Subfloor repair costs typically range from $650 to $1,200 per opening, influenced by damage extent and material choice. Addressing subfloor issues promptly is crucial to avoid escalating costs in residential renovations.

Understanding Subfloor Failures

The subfloor, usually made of plywood, OSB, or planks, supports finish materials like hardwood or tile. Failures can occur due to:

• Long-term moisture from leaks or humidity
• Improper fastener spacing or inferior materials
• Termite or pest damage
• Heavy loads from appliances or added walls

Identifying Early Warning Signs

Early detection prevents extensive repairs. Look for:

• Persistent floor squeaks
• Soft spots underfoot
• Cracking grout lines
• Flooring cupping or separating
