How to Choose a Flooring Contractor in Vancouver — Red Flags to Watch | TelTac Contracting

Not all flooring contractors are equal. Learn what to look for, what questions to ask, and which red flags mean you should walk away.

What to Look For

Check Google reviews (look for 4.5+ stars with 50+ reviews). Verify WorkSafeBC coverage and liability insurance. Ask for written quotes that include all prep, materials, and cleanup. Visit their showroom if possible.

Red Flags

No written contract, cash-only payments, no physical address, unwilling to provide references, and quotes significantly below market rate. Quality installation costs more upfront but saves thousands in re-dos.

Questions to Ask

How long have you been in business? Do you subcontract or use your own crew? What warranty do you offer? Can I see recent projects? Is subfloor prep included?
