QUESTIONS TO ASK
Questions to ask: commercial flooring replacement
Good contractor questions for commercial flooring replacement test how the work will actually be delivered. Start by asking who will survey substrate condition, moisture, flatness, and existing flooring removal needs, how findings will be documented, and what happens if the existing conditions differ from assumptions.
Questions about existing conditions
“Will you survey substrate condition, moisture, flatness, and existing flooring removal needs before finalizing the scope?” Ask what will be measured, photographed, or opened for verification and which assumptions remain provisional.
Questions about the proposed method
“How will you compare lvt, carpet tile, resilient sheet, or other finishes for traffic and maintenance?” Request an explanation of the assembly, trade responsibilities, material choices, and what will be inspected before work is covered.
Questions about disruption and inspection
“What is the sequence for plan furniture moves, after-hours work, transitions, and business access?” Ask about access, temporary shutdowns, material delivery, protection, inspection scheduling, and cleanup.
Questions to ask before signing
“What happens if hidden conditions change the scope?” Moisture or uneven slabs can undermine an otherwise sound flooring installation. Confirm who approves changes, how pricing is documented, and what workmanship warranty and exclusions apply.
Local project considerations
For an occupied commercial property, discuss tenant notifications, accessible circulation, business hours, utility interruptions, and the local authority having jurisdiction.

Before requesting a proposal
Share photographs, approximate dimensions, the desired finished result, and any known defects. For commercial flooring replacement, explicitly mention: survey substrate condition, moisture, flatness, and existing flooring removal needs; compare lvt, carpet tile, resilient sheet, or other finishes for traffic and maintenance; and plan furniture moves, after-hours work, transitions, and business access. Ask the contractor to identify assumptions in writing.
