Flooring Installation Tips
Get ready for your new floors!
Delivery of Materials for Acclimation
Flooring such as laminate, vinyl and hardwood need to be acclimated prior to installation. We can recommend flooring acclimation time for each type.
If we are delivering materials prior to installation, please make a clear path to a 6’ x 10’ designated area for materials to be stored in your home. This must be on the first level of the home.
Please keep all pets off of and away from materials while acclimating.
Steps Before Flooring Installation
- Please pack up and remove all items from the work areas.
- This includes such items as lamps, books, décor, candles, electronics, speakers, toys, plants, futons, side tables, coffee tables and chairs.
- Remove all blankets, comforters and pillows from mattresses. Leave a sheet on mattress to protect.
- Break down all beds into pieces and store all hardware in a safe place for future use.
- McKinney Hardwood will move couches, loveseats, mattresses and broken down bed pieces as necessary. We will also move free-standing refrigerators as needed.
- McKinney Hardwood flooring does not unhook gas lines or replace any plumbing. We will remove toilets and client will need to hire licensed plumber to replace.
- McKinney Hardwood Flooring will NOT move the following items: Pianos, armoires, china cabinets, antiques, breakables, safes, filing cabinets, washing machines, dryers, wine refrigerators, ice makers or excessive small items that are listed above.
Flooring Installation Considerations
- Make sure to complete your pre-installation flooring checklist.
- Please show our craftsman where the project will take place.
- Let them know who they may contact if they have specific questions.
- A bathroom they may use if needed (#1 Only!)
- Any areas to stay away from, such as areas where pets are kept.
- Please notify the head craftsman of what to do when they are complete for the day.
- Ask your crew any flooring installation questions that you may have.
- Baseboards – Baseboards can crack and break when detaching. Replacement is the responsibility of the client. Our craftsman do no paint or caulk baseboards.
*Pets love unfinished wood. It is important to keep pets off of these materials. If a pet has an accident on the materials, they must be replaced at the client’s expense.

Charlie Nunez
Tommy and his crew were absolutely world class. The communication and transparency was perfect. The crew was efficient and the quality was spot on. Everything about my experience with McKinney Hardwood Flooring was excellent. I will be recommending to any of my friends or family that need a future project.
Annette Wooters
Due to a faulty water line installation, we had water damage to our hardwood floor in the home we just purchased. Tommy was the most informative in helping us assess our options. We ended up replacing all the engineered hardwood on the first floor of our home with LVT. Tommy’s team worked with us and our painters to complete the tear out and install quickly and beautifully. I highly recommend McKinney Hardwood Flooring!
Elisha Chapman
My husband and I wanted to redo our master bedroom, office and closet floors to match the rest of the hardwoods in the home. We were referred to Tommy by a realtor of my mom. Tommy was extremely kind and helpful. The process was extremely smooth and went wonderfully. We met with Tommy for a quote, booked same day and had the floors installed the next week. 4 gentleman, Gregorio, Marcos, Tony & Ivan all came and knocked out the project in a couple of hours. They were prompt, helpful and tidy! I highly recommend McKinney Hardwood Flooring for all your flooring needs!

I can’t say enough good things about McKinney Hardwood Flooring. The process was great from the moment we picked out our floors to the last day of work at our house. Gregorio and Marcos are so talented and did the best job ever with our hardwood floors and new baseboards. I truly can’t believe how new floors totally transformed our 20 year old craftsman style home. Juan and his crew are also super talented and artistic with their tile work, not to mention how they treated my home as if it was their mother’s house. Both the hardwood and tile teams took great care with our home and were so amazing to work with! Working with McKinney Hardwood Flooring to update and replace all of our floor was the best decision we have ever made!!!
