04r1 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I need to have Hardwood floors installed in the first floor of my condo in the next week or two. I already have 1 estimate and would like to get another. Im not looking for a hack job so professionals only please. If I wanted a hack job I would do this myself. If anyone is interested, post or PM me and we can set up a time to give me an estimate. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Do them yourself. They are extremely easy to do and all the tools needed for solid hardwood is easily rented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Do them yourself. They are extremely easy to do and all the tools needed for solid hardwood is easily rented. Especially the "floating" floors. Really easy and look damn good. I did a kitchen, small dining room in an afternoon and it was the first time I'd ever done something like that.

Science Abuse Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Especially the "floating" floors. Pergo is not "hardwood" and is a first class ticket straight to carpentry hell. Hardwood, you need: Wood A joiner (for that "machined fit" look) A planer A router (substitute with table saw if you're confident) A table saw Lacquer (stain if you want.) Choose a good wood, make your joints right, and lacquer it well and it will outlive your grandkids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 You can float a hardwood. "Can", sure, but not something I'd want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 If it's the pergo (laminant) flooring, I can do it. I have done 3 bedrooms a kitchen and a half bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
