Underlayment Overkill: Necessary Expense or Skip? 🤷‍♂️

[Black_Angel]

Yo peeps! I'm about to lay down some new floors and I'm wondering about underlayment. Is it really a must-have or can I slide by without it? Would love to save a buck if it’s not crucial.

Hey there! I totally get where you're coming from! Underlayment can feel like an extra expense, especially when you're trying to stick to a budget. From my experience, though, I'd say it's definitely worth considering. It can help smooth out any imperfections in your subfloor, which is crucial for getting that nice, even finish with your new flooring.
