So, you have been living in your home for many years now, and the pinewood floors that came with the house aren\u2019t as flattering as they were when you first moved in. Now you want to either replace the pine with a darker wood, tile, or even carpet, but you want to remove the existing floor first. How can you remove glued-down wood floors from plywood so that you can install new flooring?<\/p>\n
Removing glued-down hardwood is not an easy feat, and it would probably be best to pay a contractor to perform the task for you. However, if you are a die-hard DIYer, you certainly can do it but prepare to put in many hours of backbreaking work using tools like saws, prybars, jackhammers, or possibly, a floor-stripping machine. Once you\u2019re finished, you may even have to use an adhesive remover before installing the new flooring<\/a>.<\/p>\n
