About the Service

Subfloor Repair & Leveling, Made for Your Home

Subfloors can have soft spots, squeaks, dips, high spots, cracks and moisture issues. Left alone, they show through new flooring as gaps, bumps, squeaks and failed seams.

We inspect the subfloor, repair or replace damaged sections, secure loose areas, grind high spots and level low spots with the right compounds, so the new floor starts on a flat, solid base.

Music City Floor brings subfloor repair & leveling to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 21 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Subfloor Repair & Leveling

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Why does my floor squeak?

Most squeaks come from the subfloor and framing, where panels rub against nails or joists. We can often secure the panels from above or below to quiet them.

Does my floor need to be perfectly level?

New flooring performs best on a flat surface. Manufacturers specify how flat the subfloor needs to be. We measure and level where needed so the new floor performs the way the manufacturer intends.

Can you level a concrete floor?

Yes. We patch cracks, grind high spots and use self-leveling compound to flatten low spots on concrete.
