For a new floor, replacement, or repair, use these steps to clarify the work and ask a company the right questions before hiring.

When to contact a flooring company

Contact a flooring company if you want to install a new floor, replace an existing one, or repair a damaged or worn area. Describe the floor material and the rooms involved when you reach out.

What to clarify before work starts

Ask the company to review the area, confirm the work and materials, and explain what preparation is included. Make sure the written scope covers any removal, trim or transitions, cleanup, and the expected schedule.

Questions to ask before hiring

Compare companies by how clearly they address your specific floor, the work involved, and what is included—not just by the material or project description.

  • Do you handle this floor material and the repair, replacement, or installation I need?
  • What preparation is included, and how would you handle additional work if it comes up?
  • Does the written scope list removal, trim or transitions, cleanup, and materials?
  • Who supplies the materials, and what should I move or prepare before work begins?
  • What schedule do you expect for this specific project?

Get ready to contact a company

Share enough detail for the company to understand the project and tell you what it needs to assess.

  • List the rooms and whether you need a repair, replacement, or new installation.
  • Note the existing floor material and any damage you want addressed.
  • Take photos and estimate the area, if you can.
  • Write down your material preferences and any questions about furniture, access, or preparation.
