How to Prepare Your Home for Hardwood Floor Installation

Preparing your home for hardwood floor installation helps ensure a smooth process and beautiful results.

Before Installation Day

1. Clear the Area Remove all furniture, rugs, and decorations from the rooms being worked on.

2. Acclimate the Wood Hardwood needs to acclimate to your home's humidity for 3-5 days before installation.

3. Address Subfloor Issues Ensure your subfloor is level, clean, and dry.

4. Plan for Dust Even with dustless systems, some dust is inevitable. Cover vents and seal off other rooms.

5. Arrange Alternative Living You may need to stay elsewhere during installation, especially if the main living areas are affected.

Day of Installation

• Be available for questions
• Keep pets secure
• Provide clear access to the work area
