Oasis Seaside Breeze engineered oak in 7-1/2″ planks, run from the entry through the hallway, open kitchen and bedrooms. We installed before the baseboards so the trim covers the expansion gap.

We glued down engineered European white oak through the living room, kitchen, bedroom and guest unit of this home.

See our white oak projectsAbout 600 sq ft of tile and carpet removed, the slab ground and leveled with self-leveling compound, then engineered hardwood glued down. It was a two-day job: demolition and leveling on day one, installation on day two.

We supplied California Classics Aegean French oak (8″ wide, wire-brushed), took up the old floor, cleaned old adhesive off the plywood subfloor and poured self-leveling material where it was needed. Our installers then glued the planks down.

Monarch Plank Lago in Devero, laid in herringbone on the first floor, with a 6.5″ plank upstairs. We self-leveled the floors first and glued every board down, with a moisture-barrier adhesive over the concrete areas.

Buyer information
The right hardwood specification depends on the house. A 1960s slab ranch in Woodland Hills, a raised-foundation home in Tarzana and a condo in Encino each need a different answer. These are the three situations we see most often.
Solid boards are one piece of wood and need to be nailed into a wood subfloor, so we install them over raised wood subfloors. Engineered boards have a real wood wear layer over a stable core, so they tolerate the moisture and temperature swing that comes up through a slab. Many Valley homes sit on a concrete slab, and that is where we install engineered. Solid vs. engineered hardwood flooring Weighing engineered hardwood against vinyl plank for a whole house? Read engineered hardwood vs. luxury vinyl plank.
Many Valley homes sit on a concrete slab. That rules out most solid hardwood, because solid boards need to be nailed into a wood subfloor and move too much against concrete.
On slab we install engineered hardwood, usually glue-down. Engineered boards have a real wood wear layer over a stable core, so they tolerate the moisture and temperature swing that comes up through a slab. Before we quote, we test the slab for moisture. Skipping that test is the most common reason hardwood fails here, and it shows up months later as cupping or hollow-sounding boards. We do this slab testing on every job, including hardwood floor installation in Van Nuys.
More on slabs: Engineered or Solid Hardwood on a Concrete Slab?
The subfloor decides the method. Nail-down is for solid or engineered boards over a wood subfloor. Glue-down is our usual method for engineered hardwood on a concrete slab. A floating floor, laid over an underlayment, can suit some condos and some subfloors, especially where the building sets a sound rating.
| Method | Subfloor | Floor type | Underfoot | When we use it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nail-down | Raised wood subfloor | Solid or engineered | Firm, traditional feel | Raised-foundation homes |
| Glue-down | Concrete slab | Engineered | Feels solid and sounds less hollow | Most slab homes, after a moisture test |
| Floating | Slab or wood, over an underlayment | Engineered | Can sound more hollow without the right underlayment | Some condos and HOA buildings with a sound rating, and some subfloors |
We recommend the method after we check the subfloor at your free in-home estimate.
Most of the hardwood floors we install replace something else: carpet, tile, laminate, vinyl or worn-out hardwood. As a licensed flooring contractor, we take up the old floor, haul it away and prepare what is underneath, and removal is its own line on your written quote.
What turns up under the old floor decides the prep. In one Woodland Hills home, the plywood subfloor under the old flooring had adhesive residue, fastener holes and seams between sheets, so we cleaned it and poured self-leveling material where it was needed before the French oak went down. On a Woodland Hills job of about 500 sq ft with a 15-step staircase, day one was demolition, day two was floating the subfloor and cutting for the steps, and day three was the wood floor installation, baseboards and cleanup.
Before we quote, we check what’s under your floor:
What “flat and dry” means in practice: the flooring and adhesive manufacturers set the limits, and their instructions come first. NWFA guidance calls for a concrete slab that is flat to within 1/8 inch over 6 feet (or 3/16 inch over 10 feet), dry, clean and free of cracks, and new concrete isn’t moisture-tested until it is at least 30 days old. If the slab tests too wet, the fix is a vapor retarder the manufacturer approves or more drying time, and that work is listed on your quote.
From one of our project posts: in a Woodland Hills home of about 500 sq ft with a 15-step staircase, the subfloor was wavy, so we floated it and feathered it flat before installing, and used the baseboard as a skirt along the staircase. See the Woodland Hills staircase job.
Stairs are quoted separately from the flat floor, with treads, risers and nosing on their own line. On a Los Angeles job, we installed new Urban Floor Brindisi European oak treads with a matching stair nose on each step, and white risers at the client's request. In Santa Clarita, we carried 9.5″ engineered European white oak up a curved staircase, with hardwood planks across each step and coordinating stair nosings at the edge.
See the Los Angeles floor and staircase job and the curved staircase in Santa Clarita.
Many older homes already have narrow-strip oak under the carpet. If those boards are solid and thick enough, refinishing is usually cheaper than replacing. We will tell you when that is the better option. Where the boards are too thin to sand again, water-damaged, or you want a wider plank and a modern color, replacement makes sense. In post-war neighborhoods such as Northridge, ask us to check any existing oak and the subfloor during your free in-home estimate.
Most condo buildings and many HOAs set a minimum sound rating for flooring over occupied units and want the underlayment specification before approving the install. Get your building’s requirement in writing first and bring it to us. We match the underlayment to the spec so the installation is approved.
We give you the schedule at the in-home estimate, once we’ve seen the rooms and the subfloor.
Installation is quoted after we measure your rooms and check the subfloor at a free in-home estimate, because the price depends on the house. Your written quote lists each part separately:
The product you choose changes the total too: solid or engineered, species, plank width, and patterns such as herringbone.

Most floors are finished in matte, satin or semi-gloss; the choice is mostly about look and how much shine you want to maintain. We can stain to match cabinets, trim or furniture. Bring a sample to the showroom and we will hold it against real boards.
Existing floors
Many older homes already have narrow-strip oak under the carpet. If those boards are solid and thick enough, refinishing by a specialist is often cheaper than replacing. Glamour Flooring focuses on new hardwood and European white oak installation; during a free in-home estimate we can help you decide which path fits your home.

It depends on the square footage, the removal and how much subfloor prep is needed. We give you the schedule at the in-home estimate, once we have seen the rooms and the subfloor. For example, our Encino job (about 600 sq ft, with tile and carpet removal and leveling) took two days.
On a concrete slab we install engineered hardwood, usually glued down, after a moisture test. Over a raised wood subfloor we can nail down solid or engineered boards.
On a slab, glue-down is our usual method for engineered hardwood because it feels solid underfoot and sounds less hollow. A floating installation over an underlayment can suit some condos and some subfloors, especially where the building sets a sound rating. We recommend the method after we check the subfloor.

The flooring and adhesive manufacturers set the limit, and their instructions come first. A common limit for wood floors is 75% relative humidity, measured with probes set into the slab (ASTM F2170), and NWFA guidance says new concrete should be at least 30 days old before moisture testing. Above the limit, the floor needs a vapor retarder the manufacturer approves, or the slab needs more time to dry. We test the slab for moisture before we quote.
