choose solid or engineered wood flooring, most major manufacturers’
warranties exclude damage or defects caused by improper installation.Proper installation technique – Different types of wood
flooring require different installation methods. Professional
installers have the expertise to nail down solid wood flooring, staple
or glue engineered wood flooring, or click together a floating flooring
system. Acclimate the wood flooring planks – Your hardwood
flooring will expand and contract as it adjusts to your home’s
temperature and humidity. If this happens after the flooring is
installed, you’ll be left with large gaps between the planks. A
professional installer will open the boxes of hardwood flooring planks
four or five days before installation, and allow them to get used to the
conditions in your home.Protect your investment – A professional hardwood
flooring installer will minimize damage to your home and the flooring
itself, reduce wasted, avoid gaps and improperly aligned planks.
