A new and improved flooring installation apparatus includes a clamping assembly for clamping onto a rigid structure below a floor board to be installed. The clamping assembly is capable of clamping onto the rigid structure at a bottom edge of the rigid structure. A handle assembly is pivotally attached to the clamping assembly. The handle assembly includes a pivoting portion for pivotally attaching to the clamping assembly. The handle assembly includes a lever arm portion connected to the pivoting portion. The handle assembly includes a handle grip connected to the lever arm portion. A board pusher assembly is connected to the lever arm portion of the handle assembly, such that, when the clamping assembly is clamped onto a rigid structure, and when a force is exerted on the handle grip in a direction toward a floor board, the board pusher assembly is capable of pushing against the floor board. A ratcheting assembly in conjunction with a pawl assembly locks the handle assembly into a force-exerting position when the lever arm portion is pushing against the board pusher assembly. A disengaging assembly is provided for disengaging the pawl assembly from the ratchet teeth assembly. A mechanized nail driving machine may also be provided. A support assembly attaches the mechanized nail driving machine to the ram member. A nailing machine actuator is attached to the lever arm portion in the vicinity of the handle grip.
