Wood floors

[rlskfoster]

I had a lady call me today looking for information about wood floor installa. She told me thay were having a house built and the wood flooring looked horrible. She stated that they had an inspector look at the house and he told them poor workmanship was evident. I told her that I would only be able to do the same because I don't know the specifics about installation.

Does anyone know of a flooring forum or website like the Brick website that I could go to or refer this lady to.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks.

If she can provide you with the manufacturers name and model number of the wood floor, you can go to their website and get their installation instructions.

Thanks for the web sites and I'll pass that on about the manufacturers installation instructions.

Thanks again Donald.

The National Association of Homebuilders' "Residential Construction Performance Guidelines" was published specifically to address disagreements between buyers and builders such as this one.

It has several sections on wood flooring.
