In this episode of FloorTalk, FLOOR Trends & Installation’s Beth Miller interviews Jose Molar, a skilled flooring contractor, about a challenging hardwood installation project using Floors Inc. materials and Bostik adhesive.

Molar shares the technical difficulties he faced, including managing humidity issues, making precise custom cuts around doorjambs, and working around columns in the middle of rooms where everything had to fit perfectly with no room for error.

Molar discusses his meticulous approach to quality, explaining how he hand-selected each individual hardwood board and refused to install any piece that didn't meet his standards. He carefully adjusted stagger patterns until completely satisfied with the appearance, noting that the significant investment in materials warranted this extra time and attention to detail.

The episode showcases the difference between rushing through a job and taking the time to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, with Molar emphasizing how his patient, selective process resulted in a superior finished product that justified the love and time invested in the project.
