Lay Oak Strip Flooring | |
Because of the high cost of the material and the experience level required, it's a job best left to a professional installer or a seasoned do-it-yourselfer with carpentry skills. The materials cost $1,280 and the job is long and arduous. It involves a good three days of work cutting, fitting and nailing the material in place.If you have to rip up an old floor or repair the subfloor, double, possibly triple the time estimate. You'll need a hammer, saw, mallet, chisel, chalk line and electric drill. No matter who does the work, it's a good idea to have the flooring material delivered a few days before starting the job so the wood can get acclimated to the conditions (temperature and humidity) in the room. |
