Searching for a commercial flooring contractor isn’t easy. You want to make sure that you choose a contractor with the right experience at the right price. If you haven’t worked with the company in the past, you could be wary about not getting what you pay for.
Experienced flooring contractors will save you time and money in the short- and long-term. When searching for a reliable contractor, make sure they will provide you with the following services:
- Follow governmental regulations and avoid costly mistakes or expensive lawsuits.
- Assist with choosing products and colors/textures to work within your budget.
- Help with the tracking and expediting of materials, and follow warranties because they have developed relationships with flooring product manufacturers.
- Consider MSDS sheets, ASTM standards, and slip coefficient of friction readings for quality assurance.
- Ensure all products arrive on time and in one location.
- Ensure that experienced installation professionals are installing the exact products that were sold.
- Ensure that the correct adhesives and trowel are used and are aligned for the product and application.
- Test for moisture in concrete and understand which products have adequate tolerances for varying moisture levels.
- Understand how to “take off” for a variety of products/sizes and how much cutting waste should be figured.
- Know when it makes sense to cut corners and when it is not wise.
- Accumulate products from many different sources to make an entire product work.
- Assist with the time-consuming process of resolving supplier claims. Since contractors have many business relationships, a manufacturer may try harder to resolve a claim for the contractor.
- Warrantee the installation and perform repairs after the installation as needed.
Choosing a commercial flooring provider isn’t an easy task and shouldn’t be left to chance. Commercial Flooring and Interior Concepts is well-versed in the above processes to help you make the right choices at the right price.

Thank you for your tips on how to find the best commercial flooring contractor for your needs. I like how you said that it is important that the company ensures the prompt arrival of products and that they are delivered to one location. I think that it would be smart to also make sure that the employees working on your project are all properly trained for the job.
