Which sub floor material??? Jump to Latest 85K views 30 replies 16 participants last post by C.M.J. Mar 29, 2010
When it's stone or pavers, the same company provides the material and does the install. When it is wood, lam or tile, I usually source my own flooring material and hire the installers. I provide the subsurface prepped and ready, the surface flooring or tile, grout and any finishes, such as sealer.
You have described sub-floor in another post: I'm with you, Sub floor goes on the joist, underlayment goes over the subfloor and underlays the finished floor.:thumbsup: Using your definition, the 5/8 decking I am referring to is the first layer over the joists in my case.

I see quite a few guys using 1x8, or ripping 3/4" sub-flooring scraps to use. Who uses What out there? And now a relevant story. Back in 2004, I was on a job in KY where besides doing the production CAD I was tasked with building just the stairs and platforms in 3 stair towers. It was a 3 story assisted living project.
I have never dealt with ibeams before. On regular joists, I could sister sections of 2x material and also easily span between joists with joist hangers. The attachment showed ibeams being spanned but I could not see how they were attached. I will not be doing the plumbing, just the subloor removal and replacement.
About three years later, the floors had to be removed and all of the sub floors replaced and mold remediation. This also included the removal of all the custom built cabinets in the kitchen. the contractor was sued for the entire cost and lost. He is now out of business along with the flooring contractor who did the work.
If you would prefer to work on a time and material basis my hourly rate per man/hr is $75. If you would like a labor or material only estimate their combined total will be higher as complete project fixed rate pricing is lower.

Material laying around on the job site belongs to the person who has paid for it. Once it's installed, it's considered real estate and belongs to the property owner. Whether or not if you've been paid makes no difference. If you go rip up half the fence, you would then become a criminal.
Depends on the structure of the wood flooring and direction of the installation.If it is solid and ends going towards the metal piece it can be done as tight as possible as the solid wood does not expand lengthwise.If it runs with the same direction, it definitely needs an expansion space.As msv said it can be done with colored caulking.
