FAQs

  • What is a subfloor?

    A subfloor serves as the foundational layer of flooring within any building structure. It's the unsung hero that provides a stable, supportive surface upon which the visible floor - whether that's hardwood, tile, carpet, or another material - is expertly installed. 


    The role of the subfloor is indispensable in ensuring the durability, longevity, and overall performance of your finished floor. At Nu_Vue Flooring, we don't compromise on the quality of our subfloor replacements. We use only top-tier materials, guaranteeing a robust and reliable base for your new flooring, thus enhancing the lifespan and appearance of your investment.

  • How long does a subfloor replacement take?

    The timeline for a subfloor replacement is not a standard, one-size-fits-all scenario. It can vary significantly based on numerous factors, such as the size of the space in question and the extent of damage to the existing subfloor. Prior to initiating the project, we provide a comprehensive schedule, offering you a transparent overview of the process and setting clear expectations. 


    Our primary objective is to deliver a top-quality subfloor replacement efficiently and within the agreed timeframe. We strive to ensure your satisfaction and peace of mind from start to finish, making the process as seamless as possible.

  • Can I stay in my home during a subfloor replacement?

    The feasibility of staying in your home during a subfloor replacement largely depends on the scale of the work and the specific location of the project within your home. For minor projects or those situated in less frequently used areas, it may be possible to remain in your home. 


    However, for more extensive projects or those taking place in primary living areas, arranging alternative accommodation might be a more comfortable option. At Nu-Vue Flooring, we prioritize open communication and will discuss these details with you during the planning stage, aiming to minimize disruption to your daily routines and ensure a smooth transition.

  • Can I install new flooring without replacing a damaged subfloor?

    It's generally not advisable to install new flooring over a damaged subfloor. A compromised subfloor can lead to a host of problems with the new flooring, including uneven surfaces, annoying squeaks, or even more serious structural damage. At Nu-Vue Flooring, we prioritize the condition of the subfloor before proceeding with any new flooring installation. 


    This approach guarantees a successful installation process and a durable, high-quality finished floor. Our meticulous attention to detail ensures that your new flooring not only looks great but also stands the test of time, providing you with lasting value.
