4 ways to avoid the dreaded squeaky floors in your new build 👇
1️⃣ Use I-joists instead of dimensional lumber (more stable, less shrinkage)
2️⃣ Have the subfloor screwed down. Not nailed
3️⃣ Make sure your framers use construction adhesive between the joists and subfloor panels
4️⃣ Upgrade to AdvanTech subfloor panels (worth every penny)
Squeaks almost always come down to movement between the subfloor and the joists.

Don't throw away your leftover flooring just yet ...👀
Lay your leftover flooring across your attic decking. Cleaner storage, easier to walk on, and stops plywood particles from getting tracked back into the house every time you go up there.
This is the kind of small move that pays off for years after move-in. There are hundreds more tips like this in my Home Building Checklist 👉 BuilderBrigade.com
Two ways to do it:
1️⃣Leftover LVP from your flooring install, already paid for, just snap it in.
2️⃣Cheap vinyl rolls from a big box store, covers a ton of square footage for cheap.

👉 TIP: Lots of homeowners do large format on the walls and small tiles on the shower floor to get the best of both worlds. If you go all small tiles, use epoxy grout instead of cement, it'll save you years of headaches.

Small tiles mean more grout lines. That's more cleaning, more spots for mold and mildew, and more daily upkeep.
Large tiles cut your grout by up to 90%. Less scrubbing, fewer places for bacteria to hide, and a cleaner modern look.
One thing to watch: large floor tiles can get slippery. Spec a textured or matte finish on anything going on the floor so you're not sliding around a wet bathroom.
