FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Preparing your home for flooring installation involves several steps:

  1. Clear the installation area of all furniture and personal items.
  2. Ensure all electronics are disconnected and removed from the installation area.
  3. Remove any fragile or valuable items from the vicinity.
  4. Make arrangements for pets and children to stay away from the installation area.

Please refer to our Pre-Installation Checklist for a more detailed guide on what to expect.

Our Preferred Flooring team can assist with moving some furniture pieces within reason. Additional charges may apply to areas with excessive or heavy furniture or any furniture that requires disassembly. We do not move heavy appliances, antiques, grandfather clocks, aquariums, pool tables, waterbeds, safes, gym equipment, or baby grand/grand pianos (most of these items need to be professionally moved). Contact our Preferred Flooring team for details.

No, we do not handle the disconnection or reconnection of water, electrical, or gas lines. We recommend hiring a certified plumber, electrician, or contractor to manage these tasks before our installation team arrives.

Our team will do their best to fix any floor squeaks they encounter during installation. However, we cannot guarantee that all squeaks will be eliminated, nor can we be held responsible for any future squeaks.

If your new flooring is thicker than your old flooring, your doors may need to be trimmed for proper clearance. You can arrange for the doors to be left off their hinges so you or a hired carpenter can trim them to fit.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Love the new carpet we just put into our home bedrooms! I wasn’t sure what exactly we wanted (or needed), but with the suggestions and knowledge from Sarah, Kara, and Deb I am thrilled that we chose a nylon carpet for the bed rooms. The difference compared to our old carpet is amazing. I think the color also makes our room look bigger than before. So happy with the help and patience these ladies showed in the process too!

Great customer service and good, helpful people just because! I just walked in hoping to find and buy a few pieces of matching wood floor for a small rotting section in my dining room. No one sells a few pieces so you'd have to buy the entire bunch! They don't either, but the owner just gave me 8 or so pieces they had lying in the back free of charge! I just want people to know this place is run by good folks.
