HOW TO REMOVE HARDWOOD FLOORING EASY

[@zachculbertson3323]

A good tip is to use a circular saw, and a 60” demolition bar (2 prong forked is my preferred favorite) it makes things go by WAY faster and not as much wear on your body. I can demo a big house of hardwood floor in a half day using a set up like I just described. Yours and i methods are very similar, just bigger tools make it go by faster and easier. Not bashing the video at all you did a very good presentation, I was just helping someone out who may be doing a whole house tear out who never has, that the tools I listed will speed the process a ton. Keep up the good work man!

[@osmanalberta]

you are really good installer sir, any advice on how to remove easy k3 plywood and remove lino on k3 ? thank you so much

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

How thick is the plywood, are you referring to a quarter inch underlayment

[@osmanalberta]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys yes sir i am i usually had to remove lino and plywood sometimes its really hard it takes a lot of time and effort i was wondering do you have any tip for it.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@osmanalberta I always will take them up together, I just treat it like a single board and cut it in strips about 6 inches wide or so and take it up in strips, much easier like that instead of trying to take up a whole piece

Do floor scrapers work alright for glued floor residue?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes it is a concrete floor a lot of work and you will need sharp blades

[@susieq1291]

Did your saw cut through the staples? Because when mine did, sparks flew!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes it did

[@Redandranger]

That looks more like a snap-lock floor than a nail down type. We're looking at 3/4" nail down hardwood. Concerns about trashing the subfloor as well as hitting nails with the saw blade.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You cannot avoid it but it won’t cause any physical harm it will just dull your blade faster than normal but that is how you have to do it.

[@macleanclassics]

This way looks very hard on the back and knees... especially that sander bent over like that.

Good video !

[@jasonnagorski393]

Couldn’t you use a sanding disc on a 4 inch grinder to get the staples up? Seem it would be easier.

[@manuelacosta007]

No way to remove all the staples. Jajajajajaj. How long will take for you to remove the small section.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Just a few minutes
