Hardwood floors are a timeless choice that can elevate the look of any room in your home. Whether you’re remodeling an older space or updating a newer one, hardwood adds warmth, durability, and lasting value. However, exceptional results require careful planning and a professional team to handle the hardwood floor installation process.
If you’re thinking about scheduling a hardwood floor installation with our team, this blog will cover some key things you should know beforehand.
Benefits of Hardwood Flooring
From traditional oak to modern engineered hardwood, there are options to suit every room and budget. Regardless of what type you choose, you can expect:
- A timeless appearance that works with any style
- High durability with proper care
- Streamlined maintenance tasks
- A higher home value
What to Expect During Hardwood Floor Installation
Most installations can be completed in a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the room. Our team will follow a precise process, including:
- Acclimating the wood. Hardwood needs time to adjust to your home’s temperature and humidity levels.
- Preparing the subfloor. The surface must be clean, level, and dry to ensure long-lasting reliability.
- Laying the boards. Depending on the product, boards may be nailed, stapled, or glued to the subfloor.
- Finishing. Boards are cut to fit your room, with trim and moldings added at the end.
Tips for Homeowners:
- Clear the room of furniture and valuables.
- Make alternate plans if the room will be off-limits for a few days.
- Ask your installer about cleanup and post-installation care.
- Avoid walking on the floor for at least 24 hours after completion.
