Hardwood floors are known for being beautiful additions to any living space. Not only do they provide an attractive look that goes with virtually any décor style, but they are strong, sturdy, and built to last.
While many home and business owners agree on the benefits of hardwood flooring, they may not know where to turn when it comes to having it installed. Fortunately, the team at SMART Carpet and Flooring provides dependable hardwood flooring installation to people throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. Before choosing your installation partner, here are some questions you should consider asking.
How Much Experience Do You Have With Hardwood Floors?
Before agreeing to let someone work on your home, it’s important to know you can trust their work. The more experience a company has, the more confident you will feel in its ability to get the job done right and on time. While issues occasionally come up, experienced workers will know how to navigate them to prevent project delays. At SMART Carpet and Flooring, we’ve been installing hardwood floors for almost 30 years.
Why Should I Choose Hardwood?
Hardwood floors are made with durability in mind. They are also a practical and cost-effective flooring option that goes well in just about any room and with any design style. Another positive is that hardwood flooring will help increase the value of your home, making it great for those who need a long-term option or hoping to entice buyers.
What Is Your Hardwood Flooring Selection Like?
Even if a company is experienced, if they don’t have the flooring you’re interested in, you’ll need to look elsewhere. Ask what types of hardwood flooring they offer. Some popular options include solid, bamboo, and engineered hardwood.
You should also look at the brands they offer. At SMART Carpet and Flooring, we carry exciting brands like Bruce, Mohawk, and Shaw. Each of these brands brings a little something special, so speak with a representative to decide which works best for your needs.
Do You Offer Warranties?
Companies that provide long-term warranties on their products and their work are simply easier to trust. This means you know they’ll be willing to work with you if something happens down the road. At SMART Carpet and Flooring, we provide lifetime installation warranties to give you peace of mind.
How Long Will the Flooring Installation Take?
While undergoing a home improvement project requires a lot of work, when it comes to flooring, you’ll want the job done in a timely manner. The project time can depend on the size of the room, the shape of the room, and other factors. Talk to the company about the timeline and when you can expect the work to be completed. This is especially important for a project in a space you use frequently. Our team at SMART Carpet and Flooring will give you reliable information up front, so you know just what to expect.
Do You Have Samples That Can Be Brought Home?
Many companies have vast selections in physical showrooms, but this doesn’t help homeowners envision what the product will look like in their homes. SMART Carpet and Flooring provides in-home services like our mobile showrooms, which can bring thousands of samples to your home to make it easy to see how well each flooring option fits with your décor and lighting.
Do You Offer Free Estimates?
Estimates are a detailed overview of the expected cost for the work. Some companies charge for these services, but SMART Carpet and Flooring provides free estimates to help take away any pressure.
Are There Any Hidden Costs?
Aside from purchasing the materials and paying for installation, some companies add in other fees that may not cross your mind. Fortunately, SMART Carpet and Flooring offers our free guarantee, which includes free premium padding, free furniture moving (for normal items), free standard stair work, and free measuring layout.
Are the Workers Insured?
Carpet and flooring installation is something experts should be able to handle, but if an issue comes up, you’ll want to know your installer is insured. This can help if their work accidentally causes injury or property damage.
Does Your Company Have Any Certifications?
Experience in the industry is great, but companies that have obtained certifications are even more trustworthy. SMART Carpet and Flooring has received an A+ Accredited Business rating from the Better Business Bureau, a 5-star rating from Houzz, and many other awards and accreditations.
