How to choose flooring installers
- 1
Ask what's included besides the floor
Tearing out the old floor, hauling it away, subfloor repair, moving furniture and new trim are often extra. Get each one listed.
- 2
Measure for waste
Installers order extra to cover cuts and mistakes, usually more for tile and patterns. Ask how much they've allowed so you aren't short mid-job.
- 3
Ask about moisture
Concrete slabs and basements need a moisture test before wood or laminate goes down. Skipping it can ruin a new floor.
- 4
Know what the warranty covers
The manufacturer covers the product. The installer covers the workmanship. Ask how long each lasts and what voids them.
FAQ
Questions about flooring installers
Which flooring is best for kitchens and bathrooms?
Tile and waterproof vinyl plank handle water best. Hardwood and most laminate don't like standing water.
Can new flooring go over the old floor?
Sometimes. Floating floors can go over a flat, sound surface. Your installer will check height, doors and transitions first.
How long does flooring installation take?
A room or two of vinyl or laminate often takes a day. Tile and hardwood take longer, and refinishing needs drying time.
Refinish or replace hardwood?
Solid hardwood can usually be sanded and refinished several times. Replace it when boards are badly damaged or too thin to sand.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
