Fix Uneven Floors Old House. This job can run you 1000 and 5000 depending on the extent of the job. They all suggest to use floor leveler in the low spots some have even said to add plywood over the top of that and once the floor is close to level put down the hardwood.
Leveling the floor with shims is when you attach thin wedge-shaped pieces of wood on top of the low areas of the joists to make the top joists even. Even a slope as great as an eight-inch per foot in an 80-year-old home may be no problem while any readily discernible slope in a 5-year-old house would be reason for concern.
