A

Floor preparation

Leveling depends on depth and area.

These scenarios help set a budget. A straightedge map, moisture test, and exposed-floor inspection determine the actual method.

Broad wood correction

+$2,700–$5,500

Provisional reference. Structural confirmation and a written installation method are required; this amount is never added automatically.

Selected-product manuals require about 3/16 in maximum unevenness over 10 ft. A sloped floor may still be flat; a level-looking floor can still contain failing dips.

Before you order

Confirm the exposed floor.

Flatness

Record the worst straightedge gap, affected area, and average correction depth.

Moisture

Use the test and limits required by the exact product manual.

System

Confirm underlay, vapor control, acoustic rules, expansion gaps, and finished height together.

Written cap

Avoid open-ended phrases such as “leveling extra.” Require a method, allowance, and approval rule.
