Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Helped me Successfully Install my Hardwood Floor:
Good Book Overall, But Some Flaws: Overall, this book will give you the information you need to install and finish a new hardwood floor or re-finish an existing hardwood floor as painlessly as possible. The subject is covered thoroughly, from choosing lumber types and patterns to types and methods of finishing. However, I strongly suggest that one hint made by the author be ignored completely. On page 111 and perhaps other pages of the Sanding and Finishing chapter of the 1990 edition of the text, the author proposes the use of a floor... A "must read" for hardwood do-it-yourselfers: Author Don Bollinger stares in, writes, or is quoted in just about every video or book about installing, sanding and finishing hardwood flooring. I came across his video 15yrs ago while researching my first hardwood project. Of the four books I checked out from the library on the topic he was pictured and quoted in all of them. He is a master of his trade and in this book he lays out the very basic and clear steps to a beautiful floor. I read this book again before every flooring project and finely I just... Great book. Very helpful: I bought the book and the DVD and both provided information very useful for my first DIY install of hardwood flooring.
