Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Phoenix-Area Flooring Contractor

The questions that actually matter

Ask these on the first site visit. Any answer that's hedged or off-the-cuff is a signal worth following up on.

  • Are you licensed (Arizona ROC) and insured? Can I see the license number and certificates?
  • Who is doing the install, your employees or subcontractors?
  • What's included in this price, line by line?
  • What's NOT included that's likely to come up as a change order?
  • What's the warranty, labor, materials, and how long for each?
  • What's the deposit, payment schedule, and final-payment trigger?
  • What happens if there's hidden damage under the slab or subfloor?
