How Our Nail Down Process Works
Subfloor Evaluation
We inspect your wood subfloor for loose boards, squeaks, and level, then secure and prep it so the nailed hardwood has a solid, quiet base.
Moisture & Acclimation
We test subfloor and plank moisture levels and let the hardwood acclimate to your home's climate to prevent future gaps or cupping.
Layout & Racking
We rack the boards — distributing lengths, colors, and grain — so the finished floor looks balanced and natural rather than patterned.
Nail-Down Installation
Using pneumatic nailers on the correct fastener schedule, we secure each plank with tight seams and clean cuts at walls and doorways.
Finishing & Walkthrough
We install transitions, trim baseboards, clean the site, and review the finished floor with you to confirm every detail meets our standard.
