Hardwood floor work around Summit Heights
In Summit Heights the usual questions are:
Carpet to wood downstairs
Pad and carpet come up, the slab is tested, and engineered plank is glued or floated; stairs are priced as flat lines.
A slab twenty years old
Old concrete is usually dry, but the reading decides, not the age of the house.
Bedrooms upstairs
Wood framing allows a nailed or glued floor; a floating one needs the underlayment the maker states.
Twenty years on the builder floor
A floor laid in the 2000s is now old enough for the builder finish to look dull and for carpet to have worn through. Summers near 95°F and Santa Ana wind days with indoor humidity far below normal make new wood move, so a gap at the baseboard in late summer is normal and a floor that lifts is a symptom to investigate.
Summit Heights: hardwood floor questions
Is a 2000s slab dry enough for a glued floor?
Usually, but a test decides. The in-slab humidity probe or calcium chloride reading is compared with the maker's written limit.
Can hardwood go on the stairs of a builder home?
Yes, as treads and risers cut for the stair frame or as stair-nose caps, priced as flat step lines.
