Flooring subcontractors, and the work they bid

More flooring failures are caused by the slab than by the flooring, and more flooring disputes are caused by nobody agreeing who was supposed to test it. Post the scope with your substrate conditions and get bids that address moisture head-on, or find flooring packages open for bid near you.

What gets bid

Scopes flooring bids usually cover

A posted scope can be any part of this. The more of it the drawings settle up front, the closer the bids come back to each other.

Substrate preparation, grinding and moisture testing
Self-levelling and patching
Carpet tile and broadloom
LVT, VCT and resilient sheet
Tile, stone and hardwood
Polished concrete, base and transitions

Hiring flooring crews

What to check before you award

Who owns the moisture test: Relative humidity testing to ASTM F2170 is the single most consequential line in a flooring scope. If the bid doesn't say who tests and who pays for mitigation if it fails, that argument is scheduled for later — after the adhesive has already failed.
Manufacturer certification for the product: Most flooring warranties require a certified installer for that specific system. For tile, INSTALL or CTEF credentials are the equivalent signal.
A real prep allowance: Nobody can see the substrate under existing flooring. A stated per-square-foot leveling allowance is far more useful than a bid that assumed the slab was flat.

Bidding flooring work

What makes a bid win this trade

Put moisture testing on its own line: Carry the test, and carry mitigation as a stated unit price rather than an assumption. It is the clearest signal to a GC that you have done commercial work before.
Quote prep as an allowance: A prep allowance with a clear rate beyond it protects your margin and reads as honesty rather than hedging.
Address phasing and furniture: On occupied space, who moves what and when you can work are half the job. Pricing them explicitly wins occupied-building work.
