FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for most hardwood flooring job can get a bit tricky because you never know what lurks beneath the existing flooring. There are a lot of variables when pricing a hardwood job such as the color of stain, the type of wood, the type of install such as stairs, lace in, repair etc. Its a good idea to figure out what you want and then have your hardwood company you choose explain the breakdown of the bid. If its not itemized, ask them to itemize it. You want to know where and what your money is going for.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common type of job I perform is installation, sand and finish of red oak. The width of the floor planks vary from job to job and each with creates a different look for the room its in.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Advise that I have for a person looking to hire a flooring contractor (if he/she doesnt offer the info) is ask them their process they use to complete whatever type of flooring you choose. If it is a concern for you and you do not know the answer ask. You are not only the one that is paying for it but you are the one that has to live with the outcome.
