Fix Uneven Floors Before They Ruin Your New Flooring
If you don’t level your floors, it can lead to bouncy vinyl, squeaky laminate and premature flooring failure. Hawaii’s concrete slabs settle unevenly, moisture causes damage over time and rushing flooring installation without addressing the foundation costs more in the long run. Professional leveling protects your investments.
Here are the benefits of using our flooring services:
- Prevents future flooring damage and callbacks
- Extends the life of your new floors
- Creates smooth, stable surfaces for any material
Uneven subfloors cause flooring to fail early in Hawaii homes. Settled concrete, moisture damage and old adhesive buildup are the likely culprits, proving the foundation is as important as the top. At our Honolulu Flooring outlet, we assess your subfloor conditions, address issues with proper leveling techniques and prep surfaces so your new flooring performs. Our decades of installation and subfloor leveling experience lets us catch issues other installers miss. Ready for long-lasting flooring? Contact us to schedule your free floor assessment.
Floor Leveling Services We Offer
Proper subfloor prep prevents flooring problems from the start. Here are the floor leveling and repair services we provide across O'ahu:
Concrete Slab Leveling
Settled or uneven concrete slabs create dips, humps and slopes that make flooring fail. Our self-leveling compound and grinding techniques create flat, stable surfaces that meet manufacturer specifications for your chosen flooring.
Moisture Mitigation & Sealing
Hawaii is humid and ground moisture can infiltrate concrete slabs and cause flooring adhesive to fail or flooring to warp. We test moisture levels, apply appropriate barriers or sealers and get your subfloor ready for moisture-sensitive materials.
Old Adhesive & Flooring Removal
Previous flooring installations often leave behind adhesive, thinset or uneven residue that interferes with new installation. We remove old flooring material, grind down high spots and get surfaces ready for clean, professional results.
Transition Leveling Between Rooms
Uneven height differences between rooms make for tripping hazards and awkward transitions. We level adjoining spaces so transitions are smooth and flooring heights match throughout your home.

From the start, they showed a high level of professionalism and made the whole process stress-free.

Their pricing was very reasonable, and they were more than willing to work with me to make sure everything fit my needs and budget. On top of the great workmanship, everyone we dealt with was exceptionally kind and easy to work with—it honestly felt like working with good friends who genuinely cared about the outcome.

Bauer Flooring Service Company, This is the Rose family review of our “Outstanding" service that was received by Bauer Flooring Service this past week.

No words can really express our utter and absolute gratification with the teams trustworthy performance and absolutely beautiful work with the installation of the flooring and wall baseboards. We highly recommend Bauer Flooring and Tile, LLC. Joe & La RosePosted on Mitchell GoldsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't rave enough on the success I had using Bauer Flooring on my new home. Brian the owner and his manager Denise, came out and measured everything, and I had a written estimate by the end of the day. They more than exceeding my expectations on the quality and detail on my floors base boards and molding. The results of their quality work far exceeding any expectations I had prior to the install. I had no idea how much work goes into putting in new floors. I had the entire downstairs floored in latex woods style panels, including two bathrooms and a laundry room. They handled all the details, from removing the washer and dryer, Kitchen appliances, the toilets and then reinstalling them. They created excellent transition pieces from the different rooms and those that have carpet included the carpeted stairs. They even caulked all the necessary areas in the bathrooms and kitchen areas. Their prices were very competitive and although they have a wide selection of product, I was able to use the flooring of my choice. I would never use anyone else.Posted on Sharlyn YamanohaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bauer Flooring and Tile came to our rescue Thursday. We had been working on an extremely tight schedule which started out as a 2 bathroom gut and remodel and morphed into a 2nd floor gut and popcorn ceiling removal. Denise and her crew arrived at 7:30 to reassess all measurement, then proceeded to doing what they do SO well. They had to remove considerable construction debris, and had to deal with not the just usual removal of carpet and pad, but destroyed carpet padding. They also repaired a previous 15 year old walk in closet addition that was not level which we hadn’t even noticed. The crew worked diligently and hard, and were so professional. They stayed on to complete the installation, taking care to cleaning up despite the long hours, staying past 8 pm due to our schedule. The carpet complemented our renovation beautifully. Denise returned the next day to check on their workmanship in the daylight, cleaning up tiny stray pieces, and advised us on the future upkeep to keep the carpet looking great. It was a real pleasure having Bauer Carpeting and Tile being so flexible in fitting us in and doing such exceptional work. We are very pleased to have found them!Posted on Jack TsongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his crew did an amazing job on our hardwood floors. We have a luxury condo in Ward Village and it now looks even better. He was very professional, he always kept in touch with us to make sure we liked the finishes and his price was extremely reasonable. I will definitely recommend him to anyone and I will use them again in the future!Posted on Stanford ChurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This all due to Bauer Flooring. Upon the onset of first meeting Brian and Denise, to the coordination of moving our furniture, to the installation of new; Bauer Flooring executed flawlessly. Vince and Derek were quality craftsmen and Denise was "Wonderwoman" meticulously providing inspections and detailed finishing touches. She is smart hardworking and has an outward likeable personality. It is evident that "doing the job the right way" is Bauer's way. Brian is highly knowledgeable and trustworthy. We are fortunate to have Bauer Flooring help us on our house and in the process met new friends. Of course we would highly recommend them!Posted on Anita Rosaline RajanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue. Brian and team did LVP flooring for our entire home in the Makaha valley last spring. Right from picking the right product for the floor to completion, Bauer Flooring did an amazing job. The finished product speaks for itself. Brian was with us every step of the way. The team was professional, personable, and most of all very flexible in accommodating our needs, mainly our short timeline.

FAQs
FAQs About Floor Leveling in Honolulu
How do I know if my floors need leveling?
Walk across the room and feel for surface dips, humps or uneven areas. We also check with straightedges and levels during consultations. If your floors have more than 1/8″ variation over 10 feet, leveling is usually needed.
Does floor leveling add a lot of time to my project?
It comes down to the extent of the work. Minor leveling can be completed the same day, while more severe concrete subfloor issues can add several days for curing. We provide clear timelines during your consultation so you can know what to expect.
Can you level floors in occupied homes?
We can. Although floor leveling creates dust and requires workspace, we contain messes, protect your belongings and work on a flexible schedule to minimize disruption. Most leveling work happens before moving furniture back in.
Do all flooring types require leveling?
Every flooring material has a different tolerance level. Rigid vinyl isn’t as forgiving as carpet tiles, but proper leveling improves performance and helps every flooring material last longer. We assess situations on a case-by-case basis.
