Most flooring problems don’t start with the material. They start with what’s underneath.
If the subfloor isn’t flat, stable, and ready, laminate, LVP, and engineered hardwood will fail. You’ll see gaps, movement, and wear way sooner than you should.
These photos are exactly what we run into after tear-outs. Uneven surfaces, moisture issues, and substrates that were never prepped right.
At Third Coast Flooring, we don’t ignore that stuff.
- We tear out properly
- We inspect the substrate
- We fix what needs fixing
- Then we install
That’s how you avoid problems down the road.
If you want your floors to last, the prep work matters just as much as the product.
