Valenti Floor Inspections can help identify causes and solutions for faulty floors.  Wood floors can exhibit problems due to improper environmental conditions, installation methods, sanding or finishing techniques, manufacturer defects, or a combination of all of the above.  Sometimes an inspection may find that floors which from the customer’s perspective have a “problem" are well within industry standards, or may be a natural characteristic of the wood that the customer may not have fully understood. The inspection may also identify other issues within the facility or below the floor that can be causing the floor failure.  After gathering all the facts, Valenti Floor Inspections will write a full comprehensive report detailing our findings.  Our professional, technical reports are written in strict compliance with the National Wood Flooring Association Certified Inspector report-writing guidelines.

Valenti Flooring Inspections also provides information to help our clients prevent flooring failures.  We can perform a complete facility analysis to determine potential flaws in job site structures and subfloors, recommend specific types of flooring that will perform best, and identify costs involved.  Hiring NWFA-Certified Valenti Floor Inspections is an investment in the future success of your flooring.
