Should flooring installers be certified or licensed?

<div>When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local general contractor guidelines. Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:<ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

What are my options when it comes to countertops?

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/countertop-types-materials.htm">countertop options</a> available to fit your lifestyle and needs. <ul><li>Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.</li><li>Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.</li><li>Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.</li><li>Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.</li><li>Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.</li><li>Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.</li><li>Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.</li><li>Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.</li></ul></div>

Jack Johnson, the Marble Repair Technician, did a masterful job and the sink looks great. He used plastic sheeting to protect various items from the cultured marble dust created by the repair process and cleaned up very well after completing the job. I would definitely use Jack Johnson again.
