Why verify a New Jersey flooring contractor?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed flooring contractor?

Some states (CA, OR) require flooring contractors to hold a state license over a certain dollar threshold. Most states leave it to the municipality, but a license — where one exists — is your strongest indicator of competence.

How long should a new floor last?

Solid hardwood typically lasts 50+ years with refinishing every 10–15 years. Engineered hardwood: 20–30 years. Tile: 50+ years. Vinyl plank: 10–25 years. Lifespan depends heavily on subfloor prep.

Why does the subfloor matter so much?

Flooring is only as flat, dry, and stable as what's underneath it. A skipped moisture test or unaddressed dip causes squeaks, cracks, and gaps within months — often blamed on the flooring product when the install was the real problem.
