Excited for Your Hardwood Installation Day? Here’s What to Know!
Choosing the perfect hardwood is a big step, and installation day is just around the corner! Our team is here to make the process smooth and stress-free. Here’s what you can do to get ready and what to expect on the big day.
How to Prepare for Hardwood Installation
A little prep work goes a long way toward a successful installation:
- Clear the space: Move furniture and fragile items out of the room or let us know if you’d like help. Make sure nothing—like drapes or plants—hangs over the installation area.
- Check your doors: If the new flooring is thicker, door bottoms might need trimming. Plan ahead to have them adjusted if needed.
- Finish remodeling first: Painting, wallpapering, or other updates? Complete them before installation day and save some extra paint for touch-ups!
What to Expect During and After Installation
Here’s how to make installation day go smoothly:
- Be available: Be home to greet the installers, show them the work area, and answer any questions.
- Keep it safe: Make sure kids and pets stay clear of the work area—it can get busy and hazardous.
- Inspect the results: Once the job is done, do a walk-through to check the finished floor and ask any questions. We want you to be thrilled with your new hardwood!
With just a little preparation, your hardwood installation will be a breeze, and your space will look amazing!
Simple Tips to Keep Your Hardwood Floors Beautiful
With a little care, your hardwood floors can stay stunning for years. Clean up spills immediately using a damp cloth, and never let liquids sit on the surface. Avoid harsh cleaning methods like steel wool, soap, or wet mops, as these can damage your floors. Use doormats at entrances, add protective pads to furniture, and sweep or vacuum regularly with a hard floor attachment to prevent scratches. For occasional cleaning, a damp mop works well. Always check your manufacturer’s care guidelines for the best results!
