Wood Floor Consulting

Wood Floor Consulting is the one thing most flooring companies are not: a practice that looks at a wood floor and tells you what went wrong. Robert Tucker runs it out of Danvers as a hardwood floor inspector and consultant, working through the failures homeowners and their contractors argue about — buckling, cupping, crowning, delamination and the rest. What he sells is the diagnosis, not the fix. His practice is set up around four questions: what caused the problem, what could have prevented it, whether it can be repaired and how, and how to keep it from happening again. If your floor has failed and you need to know whether it is the material, the subfloor, the moisture or the installation, that is the call. Hire him for the assessment, then take his findings to whoever does the repair — and since nothing beyond his own practice is on file here, ask what certifications he holds and for references from recent inspections before you book.
