Preparing Sub Floors – Don’t worry, we do all the work! The first step is prepping your space. Perhaps the most important aspect of the installation of your hardwood floor is the preparation of the floor’s “foundation”. Any particle board must be removed. The sub floor must be examined carefully for construction damage, such as raised nails, loose spots, soil or water damage. The floor surface can be applied only after the “foundation” is firm and prepared properly.
Choosing a Wood Type and Grade – The unique appearance of your hardwood floor is determined by the various grades of hardwood flooring available. All grades are equally strong and serviceable in application. Flooring that is practically free of defects and made up mostly of heartwood is known as “clear” though it still may contain minor markings. “Select” is almost “clear,” but this grade contains more of the natural characteristics such as knots and color variations. The “common” grades have more markings than either of the other two grades and are often chosen because of these naturally elegant features and the character they bring to the installation.
The Work Begins – The final product of your new floors is in full swing! The crew strategically lays out the hardwood ensuring the colors and grain are perfect. Once the wood is laid out just right, the floor gets sanded, buffed and the crew lays a beautiful finish to make the color of the wood POP! Most projects take a few days up to a week to finish, depending on the size of the project.
