- Anyone can install nail down hardwood flooring and it looks AWESOME!
Last time on my home renovation series, we laid down some floating hardwood floor in our bonus room conversion. It's a great product but a bit too expensive to carry throughout the entire house. For the rest of the home, we decided to nail down hardwood floor so that we could spend the money on a harder, nicer looking wood.
Nailing down flooring is something that ANYONE can do and it not only makes the rooms look nicer, but also adds value to the home over all!
The first step is to clean up the subfloor, getting it free of all debris including staples. Then add a layer of underlayment as a moisture barrier.
When laying the actual floor, the first few rows will need to be nailed down by hand. After you get far enough from the walls, you can use a pneumatic nailer to make the process go MUCH faster!
This entire room took me about a day an a half to complete.

You make that look so easy. If my wife sees this video, I will have another project on my list. 😀
Always lay down temporarily a set of boards from your starting wall to the opposite one to make sure you won't end up with very narrow boards at the end (last row).
You nailed it with this one. Wood love a floor like that
Removing carpet is quite the chore, those tack strips are the worst construction material to have to demo and deal with, really liked the carpet padding trick! Floors came out looking great, Bob.
I love the home series! I've told myself when I buy a house I will do a good chunk of Reno myself to save money, and these videos come in so handy! Thanks Bob👍🏼
That floor shot in the end was amazing. Now I want this!
The floor looks amazing! Super excited to see the house coming together bit by bit :)
Nice simple video. One tip from my experience: check for squeaks in the sub-floor once the carpet is pulled. You can use some deck screws to eliminate those squeaks before the new floor is installed. Once it's installed, you'll never have that chance again.
as someone who just bought his first home I am super excited for the rest of this series. Keep up the good work!
This house is already looking completely different than I remember, keep it up Bobby!
Back in the day, before RUclips is what it is today, I used to love watching HGTV and other stations like that on cable (remember cable?) and now I can't get enough of this stuff from you Bob. Gives me inspiration to get back to my home reno's!
I am so happy to see another video in this series. All this hard work is going to pay off.
Awesome work, Bob! I'm a big fan of the flush transitions. It's a small detail that most people skimp on, but man does it look great.
Hey Bob, as someone who just moved to a new house, this was really cool to watch. Good job on your floors they look nice
Im really glad you are doing these "home" videos with your new place, nice tips and tricks! Love that finished floor too!
Floors look great Bob. I like the transitions at the doorways, very clean look. Great job.
Wow! I thought it was going to be more complicated to do but you showed us how easy it actually is. Great video!
I want to be you when I grow up Bob. Thank you for a great video!
I'm actually doing this on Saturday. Great timing, great job!
