How to get a Beautiful Floor
If you’re thinking about investing in new flooring, I encourage you to follow these four steps:
- Make a commitment to find a quality floor covering store!
- List your objectives
- Ask questions
- Do you offer a No Regrets guarantee? If I’m not happy with the flooring will you replace it free in the first 30 days?
- Do you have a lifetime warranty on all your installations? Can I have it in writing?
- Are your installers Trained, Licensed, and Certified? Can I see their credentials?
- Do you offer “Stain Proof” carpet? Remember: there are no warranties that guarantee carpets to be “Stain Proof”! If the dealer says yes, they are either incompetent or dishonest. Find another dealer.
- Can I see a list of references? This is probably the most important question. References are simply the ONLY way you can tell ahead of time if you are working with an honest, competent dealer. If they balk, or refuse, find another dealer.
- Invite them into your home for an exact quotation in writing
Trying to find a floor covering dealer by hunting through the yellow pages or the internet can be very problematic for two reasons. First, you could wind up with an unscrupulous dealer, and second it’s almost impossible for the average consumer to keep abreast of the industry to a point where they can insure making the best floor covering decision.
Instead, find a quality dealer that you trust; a dealer with whom you feel completely comfortable sharing your decorating goals and information. Partner with them and let them help you find the right floor covering.
In spite of advertising you may have seen to the contrary, buying and installing floor covering is very complicated. A Professional Flooring Consultant will spend countless hours every year studying the market, researching new floor covering technologies, and expanding their education. They know the right questions to ask, and how to find the best possible floor covering for your unique situation.
Are you simply looking for “cheap” dealers, or “discount,” “Mega-Depot,” “Bargain Corral” stores, something you can find on the internet or in the yellow pages?
Or do you want competent, experienced, and professional advice from the dealer you work with? Do you want to work with an honest and reputable company? Are you really willing to risk working with a company that simply offers “Cheap Carpet” — knowing that the company might not be in business tomorrow, or may not honor their warranties?
They way to learn about a company is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers.
Tough Questions to Ask every Floor Covering Dealer Before You Agree To ANYTHING:
Above all, get all of these in writing…
Once you’re satisfied that you’re working with an honest, competent professional, invite him into your home and ask for a specific quotation in writing. A written quotation gives you the assurance that you know exactly what your job will cost—no surprises.
Summary: By following these four steps, you will gain all the information you need to make an informed, intelligent decision!
If you simply want “Cheap Carpet” — that may not be reliable — many companies in the phone book or on the internet will be glad help you.
