Hardwood floors are an excellent choice for adding a classic touch to your house. They not only uplift the curb appeal of the house but are also highly robust. Because of their sturdiness, many people plan to install hardwood floors but hardly know that they are available in many types, such as oak, maple, and cherry flooring, and all of them are worth it.
Although hardwood flooring gives your home a chic look, it totally depends upon how it is installed. I have seen many people frown over their newly installed hardwood floors that have lost their luster within a few weeks or have scratches and ruptured surfaces. The reason behind the wear and tear of their new flooring is inexperienced installers.
If you are fascinated by the new hardwood floor, I suggest you hire professional hardwood floor installers since they have the right skills to manage the floors and the right knowledge of every single detail about hardwood floors. Even if you are looking to refinish your previously installed hardwood floors, find the experts to do the job since an amateur may not succeed in fulfilling your wishes.
To look for a reputed company, here are some questions that will help you find one-
Which type of hardwood flooring is suitable for my house?
When you have decided to install hardwood flooring in your house, you must ask the flooring contractor what type of hardwood flooring is suitable for your home. Since hardwood floors have different types, if your contractor provides extensive information about each type, it means you are on the right track. For instance, you might have thought of installing oak-finished floors, but the suitable choice for your house is hickory.
How much will it cost?
A professional hardwood flooring company would inspect your place, check the size, and then estimate the price and extra charges, if any. So, if your contractors inspect your home before revealing the costs, you have selected the right ones. Besides, many companies charge according to work per day, per week, or the number of workers working. Do ask them about their charging policy.
Are you insured and certified to do the job?
Ensure the company is certified and insured to provide security while implementing the job. Being insured means taking all the measures to maintain the integrity of their work and looking after their workers.
How will you handle unexpected installation issues?
Because of the damaged subfloor, unexpected issues can arise anytime during the installation process. The trained workers must be ready with a backup to handle such matters with utter care and appropriate equipment. Besides, they must not hesitate to tell the owners about their problems because of the previous damages.
Do you offer a warranty?
Many hardwood flooring companies offer at least one year of warranty, while others can extend the warranty on the material. Therefore, you must ask your contractor about the warranty on the installation job or the elements.
