayment can provide an additional layer over an existing subfloor to help create a more suitable surface for certain flooring installations.
Our team carefully measures, cuts, positions, and secures the plywood according to the requirements of the flooring system being installed.
Ideal for: Sheet vinyl and other flooring systems requiring an approved plywood underlayment or smoother installation surface.
Plywood Underlayment Removal
Existing plywood underlayment may need to be removed when it is damaged, unsuitable, or part of a flooring system being replaced.
We carefully remove the existing plywood layer to expose the surface below and determine what preparation may be necessary before proceeding.
Ideal for: Flooring replacements, damaged underlayment, renovations, and projects requiring access to the original subfloor.
Floor Leveling
Uneven areas can create movement, poor alignment, or other problems with certain finished flooring systems. Floor leveling helps correct appropriate low or irregular areas to create a surface that meets the requirements of the selected flooring.
The specific leveling method depends on the existing substrate, its condition, and the flooring manufacturer’s requirements.
Ideal for: Uneven subfloors, LVP/LVT, laminate, hardwood, tile, and other installations requiring sufficient surface flatness.
Floor Patching
Cracks, depressions, voids, and localized surface imperfections may require patching before new flooring can be installed.
Appropriate patching materials are applied where necessary to improve localized areas and create a more suitable surface for the finished flooring.
Ideal for: Minor surface imperfections, localized low spots, concrete surfaces, plywood substrates, and flooring replacement projects.
Moisture Barrier Installation
Certain flooring systems and subfloor conditions may require a moisture or vapor barrier between the substrate and finished flooring.
We install compatible barrier materials according to the requirements of the flooring product, installation method, and existing substrate.
Ideal for: Approved flooring installations over concrete and other applications where a manufacturer-specified moisture or vapor barrier is required.
Underlayment Installation
Underlayment provides an intermediate layer between the subfloor and certain finished flooring systems. Depending on the product, it may support installation requirements related to cushioning, sound reduction, moisture management, or surface separation.
Our team installs the appropriate underlayment according to the selected flooring system and manufacturer specifications.
Ideal for: Laminate, floating LVP/LVT, engineered hardwood, and other flooring systems requiring compatible underlayment.
Concrete Floor Preparation
Concrete surfaces may require preparation before receiving new flooring. This can include cleaning, removing contaminants or residue, addressing localized imperfections, and preparing the surface according to the requirements of the new flooring system.
Proper preparation helps create a suitable substrate for adhesives, underlayments, or finished flooring.
Ideal for: Basements, commercial spaces, slab-on-grade homes, glue-down flooring, tile, and other installations over concrete.
Concrete Grinding
Concrete grinding can be used to address certain high spots, surface irregularities, coatings, or residues that may interfere with a flooring installation.
Using appropriate equipment, affected areas can be mechanically prepared to help achieve a more suitable surface for subsequent flooring preparation or installation.
Ideal for: Concrete high spots, surface preparation, adhesive-related projects, renovations, and flooring installations requiring improved substrate flatness.
