At CB Flooring, we understand that the strength of any flooring system begins beneath the surface. Subfloor preparation is not just a preliminary step—it’s a critical part of the entire installation process. That’s why our expert subfloor leveling services are trusted by contractors, developers, and end users throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
With offices in Columbia, MD, Richmond, VA, and Harrisburg, PA, CB Flooring brings over two decades of experience to commercial flooring projects across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, and Washington, DC. We provide professional, large-scale subfloor leveling solutions for corporate interiors, healthcare settings, educational campuses, hospitality venues, industrial sites, and multifamily housing developments.
Uneven, cracked, or improperly prepared subfloors can compromise even the most well-planned flooring project. Poor subfloor conditions often lead to visible imperfections, premature wear, adhesive breakdown, and even complete flooring failure. Whether it's a small dip in concrete or widespread undulation across an entire slab, these issues can impact the performance and appearance of the finished floor.
CB Flooring's subfloor leveling services are designed to eliminate those risks. By addressing surface irregularities before installation, we provide a smooth, stable foundation that supports high-performance flooring in demanding commercial environments. This extra step in preparation helps extend the life of flooring systems while supporting a cleaner, more professional finish.
Subfloor leveling is the process of correcting imperfections in a concrete or wood substrate to achieve a flat, even surface before flooring is installed.
This process typically involves:
At CB Flooring, our trained installation crews use high-quality materials and equipment to manage this process efficiently—even on large job sites or in tight timelines. We evaluate each site condition independently and propose leveling solutions that fit the specific flooring type being installed, whether it’s carpet tile, resilient sheet goods, hardwood, or large-format porcelain.
CB Flooring provides subfloor leveling for a wide variety of commercial projects. Whether the installation is happening in a brand-new facility or as part of a renovation, we coordinate with general contractors and project managers to make sure the subfloor is properly addressed before flooring is laid.

Subfloor imperfections are not always visible at first glance. CB Flooring conducts on-site assessments to identify early warning signs and recommends leveling solutions accordingly.
Addressing these issues early can save considerable time and cost later in the construction process. CB Flooring's comprehensive subfloor leveling solutions help minimize rework, reduce installation errors, and improve overall performance.
CB Flooring follows a systematic process for all subfloor leveling work. Our process integrates tightly with the overall flooring schedule to prevent delays and keep the site ready for installation.
Before any leveling work begins, we conduct a detailed site walk to assess the condition of the subfloor. We measure for flatness, look for visual defects, and determine whether the surface is within tolerance for the specified flooring system. This step allows us to provide accurate recommendations and cost estimates.
Based on the evaluation, our crews prepare the surface using grinders or scarifiers as needed. We remove any old adhesives, debris, or contaminants that could interfere with bonding. In some cases, moisture testing is conducted to confirm conditions are acceptable for self-leveling underlayments.
Using high-performance leveling compounds, we apply a self-leveling system across the subfloor. These products are engineered to flow easily and fill in low areas while drying into a smooth, consistent layer. The result is a flat surface that meets industry standards and is ready for installation.
Once the underlayment has cured, our team conducts a final inspection and verifies that the subfloor is suitable for flooring installation. At this point, the project transitions to our installation crew, who will begin placing the selected flooring product with confidence in the base below.
Many of CB Flooring's commercial clients pair subfloor leveling with additional services that are critical to the success of the project. These include:
When moisture readings in the concrete are elevated, CB Flooring applies vapor barriers or other mitigation systems to reduce the risk of flooring failure.
From resilient products to carpet and hardwood, our in-house teams complete the job with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
We help clients plan from the ground up, offering guidance on materials and cost-effective solutions early in the design phase.
By offering an integrated suite of services, CB Flooring keeps projects moving forward while reducing coordination gaps and delays.
We approach every subfloor leveling project with precision and professionalism. CB Flooring assigns a dedicated team to every job, including a project manager, estimator, field superintendent, and project coordinator. This team structure helps keep timelines tight and communication clear—especially when leveling services are one part of a larger construction or renovation project.
Whether you're building new or preparing for a flooring replacement, the integrity of your subfloor matters. CB Flooring provides expert subfloor leveling services that support a smooth, professional finish and long-term performance for commercial flooring systems.
