What does an entry level flooring installer do?

An entry level flooring installer assists with the installation, repair, and replacement of various types of flooring such as carpet, hardwood, laminate, and tile. Their tasks typically include preparing surfaces, measuring and cutting materials, laying flooring, and cleaning up job sites.
