Opting for a new hardwood floor can be an exciting process. But, like any home addition, there are preparations you should make to ensure the new flooring installation goes smoothly. For over 25 years, Carolina Wood Floors has provided Winston-Salem residents will beautiful new hardwood floors, with effortless installation.

Learn how to prepare for your new hardwood floor and what to expect after the process is completed:

• Before Installation: Move all of your breakable valuables, such as lamps and electronics, away from the area where professionals will be working.  Also, inform Carolina Wood Floors if you have ever had any issues with standing water. It could lead to future wood expansion issues.
• During Installation: If you have any children or pets, be sure to keep them away from the working area for safety. 
• After Installation: You may notice some face nailing, which is a necessary procedure to keep damage from occurring to the walls and cabinets. Often, if you’re adding on to an existing hardwood floor, there may be slight color variations. Over time, the new floor will blend into the existing one. Freshly sanded/stained floors need up to 24 hours before you can safely replace the furniture. Pre-finished hardwood floors can be used almost immediately after installation. Lastly, hang on to wood pieces left over in case of future repair needs.
