Use this guide to prepare for flooring repair or replacement and assess whether a company's proposed work fits your needs.

When flooring help may be a fit

Consider a flooring professional for damaged, loose, worn, or stained floors, or when you want to replace flooring in one or more rooms. If you’re unsure whether a problem calls for repair or replacement, ask for an assessment rather than assuming the cause.

What a flooring assessment may include

A company may look at the affected rooms and existing floor, ask what you want changed, and discuss material options. Before work is agreed on, clarify whether the proposed scope includes removing old flooring, preparing the surface, installation, transitions or trim, and cleanup.

Questions to ask before hiring

Ask questions that clarify the work, materials, and who will do it.

  • Does your quote cover repair, replacement, or both?
  • What materials and preparation work are included?
  • Will you remove and dispose of the existing flooring?
  • Are transitions, trim, and cleanup included?
  • Who will perform the installation, and who should I contact if an issue comes up afterward?

Compare the scope, not just the material

Check that each proposal describes the same rooms and work. Compare the stated material, surface preparation, removal, installation details, and any exclusions. Ask for unclear items to be explained in writing, and confirm the company has appropriate insurance for the work.

Prepare for a flooring estimate

Note which rooms are involved, what you’ve observed, and what you hope to change. Gather any material or product preferences, take photos of problem areas, and ask the company what access or room preparation is needed before a visit.
