About three years ago, we had some laminate ¼” wood floors glued to the concrete in my garage which was converted to a family room. The wood was acclimated as prescribed and the floor had to be skimmed per the installers recommendation. Since that time, there have been several areas that have apparently either “cupped” from the floor or were never actually adhered due to a poor skim or trawling job by the installers. In any event, the floor now “pops” in those areas when you walk across them, which is quite annoying. Is there any way to fix these areas?

How can I stop my floors from squeaking?

I had 3/8″ oak hardwood floors installed over the solid concrete slab. The slab was not properly floated and there are areas the adhesive did not adhere to the slab or floor and there are also areas of deflection.
What can be done to repair the floor without having the installer remove and replace the new floor?

We have just bought an old house. When we removed the carpeting we discovered hardwood floors. However, each three foot strip of wood had at least three nails in them with heads, which means that we cannot sink the heads into the floor. We will have to remove all the nails, renail the floor with the correct hardwood floor nails, fill in the holes and then refinish the floors. my question is: Can we do the above (pls. suggest the right tool to remove the nails) and get the floors to look decent?

We installed floating engineered floor [click in system] all over the house last spring. In winter time some parts of the floor squeak. After stepping on them few times just went away but then come back again. It’s a new product we bought from store.

Our problem is that when walking on the 2nd floor there is a loud popping or clicking (not really a creaking) which is audible on the main floor. While walking on it upstairs it is not very noticeable, but very noticeable downstairs.

Is there any way to stop the creaking of our hardwood floor? It is beautiful but the noise is too much!

We recently put in new engineered oak flooring (5″planks) over a concrete slab and I have found a small area that doesn’t appear to have gotten a tight bond with the adhesive. Is there a way to repair this without pulling up large sections of the floor? Are there methods to get more adhesive under the planks in the problem area and then weighing down the area until it bonds and cures?

I installed an engineered bamboo floor. There are several areas where either there is unevenness in the concrete floor or the adhesive has dried out. The result is boards that are loose or springy. What are my alternatives?
