At DFW Property Remodelers, we know that a flawless floor starts from below. That’s why our floor leveling and subfloor repair services are a critical part of any high-quality flooring installation. Whether you’re updating with hardwood, tile, vinyl, or laminate, a properly leveled and secure subfloor ensures not only a smooth look but long-lasting durability and comfort.
Why Subfloor Repair and Leveling Matters
Over time, subfloors can suffer from water damage, structural shifts, wear and tear, or poor construction practices. These issues lead to:
- Uneven flooring
- Creaks or squeaks
- Tile cracking
- Plank separation
- Moisture buildup
Our job is to fix these issues at the root. We reinforce or replace damaged sections, level the surface, and prepare it to meet the specific demands of your chosen floor material.
Common Problems We Address
Water-Damaged Subfloors
Leaks from plumbing or heavy humidity can compromise the integrity of your subfloor. We assess the extent of the damage, replace any warped or rotting sections, and treat surrounding areas to prevent future issues.
Uneven Surfaces
A floor that slopes or feels bumpy isn’t just unsightly—it’s a tripping hazard and a headache during installation. We use advanced leveling compounds and tools to correct slope discrepancies to within a fraction of an inch.
Cracked or Weak Plywood
If your subfloor has cracked, separated, or lacks support between joists, we reinforce or replace the material with quality plywood or OSB (oriented strand board) to provide a firm and secure base.
Creaks and Noisy Movement
Squeaky floors often mean the subfloor is loose or rubbing against nails or joists. We identify problem areas and re-secure the boards properly using screws, adhesives, or new fasteners that eliminate movement and sound.
Our Floor Leveling Process
- Thorough Inspection
We begin by lifting a small section of the existing flooring (if needed) and inspecting the subfloor for signs of movement, moisture, or structural weakness. - Moisture and Mold Testing
Moisture damage is a hidden enemy. We use moisture meters and visual inspections to detect mold or water rot and replace compromised materials. - Structural Repair
Any loose panels, sagging joists, or weak areas are reinforced with blocking, additional joist support, or full panel replacement depending on the severity. - Precision Leveling
Using professional-grade self-leveling compounds, shims, or screeds, we bring the surface into perfect flatness—essential for tile or floating floors. - Subfloor Preparation
Before reinstallation, we ensure the surface is clean, dry, and ready for adhesives, underlayments, or floating floor systems.
Compatible With All Flooring Types
Our floor leveling and subfloor repair services support a wide variety of materials, including:
- Hardwood (solid or engineered)
- Luxury Vinyl Planks
- Laminate
- Porcelain or ceramic tile
- Carpet
Each material requires different tolerances. For example, tile demands nearly perfect flatness to prevent cracking, while floating floors need even support to avoid shifting. We tailor our approach to the exact needs of your installation.
