02 Oct 5 Reasons to Hire a Professional for Your Floor Replacement

Replacing a floor isn’t nearly as easy as it may seem. There are baseboards to remove and extremely fine measurements to be made. Many individuals begin their floor replacement project as a DIY task assuming it will be a weekend project and they’ll save money.

It’s only after you’ve torn out the old flooring and attempted to install the new floor that you realize the job is going to take much longer than anticipated. You’ll discover that you’ve already spent an excessive amount of time and still need to call in the professionals. Hiring a flooring specialist has multiple benefits.

Fast Installation

Flooring specialists install hundreds of floors each year. They have the skill, experience and knowledge to lay hardwood flooring, tiles and carpeting quickly and efficiently. They’re often able to complete a large floor in a day.

Scheduling

A professional will work with you to arrange the best time to install your new flooring that’s convenient for everyone involved. The goal is to cause the least amount of disruption in everyday activities.

Sufficient Flooring

Few people know how to accurately measure and determine how much carpeting they need for a floor of any given size. Cutting hardwood too short, improperly sized tiles, and purchasing too little or to much carpeting are common mistakes made by DIY fans. Those problems aren’t an issue with professional installers. They’ll come prepared with the proper amount of flooring.

Tools

The experts will also have the proper tools for the job. Some flooring tools are highly specialized. You’re unlikely to have them in your garage or the knowledge to use them even if you purchased them for the task. Some can be quite expensive and you’ll be wasting money on tools you’ll probably only use once.

Removal and Disposal

The professionals will remove the old flooring and dispose of it properly. They know where and how to dispose of old flooring in the appropriate manner. You won’t have to rent a dumpster to dispose of the old flooring.
