Referral Flooring

What to prepare before a flooring installer visits

Before a flooring assessment, list rooms and approximate measurements, existing floor types, transitions, stairs and areas that feel uneven. Referral Flooring’s owner quotes projects at the home from its Burlington base, serving Hamilton and nearby 905 communities. Note furniture, removal or subfloor questions and keep labels for purchased material. Its supply and installation services are described on Referral Flooring’s website.

What to include in the request

Do not buy material before checking measurements, waste allowance, acclimation requirements and the condition of the existing floor with the installer. Photograph transitions and any areas that feel soft or uneven. Keep product names and receipts if you already purchased flooring, then ask who is responsible for checking the product before installation.

Walk the rooms before the visit

  • List each room and approximate measurements, including closets or connected spaces you may want included.
  • Mark stairs, transitions, uneven areas and places where the existing floor feels soft.
  • Note what should happen to furniture, appliances, baseboards and the existing floor covering.
  • Keep packaging, product labels and receipts for any flooring you have already purchased.

Get the scope in writing

Ask what the quote includes for measurement, material, removal, disposal, subfloor preparation, stairs and transitions. Ask which hidden conditions could change the scope after the existing floor is removed. See the Referral Flooring profile for the owner-quoted supply and installation service.
