Tips for Your Next Flooring Installation

Flooring installation is one of the most popular home improvement projects. A new floor will breathe new life into your space and increase the value of your home. 

Installing a floor can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Many homeowners get intimidated by the prospect of planning every detail. Your flooring installation project does not have to be overwhelming. Do the simple things right and let a professional Sonoma Valley flooring company do the rest.  

Follow these tips to ensure everything goes smoothly. 

➢ Ask your installer whether their team will move the furniture. Ask the professional to take you through the steps they take to move breakables safely.

➢ Understand what’s included and excluded in the quotation. Make sure there are no hidden costs. A good quotation should include a breakdown of costs.

➢ Ask your contractor how long your project will take.

➢ If you plan to install floors in multiple rooms, you might need a larger team to move furniture, so you need to plan accordingly. 

➢ Ask your installer how noisy it will get and if they plan to keep disruptions to a minimum. 

➢ If your subfloor needs repair, ask your contractor if the cost is included in the estimate. 

Why Hire a Professional for Flooring Installation? 

Flooring installation is best left to the experts. If you try to install your floor yourself, you may make a mistake that can affect your floor’s performance, integrity, or cut short its service life. You may accidentally make a mistake that can cause irreversible, long-term damage. This could force you to go back to the drawing board and start over.

A professional installer will do things right the first time. Your installer will plan your project down to the last detail and will plan to keep disruption to a minimum. 

Installation pros know what can go wrong during an installation. If a problem occurs during your project, your installer will know how to handle it. Their knowledge and experience allow them to foresee project challenges and plan to circumnavigate challenges.  Need help on your flooring installation project? Rugworks has you covered.
