What types of flooring do you offer? A: We carry a wide range of flooring materials, including hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl (LVT/LVP), tile & stone, carpet, waterproof flooring, porcelain slabs, and marble.
Do you provide installation services? A: Yes — we offer full professional installation services. This includes removal of existing flooring, preparing the subfloor, installation of the new flooring, and a clean-up of the area after the work is done.
Do you offer financing or payment plans? A: Yes — Bode Floors provides special financing options. For example, there’s a 12-month no interest payment plan available.
How long has Bode Floors been in business? A: Bode Floors has been serving the Columbia, MD area (and Greater Baltimore) for several decades, providing expertise and quality in flooring choices and installation.
What warranties do you offer? A: There are warranties both from the manufacturer and via the installation. For specifics, it depends on the flooring type and brand. (Customers should check with us for detailed warranty terms.)
How do I choose the right flooring material for my room? A: Consider the room’s moisture level (e.g. bathroom vs. dry areas), foot traffic, desired look (color, wood/grain/pattern), maintenance demands, and budget. Our team can help with in-home or showroom consultations to match style, performance, and cost.
What is the process to get a quote or estimate? A: Contact us via our website or visit the showroom. We can arrange measurements, discuss your project requirements (style, material, room size), and provide a quote. Some projects may require an on-site visit to assess subfloor condition, etc.
How should I care for and maintain my flooring? A: Maintenance depends on the flooring type. Common tips include: sweep or vacuum regularly (using tools safe for your floor), clean spills immediately, avoid using too much water, use manufacturer-approved cleaners, place rugs or mats in high-traffic or entryway areas, use felt pads under furniture. Hardwood especially needs special care to avoid warping, scratches, and finish wear.
Can hardwood floors be refinished or restored? A: Yes. Many hardwood floors can be restored (refinished, re-coated, etc.) to bring back their luster and extend their lifespan. The feasibility depends on how thick the wear layer is, how damaged the floor is, and what finish was used.
Do you offer free estimates or measurements? A: This can vary. It’s best to contact us directly to confirm your location / project.
Do you carry eco-friendly or sustainable flooring options? A: There are increasing queries about sustainable / green flooring (low VOC, responsibly sourced wood, etc.). We work with many brands, so we can explore those options. (Check product lines or talk to sales staff for specifics.)
How long does flooring installation take? A: Installation times depend on material, the size and state of the area, prep work needed (e.g. old floor removal, subfloor repair), and finishing. Our team will provide an estimated timeline when quoting the project.
What should I do while the installation is happening? A: We recommend being prepared for some noise and disruption. Clear the area of furniture; ensure pets and children are safe. Installer will clean up after; you may need to avoid walking on new floors for a certain curing time depending on material.
What are your hours of operation? A: Our showrooms have set business hours — please check our website or call for our current hours, especially for weekend or evening hours.
