How to Remove Glued Wood Flooring and Engineered Wood Flooring on Concrete

Steps and tips for how to remove glued down engineered wood flooring on concrete with a pry bar and a hammer in my home. With 3 ways to remove the flooring adhesive (glue) from the concrete.
For 1 room jobs, I prefer to just use a pry bar and hammer to remove glued down wood flooring and engineered flooring on concrete. For multiple rooms, you'll probably want to rent a heavy duty floor stripper, or something similar from your local tool rental store.

First, you need to find a starting point. I happened to have a loose board, due to a window leak during Hurricane Harvey. But, this room connects to a carpeted hallway. Starting with a board along that carpeted spot would have been easy too.

Another way to start in a room is to cut a 1′ x 1′ wide square of flooring with a circular saw. So, to do this, set the depth of the saw to slightly less than the depth of the flooring. If your flooring is 1/2″ thick, set the saw depth to about 3/8″ deep.

That way you can cut your square without hitting the concrete pad. Once the square is cut in the flooring, use the pry bar and hammer or flooring chisel and hammer to remove the flooring from that section.

Once you have that square removed, you’ll have access to the boards around it. And, can begin to pry up the boards with a pry bar and a chisel.
