I liked that you had mentioned that before installing flooring it can be crucial to examine your subfloor and make sure it’s in a decent condition to put flooring over. My wife and I have been working on a home for a while now just to fix everything up and one thing we’re wanting to do is put new flooring in. Since I wouldn’t know how to make sure whether or not the subfloor is fine, I’ll have to look for a professional to handle the full install.

I like that you mentioned how you will need a lot of equipment to make it go smoothly. My brother is looking to do some flooring installation but lacks the proper tools. I’ll be sure to talk to him about finding a professional company who has the right tools to get the job done.

I never knew that hardwood flooring could expand or contract as the moisture level changes even after proper acclimation. I imagine that many attempted DIY projects have probably faced challenges due to that aspect. A professional who has worked in hardwood before seems like the best choice to install the flooring.

Adding the step of examining the subfloor is extremely important since others would term this as a foundation. Checking the subfloor must also be done with a careful study as the how this part reacts in climate changes or extreme temperature hike or drop. Some cases like during rainy days, this part tends to draw in moisture, which can be harmful to the floor itself.

Great instructions. I think that if more clan realized how simple it is to repair your own scratches in your hardwood plot they would certainly do it themselves !

We live in a cold climate where wood expands and contracts depending on the season. Personally, I’d never recommend somebody to install wood flooring on their own if they didn’t have enough work experience. If you make one error on the first piece off wood that can throw off the entire project. It’s best to have a professional install your flooring.

This is why knowing about the various parts of a home or building and their functions can be beneficial. It is indeed nice to see a well maintained and shiny hardwood flooring when you enter one’s home or any business establishment. If your do not care for your flooring, it will become an eyesore and it will no longer complement the overall appearance of your abode. Aside from that, if your hardwood floor is not smooth, you or your children might have accidents like that of having a splinter after tripping.

Adding to the 3rd tip: As well as checking that the first row is laid straight, make sure that the boards are not warped or curved before you lay them.
