Gorsegner Brothers > Blog > Flooring > 5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring A Hardwood Flooring Installer
You’ve decided to replace your old flooring and give your home an upgrade. What’s next? It’s time to hire a professional to install your new floors. At Gorsegner Brothers, we know that hiring the right company is critical in getting the job done right. So, what exactly should you look for in your hardwood flooring installer?
We are here to help.
Here are five important questions to ask a potential hardwood flooring installer, to help make an informed decision about your investment.
Finding out this information will let you know if the hardwood flooring installer has taken the necessary steps to conduct their business services legally. Unexpected events can happen; so this also gives you a peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong, they (and you) will be covered.
It’s critical to choose a contractor who values the importance of keeping up with the latest certifications and accreditations. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) certification, for example, is universally recognized in the industry as being one of the best in the business. NWFA-certified hardwood flooring contractors demonstrate a commitment to mastering their craft and participate in ongoing education to maintain their skill set.
Ask for references from the contractor and then make an effort to call them. Do your research online, read Google reviews, Facebook reviews and ask for recommendations from trusted friends.
Savvy companies utilize a specialized dust containment system during installation and sanding, designed to minimize the dust in your home and reduce the amount of airborne dust particles by 99%. This allows homeowners to maintain a cleaner, healthier living environment. Not only will there be significantly less clean up immediately after the floor installation, but your family will not be breathing in dust particles for weeks afterwards.
Installing hardwood flooring is a big investment, so make sure to ask about warranties and if they are qualified to maintain your floors beyond installation. Choose a contractor who is willing to back up their own work.

Gorsegner Bros refinished our hard wood floors both first and second floor. They did an amazing job at a very fair price and the floors look new!!! They were patient answering all our questions during the job and also provided suggestions!!! The work was done on time. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

My wife and I are extremely happy with the result! The staff was professional, safe, tidy and quick! They had our old flooring torn up and the new floor installed in less than 48 hours which was a plus because losing use of our main room in the house for a long period of time would have been a real headache! Everything from the estimate, to the tear up, to the installation and completion of the job was smooth and done with the highest degree of quality and stellar workmanship. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Gorsegner Brothers did an absolutely fantastic job on my living room floor refinishing – they took all of the dog claw scratches right out and made the floor look better than it did when I moved in. Highly recommended!

I used this company and found the entire experience to be a pleasure. All the work was done to my satisfaction with minimal inconvenience. My entire first floor had to be ripped and replaced. I have had my floors done twice before, by other contractors, and went through many issues which were absent with Gorsegner. I am still admiring the floors today. The dustless system is a miracle. After the sanding I could run a finger anywhere and not find any dust.

They refinished the wood floors in our kitchen and dining room. The work was done on time and completed with no mess. Most importantly, the result was beautiful. The floors looked much better than they did when they were first installed. We could not be happier with the result.

Gorsegner Bros installed, stained and finished a hardwood floor in my den. There was a problem in the way the floor was sanded such that the stain was darker in several areas along the edges. Gorsegner immediately re-sanded the entire floor and the result is perfect. Errors can occur with any work being done, but Gorsegner’s customer service and willingness to immediately correct a problem to the customer’s satisfaction is greatly appreciated. I will certainly use them again without hesitation.

We hired Gorsegner Brothers to refinish a bedroom floor that suffered water damage during Superstorm Sandy. They did such a phenomenal job and were so incredibly professional that we had all of the floors in our house refinished by their company. I was amazed at how they were able to extract such incredible beauty from the dingy, dirty, old wood floors we had in our house. We are in the process of repainting and redecorating the entire house as a result.

Everyone, from the estimators, to the office staff and the work teams were courteous, professional and efficient. Diego, the leader of our work team, was exceptionally knowledgable and helpful with choice of color and how to go about each phase of the sanding/refinishing process (sanding straight line areas of the job rather than each room as a whole). They worked long hours and were meticulous about their work.

My husband, who is extremely meticulous and normally does all the work in our house, was as impressed as I was at the results of the work.I have passed their name onto another family and will definitely call them again when I require refinishing services.
