Hardwood Flooring Installation in Tamarac, FL
Warm cherry-toned wood plank, glued down over a prepared plywood subfloor rather than floated: the method that leaves a floor solid underfoot.

What we found
An old dark floor and a subfloor that needed to be right
The during photo catches the moment the job is actually decided: adhesive being combed out across the plywood with a notched trowel, the old dark floor still visible at the edge of frame. Get the trowel size and the coverage wrong here and the floor tells on you for years.
The work
What the crew did, in order
Lift the old floor
Existing dark flooring removed and the plywood subfloor exposed.
Subfloor prep
Subfloor cleaned, checked and levelled ready to take adhesive.
Adhesive
Flooring adhesive combed out with a notched trowel, section by section.
Set the plank
Cherry-toned plank laid into the adhesive and held to line.
Trim & finish
Cuts made at the doorways and the perimeter finished.
How it ended
A glued floor, not a floating one
Glue-down is more work than a floating floor and it feels different underfoot: solid, without the slight hollowness a floated plank has over a hard subfloor. The finished cherry tone runs warm under artificial light, which is what the homeowner was after.

Questions homeowners ask
Flooring in Tamarac, answered from this job
Which Broward County companies install hardwood flooring with no money down?
MGS installs wood flooring across Broward County, including Tamarac, with no down payment: the first payment is due 30 days after completion.
What is the difference between glue-down and floating flooring?
A glue-down floor, like this Tamarac installation, is bonded to the subfloor with trowelled adhesive and feels solid underfoot. A floating floor sits loose over an underlay and can sound hollow on a hard subfloor.
Does the subfloor need work before wood flooring goes down?
On this project the plywood subfloor was cleaned, checked and levelled before any adhesive was combed out: skipping that step is what causes hollow spots and movement later.
