Why Floor Preparation Matters
Before you install vinyl, laminate, hardwood, or engineered flooring, the subfloor must be level, clean, and dry.Skipping this step can lead to:
Uneven floors or visible gaps
Creaking and loose boards
Peeling or lifting over time
Moisture damage and mold growth
Even the highest-quality flooring won’t perform well if it’s installed over a poorly prepared surface. That’s why professional preparation is essential for long-term durability and appearance.
How Teos Flooring Ensures a Perfect Foundation
At Teos Flooring, we start every installation with a thorough subfloor inspection.Our trained team checks for levelness, moisture, and structural integrity before any material touches the ground. If needed, we apply self-leveling compounds, perform repairs, and install moisture barriers — especially in basements, kitchens, or bathrooms.
This attention to detail prevents future issues and ensures a smooth, stable surface for your new floor.For example, in a recent project in Salem, NH, we found an uneven subfloor before installing vinyl planks. After proper preparation, the result was a showroom-quality finish that will last for years — no squeaks, no gaps, no surprises.
