Subfloor replacement material recomendation...

[vbtalent]

I'm getting ready to do some subflooring work on our unit, and I wanted to know what the opinions are for using OSB vs Plywood in Florida locations?

Should I be concerned about using OSB, a less expensive product vs Plytanium plywood?

Any suggestion or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
VB,

In my experience, shimming the beams can help if they’ve just sagged a bit, but it’s really only a temporary fix unless the root cause is addressed. If the joists or beams are rotted, poorly supported, or the ground has shifted, you could end up back in the same spot. I’d recommend first checking for any moisture/rot issues and proper support posts, then deciding whether a more permanent repair is needed.
