Project Overview
This project involves the installation of approximately 2,184 square feet of unfinished No. 2 Common Grade Red Oak hardwood flooring, along with the installation of 8 linear feet of Red Oak stair nosing. The scope includes underlayment installation, professional nail-down hardwood installation, sanding, staining, and finishing to create a seamless and durable hardwood floor throughout the home.
Scope of Work
The project begins with the delivery of all flooring materials and the installation of black felt paper underlayment to provide a moisture barrier and improve floor performance.
New unfinished No. 2 Common Grade Red Oak hardwood flooring will be installed using a professional nail-down method with the appropriate flooring staples and finish nails to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation.
Once the installation is complete, the new hardwood flooring will be sanded smooth, stained in the homeowner's selected color, and finished with multiple coats of protective finish for durability and a beautiful appearance.
The project also includes the installation and refinishing of 8-foot Red Oak stair nosings to provide a clean, matching transition between the flooring and staircase.
All work areas will be cleaned, and project-related debris will be removed upon completion.
Key Benefits
Installing unfinished hardwood allows the entire floor to be sanded and finished on site, creating a seamless appearance with no factory bevels or visible height differences.
The nail-down installation method provides excellent stability and long-term durability, while the black felt underlayment helps reduce moisture transfer and improves overall floor performance.
Because the floor is finished after installation, the stain color and sheen can be fully customized to match the homeowner's style.
Project Outcome
The finished result will be a beautiful new Red Oak hardwood floor with a smooth, consistent finish and matching stair nosings. The professionally installed and site-finished flooring will provide a timeless appearance, increased durability, and lasting value for the home.
