The INSTALL Warranty Guarantee
Becoming an INSTALL Warranty Contractor is more than a certification—it’s a commitment to excellence. IWCs employ highly trained, INSTALL-certified installers specializing in carpet, resilient flooring, hardwood, and substrate preparation. This certification ensures that projects meet the highest standards in the industry.
When an IWC wins a project, INSTALL provides an additional layer of protection by backing the installation with a free, extended warranty on labor in addition to any existing manufacturer warranties. This added assurance is rooted in INSTALL’s dedication to quality, training, and accountability.
“Our partnership with these new IWCs strengthens INSTALL’s mission to uphold the highest standards in the flooring industry,” said David Gross, INSTALL executive director. “Their commitment to certification, ongoing education, and professionalism aligns perfectly with INSTALL’s culture of integrity and excellence.”
