The Floor Coverings International® Difference
Insurance claims often require detailed documentation, accurate measurements, and a clearly defined scope of work. Our team provides comprehensive flooring assessments and itemized proposals that help property owners, restoration partners, and public adjusters in Waukesha evaluate the full extent of flooring replacement needs.
By combining flooring expertise with our in-home consultation process, we help simplify communication and reduce uncertainty throughout the project.
Identifying Damage Beyond What's Visible
Not all flooring damage is immediately apparent.
Moisture intrusion can impact subfloors, cause material expansion, contribute to warping, or create issues beneath the surface that may not be included in an initial visual assessment. After a thorough inspection of your floor covering, insurance adjusters and property owners can feel confident about getting things back to normal.
Our Design Associates and installation professionals take a thorough approach to evaluating damaged carpet and flooring so that replacement recommendations reflect the full scope of the project whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with insurance adjusters?
We regularly provide documentation, measurements, and detailed flooring estimates that can assist homeowners and insurance professionals during the claims process.
Can you help determine whether flooring needs to be replaced?
We can inspect the affected area and provide recommendations based on the visible condition of the flooring and related installation requirements. We can also send product samples directly to ITEL for analysis as needed.
What types of insurance-related flooring projects do you handle?
We assist with flooring replacement projects involving water damage, flood or storm damage, appliance leaks, and other covered property-loss situations. Each Design Associate also carries a moisture meter in their tool bag so we can inspect for any remaining or hidden moisture in the flooring materials or the substrate under the floor.
Should I trust that my insurance provider is covering my loss fairly?
Insurance adjusters are not home improvement professionals and they rely on local professionals and a program called Xactimate to come up with a general budget for your loss. It’s always good to have a trusted local flooring professional like Floor Coverings International in Waukesha review the insurance quote to make sure the insurance adjuster provided adequate budget to repair your loss. When you hire Floor Coverings International, we can work with your insurance adjuster and provide them with a quote using “Like Kind and Quality” materials that is fully broken down for them to analyze. This ensures you are getting the full value from your insurance policy after your loss.
Can I choose different flooring than what was previously installed?
In many cases, homeowners choose to upgrade materials during the replacement process. When upgrading, the insured will be required to pay the difference in the material and labor costs for the upgraded materials. Insurance providers generally will cover losses for “Like Kind and Quality” materials and will provide an estimate to get you back to pre-loss condition. Final coverage decisions depend on the terms of your insurance policy.
Do you offer in-home consultations?
Yes. Our Mobile Flooring Showroom® brings flooring samples directly to your home so you can compare options in your own lighting and space.
