Installing Hardwood Floors in Your Indianapolis Home
There is an art and science to the installation of hardwood floors. Professionals pay attention to the painstaking details of preparation, structural anomalies that can frustrate the most well intentioned do-it-yourselfer and the tools to do the job right the first time.
Each project is unique, but every ProSand install includes critical expertise to ensure a structurally sound and beautifully finished floor.
Timing
Before the hardwood floor installation begins, wood must acclimate to the temperature and humidity level of your home for no less than two weeks. This is an important step that can’t be rushed. We will place the wood in the location of your choice inside your home (it cannot be in the garage or on a screen porch) and will schedule your installation for approximately 2-3 weeks from delivery. This step allows your wood to expand and contract before it is laid in place.
Installation time can vary based on the size of your space, the type of original flooring being removed and whether you choose factory finished or site-finished wood. Site-finished wood will need to allow for sanding, staining, finishing and drying.
A schedule will be given to you before your job begins. And because we know that floor installation and finishing means a disruption to your daily life, our install team takes the schedule seriously and will work hard to stay true to our timeframe.
Details
Not only do we take schedules seriously, we treat your home the same way. Planks will be measured indoors but taken outside for cutting, something that our Indianapolis homeowners really appreciate. And your crew will straighten up every day before they leave.
Plus, every install project is followed by a walk-through and thorough wipe down to ensure it’s clean, even in hard to reach places. We leave every Indianapolis homeowner with some essentials at the end of a project, including adhesive furniture pads and Bona cleaning products. You’ll find this attention to detail at every stage of the process.
