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.
