Installing a hard wood flooring is not necessarily a complex process and in the hands of the right Philadelphia area contactor can be quite simple and efficiently done. Once you decide on the kind of wood that you want for your flooring, decide if you want further designs or finishes to your floors. Wooden floorings these days aren't just plain and no frills -- they have borders, and come in a variety of finishes. For instance, you can choose to have a stunning medallion in the middle of the room or maybe a distressed finish or inlay that will add to the charm of the floor. Does your Philadelphia area contractor have the right kind of experience for the job?
It goes without saying that your Philadelphia, PA 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.
It goes without saying that your contractor must have a fine reputation in the business. Ask for a list of past clients, and call these people up. If possible, have a look at their homes and the flooring. Ask questions about his character and work ethic - was he punctual? Was he professional? Did he complete the project on time? Did he go over budget with the flooring? Ask your contractor for a written and free estimate for your project. Also ask him for a time frame for the completion of your project. Your Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area contractor should inform you about the various stages of the project and the products and material that will be used. He should be able to handle all dust containment systems. He must be able to dispose of byproducts and waste as the result of the flooring project in accordance with industry specifications. He should be able to offer warranties of his work, wherever applicable.
We have a 18 X 12 living room and 12 X 11 dining room in our new house that we'd like to have the hardwood floors refinished. We want to have this done before we move in all our furntiture around August 20th. We already have some quotes, so we'd like to get a couple more ASAP.
