We floated this floor the customer was flooded and didnt want the floor to be glued down. They were impressed with the Scuff resistance of the Pebble Hill Hickory and the hardness of hickory and the Epic core. This floor took my guys 6 hours to lay 1000 sq ft. And as always we swept up.

How to install hardwood

These are the beginning pictures of how to install a hardwood floor. You see the guys scrapping up all the staples from the padding they have removed the old floor and staples and swept the room clean. There is a special saw we use called an undercut saw to cut out the door jambs so the wood can slide up under the doorway and a jack we use to tighten the boards by the wall. You can use a handsaw or a reciprocating saw to undercut the door jambs and a block of wood and a prybar for a jack. But all the tools are pictured and at the top you can see the finished product.

You will need: 3/4 nailer air hose compressor chop saw table saw rubber mallet taping block pry bar knife hand saw finish nailer to complete this job. We also use a carpenters square and a chaulk line to make sure our lines are straight.

In this case the customer wants the hardwood to butt up next to the tile. So my guys are squaring the wood to the tile. The black paper on the floor is 15 pound roofing felt used as a sound and moisture barrier.

They get the first line of hardwood to the wall lay out the floor (Rack out) to make sure the butt ends dont line up and nail until they can not get the nailer up to the wall the final boards are glued and top nailed in.

How to seam carpet

Im Sorry these pictures are out of order but they do show my guys have the carpet in the room set their main stretch and are making the seam.

They have the main piece cut and situated in the room.

Now that they have row cut both sides of the seam and the tape is under the carpet they are ready to start

They place the iron on the tape allowing the glue to melt

Then move the iron along the tape about 6 inches to a foot the iron should glide on the wet glue.

With your fingers bring both edges together so there is not a gap.

Roll the seam with the tractor roller to push the glue in the backing of the carpet.

Place a weight on the seam.

Move the iron up another notch so you can proceed making the seam.

The Carpet is already powerstretched in the length of the carpet and held on by the pins of the tack strip.

After the seam has dried about 45 minutes we will proceed in stretching in the other direction.

You will notice that the carpet is tucked in under the baseboard on the wall and is straight this is important because we have to tie this carpet in with the hallway carpet after this seam is done we will proceed to seam the bedroom carpet to the hallway carpet.
