When you’re looking for floor stores near you keep in mind that it’s all about the customer service of that particular store. Does the store offer free estimates, how fast will they get to your property and measure so you can get the flooring done. Will their prices be competitive and do they have the capabilities to first get your materials and then get you on the schedule fast.
Buying floors should not be a difficult process. Try to get as much info as you can before going to a floor store near you and that way you are not spending your valuable time floor shopping when there is so much more for you to do.
The fear with home owners is always paying to much for either the product or the job itself. Get yourself a pen and paper and visit several stores to see what their bottom line price is on the material and installation.
As consumers it’s hard to know when you are getting a good deal. For instance, if you need someone to install the engineered hardwood that you purchased on your own, look for an installer to do it under $3 a square foot. $2 a sq ft. is ideal.
Carpet: When pricing carpet be careful about the square footage price and the square yard price. Most carpet stores will charge by the square foot because the prices look smaller that way. However, when installing carpet most installers get paid by the yard so make sure you understand the difference. Take the square foot price and multiply it by 9 and you’ll know the square yard price of the job as well.
