What is the life expectancy of a subfloor?

• <div><p>A good subfloor can last 30 years or even longer, depending on the material. OSB should last a bit longer than plywood. However, OSB isn’t the best option for heavy flooring types like ceramic tile or stone. It’s also worth noting that regular moisture exposure will drastically reduce any subfloor's life span. </p></div>

How long does it take to remove carpet and install laminate?

• <div><p>It takes about one to two days to remove carpet and install laminate flooring for small and medium-sized rooms. A larger room may take an extra day to complete. If you’re replacing flooring throughout your house, expect closer to one to two weeks, depending on your home’s square footage.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove tile flooring?

• <div><p>As with timing, the cost to remove tile flooring varies depending on a number of factors, including size and type, adhesive type, condition of the tile and adhesive, and the method used to remove it. If you&rsquo;re doing it yourself, you can expect the job to cost only the price of any tools, materials, or equipment that you don&rsquo;t already have. If you&rsquo;re hiring a professional, expect to pay between <b>$2 and $7 per square foot</b> for labor costs, along with added fees for materials.</p></div>

Q: Is it easy to remove carpet?

• <div><p>Most DIYers can learn how to remove carpet although it&rsquo;s time and labor-intensive. However, if you have glued-down carpet and are concerned about damaging the substrate below, it's best to call a professional carpet remover. Also, removing glue-down carpet is more work than dealing with wall-to-wall carpet because you have to get rid of all traces of the adhesive from your subfloor to prepare it for a new installation. </p></div>

Q: How much weight can an attic floor hold?

• <div><p>Not all attic floors are created equal&mdash;size, layout, and square footage often vary. The amount of weight an attic floor can hold depends on several factors including the joist size and position, any structural supports or subfloors, and the original intent of the attic design. Without structural reinforcement, your floor might only be able to support about 10 pounds per square foot of floor load before collapsing.</p></div>
