What type of contractor does flooring? Question
If I'm looking to pay someone to replace my floors (eg. carpet, laminate, hardwood), what is this service called? Would I be looking for a contractor, handyman, floorer or something else?
I am asking in the US.

When we were looking to replace a kitchen floor (in the US), we got our best results by searching for the type of flooring, not the type of provider. Tile, hardwood, and vinyl plank are pretty different from each other, and while there are generalists who will happily sell you any of them, reviews and recommendations steered us toward people who specialized in the specific material we wanted.
That said, they all tended to use the word "flooring" in their service descriptions.
