Thank you for putting together and sharing this video. Nice useful, time saving tips. Today the wife and I ripped up carpeting on two flights and a landing. The hardwood on the landing has been a favorite relief spot for our little dogs and as much as we try to keep up with cleaning up behind them, over the years it has deeply damaged the 2 1/4" hardwood on the landing. The stair treads are in great shape and just need to have the tack holes filled and lightly sanded. We decided to take up the hardwood on the landing and replace it with tile. I was not entirely sure of the best way to go about removal and you really made it look easy. Wish me luck. Demo begins tomorrow.
That was very helpful my house is more than a hundred years old and I need to remove two boards because they're loose. It's easier than I thought but I will follow instructions. Thank you for the video I was really getting nervous
I bought a 100+ house that has solid hardwood floors on the ground floors. However, there big sections where the floors is not level and the flooring tradesman said that there is nothing that can be done about it. Is this really the case? Thanks!
@@OHFScratch that's a good point and something to think about as I'm working. My house my nest is empty and I I'm a female doing it all DIY and loving it
I'm removing glue. Poured a little acetone over the creases to loosen them without damaging adjacent boards. Smooth as butter.I'm a genius. But removing old glue is hardest lol.
+Melissa Shaler If you're trying to remove boards and save them, then you're right, this isn't the way to do it. In that case, you'll need to remove one of them with a saw and then try to pop out the rest.
Melissa ... you have to wreck one, as shown, to get access. Then you can pry out the others and try not to damage them. I slice through the nails between the flooring and subfloor with an oscillating multi tool and a metal blade, sliding it under the flooring, parallel to the floor.
You always have to wreck at least one board because of the way they interlock. They might have salvaged some of the rest. If you are adding to an area, mingling the removed boards with the new boards is one way to blend them.

Best of luck!
Thank you for not hiring someone to redo it. Hate nasty customers that keep animals that piss all over their house. 🤮

Wood is a stupid material. Houses should be made of metal.

What about when the saw hits the staples/nails in the hardwood?
If the saw is sharp enough it'll cut right through them with a few sparks.
@@OHFScratch thx man!

How do you remove the stick on ones ???
You have to cut and scrape them off the floor.
That's nailed down .. Glued down is way harder ..
Jose Bravo Yep. Removing glued boards would be hell.

What if my floor is uneven
Not relevant.
Not helpful if you want to save the boards.

You dont say...
Why would you want to remove them and then save them? Most people would be removing them due to damage.

No shit moron....
That's a shame not to reuse these beautiful hardwood floors.

Who cares? I like to reuse material but sometimes your going lose some, or the material is impractical to reuse, or there’s really no use for it.
How about next time i pull up a wood floor i dump it in your front yard. You can do what ever you want with it.
@@Deeznuts84356 I'd be fine with that, used hardwood floors ain't cheap lol
Thanks.
Nop...
Who wanna save time use a artillery tools
Not what I was looking for.
