Adding new wood flooring to your home's floors is an excellent way to revive a space, add visual interest or increase your home's resale value. A simple wood floor installation can change the entire look of a room. Before work begins, there are several things you should do to prepare:

  • Sound sub-floor.  New wood flooring should be laid on a clean, smooth, level and structurally sound base.
  • Removal of items.  Remove all furnishings, draperies, paintings and other items from the room(s).
  • Protect your home.  Ensure that the space is sealed off to prevent dust and debris from infiltrating other areas of your home.
  • Acclimate.  Acclimate your hardwood flooring to its new environment.  Let it get used to the temperature and humidity levels before it's installed.
