Hardwood flooring is one of the most beautiful ways to enhance your home. The natural warmth, timeless appeal, and durability make it a favorite among Wheat Ridge homeowners. But before you enjoy those stunning new planks, it helps to know what to expect during the installation process. At Simply Floors, our goal is to make hardwood installations stress-free from start to finish.
Preparing for installation
The first step in any hardwood project is preparation. Our team inspects the subfloor to ensure it’s level, dry, and ready to handle the new material. Any unevenness or moisture issues are addressed before installation begins. Preparing the space also includes removing old flooring, furniture, and ensuring proper acclimation of the hardwood planks.
Installation methods
Different homes call for different installation methods, and we’ll guide you in choosing the right one:
-
Nail-down installation: Ideal for solid hardwood, where planks are secured directly to the subfloor.
-
Glue-down installation: Common for engineered hardwood, especially over concrete subfloors.
-
Floating installation: Planks lock together without adhesives or nails, perfect for flexibility and faster installs.
Each method has its own advantages, and we’ll walk you through which one best suits your space.
How long does hardwood installation take?
On average, hardwood flooring installation takes several days. The timeline depends on the size of the space, the type of hardwood, and the complexity of the layout. Our team will provide a clear schedule, so you know what to expect each step of the way.
Tips for homeowners during installation
While our crew handles the heavy lifting, there are simple ways to prepare your home for a smooth process:
-
Clear furniture and belongings from the installation area.
-
Plan ahead for pets and family members to avoid disruptions.
-
Be prepared for some noise and dust — part of the process when upgrading your floors.
These small steps help us complete the project efficiently and keep everything on track.
