Remove Furniture and Clear the Space
Before installing hardwood floors, remove all furniture, rugs, and decor from the area. This clears the path for installers and protects your belongings. Also consider removing items from nearby walls, as vibrations from installation tools may cause them to fall.
Acclimate the Wood
Hardwood needs time to adjust to the temperature and humidity of your home before installation. Acclimating the planks usually takes 3 to 5 days and prevents expansion or contraction after installation. Our installers will guide you through this important step.
Check Subfloor Conditions
Your subfloor should be dry, clean, and level. Irregularities can cause issues during hardwood flooring installation. Our team inspects the subfloor and may recommend repairs if needed to create a stable surface.
Expect Some Noise and Dust
Installing hardwood floors involves cutting, sanding, and securing planks in place. This process can create dust and noise, so it’s a good idea to seal off nearby rooms and plan for some disruption.
How to Clean Hardwood Floors After Installation
Once your floors are installed, keeping them clean helps maintain their beauty and longevity. Use a soft broom or microfiber mop for daily cleaning. Avoid excessive water and use only hardwood-approved cleaners. Place rugs in high-traffic areas and use protective pads on furniture legs to avoid scratches.
Installing Hardwood Floors: What to Expect
Hardwood flooring installation typically takes a few days, depending on the room size and plank type. Solid hardwood may require sanding and finishing, while prefinished hardwood can be installed more quickly.
