What To Expect
Hardwood flooring is one of the most timeless ways to elevate the look and feel of your home. With the right product selection and proper installation, wood floors can add warmth, character, and long-term value to a wide range of spaces.
At Carpet Land, we help you choose a hardwood flooring option that fits your style, budget, and performance needs. Professional installation is an important part of that process, helping ensure your new floors look right, wear properly, and meet manufacturer requirements.
Hardwood Installation Methods
An experienced installer knows the differences between the various types of wood flooring available and will have the required skills and tools needed to do the job right.
Pro Tip: Professionally installed hardwood floor is more likely to be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, such as a Shaw hardwood floor warranty. If installing yourself, always check the manufacturer’s guidelines first.
The method used to install your new flooring is determined in part by the width, thickness, and construction of the flooring you’ve chosen and where you want it installed.
Solid Hardwood Floor Installation
Solid hardwood flooring can be installed using fastening methods such as:
- Stapling
- Nailing
- Gluing to the subfloor layer
Solid hardwood floors do not respond well to changes in temperature and humidity, so they are not recommended for applications below the grade line of your property. Since wood naturally expands and contracts, proper installation techniques must be followed to prevent warping or gaps over time.
For a hardwood flooring project in your:
- Basement
- Bathroom
- Gkitchen
Engineered hardwood flooring may be a better choice because it has no issues with seasonal changes in climate.
Preparing for Hardwood Floor Installation
Proper preparation ensures a smooth, successful hardwood flooring installation. Follow these simple steps before your project begins:
Hardwood requires a flat, clean subfloor. Existing flooring may need to be removed—especially if it’s glued down or installed with tile adhesive.
Our expert installers handle all prep work, using the right tools and techniques to get your space ready the right way.
All furniture must be removed from the installation area unless you’ve arranged for our team to handle it. If you have unusually large, heavy, or delicate items, please notify our team in advance so we can prepare the proper equipment and manpower to move them safely and efficiently.
Take down any photos, art, or wall hangings that could be bumped or damaged during the process.
Consider a Moving Service
For large or fragile items, a moving company can quickly and safely prepare your home, minimizing downtime.
During and After Installation
- An adult member of your household (age 18 or older) should greet your installer and show them to the work area.
- Be sure to get a walkthrough of the job from the lead installer to give you a clear idea of what the work involves and ask them any questions you have about the job.
- To ensure everyone’s safety and to help the job go smoothly, keep children and pets away from the work area for the duration of the job.
- Stay off your new floors for the required amount of time after the job is done. The stain and varnish that has been used on the surface will need time to cure properly. The lead installer will be able to advise you on how long it takes to install hardwood flooring and when you can walk on it.
- If the smell of varnish or stain bothers you, open windows for ventilation or stay out of the house until the air has had time to clear.
- Make sure heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are functioning, as stable indoor conditions are essential for hardwood installation.
- Discuss any concealed plumbing, wiring, or supply lines that could be affected during the work.
