When it comes to floor installation, there are many decisions to be made before the property owner can enjoy their breathtaking new flooring that will last for many years to come. It all begins with the decision to use hardwood in the first place and continues down through the installation process to the final finishes. The most experienced and knowledgeable hardwood flooring installer can guide the homeowner through this procedure.

The first step is the removal of the old floor and preparation of the sub flooring to accept the new hardwood securely. Unless there is a perfect sub floor in place, the hardwood floor installer will create one and nail it down in securely, so you won’t experience creaky or squeaky floors in the future.

The measurements used to construct sub floors are now used for ordering the proper lengths of hardwood floor material. The homeowner should have already chosen what variety of wood he or she wanted. There are both rustic and better grades depending on the number of knots or imperfections allowed. The hardwood flooring installer can put in either unfinished or pre-finished boards.

After the flooring installations are done securing all the boards to the floor, the whole thing can be finished with the stain and sealant to keep it protected for its very long life.
