| Hi,
I removed old carpet from an old house and found uneven concrete subfloor underneath. I would like to grind/patch up the concrete so the surface is flat for engineered hardwood floors (to be glued down). Any recommendations? I tried calling a few hardwood floor installers and they all claimed they don't fix up uneven floors. I tried calling a few concrete people but they all seem to be outoor/landscaping type of guys. What category does concrete floors leveling/reai fall under? |

| Use a self-leveling floor compound with Portland cement in it. A speciality flooring retailer should have the names of local trades who will do it. Box store employees are often laughably clueless. |

| thank you for your repl, worthy! From my research online, I do see people using self-leveling cement to patch floors. I called a few hardwood floor installers but no one seemed to want to do the "ground" work... any other recommendations? I'd rather hire someone than attempt to do this myself... |
