3 Tips for Choosing a Flooring Contractor

While there are several different tips we can offer for finding the perfect flooring contractor to help you tackle that new flooring installation in your home, we've chosen three big issues you should be aware of when you start shopping around. While these are the only things to consider before agreeing to hire a contractor, they are definitely important ones you should always ask!

1. Always get price quotes from two, three, or more flooring installers. Compare the costs and the time of completion estimated for the project between installers.

2. Compare past projects each contractor has done! This is particularly important if you are having a specialty type of flooring put in. Ask to see a portfolio or even check online to see if there are reviews about their work. 3. Before you sign, ask to see a license and be sure your contractor is both bonded and insured as well. At this time, you will also want to ask to see the contract and walk through what is said on the contract with the installer.

How to Keep Floors Pet-Damage Free

No one can argue that we love our pets. But when playful antics or everyday activity wears and tears the flooring down in the house, pet ownership can quickly get frustrating. While protecting flooring can seem tricky, there are some useful tricks to know to keep your floors looking great with pets in the home.

Area Rugs: Area rugs can be a savior in high traffic areas as they can be removed and cleaned if a mess does occur.

Keep Pets Clean: Clean and properly groomed pets won’t bring in extra dander or dirt, resulting in cleaner floors for longer.

 Seal Sub Flooring: Seal the sub flooring prior to flooring installation to keep the sub floor from absorbing lingering pet odors.

Clean Regularly: Vacuum at least once a week, more if your pet sheds or if you have more than one animal.  This will help reduce hair, dander, and dirt that is lying around. Also, after a pet has an accident, be sure to absorb all moisture out of the carpet before you attempt to clean it.

Trim Pet’s Nails: If you have wood flooring you know the damage that can be done from sharp nails, so clip your pet’s nails regularly.  Also, if Fido gets excited when the doorbell rings, keep him in a separate room when you know visitors are coming to avoid further scratches to the floor.
