Subfloor installation work generally involves preparing the existing floor surface, measuring and cutting subfloor materials such as plywood or oriented strand board to fit the designated area, and securely fastening them to the underlying floor joists using appropriate fasteners. The process may include leveling uneven surfaces, ensuring proper alignment, and verifying that the subfloor is stable and free of defects before proceeding with the finished flooring. When evaluating requests for subfloor installation, important details include the size and shape of the space, the type and condition of the existing flooring or surface, the specific materials preferred for the subfloor, and any necessary adjustments to accommodate the planned flooring type or load requirements.
