        "text": "Subfloor preparation is a critical step in kitchen floor replacement, ensuring the longevity and proper installation of your new flooring. It involves inspecting the existing subfloor for moisture, rot, or damage, repairing any compromised sections, and ensuring it is clean, dry, and level. Depending on the new flooring material, a cement board underlayment might be installed for tile, or a leveling compound applied to smooth out imperfections. Proper subfloor preparation prevents future issues like squeaks, cracks, or unevenness.",
