    1. Choosing the wrong contractor
      \n<\/strong>The lowest bid does not equal the best. Be sure to do your research before selecting a contractor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n
          \n
        1. Not being practical
          \n<\/strong>Many people think that wood floors are a practical option. Pets\u2019 nails can quickly cause serious damage to hardwood floors. Young children can cause more wear and tear on hardwood floors.\"\"<\/li>\n
        2. Not ordering extra materials
          \n<\/strong>When it comes to flooring, ordering up to 20% extra flooring is recommended. Since flooring is prone to cuts and breakage during installation, having extra material is a safe bet, since there is no guarantee you will be able to find an exact match.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Measurement mistakes
            \n<\/strong>It is very important to be accurate when measuring for new cabinets. This can be a very costly mistake. Measure, then re-measure, and then re-measure again to be sure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
