To ensure that your factory warranty is never denied due to installation issues, Floor Coverings International will alwaysmeet or exceed the manufacturer’s installation quality standards.

Yes, we do.  Hilltop Pro Services offers financing options to fit every budget and credit situation. Along with the price of your flooring project we’ll provide you with payment terms/opportunities for each option we present to you.

As you shop for new floors, you will probably have multiple project estimates to consider. Even if you choose not to work with us, we want to help make sure your project has the best results! Here are three ways you can compare estimates:

1. The 10% Rule. If your lowest quote is more than 10% percent cheaper than the most expensive quote, they are probably cutting corners. There should rarely be more than a 10% difference between each quote.
2. Installation Process. To protect your warranty, ask if your installer is following a manufacturer-approved method. This way, if you ever need to make a warranty claim, you won’t have a conflict.
3. Online Reviews. Companies should always respond to feedback from customers online. If you notice an installer is ignoring negative feedback, they may not be the best fit. Ratings under four stars can also be a red flag.

Our flooring project estimates include both material costs and installation costs. This way, we can ensure your quote includes a manufacturer-approved installation process which protects your warranty.

The entire process takes about 90 minutes and provides all the information you need to choose the best partner for your flooring installation project — from product selection to a timeline estimate.

Almost every flooring material has a high-quality version that can last a lifetime. Whether it’s tile, hardwood, or vinyl flooring, a Design Associate can help you find a product that matches both your design goals and your durability requirements.

However…

For commercial spaces, some durable floors may work better than others. For example, durable carpet squares or luxury vinyl tile may be “softer” than a stone floor, but they are easier to replace, repair or upgrade.

There are many flooring brands to choose from on the market, but finding the best brand is all about choosing what features work best for your unique needs.

But, that’s not all…

If you already have a favorite brand in mind, we can place a special order for your installation project. We can order almost any flooring material directly from the manufacturer.

Our signature design consultations streamline the flooring installation process in four simple steps. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a free meeting with a design associate:

1. Carpet Installation. Our selection of Anso High Performance Carpet with R2X Stain Resistance Technology prevents stains and is easy to clean.
2. Bamboo Flooring. Bamboo is a highly durable type of hardwood that is also scratch resistant.
3. Laminate Flooring. Laminate is scratch resistant and inexpensive to repair or replace.
4. Tile Flooring. Tile floors prevent deep scratches from claws and are very easy to clean.
5. Vinyl Flooring. Vinyl floors are easy to clean, tough on stains and have simple maintenance.

For even more options, be sure to ask your Design Associate about how to get pet-friendly floors for your home or office.

The entire process takes about 90 minutes and provides all the information you need to choose the best partner for your flooring installation project — from product selection to a timeline estimate.

1. Avoid wood-look furniture if possible
2. If you do use wood-look furniture, make sure it matches your hardwood perfectly
3. Use lighter colored furniture with dark hardwood floors and vice versa
4. With lighter hardwood finishes, use furniture with interesting textures

All construction or renovation (paint, drywall, concrete, masonry, plumbing) must be complete and dry prior to the delivery of the Top-Notch Floor.

HVAC STANDS OR HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

HVAC should be on, operational and maintained between 60 – 80 degrees with a relative humidity of 35%- 65% range a minimum of 48 hours prior to delivery, during and after installation of the flooring.

1. The subfloor needs to be structurally sound without deflection. 
2. The sub-floor should be free of any surface defect. If it is not, fill gaps with a Portland based leveling cement. 
3. For concrete floors sand/grind down any uneven areas. 
4. For wood floors, use a wood leveling patch or skim coat as needed. 
5. The sub-floor must be level and flat to1/4" per 10' radius and must not vary more than 1/16"per 3-foot straight line.
6. Any gaps in the sub-floor should not exceed 1/16". 
7. Use flooring screws into floor joists if necessary to minimize squeaks in subfloor. 
8. The surface must be clean and free of any contaminants such as wax, paint, grease, dust, oil, nails, staples, old adhesive, etc. and thoroughly swept and free of all debris. 
9. For concrete installation, ensure that the concrete is not low-density (below 3000 psi) or gypsum based.
10. It is highly recommended to add a 6-mil plastic moisture barrier over a concrete subfloor to prevent future moisture issue from the slab. Even if the test results are within the
manufacturer's standards. Tests performed reveal the reading at the time of testing. It is impossible to predict what the humidity level will be in the weeks or months that follow. Even if you're using a 6-mil moisture barrier, and you have a serious moisture problem, it is possible that the pressure caused by the humidity pushes up the floor and make your floor buckle.

Acceptable floor coverings include; Solid wood, linoleum{1 layer only), terrazzo, ceramic, and stone tile. Tiled floors with grout lines will require a cementitious leveling compound to fill any grout lines, voids, or cracks.

Unacceptable floor coverings include: Carpet (any type}, foam underlayment, cushioned-back vinyl, rubber, cork, laminates, free-floating floors, and wood floors over concrete.

Never trap a non-waterproof product between the concrete slab and the new Top Notch floor.

This product is not suitable for any outside use,
sunrooms/solariums, showers, saunas, seasonal porches, camping trailers, boats, RV’s or rooms that have a potential of flooding. Do not install in rooms or homes that are not temperature controlled.

Exposure to long term direct sunlight can cause damage to your floor. Failure to properly shade or UV tint windows can discolor, fade, or buckle vinyl planks. Vinyl planks are not intended for use on stairs or vertical surfaces.

An expansion space of 1/4″ must be left around the perimeter of the room and all vertical obstructions such as pipe and columns.

Undercut all door casings 1/16″ higher than the thickness of the flooring being installed.
