You’ve decided that the flooring for your project, whether it is new construction or remodeling, is going to be hardwood.  Finding the right contractor could determine the success of the outcome of your floors, below are suggestions on how to hire the right hardwood floor contractor:

1. Get referrals; if a friend or family member has a floor you like ask them who their contractor was
2. Select more than one recommendation and interview them making sure they meet you specific requirements
3. Check that the contractor is certified and license as required by their professional trade
4. Be sure you have a written estimate from the flooring contractor
5. Make sure you understand the steps involved in your flooring project and the estimated time frame expected to complete the job
6. Make sure the flooring contractor you chose is covered by insurance

Finally request a written contract from the contractor confirming; total cost of your project, how payment is to be made (down payment, interim payment, final payment), and timeframe.  Having your agreement with the flooring contractor you chosen can prevent misunderstandings and insure a positive outcome.  For more information contact Greg
