At ProSource, we do not install flooring. However, our Account Managers and Sales Associates are trained about installation and can answer most questions you might have. We can also refer you to a professional installer or to the manufacturer's recommended installation guidelines.

Installation always goes more smoothly when you and your clients observe a few tips:

• Install only after other remodeling is completed
• Schedule installation only after materials have arrived (Note: Many hardwoods should be acclimated in the room in which they will be installed for 48 - 96 hours prior to installation )
• Each type of flooring requires different sub-floor preparation that can include vapor barriers, padding or underlay, leveling compound, adding a rigid floor base, or other preparation. A ProSource Account Manager or a professional installer can provide specific recommendations for the type of flooring involved.
• Large items (furniture, appliances, pianos, entertainment centers, computer equipment, toilets, gas stoves, etc.) require special discussions with the installer prior to installation day
• Make sure your customers know that they're responsible for removing small breakables prior to installation
• Remove closet floors items and bed linens
• Dispose of old flooring before installation
• Installers are not usually responsible for replacing old, cracked quarter round or baseboard
• All special requests for the installer should be made in advance
