HARDWOOD INSTALLATION
FROM $1.00 SQ/FT


Hardwood floors work anywhere in the home. In areas where they may see water and spills, regular maintenance will keep them looking like new for years.

Hardwood floors can be installed above or below grade, on concrete slabs, over plywood subfloors, or over existing wood floors. With concrete, moisture control is essential, but can be managed with a film barrier applied directly over the concrete. Engineered wood subfloors must be screwed or nailed in place prior to installation. Some manufacturers recommend proprietary underlayments that are specially suited to installation of their hardwood floors. Once the subfloor is in place, sanded, smoothed, or filled to provide a level, even surface, installation of the boards can begin.

LAMINATE FLOOR INSTALLATION
FROM $.75 SQ/FT

One of the wonderful things about laminate flooring is that unlike traditional hardwood floors, it's simple to install. Traditional hardwood floor installation requires dealing with slightly warped lumber, nailing, gluing, sanding, and floor finishing. Laminate floors go down quick and are prefinished. And, laminate floor maintenance is simple.

Use the Best Laminate Flooring Underlayment
Flooring distributors will generally present the buyer with at least two grades of laminate underlayment ? standard and premium underlayment. What's the difference? Just thickness. Both grades are made of a felt-like material with a moisture barrier. Go ahead and spend the extra cash to get the premium grade underlayment.
The purpose of laminate flooring underlayment is two-fold. First it provides a bit of ?give? between the foot or furniture and the subfloor. This not only protects the laminate but makes up for the inevitable low and high spots on the subfloor
The other duty of underlayment is sound control. This seems illogical since it's underneath the slick surface of the laminate planks, but it does work because it's between the subfloor and the planks.

ENGINEER FLOOR INSTALLATION
FROM $1.50 SQ/FT

Engineered hardwood flooring is a product made up of a core of hardwood, plywood or HDF and a top layer of hardwood veneer that is glued on the top surface of the core and is available in almost any hardwood species. The product thus has the natural characteristics of the selected wood species as opposed to a photographic layer. The ?engineered? product has been designed to provide greater stability, particularly where moisture or heat pose problems for solid hardwood floors.
In addition to the top hardwood veneer, engineered wood flooring typically has three or more core layers. Of course, there is greater stability with more layers. The core layers may be plywood, high density fiberboard, or hardwood. For example, Vanier engineered flooring has five to seven hardwood core layers
