Today I am going to show you everything you need to know for Hardwood Floor Installation (Nail Down) Like a pro! Installing hardwood floors for the first time is not hard at all and you don't really need any special tools. Having some more specialized tools, like any project, makes the floor install process much faster but floor can be installed without them if necessary.

Items / Tools you will need: -Underlayment, roofing felt or tar paper will work, or purchase something that is a bit thicker and will help make the hardwood flooring a bit quieter. -Staple gun for the underlayment -Belt sander if your subfloor has any unevenness -Method to make some cuts; circular saw, miter saw, jigsaw or oscillating tool. Don't need all of them but again, they make things move faster. -A framing nailer to start and finish the floor is necessary, you can floor everything with this nailer but a flooring nailer will give you better results much faster. -Chalk like, tape measure, hammer and crow bar. -Obviously you need some hardwood flooring. Make sure it has been in the room for 10-14 days to acclimate.
