Frequently asked questions

Does NailIt include labor costs in subfloor repair estimates?

No. NailIt is 100% DIY materials-only. All costs shown are for materials you purchase yourself—no contractor or installation fees included.

What's the average cost to repair a 100 sq ft subfloor section?

Expect $300–$800 in materials for a 100 sq ft repair, depending on whether you're patching damaged boards or replacing full joists. Use NailIt to get a custom estimate for your project size.

Can I use regular plywood instead of pressure-treated for subfloor repair?

For areas that may face moisture, pressure-treated is safer and extends durability. Standard plywood works for dry interior repairs. NailIt lets you choose material type to adjust your estimate.
