Subfloor Installation
A strong, level subfloor is the foundation of every beautiful and long-lasting floor. At MSTA Hardwood Flooring, we provide professional subfloor installation and preparation services to ensure your new flooring performs properly and looks flawless for years to come.
Serving homeowners throughout the Chicagoland area, our team focuses on precision, durability, and proper construction at every stage of your flooring project.
Why Subfloor Installation Matters
Your subfloor supports the entire flooring system above it. If it is uneven, damaged, or improperly installed, even the highest-quality flooring can fail over time. Common issues caused by poor subfloors include:
Uneven or bouncy floors
Squeaking or movement
Gaps between boards
Premature wear or cracking
Moisture-related damage
Proper subfloor installation creates a stable base that protects your investment and ensures a professional final result.
Our Subfloor Installation Services
We install and prepare subfloors for all types of flooring projects, including new construction, renovations, and floor replacements.
Types of Subfloors We Work With
Plywood subfloors
OSB (Oriented Strand Board)
Concrete subfloors
Subfloor leveling systems
We assess your existing structure and recommend the best materials and installation method based on your flooring type, home layout, and moisture conditions.
Subfloor Repair & Replacement
In many homes, existing subfloors may be damaged due to moisture, age, or structural movement. We provide:
Removal of damaged or rotted subfloor sections
Reinforcement of weak or squeaky areas
Leveling low or uneven spots
Moisture protection and barrier installation
If full replacement isn’t necessary, we focus on targeted repairs to restore strength and stability while keeping costs efficient.
Our Subfloor Installation Process
We follow a proven, detail-focused process to ensure flawless results:
1. Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the current subfloor condition, check for moisture issues, and evaluate structural integrity.
2. Preparation
Old materials are removed if needed, and the surface is cleaned, leveled, and secured.
3. Installation
New subfloor materials are installed with proper fastening, spacing, and alignment to meet flooring requirements.
4. Final Check
We verify levelness, strength, and readiness for flooring installation before moving to the next stage.
