Whether you need new flooring in a large office building or have a small office you’re leasing, you want the flooring you choose to look great and last. Of course, choosing the right material is essential. However, it’s just as important to make sure that the office flooring installer you choose properly installs your new flooring. One way to do that is to ask the flooring companies you’re considering some questions. Keep in mind that not all questions apply to all types of flooring, so you may have to adjust the questions based on what you choose.
Do You Have Experience as an Office Flooring Installer?
And, we recommend also asking about insurance. Although most flooring types work equally well in homes and offices, you want to hire a flooring company who has commercial flooring experience. That will help ensure that the product they recommend and eventually install is a quality product and properly installed. It should go without saying that you should never hire an uninsured contractor for any work in your office (or home).
How Will You Ensure a Level Floor?
This is a common problem in offices on a slab but it also happens in multi-story buildings. Not all office flooring installers check the slab or floor deck. And not all who do use quality products that really work like PROFLEX Self-Leveling Underlayment.
What Can Be Done About Moisture?
Not every office space has an issue with moisture. However, in Florida because so many buildings are on slabs, moisture is often an issue. Almost all flooring types can be impacted by moisture. You may end up with bowing, swelling, mildew or mold, all of which mean replacing your flooring again. Depending on the type of flooring you choose, there are several options including our product of choice, Sika MB epoxy moisture barrier.
What is Included in Your Quote?
It is logical to assume that an office flooring installer includes the cost of labor and materials in their quote. However, it should also include much more. Make sure that your quote includes any necessary treatments (moisture barrier or leveling are two common needs), underlayment, and removal and disposal of your old flooring.
Do You Offer a Workmanship Guarantee?
Any contractor who doesn’t stand behind the work they do isn’t worth hiring. This is true for an office flooring installer as much as it is for your HVAC company. Depending on the material you choose, the guarantee may vary, but make sure they offer one and ask about specifics regarding your new flooring.
