DIY Hardwood Flooring… The First Steps
November 8, 2009
The shopping is over and your spouse is excited!
You’ve made your choice and its time to start installing your new hardwood flooring.
Once you get your flooring home, begin with these steps:
- Clear the room of everything possible (including the baseboard)
- Remove old floor covering if necessary
- Take off the doors in the room for ease of undercutting
- Set up your work station
- Undercut everything possible
- Do the necessary floor preparation
These steps are approximately 1/3 of the job. Although every situation is different for a hardwood floor installation, the steps are basically the same.
With some installations being on concrete, some on wood, some over crawl spaces, …etc. , you will have to learn the specifics for your own unique situation when it comes to the floor preparation step.
Once you make it through the floor preparation step you are on your way to a brand new look for your home.
Take your time, and enjoy your project!
Oh, and by the way Having Fun is the mandatory first step to any project!
