Floor Leveling

What This Service Involves

Uneven subfloors are common in older Puget Sound homes that have settled over decades, and they can ruin an otherwise perfect flooring install. We assess high and low spots, then use self-leveling compound or grinding to create a flat, stable base. A level surface prevents rocking tile, gapping planks, and premature wear once your new floor is in place. It is an unglamorous but essential step that protects your entire flooring investment.

Benefits

Prevents cracked tile and gapping planks; extends the life of new flooring; corrects settling in older regional homes; creates a smooth, professional final surface

Our Process

1) Survey the subfloor for high and low spots; 2) Prime the surface for adhesion; 3) Pour or apply leveling compound; 4) Cure and verify a flat finished plane

What Affects the Cost

Severity and area of unevenness; leveling compound volume needed; grinding versus filling approach; subfloor material and access; room square footage

Best Time of Year

Floor leveling is an indoor task suited to any season, with drier months slightly shortening compound cure times.
