Reason #4: Trusted, Local Owners You Can Meet

There’s something to be said for being able to talk to your floor contractor whenever you want.

An owner of a local store in Alabama is available to you to talk about anything you may need or want to know. He or she is there to help you along the way. And since he or she focuses on nothing but flooring, they can offer you guidance and insight that a major chain won’t be able to provide someone.

You can also trust local Alabama providers because they’re members of your community, too. The owner knows the area and the people who live here. He or she can come to the site – to your home – and meet with you to discuss the project, whenever you have a need.

Also, local providers can give you a professional warranty from manufacturers like Shaw Flooring, that is much easier to enforce and honor. That gives you invaluable peace of mind.

You can also request consulting from someone whose local to Birmingham, AL. Browse through their showroom, and ask plenty of questions. They’ll often help measure how many square foot you’ll need and offer advice on the best flooring options for your budget estimate.

In contrast, a big box like Lowe’s or Home Depot will often fly in crews from other states – NOT Alabama! – to do the install work. This creates communication problems, not to mention a complete lack of trust.

At the end of the day, you want to trust your workers and the business owner who is responsible for them. Birmingham floors should be installed by a floor contractor who lives and works in Birmingham, AL. Read their reviews on places like HomeAdvisor, Yelp, Porch, Thumbtack, the BBB and Google first. That way, you’ll know what others around The Magic City and in suburbs like Leeds, Moody, and McCalla, AL have to say about their repair work and floor installation contracting.
