Hardwood Floor Replacement

Enhance the aesthetic appeal and increase the value of your home with gleaming hardwood floors. However, even the most durable hardwood floors will eventually show signs of wear and tear, requiring replacement. But fear not, with the right approach and preparation, replacing hardwood floors can be a seamless process.

Begin by meticulously scraping away the existing flooring, whether by renting a floor scraper or utilizing an oscillating multitool with a scraper blade attachment. Ensure that every trace of old adhesive is removed from the subfloor as well.

Next, prepare the subfloor for installation by smoothing over any cracks or low spots with a concrete patching compound on concrete subfloors and replacing any damaged boards on wood subfloors.

Now, it’s time to lay the foundation for your beautiful new hardwood floors. Choose between nails or staples, depending on the type of flooring, and ensure the correct size is used while leaving enough space between each board for expansion. Once all the boards are installed, tap them into place using a rubber mallet to eliminate any gaps.

To complete the look, apply either stain or polyurethane sealer, depending on the desired level of protection against wear and tear. Apply two or three coats of sealer and allow each coat to dry before applying the next one. Once dry, your new hardwood floors will be ready for use, adding a touch of elegance to your home.

Replacing hardwood floors may seem daunting, but with a step-by-step approach and proper preparation, it can be a simple and rewarding task. Create a stunning visual impact with new hardwood floors in your home, effortlessly.
