While working on yet another remodel of a nine year old house,it was discovered that the plywood deck is not flat. Part of this job is to extend the existing hardwood floor into the room with the wavy sub floor. I have checked everything out and found no structural defect causing the problem. My question is if anyone out there has come up with a good solution to fix the sub floor other than tearing it all out and shiming the joists. I was hoping to find a product that could float out the deviance in the sub floor,( about 1/2 ” ),that would still allow the new hardwood to be nailed down.
