FAQs

Flooring FAQ — Illinois

Gapping in winter and slight movement with humidity is normal for solid hardwood. But cupping (edges higher than center) or severe warping indicates a moisture problem — either the subfloor wasn't dry enough before installation, the wood wasn't acclimated properly, or there's an underlying moisture source. Document with photos and contact the installer — this is a workmanship or product defect claim.

Yes, wait. Never let demo start before materials are on-site and confirmed correct (right color, right quantity, right format). Demo creates urgency that puts you in a weak negotiating position if the wrong material arrives or there's a shortage. The day everything is on-site is the day demo can begin.

Material quality is the biggest factor — entry-level LVP (3mm, 6-mil wear layer) vs. commercial-grade (8mm, 20-mil wear layer). Labor rates vary by region. Subfloor prep is often excluded from low-ball quotes. Ask every quote to specify the exact product being installed (brand, model, wear layer) and whether subfloor leveling is included.

If you approved the correct product in writing (signed quote or written email confirmation), any installation error is on the contractor — they cover material and restocking costs. If there's ambiguity about what was approved, you may split costs. Always confirm material specs in writing before any order is placed.

Missing expansion gaps causing buckling is a clear installation defect. Document with photos, contact the installer in writing, and give them a deadline to assess and repair. A reputable installer will correct this — it requires pulling the flooring, reinstalling with proper gaps, and potentially replacing damaged boards.

LVP and laminate: 24 hours before light foot traffic, 72 hours before moving furniture. Hardwood with oil-based finish: 3–5 days minimum, 2 weeks for full cure before rugs. Tile/grout: 24 hours for walking, 72 hours before heavy loads. Ask your installer for their specific product's cure schedule and get it in writing.
