IT’S TIME FOR INSTALLATION!
We are so excited to help you enjoy your new tile! For the
smoothest process possible, make sure to do the following:
- Remove all furniture, electronics, wall hangings from the rooms & closets receiving new hardwood flooring.
- Take down doors & trim from the rooms & closets as well.
- Designate an area for worker's tools, saws, and sawing hardwood planks as needed.
- Make arrangements for pets & children to be out of the rooms & worker's area on your hardwood installation day.
Hardwood Installation Checklists
When your home is prepared for every step, your family will experience minimal displacement during this exciting time! Follow these helpful steps before, during, and after hardwood installation.
New hardwood flooring cannot be installed over another surface, so the existing floors will need to be removed entirely and disposed of. All imperfections in the subfloor will need to be repaired to ensure a completely flat surface. Bring the hardwood planks in to acclimate to the household humidity level and temperature for at least 48 hours beforehand.
Make sure to be on-hand during the hardwood installation process to help answer any questions that arise for your crew. Establish the adequate ventilation that your installers recommend to offset any adhesive or hardwood stain smells.
Wait the recommended period before walking on the new hardwood floors. Always lift furniture or use rollers when returning pieces to avoid scratches. We also recommend using felt protectors under the legs and corners of heavier furniture.
