Raise It Right!


Often times a subfloor will need to be raised so that thinner floor coverings such as carpet will "flush out' at thicker adjoining floor surfaces like stone or marble, as an example. The Covalt Floor Leveling systems is ideal for just this problem, or any type of concrete repair in Southern California.

Our cement based underlayment is installed at the desired elevation, leaving a reveal height so that the thin flooring will transition nicely into the thicker floor covering. By doing this proper installation/preparation  there is no need for unsightly reducing strips, and the like.

One type of this application we run across time and again are carpet insert areas. Commonly found in commercial lobby's, stores, offices and homes. The insert area should be filled and made flat to accommodate a perfect carpet installation. We advise against "band aid" approaches such as installing plywood to fill this void, as this routinely fails due to movement, squeaking, nail pops, etc. Visit CovaltLeveling for more information and to schedule a site inspection.

Like the title says, Raise It Right!
