Choosing A Hardwood Flooring Contractor
Since there are so many different types of hard wood, and a variety of styles that you can incorporate into your floors, hiring the right kind of Colorado Springs area hard wood flooring contractor for your project is of utmost importance. A hardwood contractor for instance might be really experienced at installing high quality cherry wood floors, but may not have the kind of experience needed to do distressed finishes, insert medallions and other specialized processes. Does your Colorado Springs area hardwood flooring contractor have the experience to undertake these details?
It goes without saying that your Colorado Springs, CO area hard wood flooring company must be licensed in your state and have all necessary certification documentation in order. The company should have a physical address, and should not operating out of a basement somewhere. The workers must be professional and uniformed, and arrive in company transportation. The company must have a physical address, and not a post box number. If there are going to be sub contractors working under the contractor they should be insured. The main contractor should be insured too. If he isn't insured and there is an accident involving the workers at your house, you could be held liable for the damage.
Your Colorado Springs area contractor must have many years of experience in the business. He should b experienced not only in installing the kind of flooring that you need, but must also be proficient in any type of other specialized processes that you need, like borders or inlays. He must be able to offer you an estimated budget for the project, and should be able to give you a time frame for the project. He should have plans in place for disposal of waste that is left over as a result of the wooden flooring project, and should have dust containment systems in place. Ask if he offers warranties for his products and services. If you have doubts, go to the local chapter of the Better Business Bureau in your city, and make enquiries there.

12x14 room, white birch, 4" plank with minwax chestnut stain and oil-based gloss finish. It will be installed on top of an existing wooden floor. |
We have just torn up the carpets at our new house and found beautiful oak floors (red oak, I believe). We plan to tear down a few walls, and also continue the oak floors into another room, and so would need approx. 188 ft2 of newly installed floors, 241 ft2 of refinishing on the original floors, and 19 ft2 of "patchwork" in the footprint of the walls we take down. The original floors are from 1952 and besides a few marks made in marker by a previous owner, are in great shape. We are looking to take down the walls on this weekend, and so would like to have the floors worked on sometime in the following week. Thank you! |
