Flooring FAQ's
In Georgia, a flooring company typically does not need a specific state-issued license unless they are working on projects exceeding a certain value, in which case a General Contractor’s License may be required. However, the company should carry general liability insurance to cover potential property damage and worker's compensation insurance if they have employees.
Homeowners should ask about the types of flooring the company offers, such as hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or tile. The company should explain the benefits and drawbacks of each material in terms of durability, maintenance, appearance, and cost, helping the homeowner choose the best option for their home.
It’s important for homeowners to request a detailed written estimate that outlines the total cost of the project, including materials, labor, and any additional fees. This ensures transparency and helps avoid unexpected expenses once the work begins.
Homeowners should ask for a clear timeline of how long the installation will take. It’s also important to know how the company handles potential delays, whether due to material shortages, weather, or unforeseen complications during the installation process.
Homeowners should inquire about the warranty on both the flooring materials and the installation service. A reputable flooring company should provide a warranty to cover defects or issues with the materials and the workmanship for a certain period, giving homeowners peace of mind.
