We do not guarantee the sub-floor of any kind unless we installed said sub-floor. Additionally, installation of floor covering materials will only be level and smooth if customer consents to paying the added expense of leveling the sub-floor. If the unevenness of the sub-floor is noticeably excessive, Flooring Masters will inform the customer. However, it is the customer’s responsibility to let the installer know that leveling the floor is desired. Furthermore, tile is a man made product; as such it’s not perfect. In addition to flaws in the sub-floor, flaws in manufacturing of tile can cause tile to have a subtle height differential from one to the other. Grout lines help hide this effect. Marble and granite is typically installed without a grout line. We adhere to a 1/8 inch grout line unless otherwise specified and the customer understand that tile typically will not be smooth due to the reasons before mentioned.

We do not take up vinyl tile floors due to asbestos concerns, unless said vinyl tile has been tested.

In preparing the area(s) for installation it can be common to find "unforeseen" problems. IE: it is discovered that the floor joist are rotting when a sub-floor is being prepared for installation. In which case, additional charges will incur. Additionally, minor damage to appliances, tub/showers and cabinet facings have been known to happen due to the nature of demolition. We will cosmetically repair such damage to the best of our ability; however, you accept this reality and therefore agree to hold us harmless.

Our professional installers use the best equipment and methods to seam your floors. However, carpet seams are often not totally invisible, especially if they are low cut pile or Berber loop. Vinyl seams may be visible due to seam sealers and will be more noticeable especially if the vinyl pattern has no continuous grout lines.

Tile hazes over after being grouted. The day after grouting, it is the customer’s responsibility to buff tile. Doing so will bring out the luster of the tile. If left unattended to long grout will cure and be harder to remove.

After allowing grout to cure for 3 to 5 days, it is advised that the consumer seal the grout. This is a simple process. We leave a complimentary can of spray sealer with instructions for use.
