Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my subfloor needs repair?+
Signs include squeaking, soft or bouncy spots, uneven floors, water stains on the underside, and visible damage when old flooring is removed.
Can you repair subfloor without replacing my flooring?+
In some cases, yes — especially with carpet. For hard surfaces, the flooring over the damaged area usually needs to come up.
Is subfloor repair covered by insurance?+
If the damage was caused by a covered event (like a burst pipe), your homeowner's insurance may cover it. We can document the damage for your claim.
How long does subfloor repair take?+
A small section takes a few hours. Larger repairs or full-room replacements typically take 1–2 days.
