Frank VandePutte - Wood Floors & Stairs 

If you think anyone can install a wood floor, think again!  Hiring a professional can mean the difference between Beauty that Lasts a Lifetime and a frustrating waste of money.  We can help you choose the right product for your needs, tastes, and budget.  Frank will make sure moisture levels are correct, make any necessary repairs to your sub-floor, secure your sub-floor to the floor joists, sand or shim your subfloor flat to the manufacturers specifications, and correctly install your floor.  All of the filling and sanding in the world can't correct a bad installation, so get it done right.

The National Wood Flooring Association recommendations regarding solid wood flooring:  HVAC must be in operation before, during and after installation. A temperature of 70 degrees F ±10 degrees and a relative humidity between 30–50 percent is recommended. Heating units or uninsulated ductwork close to the flooring or subfloor may cause hot spots, which must be eliminated prior to installation. Moisture testing is critical. Confirm proper drainage exists around the structure. In crawl spaces, exposed earth must be fully covered with minimum six mil polyethylene sheeting. Unconditioned crawl space vents must be open at all times and must equal at least 1.5 percent of the total square footage of the crawl space. Basements must be dry and remain dry. 

We will install your choice of prefinished or site-finished flooring. Call Sherrie at 248-627-5643 for an in home estimate.
