What to Look for Before Hiring a Flooring Company

What to Look for Before Hiring a Flooring Company

Reviews, insurance, a real estimate, and proof of work. How to hire with confidence.

Hiring the wrong flooring contractor is expensive and stressful. A few simple checks separate the pros from the risky bets.

1. A real, documented estimate

You should get a written estimate that spells out the work, the materials, the number of finish coats, and the timeline, before anyone starts. If a quote is just one number with no detail, that's where hidden costs hide.

2. Licensed and insured

Make sure the company carries insurance. It protects your home and everyone working in it. We're licensed and insured, and happy to confirm it.

3. Proof of real work

Anyone can post a stock photo. Look for real before-and-after photos and video of actual jobs. We film our projects from bare wood to final coat so you can see exactly what we do.

4. A clear guarantee and a firm date

  • A named completion date, not a vague 'we'll get to it'
  • A guarantee that stands behind the work
  • Clear communication about dust, cleanup, and access
If a company can't show you real work and a real estimate, keep looking.

We're happy to answer all of these before you commit. Request a free estimate and see the difference.
