Hardwood installation

 
One of our installation professionals will visit your home to take measurements and get a feel for the space. During this appointment, make sure to ask any questions you may have about the process or the installation timeline. In general, once the installation has begun, that area will be off limits until the installation is complete, so keep this in mind when planning ahead.

Getting ready for your installation

 
Before the installation begins, your hardwood will be delivered to the job site so it can properly acclimate to the temperature and moisture conditions of your home. Home climate conditions are crucial to a successful installation and lifetime of enjoyment with your hardwood flooring. Keep your home climate controlled year-round, especially during installation.

Our team is available to move all furniture out of the room, a service you can arrange with us in advance. You're also welcome to do this step yourself, but please have all furniture and anything else in the room moved out or cleared away before our team arrives if this is the case.
 

During your installation

 
Once the installation starts, expect there will be lots of noise and dust, despite the best efforts of our installers to limit any inconvenience. Any issues with the subfloor will be dealt with first, and then our installers will move on to laying the hardwood.

After your hardwood installation

 
Our installers may advise you to stay off your new floor for a short time to let everything settle and dry. Before you move the furniture and appliances back into place and reorganize the room, consider placing floor protectors underneath anything that will come in direct contact with the floor to avoid scratches or indentations.
