Proper prep is pivotal for your flooring

By Brian Erickson, Floorz

These days, everyone is buying luxury vinyl plank, tile, hardwood and engineered plank flooring, but not everyone has the skills to install it.

There are specs to follow in regard to how flat a surface has to be in order for the warranty to be valid. A lot of times we’re tearing up different surfaces, so the floor beneath needs to be prepped in different ways. Door casings and floor level also have to be taken into consideration. Sometimes we have to raise areas of a floor to accommodate trim.

What this means to the consumer is it’s important to hire a trained installation professional, someone who knows the ins and outs of proper floor prep. Our installation team works exclusively for Floorz and our guys have over 25 years of experience, so they know how to install any type of flooring properly.

Anyone can sell you flooring, but the end result is just as important as the purchase. We provide red-carpet installation and always have financing options of up to three years with no interest. We offer a one-year warranty on labor for hard surfaces, and a lifetime warranty for carpeting.
