  2. Make the Floor Shiny and lose fasteners should be tightened. Remove everything off the floor. Sweep it with a broom or vacuum it with a shop vacuum. Look for any nails or screws that are loose on the floor. Any loose fasteners should be nailed or screwed in place, with the nail and screw heads slightly below the subfloor's surface. To fasten loose or squeaking pieces of wood subfloor material, use deck screws or ring-shank nails inserted into the floor joists.

  3. Identify any high and low points. On the floor, place a long straight edge tool or a straight piece of 2-by-4-inch lumber. Home Depot recommends moving it back and forth across the entire floor, noting high and low points. Make a note of each location and if it is high or low.

  4. High-traffic areas should be sanded Wear a dust mask. Using medium-grit sandpaper, sand off any high places. If you only need to sand a small area, use a hand or belt sander. Consider renting a flooring edger if you have a lot of locations to lower. It will cover more ground in less time. To reduce dust, rent a machine with a dust-collecting bag. While sanding, keep an eye out for nail and screw heads. Remove the item if necessary.

  5. Fill in the Gaps Experts offloor leveling Sherman oaks recommend filling low spots with premixed cementitious leveling compound applied with a trowel. To blend in with the wood subfloor, feather the outer borders. When it comes to drying time, stick to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow the compound to dry overnight for the best results. To finish leveling the dry leveling compound, sand the rough edges with medium-grit paper. Dust from the sanding operation should be vacuumed.
