Repair or replacement of damaged subfloor, joists and framing so new cabinets and flooring sit on a solid, level foundation.
What is under your kitchen floor matters more than most people think. Years of slow dishwasher or sink leaks can soften subflooring. Old notching for plumbing can weaken joists. Uneven floors make new cabinets hard to level and new flooring prone to cracking or gaps. When demolition reveals a soft spot, it is much better to deal with it now than to bury it under new materials. In Nashville homes, where age and moisture exposure vary, this step often turns out to be necessary.
We probe and measure the floor, identify the cause of any damage and make sure the source of moisture is corrected. Then we cut out damaged subfloor and replace it, sister or replace compromised joists, level high and low spots and add support where the new plan requires it, such as under a heavy island or stone counters. A structural engineer is brought in for larger issues. The result is a flat, solid floor that sets up the rest of the project for success.
Leaks and moisture sources are identified and corrected so damage does not return.
