Floor Problems We Fix in Portsmouth
Portsmouth floors tend to fail from below. Older crawl spaces let damp river air sit under the boards, and settled framing leaves soft spots and squeaks. So a repair here usually starts with a flashlight under the house, then the boards on top.
- Soft spots: Subfloor opened up, rotten sections replaced and leveled.
- Squeaks: Boards and subfloor fastened back to the joists.
- Tenant damage: Stains, burns and gouges fixed between leases.
- 1800s boards: Original Olde Towne floors patched with matching old wood.

Portsmouth repair FAQ
How much does hardwood floor repair cost in Portsmouth?
From $750. Subfloor or crawl space work adds to that, and we photograph it so you can see why.
01Why is one spot in my floor soft?
Usually the subfloor under it has rotted from a slow leak or a damp crawl space. We open it up, replace the bad section and put matching boards back.
02Can you stop the squeaks in an old house?
Most of them. We fasten loose boards and subfloor to the joists, from the crawl space when we can reach, so no screws show.
03Will you work in a rental between tenants?
Yes. Small repairs are a day or two of work plus drying time for the finish.
