Demolition and construction
The next step is removing the old flooring and any residue. However, before this process, we let the hardwood boards acclimate to the room temperature and humidity to avoid damage. We will remove the carpet strips and baseboards, if any, leaving the floor bare for installation.
After this, the builders will locate the joists, cut the casing, and secure the underlayment. It is to ensure it is running the lengths perpendicular to posts. From here, the builders will install the planks, making sure to fit every corner.
Final touches
Depending on your preferences, we can refinish your hardwood floor, making the work easier and more cost-effective. It allows the installation of hardwood flooring in kitchens and half-baths. If you prefer unfinished wood flooring, it will require sanding and finishing after installation. It might take several days to finish.
Methods we use to install hardwood flooring
Nail down
It is the most conventional hardwood flooring installation in Los Angeles. It involves nailing the planks to the subfloor. We use a nail gun to ensure the nails go into the tongue of the planks. To ensure optimal contraction and expansion, we leave a space of 1/4” to 3/8” between the wall and flooring. While a traditional method, it is the most complicated.
Staple down
With this method, we can use both solid and engineered wood flooring. While the process is similar to nail-down, it uses staples rather than nails. The advantage of using this method is that staples provide a firmer grip on your wood planks.
Glue down
We use this method for a variety of wood flooring. It is also ideal for creating unique designs thanks to its flexibility. Besides, most types of flooring are sold as glue-down products. We ensure to use VOC-free adhesives. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) produce toxins that harm pets and humans.
Floating
Also known as the snap-together or click-together method, it locks flooring using grooves in each plank. Unlike other methods, we do not attach the floors to the subfloor. Rather, the floor stays in place thanks to the planks’ pressure and the surrounding walls. It is by far the easiest method and the most cost-effective.
