Introduction

***Due to COVID-19, we’re now offering virtual estimates for all your flooring needs*** At Footprints Floors, we're a step above the rest! We are a one-of-a-kind family owned and operated flooring installation and restoration business. We have spent the past decade mastering the installation and restoration of hardwood as well as the installation of laminate, vinyl, carpet, stone and tile floors, backsplashes, staircases and baseboards. From small repairs to large refinishing and installation projects, we pride ourselves on offering top quality workmanship at a fair price. One of the ways we keep our costs low (without compromising the quality of our services) is by completely eliminating the need for any type of showroom - decreasing our overhead, logistics, and staffing requirements and passing those savings directly onto you, our valued customers. For your next flooring project, make sure to impress with Footprints Floors. Great Floors & Great Impressions are what we are all about!

What types of customers have you worked with?

Install, sand and finish new hardwood and all existing hardwood. Stain new floors and old floors to match. Install new or refinish treads and risers on stairs. Help select and install new carpet. install new tile or vinyl floors. Natural stone and tile installation. Move furniture, appliances and plumbing. Remove/dispose of existing floor. Remove/return baseboards and furniture.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Most hardwood "companies" are a small outfit usually consisting of one or two guys. Sometimes those companies are good, but far too often they're not and customers are left with either an unfinished product or inferior product...or no product in the worse scenarios.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Does the contractor carry liability insurance? If not, you could be in for big trouble should anything go wrong with your project. Ask the contractor for a copy of their liability insurance. Be sure to check when the policy expires. It may even be worth a call to the agent/agency that insures them. That way you can be sure the policy is current and in good standing. Does the contractor use full-time employees, sporadic sub-contractors, or are they a hybrid that uses the same sub-contractors every week? Many companies will claim they use only full-time employees. If so, you may want to request a copy of their workers comp insurance. And, it is not a bad idea to call the agent/agency that provides their workers comp insurance to be sure they are current on that policy, too.
