How to Choose a Texas Floor Installer?

When choosing a floor installer there are a few considerations to make. Many consider price to be of the upmost importance but don’t let that get too much in the way of quality and experience. When it comes to flooring installation their are many family run small businesses that run on very little overhead but have been installing floors for years. Some of the larger companies that have a high advertising and overhead budget simply contract out the labor to these smaller flooring contractors.

Choosing a flooring contractor to install a floor in your Texas home or business reminds me of the time I was able to hire an electrician to wire my house for $15 an hour. If I had of gone through a licensed electrician company I would have paid $75 an hour for the same guy to come out. Since I was my own contractor and builder of my house I could legally find skilled labor and pay them myself to do what he would have done anyway under the umbrella of a larger company.

My point is that finding skilled labor at an affordable price is very easy when it comes to Texas flooring installation. You do not have to have a state regulated license like you do for do electrical work when installing floors in Texas. This means that flooring can be installed at very cheap prices by quality skilled laborers. You simply need to know where and how to find the right guy to do the flooring job.

Take for instance, one of our guys Eliseo. He used to work for a much larger Texas flooring installation company that contracted out much of their flooring installation work. After several years he was a senior Texas floor installer and no longer needed to work for someone else. He took the risk and went out on his own and has done several hundred tile and hard wood flooring jobs at much cheaper prices than a larger flooring company would have charged.

Our Texas home Realtor came into our house after Texas Floor Installer’s had installed hard wood floors in our house and could not believe the deal we received and the quality work. We also found a great deal on cabinets and cabinet installation as well. Our home realty agent  guessed at the cost we were able to renovate our house but her price estimate was almost $10,000 more than what we actually paid for cabinets and floors. Even during a Texas housing slump we were able to sell our Texas home for far more than the cost of renovating it and the original cost of the house.
