Make sure you check out the moisture content of the base. Whether it is concrete or wood. I had my wood floor installed by one our advertisers and he failed to check the moisture. The flooring is curling up all over the place. The installer told me to call the mfg. The mfg told me about the moisture check. I call the installer if he had checked the moisture and he never returned my calls. A call to the NH AG office and was told there is a NH law that contractors and subcontractors are responsible for their work up to a year after installation.

Actually, what happened pointed out another problem. I had my crawlspace checked. The builder purposely did not install an access panel. A building inspector says there was suppose to be one. There were no moisture barrier on the ground and the beams and sills were rotted out. No wonder I am sanding down the doors to make them fit!

The contractor the insurance company hired to replace the frames told me I was lucky the building did not cave in! Make sure you have a reliable contractor/subcontractor for building and or remodeling.

I DIY the flooring the second time around. It was fun!
