What Should I Look For In A Hardwood Flooring Company?
Hardwood flooring brings ease and style to your home. However, installing new hardwood floors or refinishing your current floors can be a big investment, especially if done incorrectly. With that said, it is very important that you choose the right hardwood floor installation and sanding company for the job.
Although homeowners can take on a variety of home improvement projects on their own, installing or sanding hardwood floors should be left to the professionals. Not only can it be dangerous, but working with a floor sanding company can ensure you get the best hardwood option for your home and learn how to best maintain it.
With that said, below is what we suggest looking for when you are researching or talking with hardwood floor companies near you:
Hard Wood Flooring Experience
We put experience at the top of our list because there are a variety of factors that can change the scope of a project. When you work with an experienced company, they have the expertise and knowledge to address all issues or hiccups at the start of a project. This ensures you can remain within your budget and schedule. Further, working with a more experienced company ensures workmanship and standards are to the highest of quality.
At Dave’s we have been family-owned and operated for three generations. Our expertise is strictly hardwood flooring, which means we are the best at what we do in the Twin Cities.
Excellent Customer Service
When you work with any home improvement company, you are going to have individuals you don’t personally know in your home for a period of time. Depending on the extent of the project, a project could take weeks to months.
With that said, you want to make sure you are working with a flooring company that is timely, respectful, honest, and delivers a quality product. To determine this factor, referrals or checking online reviews is your safest bet.
Access to Quality Product Lines
Before you decide to work with any flooring company, make sure you ask them what flooring materials they use, and do extensive research on these brands. This flooring will be in your home for many years to come; you want it to last and meet your needs. Further, it has the potential to increase your home’s value, so it’s best to know that whatever you choose to install is top of the line.
Cheap vs. Expensive Flooring
The classic saying, “you get what you pay for” holds true for pretty much every product or service in life, but especially home improvement services. Therefore, when picking a flooring company, don’t choose a company just because the prices are lower than all the rest. In the long run, choosing that option tends to just cost more.
However, we aren’t saying choosing the most expensive option is the right choice either. Follow the suggestions above, and then narrow your choices down to a few companies and take advantage of a free, in-home estimate and go from there.
