Sometimes during the installation of various flooring products, the subfloor of a project requires work to be completed to prepare for a quality installation. At the time of sale, it is impossible to see the condition of the subfloor and such any work required to prepare the subfloor for a quality installation will be completed at an additional charge. Depending on the work required, including grinding of existing concrete subfloors and/or the application of subfloor leveling material, can cause dust or other material to be released into the surrounding air. Exposure to this dust, or other materials, for long periods of time can possibly be dangerous. It is recommended to avoid the inhalation of this dust, or other materials. and engage a professional cleaning service provider to thoroughly clean the impacted space once the work is completed. Express Flooring will in no way be held liable or responsible for any costs or claims associated with this dust, or other materials, used during the installation and subfloor preparation work including for health-related issues, health related treatment, materials abatement, or removal.

All warranties regarding product defect(s) are predicated on a pro-rated basis and all product will be equally credited by the total amount of the contract price, divided by the length of the product warranty, to determine a yearly rate, which will be multiplied by the number of years the customer used the product to determine the usage value for offset purposes. Further, all product defects or replacements (of any type) after a 2-year period, the consumer will be solely responsible to pay for all labor costs.

Regarding repairs for installation related issues, all service requests placed over 2 years from the original installation date will be subject to a $50 processing fee. If consumer fails to supply this payment, they effectively waive all rights and claims in relation to any labor warranty listed on their original contract. If repairs are possible, Express Flooring reserves the right to repair any issues as opposed to replacing any flooring. In the unlikely event that you need to have your carpet re-stretched after two years it would not be the result of improper installation but part of the normal maintenance and would require a charge. Warranties do not carry any cash value. Should any consumer deny Express Flooring access to their job site to warranty the flooring installed, they waive all rights and claims in relation to any warranties listed on their contract with Express Flooring. Consumer is responsible to report any issues with their flooring to Express Flooring within 72 hours of them developing. Failure to do so may negate any responsibility and/or liability Express Flooring has to any flooring installed.

Express Flooring is not responsible for problems arising from underlayment not installed by us, nor are we responsible for movement and/or settling of any concrete slabs and/or modular homes. All warranties for all flooring are predicated on proper care & maintenance and are void if damages occur in relation to improper maintenance, customer abuse, acts of God, or any circumstances beyond the control of Express Flooring. All warranties exclude damages in relation to discoloration from asphalt driveways, indentations from high heeled shoes, scratches, and/or damages caused by chairs, tables, appliances, pets, and/or other objects. The use of chair mats designed for floating floors is required to protect plank locking mechanisms from damage caused by rolling chairs. Wood & laminate flooring should not be cleaned with water and/or subjected to excessive moisture and/or humidity, as it may damage your flooring. Flooring must be subjected to reasonable and consistent temperatures, year-round. Failure to keep home climatized between 60 -80 degrees effectively voids all labor and material warranties and will likely cause damage to your flooring.

All material and product warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturers. Stain resistant warranties, soil resistant warranties, texture retention warranties, scratch resistance warranties, tear resistant warranties, fade resistant warranties all vary depending upon the product and manufacturer and are also not to be confused with quality assurance or wear warranties. In order to keep all carpet warranties in effect the consumer must have carpet professionally cleaned at least once a year and have receipts to validate such.

Manufacturer warranties are the sole responsibility and liability of the manufacturer. Express Flooring reserves the right to extend any warranties at their discretion. Any extensions of warranty must be in writing on the original contract (sales draft) to be valid. In such case that Express Flooring extends any manufacturer warranty, the Manufacturer will be solely responsible for their original warranty. Express Flooring shall only be responsible for any warranty extensions after, and only after, the original manufacturer warranty has expired.

Warranties are not transferrable unless expressly stated on the original sales draft. In the event that Express Flooring allows a warranty to transfer from the original homeowner, it is only the material warranties that will transfer. The lifetime installation warranty is not transferable under any circumstances and is only available to individual(s) named on the original sales draft.

Please remember that flooring will be as good to you, as you are to it. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to preserve the quality and durability of your flooring. Not properly maintaining the flooring IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS will void any and all manufacturer as well as Express Flooring warranties.

Seasonal Changes & what to expect: (all flooring installation methods).

Seasonal gapping should be expected in all wood flooring and does not constitute a product failure. It is normal that wood floors will be affected by fluctuating levels of humidity within your home. Care should be taken to control humidity levels to within the 30-50% range and maintain temperatures of 60-80°F. To protect your investment and to assure that your floors provide lasting satisfaction, note the recommendations below:

(Dry) Heating Season –A humidifier may be needed to prevent excessive shrinkage in wood floors due to low humidity levels. Wood stoves, radiant floor heat and electric heat will create dryer conditions.

(Humid, Wet) Non – Heating Season – Proper humidity levels can be maintained by use of an air conditioner or dehumidifier. Avoid excessive exposure to water during periods of inclement weather. Do not obstruct expansion joints around the perimeter of your floor.

Customer understand that wood flooring is a natural product, and the home must be environmentally maintained. Consequently, the installation warranty and manufacturer warranty is void if the customer does not follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintaining humidity levels and temperatures in their home.

Fiber Glass Sheet Goods warranties are conditioned. Fiber Glass Sheet Goods must be installed in an environment that maintains a temperature range of 55º to 85º F. Although very durable and made to last these products can still be subject to scratching, scuffing, tearing, and ripping if not cared for properly. These are all inherent downsides of selecting this type of flooring surface. The circumstances listed above are not considered either manufacturer defects or installation problems and as such will not be covered under any manufacturer or installation warranties. Warranty conditions will not be covered if caused by job site environmental conditions in new construction or renovation work.

To protect and preserve your investment, the homeowner is responsible to maintain ambient humidity levels in the home within a range of 35%-65%. Excessive and/or lack of humidity may cause wood and/or laminate flooring to fail. Failures related to lack of, or excessive humidity are not manufacturing or installation related issues and will not be covered under any manufacturer product warranty or labor warranty offered by Express Flooring.

Making any modifications affecting the ability of the laminate floor to float appropriately after installation will negate any and all warranties. As this inhibits the floor’s ability to expand or contract and therefore is not an installation or manufacturer’s defect. Examples include but are not limited to installing cabinets or appliances on top of the floor, installation of new walls, and changes with door location or size.

To protect and preserve your investment, the homeowner is responsible to maintain ambient humidity levels in the home within a range of 35%-65%. Excessive and/or lack of humidity may cause wood and/or laminate flooring to fail. Failures related to lack of, or excessive humidity are not manufacturing or installation related issues and will not be covered under any manufacturer product warranty or labor warranty offered by Express Flooring.

If, at or before the time of installation, it is suspected or determined that asbestos is present, Buyer will be required to test for the presence of asbestos, and Express Flooring will STOP installation until the Buyer has the asbestos removed by a licensed abatement company. The abatement company must follow all applicable federal and state asbestos regulations and must provide a clean air or clearance sampling certificate to resume installation. Express Flooring will in no way be held liable or responsible for any costs or claims associated with asbestos treatment, abatement, or removal.
