You have probably decided to revamp the floor of your home. That is a good idea that can help improve the value of your home. Maybe you have an idea of the surface you want, the color scheme, and the amount of money you want to spend. However, you need to carry out extensive research and choose the right flooring contractor.
As far as choosing a flooring contractor is concerned, the most vital thing is to understand that they are not equal. You should note that renovating your floors is not something easy anyone can do. Doing it requires creativity and skill.
Ensure they are Insured and Licensed
You need to do this before you even ask for an estimate over the phone. If the company tells you that they are not fully insured or licensed, you need to move on to another company. On the other hand, if they claim to be licensed or insured, they should email you a copy. That should be the case for subcontractors who may be hired to do the job. Check whether the company has liability insurance and worker’s compensation.
Check their Portfolio
It does not matter whether you want to install a carpeted floor, hardwood, tile, vinyl, or stone floor; you need to see examples of past work they have done. For instance, a company can be great at installing the carpet floor but poor on the hardwood floor. Contractors that have done a similar job in the past can show you pictures.
Ask for References
Expert flooring contractors will have past customers who are ready to discuss their experiences with prospective clients. You need to get the information and offer the people a call. They are happy to tell you about their experiences with the contractor you want to hire. Remember that they volunteer their time, so you need to be respectful of them.
Find Out Who Will Do the Job
As a homeowner, it is vital to know who will be working on your property. It is good to know who will work on your property. Usually, the supervisor does not have to be on the job site every day. However, ensure you have adequate information about the supervisor.
