        "text": "In older homes across historic neighborhoods like Sugar House or The Avenues in Salt Lake City, flooring replacement often reveals settling, out-of-level joists, or multiple previous flooring layers. Historic homes frequently have original tongue-and-groove boards or thick mud-bed tiles that require extensive labor to remove. Subfloors in these properties may need structural reinforcement or self-leveling underlayment to support modern large-format tiles or rigid planks. Factoring in extra time for subfloor assessment prevents unexpected delays when remodeling older houses in the valley.",
