What You Receive

A Clearer Starting Point for Your Floor

Frontier reviews the visible information you provide and identifies the practical questions that should guide repair, refinishing, or replacement.

Current Floor Condition

A practical review of the visible wear, finish condition, movement, staining, gaps, and other concerns shown.

Repairable Damage

Visible areas that may be candidates for repair, board replacement, screening, sanding, or another corrective step.

Refinish Potential

Whether the visible floor appears worth evaluating for sanding and refinishing instead of full replacement.

Replacement Recommendation

When replacement may be the more practical path because of damage, product type, wear, moisture concerns, or project goals.

Best Flooring Options

Relevant material or finish directions to discuss based on the room, existing floor, substrate, and how the space is used.

Approximate Project Scope

The likely work categories to plan for before Frontier prepares a measured, written in-home estimate.

What a Photo Review Can—and Cannot—Confirm

Photos can reveal visible wear, scratches, staining, gaps, damaged boards, finish failure, and the general floor type. They cannot reliably confirm moisture below the floor, remaining wear-layer thickness, substrate conditions, hidden damage, or exact measurements.

The Floor Condition Report is a preliminary planning tool, not a formal inspection. Frontier may recommend an in-home evaluation before advising on the final scope.

Common Questions
Can Frontier tell from photos whether my floor should be refinished or replaced?+

Photos can help Frontier identify visible wear, damage, floor type, and likely next steps. The photo review is preliminary. Thickness, moisture, substrate conditions, hidden damage, and exact project scope may require an in-home evaluation.

What photos should I send?+

Send a wide photo of the full room, close photos of the damaged or worn areas, and photos of floor edges, transitions, thresholds, or vents when accessible. Natural light and multiple angles are helpful.

Do I need to know what type of flooring I have?+

No. Share what you know and include clear photos. Frontier can use the visible details to help determine what should be confirmed during the evaluation.

Is the Floor Condition Report free?+

Yes. Frontier offers the preliminary photo review and free in-home flooring estimates for projects in its normal Pinellas County and nearby Tampa Bay service area.
