Where do I find someone to install my floor?
If you’ve just recently purchased a new floor, or are in the market for one, and need to have someone install it for you, you may be wondering where to look.
Flooring Installation
One way to find a decent installer is to check www.cfi-installers.org. This is the official website for Certified Floorcovering Installers, a national certification program for installation professionals. You simply enter your zip code, and a radius in which you want to search. A list of installers and their certifications will come up.
Alternately, you can always check with your salesperson. Usually, floorcovering stores have a list of installers they recommend. This is also a wise choice when you’ve bought your flooring locally. This really works to your advantage if the store is willing to back this installer with an installation warranty of some sort.
A third option would be to check with friends or relatives. See who they had install their floor. This is a good way to know what to expect of your installer, as you can see first-hand what kind of work they are capable of doing.
Probably your last resort, you can always check in your local yellow pages or phone directory. Most areas will have a section specifically for “Flooring Installers.”
In any case, be sure you check references. Make sure the person you have coming out to your house has a good reputation for quality workmanship. The last thing you want is someone you’ve never heard of, someone you know nothing about, coming out to your house and doing a poor job installing your new floor.
