The relationship you have with your flooring contractor is an important one. You will want one who is qualified, capable and trustworthy. Here are a few suggestions:1. Just ask. Word-of-mouth is the best advertising. Ask friends, neighbors and relatives. If there's a home you like with flooring similar to what you want in your neighborhood, ask the owners who did the work. Your local flooring distributor will also have suggestions. Follow up on the leads they give you.
2. Take a look. Ask the flooring installer or contractor for before and after photos of their flooring jobs. Ask for addresses of projects they've done in your area.
3. Get references. Before signing a contract, get the names of 3 or 4 of the contractor's customers. Call and get their input. Also ask the contractor about awards or endorsements they may have received.
4. Check with the Better Business Bureau. If you have any concerns, call your local BBB. They'll be able to tell you if any consumer complaints are on record.
