What to know about professional flooring installation

Shopping for a new flooring installation is an exciting time for Welland homeowners. Whether it’s a carpet installation or a hard surface, any flooring is one of the biggest, if not the most significant investments you'll ever make in your home. It also sets the foundation for the room's entire tone, which is why designers always say, "Design from the floor up." To help make the process less complicated, A-1 Flooring Welland, your flooring store in Welland, ON, put together this guide.

First, qualify yourself and the room in which you plan to install

Before you even start shopping, make a checklist of your needs. It’s easy to get distracted by all the choices but make sure your needs are aligned with whatever you choose for flooring. What worked and didn’t work with your original floor? Making the right selection will impact aesthetics, performance, and longevity.  Now explore your design desires, i.e., style, color, pattern, etc. It doesn’t need to be a perfect match, but you will want it to coordinate with your house's overall style. After all, if your home is rustic and you choose something in the modern urban style, it could look odd. Our design experts can surely help you find your perfect look when you visit our showroom.

Now, look at your lifestyle. Do you have a large family with kids and pets, or is it small? Do you entertain frequently or work at home? In what room are you installing? Is it large or small, light, and sunny or dark? Does it have heavy or light foot traffic? There are flooring options that can fit a variety of these needs.

Let our Welland flooring experts take care of everything

What, exactly, does the estimate include? Who is responsible for what? Where will you store furniture? We help you through all of these questions, as well as things like how long it will take and when you can start walking on it or moving furniture back in.
