I have a pretty serious creak where the wall meets the subfloor in an area of the room being floored. I've secured the suspected subfloor by sinking screws next to every nail and it didn't change a thing. Also, walking around in the middle of the room on a whole different subfloor sheet along the joist creates the same creak by the wall across the room. So, I'm pretty sure it's a bottom plate or some ductwork/plumbing causing the issue. I need to have this guest room livable by next Tuesday and I really don't have time to rip it up and spend days chasing this noise down. I also have no bottom ..read more

Hey guys, I’ve noticed after winter that water was going through the carpet and the floor became a little bit warped on the edges of the planks.

We installed vinyl flooring (click stuff) throughout our main floor last summer. We had done this rather quickly as we were expecting our first baby in the fall. We knew the original hardwood flooring underneath was a bit uneven in the center of our hallway, however we didn't think it would cause too much of a problem because the flooring we had chosen had a thick padding underlay. Turns out we were wrong (we are first time homeowners learning along the way)! As the weather got colder (we live in Canada) we noticed that the seams on the planks in the hallway were buckling, some were splitting ..read more

Best option for engineered hardwood underlayment? Floor 7’ wide 1/2” thick. Looking into 1/4” underlayment. Most places offer ECO Cork or QuietWalk. On reddit a lot of people complain about QuietWalk (mold, feels like sponge etc). Second floor, wood will be glued and stapled. Thank You! submitted by /u/luxloo [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm in Huntsville, Alabama and a 250sq ft floor area has significant damage. All rotted plywood. So that and floating laminate has to come up and be replaced. I've been quoted $5500 ($2777 up front) and they're like "sign it now please" but in the contract it says there could be other costs (I mean obviously that's possible). It seems somewhat reasonable? I'm wondering if getting them to do the subflooring and me dealing with the laminate would be cheaper? Is that a bad sign that they didn't break the costs down for me? The paper I'm supposed to sign has no mention of the actual job descripti ..read more
