In-Progress Quality Inspections for Flooring

The In-Progress Quality Inspections workflow helps flooring contractors verify installations throughout the project. It includes reviewing subfloor prep, adhesive application, seam alignment, and finish quality as work advances. By standardizing this process, flooring companies reduce warranty claims, protect profitability, and improve efficiency. Clients benefit from confidence that flooring is installed correctly at every stage. Teams gain accountability through documented inspections and corrective steps. With this workflow in place, flooring contractors can strengthen professionalism, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably with consistent, polished results that build long-term trust.
