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.

Professional nail-down hardwood floor installation

Nail-Down Installation

Traditional solid hardwood installation over a properly prepared wood subfloor. An appropriate black flooring paper is used as part of the installation system, followed by professional mechanical fastening.

Professional nail-down and glue-assist hardwood floor installation

Nail-Down + Glue Assist

For wider hardwood flooring or installations requiring additional support, mechanical fastening is combined with professional Bona adhesive and the appropriate moisture-protection system.

Professional full glue-down hardwood floor installation

Full Glue-Down Installation

When the flooring or project requires a fully adhered installation, RZR uses professional Bona adhesive systems together with the appropriate moisture protection based on the subfloor and installation requirements.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Raul was great! His work is excellent and our floors, which he refinished, look amazing. His work is of the highest quality. He is an expert and it shows in his work. He was detail oriented, very clean, punctual and always responded quickly whenever we emailed or texted him.  He always listened to us and took our questions seriously.  Very respectful. And when I say there was almost no dust, I mean it!! He uses special equipment that really does the job.  I 100% recommend Raul!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RZR Hardwood Flooring did a fantastic job refinishing the hardwood floors in my home in Glenview. Raul gave the floors a beautiful natural finish using Bona products, and the results speak for themselves. From start to finish, the process was professional, tidy, and clearly communicated. Raul’s attention to detail really shows in the final result. Midway through the job, I also asked Raul to swap out the vents. Even though it fell outside the original scope, he took the extra time to walk me through the process and get it done right. I’d highly recommend RZR Hardwood Flooring to anyone in Glenview or nearby looking for quality hardwood floor refinishing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After purchasing our home, we originally hired RZR Hardwood Flooring to install new solid hardwood floors only on the first floor. However, after seeing the quality of the installation, craftsmanship, and professionalism throughout the project, we decided to continue with the stairs and the entire second floor as well. Raul helped us choose the right wood and guided us through the color selection process to achieve the exact look we wanted. The final stain color and finish turned out absolutely beautiful and completely transformed our home. The entire hardwood floor installation and refinishing process was clean, organized, and professionally managed from start to finish. We highly recommend RZR Hardwood Flooring for anyone looking for high-quality solid hardwood floor installation, custom stain colors, and exceptional craftsmanship.
