A Beginner’s Guide to Flooring Installation Edmonton

by | Jul 25, 2023 | Flooring General, Home Tips

Flooring installation is a big project, and can seem a lot more daunting when you know little to nothing about the process. It can seem as if there are many moving targets and you don’t have your eyes open. Ashley Fine Floors has worked with many first-time clients over our 25 years of operation: we understand that this can be a stressful home improvement. That is why we have created this simple guide on the process of using Edmonton’s Ashley Fine Floors for your next flooring installation.

Choose the Right Flooring

There are many types of flooring to choose from when it comes to renovating your home. One can easily be overwhelmed after entering a flooring store without any background knowledge. This is why we employ informed staff at Ashley Fine Floors: we can make the process of getting the right flooring for you as easy as possible. Ashley Fine Flooring has some of the best selection of flooring to be installed in Edmonton. From sustainable choices like cork to investments like hardwood, our goal is to make flooring installation in your Edmonton home worth it. 

Wait for Your Appointment

After you’ve placed your order, it’s time to prep your Edmonton home for your flooring installation. If you are able to remove furniture from the renovation area on your own, this is the time to do so. If not, there are plenty of companies available to move your furniture for you. Talk to your Edmonton flooring installation team; they may require other things from you before installation day or they may be able to provide help. They also may require you to provide proper ventilation or give entrance codes onto the property.

Etiquette for Installation Day

When the day has arrived, there should be nothing more for you to do than be available for questions. The installation team will want to do their best, and sometimes that will mean contacting you if plans need to be altered or to confirm changes. If your project is medium or large in size, you may have more than one day of flooring installation. We ask that our Edmonton clients be available during all of these days in case our team needs to get a hold of you. If you have the ability to work from home, that is a viable option. Other than answering the odd question, your job is to sit back and relax.
