Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A mobile app that identifies flooring subfloor issues via photo analysis and provides material-specific repair guides.
- A standardized database of regional building codes and best practices for subfloor preparation by material type.
- A marketplace connecting DIYers with local contractors for short-duration professional consultations on specific repair steps.
