We have recently received some questions about the importance of choosing a Certified Floorcovering Installer (CFI Installer). A CFI Installer has completed appropriate floor installation training and testing and has signed an agreement stating that they will adhere to the CFI standards as well as the manufacturer's flooring installation recommendations. When hiring a CFI installer, you can also rest assured that your flooring installer will guarantee their work and return to your home or business should a problem occur with the floor after installation. In addition, CFI installers are also trained to leave your floor clean and looking its best after installation in order to showcase the floor's beauty.

Floor installers with at least 2 years of experience can qualify for CFI Residential I and Commercial I ratings while those with at least 4 years of experience can qualify for Residential II and Commercial II ratings. Flooring installers with the CFI Master and Master II ratings can also hand-sew woven and other delicate carpets. Though all qualified flooring installers are not necessarily CFI certified, it is a clear indication of a professional floor installer that takes his or her work seriously.
