Thanks for the response. Everything I had read going into this project says 1/4" bumps or uneveness is okay. I believe I am below 1/4" now on everything. In one room we used Maipai patch- hated using it. In the other two rooms we were able to jack the joists from below and put sister joists...

haha, thanks. The wife is convinced we can get some of the carpet out. Wants to take a long handled hand saw to see if it will cut down. I just dont know what to do with it once I get it out. Sliding a piece of laminate back there seems worthless to make but dont know how else to hide the hole

Hello everyone, I need some help and advice!...2 q in uestions/scenarios. 1. I have a fireplace and built in shelves that look to be on top of the carper...so naturally the sliver in between them also has carpet. How can I remove the carpet in between and what do I put in its place? I feel...

I know I've posted in here already but next phase..next question. Tore the carpet out and replacing with Pergo Outlast. 1. They had padding down but nothing else. It was just on the subfloor. 2. I have a 1/4" valley in my floor...assuming a joist is in lower than the rest. This appears to...

Thanks.Guess I'll be finding out since I don't see another way. If I remember correctly, they offered a 1/2" and 3/4" nose....but other dimensions I'm not sure about.

I'd like to say this will be my last post but I'm having problems already just ordering material. I went to order the nose mouldings and it appears Depot doesnt sell my color in a pergo nose moulding. They DO carry what they call the same color by a company called Zamma. Does anyone know if...

Ok thanks. I will definitely call them. Currently, I believe (and will confirm this weekend when I tear out the carpet in the first room) that they have Luan down underneath the carpet. I'm hoping since the floor is only 13 years old, that this is still in good shape and is re-usable. Because...

Thanks so much. THis weekend I'm tearing the carpet out of the first room so that's my test room. In the larger room, the squeaks are coming from everywhere really but mostly out well away from the way. My wife notices bouncing too so I'm HOPING screws will do the trick but if that doesnt...

Oh I got an additional question. It was recommended I use Pergo Floormate as an additional underlayment....has anyone used that? The question I would have is 1. do you think yes or no? 2. would this take place of a wood underlayment? Currently on top of the plywood they appear to have an...

HEllo! We are all set to install Pergo Outlast plus linton oak color. Anyway, it comes with underlayment alreaady. As a hope for some additional sound proofing, CAN I install an additional underlayment directly on top of the level plywood? Everything I read said it is not "required" but I...

THanks!

THanks so much for the tips. I'm assuming the 12" bit from above would be once i remove the carpet or do you do that through the carpet? I guess it doesnt matter much since I'm removing carpet anyway

THanks! How would I fix that if it were that?

Thanks for your response. The house was built in 2002 and had a foreclosure flood in 2008 where I was told they gutted the entire main floor and replaced everything- however I can't be sure they replaced the subfloor. I know they re-tiled the kitchen and then secure that good- no squeeks or...

HEllo! I am in the planning and tool gathering stage of changing my carpets over to Pergo Outlast flooring. I'm writing for a few reasons. 1. IF anyone has tips for this project, please let me know. I'm all ears. THis will be my first flooring job. 2. My current floor is extremely squeeky...
