Really solid, practical rundown of subfloor prep without a bunch of fluff. The reminders about checking flatness with a straightedge and dealing with moisture before you lay anything down are spot on and probably save people from expensive mistakes. I would’ve loved a quick list of common tools/products by subfloor type, but overall it’s a helpful guide I’ll reference again.
Really helpful guide that lays out the subfloor prep steps in a practical order, especially the reminders about checking flatness with a straightedge and dealing with squeaks before you move on. I also liked the emphasis on moisture testing since that’s the part a lot of DIY articles skip. Only thing I wish it included was a couple concrete examples of acceptable flatness tolerances for different flooring types, but overall it’s a solid checklist to follow.
