Color match to samples will vary from dye lot to dye lot. Buyer agrees to accept color variances that fall within industry-established ranges. Hardwood and stone products are natural materials that will have color variations such as variations from heartwood to sapwood, mineral streaks, and variations in the grain.
Foot printing/shading: Expect to see foot prints, vacuum tracks and shading in the carpet. These are unavoidable because of the high luster and softer materials of today’s carpet yarns.
Dust: Installing new flooring may cause a considerable amount of dust. Please take adequate measures to protect your belongings. The dust cannot be contained to just the areas being installed.
Squeaks: We cannot repair existing floor squeaks or guarantee that any attempt to do so will be effective.
Doors: We assume no responsibility for cutting doors. Installers can remove doors to install flooring, but we are not responsible for cutting or replacing doors if the new flooring does not provide adequate clearance.
Walls, Baseboards & Drywall: Even though the installers will take all normal precautions when new flooring is installed, it may be necessary to touch up the paint, baseboards and or drywall after installation. This is the responsibility of the customer. Floor Source will not be liable for any damages or touch ups.
Seams may be visible on carpet & vinyl installations. Where seaming is necessary the carpet/vinyl will be seamed according to the best-known method, and to industry standards for the material involved. The visibility of your seams will depend on the type of carpet/vinyl, lighting, and direction of seam. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned on the order in writing, seams will be left to the discretion of the installer.
Existing or subfloors not installed by Floor Source: Installing new hard surface floors without the required sub-floor will void all installation warranties and may affect the manufacturer’s warranty as well. Problems arising from underlayment not installed by us or from any floor structure issue are not our responsibility and are not covered by the warranties.
Unforeseen structural issues/Floor Prep: Many structural issues cannot be seen until the old flooring is removed. If the installers find any structural issues during installation such as termite damage, water damage, structural subflooring or foundation issues, the install will be stopped until the customer is able to remedy the structural issues with others. “BASIC” floor prep is included on hard surface projects, however, after existing floor covering is removed and the subfloor is revealed additional cost for prep may be required at customer’s expense for crack grinding, crack membrane, self-leveling, etc.
Delivery & Installation: Delivery and installation may be delayed because of reasons beyond Floor Sources’ control such as weather, production delays, shipping delays, fires, accidents, strikes, lock-outs, pandemics and governmental acts. Buyer agrees that Floor Source is not responsible for delays or failures in delivery or installation caused by reasons beyond Floor Sources’ control. Floor Source is not responsible for any consequential damages or costs arising from the occurrence of any event as described in this paragraph.
Plumbing: Toilets, pedestal sinks, and gas appliances are the responsibility of the customer. A professional plumber is required at the customer’s expense for all plumbing needs. Floor Source will not be held liable for any damages related to the removing and resetting of plumbing fixtures, connection hoses and or shut off valves.
Furniture Moving

Remove items from closet floors and all low hanging garments. China cabinets should have contents and glass removed by the customer prior to moving.
