Installing hardwood moldings around fireplace has never been an attractive solution for covering up those gaps. Unfortunately inexperienced installers will handle it this way ,
either because they do not know of other solutions or don’t care to handle it any other way. but atthe end will look unprofessionally and ugly,
dont let this happen to your investment, hire a knowlegable individual, that knows the difference; obviously cutting the fireplace is gonna be more work to the installer, but at the end it wold stay as a recommendation of someone that knows how to finish a fireplace
we undercut the fireplace and intersect the wood into the Brick or stone giving a professional looking and a nice finish to the fireplace itself
Finding a Worthwhile Flooring Contractor

Searching for a flooring contractor without a criminal history and who knows what there doing is not for everyone. For most things I really don’t have time to try and figure out who is the best at a particular task and still comes up being fairly cheap for the job they are going to do. My concern was the same when trying to find a flooring company or flooring installer that could install some wood floors in my Tyler home. I found a really good deal on wood floors at Lumber Liquidators but I was not able to find a good installer. I had a few flooring companies come out to give me quotes on installing floors. The one company that did come out quoted me an outrageous price to install the floors. Another flooring company came out and spent a good hour measuring and checking for moisture in the slab. This particular flooring company never came back out or called me to begin the job.
I then ran into Texas Floor Installer company owned by Eliseo Reyes. Eliseo has worked for large flooring contracting companies that install very large commercial and residential floors. He eventually went off on his own as he was getting a ton of work from referrals and personal references. Why pay a large flooring company who acts as a middle man when you can use the same contract labor like Eliseo for half the cost? It really doesn’t make sense to pay several thousand dollars more when you can hire the contract laborer yourself. You will save a ton of money and have a very professionally laid floor.
Eliseo operates in a very professional manner with honesty and integrity. Eliseo and his wife install your floor with very little overhead. Having completed several hundred flooring jobs Eliseo knows the correct way to install a wood or tile floor and can give you advice on layout and design. You may have a thought on how you would like your floors laid but Eliseo has the learning curve already figured out to know what does and does not work. Let’s take for instance my desire to have my wood floors laid down horizontally with the windows. Since I had the wood floors with the etched look it would have caused the floors to appear very wavy and unattractive. Once your wood floors are glued down there is no way to reverse course unless you want to pay double the price of the floors by having them removed and re-added all over again. Eliseo explained that a better look would be to have the lines vertical so that when the light hit the floors you did not see a lot of waves in the wood.
He was right about his design suggestion and I love my floors now that they are installed. Most grunt level wood floor installers come in, do the job, and get out. They usually will not listen to a home owners concerns and their answers to questions are almost worthless. Eliseo is a professional and the owner of Texas Floor Installer. He takes time to listen to the home owner or general contractor and puts together a flooring layout that will add the most beauty to the home. Little details like listening and suggesting the best course of action for your Texas flooring installation goes a long way in making your final home renovation stand out from a typical flooring job.
Feel free to contact Eliseo using the phone number at the top right of this site or email him using the contact form. If Eliseo does not answer he will return your call and can give a quote for your floor installation job right over the phone. In some cases Eliseo must come out on sight and survey the home needing flooring installation. Eliseo can install flooring in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Tyler, Shreveport, and several other cities in the area with no additional cost for travel. No matter where in Texas you may live Eliseo can install your flooring whether it be Tile or Wood.
