Hardwood Floor Installation Reviews And Good Research Can Help You Choose a Flooring Company
If you are thinking about having hardwood floors installed in your home, office or another location, there are a number of things you should consider before you get in touch with a contractor to discuss the installation.
It's wise to have a clear idea of what you want and realistic expectations in regards to costs and processes.
Here are some things you should know before you begin reading hardwood floor installation reviews and seeking an installer.
I: Get good measurements. You need to know the exact square footage.
II: Have an idea of the square foot costs of the material you want to use.
II: Remember that it will cost money to remove the floor you have in place. Do some research into typical costs for removal of the type of floor you have.
IV: Know your budget. Have a firm idea in mind of just how much you are able and willing to spend. This will affect your options.
Start Contacting Contractors
When you have at least a basic understanding of the cost and scope of your job and the types of hardwood flooring you want to explore, you can start contacting installers. Search online for positive hardwood floor installation reviews to help you find contractors who are qualified, skilled, professional, licensed, insured and have excellent, verifiable testimonials. It's always smart to have a look at the previous work of any contractor you are considering hiring. You would be wise to get at least three estimates so that you can make an educated comparison and get the best deal possible. Be sure that all the estimates you get cover exactly the same services so that they will be truly comparable. These services should include removal of the existing floor, installation of the new floor, disposal of debris and any other particulars you are concerned with. A good installer will present you with a detailed floor plan that clearly outlines the scope of the job. He or she will provide you with a firm quote that doesn't leave a lot of open ended possibilities that will allow tacking on unexpected expenses. Your quotes should clearly outline work days and hours and give you a clear time line of exactly how long the job will take. Remember to compare warranties and guarantees closely. This aspect of the job makes up a great deal of the value. While it may appear that two companies provide exactly the same services, yet one is far more expensive than the other, the difference may be in the warranty. This may be a significant and valuable difference, so pay close attention to this detail.
