Selection to Installation: Your Complete Guide to Hardwood Floor Projects
Manage episode 478644582 series 3657306
What Should I Expect During The Flooring Installation Process?
Ever stood in a showroom staring at countless wood samples wondering what happens next? Hunter Ross, owner of Wood Floors of Dallas with over two decades of industry expertise, pulls back the curtain on the entire hardwood flooring installation journey.
The podcast begins by outlining what happens after you make that first call. From the initial in-home measurement to product selection and scheduling, Hunter explains how his team typically gets projects on the calendar within just two weeks—significantly faster than industry averages. He then dives deep into the differences between solid hardwood (nail-down), engineered (glue-down), and click-lock installations.
For solid hardwood enthusiasts, Hunter reveals the meticulous process that many contractors gloss over. Did you know your new floors need to acclimate twice? First for a week before installation, then for another 4-7 days after installation before sanding and finishing can begin. This careful approach ensures your hardwood floors remain stable and beautiful for decades.
The conversation shifts to why someone might choose engineered over solid hardwood. Beyond the faster installation timeline, Hunter highlights the superior stability of engineered products, which eliminates the creaking that can develop in solid floors over time.
