The biggest changes usually come from measured room size, existing flooring removal, subfloor prep, stairs, transitions, trim, and how many separate areas need work. Worcester has humid months that reach about 76% humidity, summer highs average about 80F, there are about 7.8 days above 90F each year, so spring and fall are usually the easiest seasons for flooring installation while hotter summer periods need more attention to acclimation, storage, and jobsite conditions.
