Vinyl flooring installers are responsible for laying down vinyl floors as part of a construction project or for private clients. In this role, your job duties may include removing old flooring, measuring the floor space to determine how much material is needed, cutting the flooring to fit, attaching the flooring and ensuring it is straight and secure, and disposing of broken or damaged pieces. Flooring contractors meet with clients to provide quotes on the cost and timeframe of their flooring project, then they coordinate staff to install the flooring. Most flooring installers do not focus exclusively on vinyl products; they typically work with many other types of materials. Vinyl flooring installers may be full-time employees for one company or work as an independent contractor for various businesses or private clients.
