Hardwood floor work in Ontario Ranch and New Haven
In Ontario Ranch the usual questions are:
Builder carpet to engineered wood
Carpet and pad come up, the slab is tested for moisture, and engineered plank is glued or floated, with stairs priced as a separate line.
A new slab that is still drying
Newer concrete releases water, so the reading, not the age of the house, decides when glue can go down.
A townhome with shared walls
Written HOA approval and an acoustic underlayment with a stated sound rating before the floor goes in upstairs.
What a new slab needs
A slab poured a few years ago can still be releasing water, and an adhesive or a floating floor can fail if the reading is above the maker's limit. The in-slab humidity probe (ASTM F2170) or the calcium chloride test (ASTM F1869) comes first, and the flooring maker's written limits control.
Hardwood floors in Ontario Ranch and New Haven: questions
Can I put hardwood in a new home here?
Generally yes, as engineered wood glued or floated over a tested slab. Solid wood needs a plywood subfloor laid on the slab first.
Does an HOA need to approve a hardwood floor?
Often for attached homes and sometimes for detached ones. The CC&Rs decide, and written approval comes before the order.
