You’ve decided you want hardwood floors. You’ve requested a free estimate. Now what?
The estimate visit is one of the most important parts of the process. It’s your chance to get expert eyes on your space, ask questions, and get a clear picture of what your project will cost and how long it will take.
Here’s how to get the most out of your free estimate with Premium Wood Floors KC.
What Happens During the Estimate Visit?
1. We Measure Your Space
We measure all the areas where you want flooring installed. This gives us the exact square footage we’ll need for materials and labor.
2. We Evaluate the Subfloor
The condition of your subfloor affects the project significantly. We check for:
- Squeaks or soft spots
- Levelness — any areas more than 3/16” out of level over 10 feet need correction
- Moisture levels (especially important over concrete or in kitchens and basements)
- Existing flooring that needs to be removed
3. We Discuss Your Goals and Preferences
We’ll talk through:
- The type of hardwood you’re considering (solid vs. engineered)
- Species and stain color preferences
- Finish type (matte, satin, semi-gloss)
- Timeline and budget
4. We Present Options and Samples
We bring samples to your home so you can see how different species and stains actually look under your lighting and with your furniture and wall colors.
5. You Receive a Detailed Written Estimate
After the visit, you’ll receive a clear, itemized written estimate with no hidden fees. This covers materials, labor, subfloor prep (if needed), and old floor removal (if applicable).
How to Prepare for Your Estimate Visit
A little preparation goes a long way:
- Know which rooms you want done: Even a rough idea helps us prepare.
- Think about your priorities: Is matching existing floors important? Do you have a preferred stain color? Any concerns about pets or moisture?
- Clear a path: You don’t need to move all your furniture, but it helps to have access to the main areas we’ll be measuring.
- Have questions ready: This is your time to ask anything. No question is too small.
Common Questions Homeowners Ask During the Estimate
- How long will my project take?
- Do I need to leave my home during installation?
- What do I do with my furniture?
- Will there be dust?
- How long before I can walk on the floors?
- When can I put furniture back?
- Do you move furniture, or do I?
We answer all of these clearly during the estimate visit — so you’re never left guessing.
