- The customer must ensure the work area is fully vacated before the installers arrive. If this is not done, two options are available:
1. We will provide a quote for furniture removal. If the customer does not accept this, the second option will be applied.
2. We will reschedule the project, and rescheduling fees will be charged based on the number of contractors assigned to the job.
10. The condition of the sub-floor
As a flooring contractor, we offer two options for addressing uneven subf-loors:
- Floor Preparation – a cost-effective option
- Floor Leveling – a more comprehensive, higher-cost option
Definition of Floor Preparation
Floor Preparation involves the process of cleaning, flattening, and priming the subfloor to ensure it is ready for the installation of new flooring. This step addresses uneven surfaces, removes debris, and ensures that the subfloor is in suitable condition to support the flooring material. Floor preparation does not guarantee that the entire surface will be leveled but ensures it is stable and smooth enough for installation.
Definition of Floor Leveling
Floor Leveling is the process of bringing the entire floor in a property to the same level. This involves correcting significant unevenness in the subfloor by using leveling compounds or other materials to fill in low spots and create a uniform, flat surface. This ensures that the flooring sits evenly throughout the space, preventing potential issues such as gaps, buckling, or uneven wear.
By selecting one of these services, the customer confirms they fully understand the differences and accepts responsibility for their choice. If the customer decides not to proceed with either service or hires another team for these services, MCF will not be held liable for any issues caused by the uneven subfloor, and the one-year flooring or carpet installation warranty will be void.
11. Dispute Resolution
11.1. Any disputes or claims arising from MCF’s products or services shall be resolved through arbitration in accordance with the rules of the VCAT/Magistrates Court of Victoria.
Acknowledgment
