Fix the Source, Not Just the Surface
Soft spots, sagging floors, or uneven rooms often start with moisture or framing problems below. We locate the cause, repair the structure, and make sure your subfloor and joists meet current standards before finishes go back down.
Common Causes
- Leaking plumbing, HVAC condensation, or past flooding
- Termite or moisture damage in framing and subflooring
- Undersized or sagging joists and beams
- Improper repairs or patchwork from previous remodels
- Rot around bathrooms, kitchens, or doorways
Our Repair Process
- Inspect crawlspace or framing to identify the true source
- Replace rotted or undersized subflooring and joists
- Reinforce beams and sills with treated lumber or steel where needed
- Install new moisture barriers and insulation
- Coordinate finish flooring replacement or tile reset

Subfloor Repair FAQs
- Do you inspect crawlspaces and framing?
- Yes. We inspect framing, sills, and joists from below to locate the cause before quoting repairs.
- Can you repair only a small soft spot?
- Often yes. We remove damaged material, check framing, and replace with new treated subflooring that ties into the structure correctly.
- Do you repair termite or moisture damage?
- Yes. Once pest treatment or moisture correction is complete, we replace any damaged wood and restore structure and flooring.
- Can you level my floor?
- We correct structural sag where possible and install subfloor panels properly aligned. Cosmetic leveling can be handled by our flooring partners if needed.
- Do you handle insurance repairs?
- Yes. We document and coordinate with insurers when subfloor damage results from covered water or impact events.
- Is this something a handyman can do?
- Most subfloor repairs require a licensed contractor to evaluate structure and ensure code compliance. We make sure it’s done safely and permanently.
