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>

How do I keep my floors clean?

<div>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-floors-clean.htm">tips to keep your floors clean</a> to help keep them looking sparkling until your next professional visit. Sweeping and vacuuming regularly will help reduce the dirt, debris, and pet hair from accumulating. Placing doormats at every entrance will help keep some of the dirt outside, helping to minimize the dirt that ends up on your floors. In addition, using the correct stain-removing methods for your floor type will help properly remove them without damaging your floors. </div>

"I hired the provider in April 2024 to complete flooring work and replace a shower. Since then, I’ve experienced two main issues — the grout on the shower bench is coming loose and the flooring wasn’t installed properly. On top of that, the provider caused damage to my property, including holes in the wall. The last time I heard from them was on March 14th, 2025, when they said they would come back to fix everything, but they never returned. I paid approximately $10,700 in cash and signed a contract for the work, which included a five-year warranty. At this point, I’m simply asking for them to come back and complete the job as promised."

FAQs for floor repair projects in Alto, GA

The cost of flooring installation is $3,000 for the average homeowner. This cost can range from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the project size, flooring material, and any special features. For example, if stairs need new flooring, you can expect to pay about $11 to $160 per step. Additionally, hardwood flooring costs significantly more than linoleum, with hardwood ranging from $6 to $22 per square foot and linoleum costing $3 to $7 per square foot.

You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.

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 state licensing tool 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:

The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.

For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50 per square foot.

There are a few tips to keep your floors clean to help keep them looking sparkling until your next professional visit. Sweeping and vacuuming regularly will help reduce the dirt, debris, and pet hair from accumulating.

Placing doormats at every entrance will help keep some of the dirt outside, helping to minimize the dirt that ends up on your floors. In addition, using the correct stain-removing methods for your floor type will help properly remove them without damaging your floors.
