Your new flooring is only as good as the surface underneath it.
One of the biggest flooring mistakes happens before the first plank or tile is even installed.
An uneven subfloor can lead to movement, gaps, squeaking, and even premature flooring failure.
That’s why proper subfloor preparation matters.
Before installation, we check the floor for high and low spots. When necessary, we use leveling compounds to correct uneven areas and create a surface that meets the flooring manufacturer’s flatness requirements.
And here’s something many homeowners don’t realize: a floor doesn’t necessarily need to be perfectly level, but it does need to be flat enough for the flooring being installed.
It’s the kind of work that gets covered up, but plays a major role in how your floors look and perform for years to come.
