Self-leveling compound poured over a repaired subfloor

Sumner sits down in the valley, and a lot of its homes, old and new, have lived through plenty of wet winters. Water and time are hard on subfloors. When you’re ready for new floors, making sure the layer underneath is flat and sturdy is the best money you’ll spend on the whole project.

Don’t waste your new floor

The subfloor is the base for everything you see. When it’s uneven or weak, new flooring can look odd, wear out faster and even become a safety risk. Most flooring manufacturers set flatness rules for installing their products, and skipping them can shorten your floor’s life. Getting it right first means your new hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl or carpet performs the way it should.

Here’s what we fix in Sumner

Old concrete. Slabs that sat under carpet for years often have bumps and dips. We level just the trouble spots or the whole floor.

Creaks and squeaks. Usually a loose subfloor. We secure it, with spot fixes where possible and a closer look when it’s more widespread.

Swollen or twisted plywood. A lot of Northwest homes were framed during rainy spells. We sand the high spots and fill the low ones.

Squishy spots. Often water damage. We cut out the damaged plywood and put in new.

Slanted floors. Common in basements and homes on post-and-beam foundations. We level basement floors and build up wood subfloors so the new floor sits true.

Honest, accurate, and local

Costs and complexity vary, so we look before we quote. Our pros have been doing this for over 30 years, and we’ll give you an honest assessment and a reliable estimate. Kellie’s also does kitchen remodels in Sumner, so if your floor project is growing, we can grow with it.

Danylle G.

The flooring is beautiful, the installation is perfect. I threw some curve balls and Kellie was all over it, every time. FANTASTIC all around!

Tracy C.

We had carpets and hardwood installed, and it is all beautiful and high quality. Excellent customer service and communication throughout the process.

Robin R.
Did you know?

Most "bad floor" calls aren't the floor. If a room feels bouncy or the planks keep separating, the subfloor underneath is usually the problem, and covering it up with new flooring just buys you a year. Kellie's levels and repairs the subfloor first, which is why the floors stay flat.

FAQ

Subfloor repair questions, answered for Sumner

Can squeaks be fixed without tearing up the whole floor?

Sometimes. A few squeaks can be fixed as spot repairs. Other times it takes some investigating to find the cause, and more of the floor has to come up. We'll look first and tell you your options before anything gets torn out.

What's the most affordable way to fix a wavy subfloor?

It depends on how bad it is. Minor humps can often be sanded down and low spots filled with leveling compound. More serious problems may need new plywood. Once the old floor is up, we'll walk you through what's best and what's most affordable.

Will you install the new floor as well?

We'd be happy to. Kellie's installs hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, carpet and tile. We'll also repair the subfloor for another installer's job if that's how you'd like to do it.
