A finished floor is only as good as the surface below it
Uneven areas, old adhesive, loose boards, dips and soft spots can show up after installation if they are ignored. Subfloor preparation helps the new floor sit cleaner and reduces problems with movement, gaps and transitions.
Different floors need different preparation
LVP needs a flat, stable base. Tile needs proper bonding and layout preparation. Hardwood needs secure boards and clean transitions. The prep work may not be the prettiest part of the job, but it is often what protects the final result.
What should be discussed before work starts
Before installation, the estimate should explain any leveling, repairs, transitions, removal or prep work included. That makes the project clearer and helps avoid surprises once the old flooring comes up.
- Uneven spots or dips
- Old adhesive or damaged areas
- Transitions between rooms
- Moisture and installation requirements
