How to Choose

A few questions worth asking any contractor on this list before hiring:

• Do you visit the property and measure before quoting?
• Are you experienced with Connecticut’s seasonal humidity swings and older subfloor conditions?
• For commercial spaces: can you provide wear-layer, FloorScore, and slip-resistance documentation?
• What’s the realistic timeline, including any subfloor prep?
