Disputes do arise involving basic wood floors lacking decoration or embellishment to ultra high-end floors with complex custom design medallions, inlay and borders. So whether you need assistance resolving an installation problem, cause, cure or disputes, we can help. Many clients purchase homes and later discover wood flooring problems that were not disclosed by the seller or reported by their home inspector. These issues may have been camouflaged and some may have been in plain view but missed. Regardless of the reason, you may need our help reaching a settlement with responsible parties for oversights, omissions, and in some instances fraud.
We are members of the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) Certified Professional Wood Flooring Inspectors with International Code Council (ICC) Certifications. This class of inspectors are similar to Structural Evaluators or Engineers in the practice of doing specific tasks. We provide a level of comfort to clients looking for answers to wood flooring issues that are known, unknown or undisclosed. Wood flooring issues is our specialty.
