Preparing plywood subfloors to meet flooring manufacturer requirements
Before hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, carpet, or tile can be installed, the plywood subfloor must be structurally sound, flat, clean, and properly prepared. Our experienced technicians repair damaged plywood, eliminate squeaks, replace weak sections, and prepare your subfloor to meet flooring manufacturer installation requirements.

At Leader Flooring, we identify these problems before installation begins.

When appropriate, we install approved underlayment panels to create an improved surface for the finished flooring.
