Pre-Installation Tips

• Make sure you know who’s removing the old flooring. This service isn’t always included, and it’s important to ask the installer to remove the old flooring if you need it to be removed.
• Minimize dust by vacuuming before the flooring is removed and vacuuming the new floor after installation.
• Make sure you’ve moved all furniture (installers don’t usually get paid to do this), and remove any breakable items from the room.
• Remove all items from the room where the hardwood will be replaced.
• Measure all doorways, vents, and other clearances that you’ll need before installation.
• If you’re painting the room, as well, make sure you paint before the hardwood goes down to limit any accidents on your new flooring.

Hardwood Installation Procedure

If you’re getting new hardwood flooring installed, it’s important to go with a company that you trust to provide the very best in installation. Proper installation is vital to the overall lifespan and health of your new flooring. With that in mind, we’ve listed below the steps that we take to install new hardwood flooring in your home to ensure your complete satisfaction with our work!

• A professional will evaluate your current flooring to decipher whether we can install on top of the old flooring or we need to remove it.
• We test the floor and subfloor for evidence of moisture so we can take preventative steps. Moisture may cause the hardwood to crack or warp over time.
• Next, boards are nailed, glued or snapped into place, depending on the specific product.
• Lastly, our team provides a thorough inspection of your work to ensure it’s done to our very high standards.

Hardwood Care & Maintenance Tips

Hardwood flooring is one of the most durable, long-lasting flooring materials on the market today. It’s resistant to wear and tear and common stains from household products like coffee, shoe polish, lipstick, acetone, mustard and more.
