Professional Hardwood Installation Starts with Proper Preparation

A quality hardwood floor installation begins before the first board is installed. We evaluate the subfloor and jobsite conditions to determine the appropriate preparation and installation method for the flooring.

Subfloor Evaluation

The subfloor is evaluated for suitability, stability, and overall condition before hardwood installation begins.

Flatness

Proper subfloor flatness is important for a stable and professional installation. Uneven conditions are identified before the flooring is installed.

Moisture Conditions

Moisture conditions of the hardwood and subfloor are considered before installation, along with the requirements of the flooring manufacturer.

Proper Installation Method

The installation method is selected according to the flooring dimensions, subfloor conditions, manufacturer requirements, and the needs of the project.

Hardwood Flooring Installation Methods

The proper installation method depends on the flooring, subfloor, board width, manufacturer requirements, and overall project conditions.

RZR Hardwood Flooring selects the installation system according to the flooring, jobsite conditions, subfloor, and manufacturer requirements.

The Right Installation Method Starts With the Subfloor

A professional hardwood floor installation begins before the first board is installed. We evaluate the conditions that determine the proper installation system for each project.

Subfloor

Wood and concrete subfloors require different preparation and installation methods

Moisture

Moisture conditions are evaluated to determine the appropriate protection and installation system.

Flooring

Flooring type, construction, and board width help determine whether nail-down, glue assist, or full glue-down is appropriate.

Jobsite Conditions

Subfloor condition, flatness, project location, and manufacturer requirements are considered before installation begins.

The goal is not simply to install hardwood flooring — it is to select the right system so the floor performs properly for years to come.
