Why subfloor repair matters
Every flooring problem you can see started underneath. Squeaks, cracked tiles, gaps, voided warranties — almost all of it traces to a subfloor that wasn't right when the new floor went down.
Subfloor work isn't glamorous. It's slow, careful, and often the part contractors quietly skip. We match you with pros who don't skip it — and who'll tell you exactly what's going on before they install over it.
Why this matters
The foundation of every good install
Spend on the subfloor now or spend triple on a redo in 3 years. Easy math.
Skipping = squeaks, gaps, voids
Manufacturer warranties on hardwood, LVP, and tile all require proper subfloor prep. Skipped prep voids the warranty.
Honest assessment
Most contractors don't mention subfloor problems because it costs them the job. Our pros tell you the truth.
