I was told by a local flooring retailer that in Florida all installers are independent contractors. Some of them may have been working for the same store for a long time but they are not considered employees. Make sure your full contract is with the retail store and they assume responsibility for the workmanship and behavior of the installer they select.
You can buy the finest flooring product in the country but it only takes one jerk installer to destroy it. Caveat emptor is no longer strong enough.
