Lifetime Warranty
At Better Call Paul Flooring, we take pride in providing high-quality flooring solutions. Please note that the 'Lifetime Warranties' associated with our flooring products are provided exclusively by the manufacturers of the materials used in our installations. These warranties can vary based on the specific material chosen and the manufacturer's guidelines for care, maintenance, and use. As such, each warranty is unique, and the extent of coverage may differ. Customers are encouraged to review and understand the specific warranty associated with their chosen product. Detailed information on each manufacturer's warranty is available upon written request. Better Call Paul Flooring does not independently offer a lifetime warranty; our role is to facilitate access to the manufacturer's warranty for the materials we install. Adherence to the manufacturer’s guidelines for care and maintenance is crucial for the validity of these warranties.

Suggestions for Protecting Your Refinished Floor
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your refinished floor, we recommend placing rugs and mats in high-traffic areas to minimize wear and tear. Avoid direct sunlight and UV light exposure by using curtains or blinds, as prolonged exposure can cause fading. Regularly clean your floors with a soft broom or vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment, and avoid using water or steam mops. Protect your floors from furniture by using felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents. Additionally, clean spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid cleaners that contain ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals.
Claims Process
To initiate a warranty claim, contact our customer service team to schedule an inspection of the affected area. Our team will assess the issue and determine the appropriate coverage based on the warranty tier. If the issue is covered under the warranty, we will perform the necessary repairs or refinishing at the specified coverage rate. If we determine that the issue is not covered under the warranty, we will provide you with a detailed explanation of why the claim is not valid and offer recommendations for how to address the issue.
