Our Floor Leveling and Patching Services
We focus on identifying uneven floors precisely and repairing damaged subfloors using materials suited for various flooring types. Our approach ensures a smooth, durable base to support any flooring installation with consistent quality.
Precision Floor Assessment
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your floor to identify all dips, cracks, and weak spots. Using moisture meters and laser levels, we measure uneven areas down to fractions of an inch.

This detailed assessment guides us in selecting the right repair methods. We document all discrepancies to ensure no issue is overlooked before proceeding. Accurate measurements prevent future problems and ensure the subfloor meets installation standards.
Concrete and Subfloor Repair
We provide targeted repairs for concrete slabs and various subfloor materials like plywood and OSB. Cracks and holes are filled with high-strength patching compounds that bond securely.
For damaged or weakened areas, we reinforce or replace sections to restore structural integrity. Our materials are designed to support heavy loads and prevent future imperfections.
We tailor repairs based on your flooring type, whether hardwood, tile, or vinyl, to maintain proper adhesion and longevity.
Techniques for Self-Leveling Floors
We use specialized self-leveling compounds to correct uneven surfaces efficiently. These materials flow into low spots and harden smoothly, creating a consistent plane.
Our technicians prepare the area by cleaning and priming the subfloor, ensuring proper bonding for the compound.

We apply multiple layers as needed, controlling thickness to achieve precise flatness. This technique saves time and labor compared to traditional patching while offering durable results.
Benefits of Professional Floor Leveling
Enhanced Durability
When floors are uneven or damaged, stress concentrates on weak spots, causing quicker wear and tear. By leveling and patching these areas, we distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points.

This process also prevents moisture buildup in low spots, which can degrade materials over time. Using quality compounds and techniques, we restore the floor’s structural integrity, extending its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.
Improved Safety
Uneven floors pose serious risks, including tripping hazards and instability for furniture and appliances. Leveling the floor creates a consistent surface that minimizes these dangers.

Our work eliminates creaks and loose boards often caused by uneven subfloors. This increases overall stability and ensures that walking or moving objects across the floor is safer and more comfortable for occupants.
Preparation for Installations
A level surface is essential before installing any new flooring type. Whether hardwood, tile, vinyl, or laminate, imperfections beneath can cause damage, gaps, and failure over time.

We provide a smooth, flat base that supports correct installation techniques, preventing premature issues like cracking or buckling. This groundwork protects your investment and guarantees the finished floor performs as expected.
