How to choose a flooring contractor.

What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.

Hardwood, vinyl plank, laminate, carpet and tile installers. Use this checklist when you compare flooring contractors, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.

  • Ask whether subfloor prep and old-floor removal are included.
  • Ask how long the flooring should acclimatise before installation.
  • Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
  • Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
  • Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
  • Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
