~$1.00 per square foot for subfloor
(Pricing per square yard except
where otherwise noted)

You may or may not need new pad.  We sell only the two best types - Ultra Plus Daltonian is a 10# solid rubber pad and lays over concrete and/or under berbers, at $4.50 per square yard.
We also carry the 8# Rebond pad - a half inch thick and breathable, it's used primarily on plywood, under plushes.   Both are lifetime pads, and properly cared for, will last for many years. WOOD

(All pricing per square foot)

Pricing depends on solid wood or laminated flooring, prefinished or not, and prep of floor
