Solid Hardwood Floors Installation Process
At Wood Floors of Dallas, we take great pride in delivering top-quality solid hardwood floors. Our installation process is divided into multiple stages, ensuring you get the best result for your home. The entire project typically takes about 21 days, although larger or more complex jobs may take longer. We'll be with you every step of the way, addressing any questions and ensuring your satisfaction.
Step-by-Step Process:
Acclimation (1 Week Before Installation)
We deliver your solid hardwood floors to your home or business a week before installation to allow them to acclimate to the environment.
Preparation
- Tape and cover cabinets, windows, appliances, doors, and décor.
- Remove baseboards and shoe molding if necessary.
- Demolition: Remove existing flooring (tile, carpet, wood, etc.).
- Grind floors and remove any sealants or adhesives.
- Sweep and vacuum floors.
- Float and level floors using Plani Patch for a smooth surface.
Installation
- Ensure floors are clean and level before starting.
- Lay down a 6-mil poly, plywood subfloor, and felt over it.
- Install solid hardwood floors throughout the designated areas.
- Let floors acclimate for another week to prevent expansion issues.
Refinishing
- Sand, buff, and hand-scrape (if needed) the floors.
- Stain the floor and allow it to dry before applying sealant. (We will create samples for the client to approve the stain selection.)
- Apply multiple coats of sealant to protect and finish the floor.
- Reset baseboards and install shoe molding if necessary.
Clean-Up
- Remove all tarps and coverings.
- Wipe down floors and baseboards to ensure everything is spotless.
- Final walk-through with you to answer any questions and ensure you're completely satisfied with your new floors.
