I called a few flooring contractors and most just wanted to talk product without looking at what was under the carpet. Luke actually walked the subfloor with me, found a soft spot near the bathroom, and took care of it before any material went down. They pulled carpet, prepped, installed, and site-finished the whole house in five days — the floors look incredible.
