What do flooring services include?

Find good flooring contractors near you through our platform who can install, maintain, and repair your floors. Whether you're having a new house built, getting your home remodelled, or planning to apply small upgrades to a specific room, Taskers got you covered. Here's what you can expect:

Flooring installation

Taskers can take care of your flooring and installation needs, no matter what the type of flooring you want to have in your home. Whether it's carpet, hardwood, vinyl, ceramics, or laminate, your Tasker can get the job done for you. 

Each type has a different installation process, but an essential aspect when it comes to floor installation is moving breakables, furniture and appliances, as well as addressing concerns related to heating and electricity. 

These need to be considered beforehand to ensure a smooth installation with excellent results. You can consult your Tasker about which type of flooring suits you the best, and they can give you tips that can help you decide.

Flooring maintenance

Since you step on your floors every day, it's inevitable for them to get dirty and worn-out no matter how sturdy they are. Regular flooring maintenance doesn't just give your home a cleaner and more organised look, but it also saves you from potential damages that can lead to floor repairs and replacements.

While you can maintain your floors on your own, it's always best to leave it to the professionals to make sure every spot is well-maintained. Along with maintenance, you can also get someone to clean your floors regularly. Each type of flooring has a particular proper care and maintenance process. Make sure to talk to your Tasker about your floor's current condition, and let them help!

Flooring repair

Are your floor tiles suffering from cracks and damaged grout? Or does your hardwood floor have gaps in the planks and split wood? No matter what it is, Taskers can handle all sorts of flooring problems caused by spillage, pets, furniture moving, and others.

Getting a trusted flooring repair professional ensures that you'll get floors fixed to avoid further damages and unexpected accidents. Feel free to walk your Tasker through the issues you're having so they can come up with a concrete repair plan that suits your floor type.

Flooring upgrades

If you love your current flooring but want to take it up a notch, professional flooring upgrade services are ideal! Updating your floors can brighten up your space, and add appeal and excitement whenever you enter your home or room. You can book someone to add a stair runner, have a carpet floor fitting, or lay down a checkerboard print or any design.

You can also get someone to waterproof your bathroom floors, or give your kitchen floors a makeover! For a complete look, have your bathroom remodelled and your kitchen renovated to go with your newly-upgraded floors!

Floor polishing

Floor restoration and polishing services include everything you may need for smooth and glossy floors! Having your floors regularly cleaned and polished can give you a lot of benefits. From stripping and scrubbing to waxing and floor buffing, booking floor polishing near you can take care of your needs. This service is perfect after constructing your house, renovating your rooms, or if you just want your floors deep cleaned and polished to perfection! 

Wood floor refinishing

Wood floors come in various finishes, and you can choose one that suits your budget and needs. From urethane and shellac to aluminium oxide, different floor finishes have multiple factors for your consideration. For instance, urethane finishes tend to be affordable but need a touchup every couple of years. There are water- and oil-based variants that differ in terms of dos and don’ts for maintenance. Aluminium oxide finishes are some of the best options you have for durability. They are said to last for up to 25 years, but they do come at a cost. Make sure to decide what finish to use for your project before booking wood floor refinishing services.
