Helpful hint for the week for buyer beware:

If it’s on sale… it may not be on sale!

Some stores will lower the price on a particular product they may have had in their inventory in order to tell you “there’s a sale on …..” ! Nope. There’s not.
What the company is trying to do, is get you to THINK their price is lower than their competition, by giving you a deal… when they actually bought it for a lower price, so regular price is really waaaay over priced!
In lowering the price to you, they’re just taking a standard amount of profit plus commission. If they can get a deal from the vendor, lowering the price just a little, means they make just as much if not more in profit!

SHOP AROUND! For the love of Pete, physically go to at least 2 stores before putting down one dime!
A couple places will tell you the sale is off tomorrow…. WRONG! They want your money, and they want it NOW so you are invested in them alone! No store will tell you yesterday’s prices are not good today except for a big box which sets their prices so low, it will not matter. Buying carpet can be much like buying a car!

Good luck!

Question:
Are big box stores just as good?
Why the huge price difference?

Answer:

To a degree. Carpet is carpet, LVP IS LVP… but look at the fine print. THIS is what is going to determine how long your floors will last.
Big box stores sell LVP all day long. But what is the ware layer? How many years is the product warranty going to last and what does it cover? ASK!!!
For LVP, the higher the ware layer, the longer you can expect your flooring to last.
In Carpet, a more dense, 45, 60 or even deep 90 heavy is not going to be sold at big box stores! EVER! Think of thread count in your sheets! How long would 100 ct or even 250 last if you’re on it all day and night for a couple years? Seems will go, luster will fade, stains will never come out, and holes show up out of nowhere!

Quite a few builders will go with a dirt cheap flooring to get the job done and the building / house closed to sell. That’s it! The least they have to spend, the better, as they will make more money at the sell. Speck homes especially! Most are designed to need to be replaced within 5 years of purchase.

Suggestion:
If and when possible, as your builder if you can select your own flooring from a reputable dealer. They will give you a budget. Anything OVER that budget will need to be paid by the buyer/customer. This is SO well worth it in the long run, unless you do NOT have kids, pets and only plant to live in the home a year or so before flipping it.
Do - it- yourselfers come out ahead when they don’t have the money to spend on luxury flooring, and just need something down, planning on spending the time and money a couple years down the road once kids are gone and pets as well.
Many stores have financing available, and will make it worth your while to invest in something at least mid grade to make it worth your time to even purchase it the first time! You ARE paying for flooring in your new home purchase! If buy an older home, invest in what you WANT when you can. YOU will be living in it! Don’t be fooled! There is a purpose for these do it yourself big box floors. They are designed to get you through. That’s it.

My suggestion? Wait, and buy what you WANT! It’s typically on sale somewhere, and someone will be willing to sell it for less but only when asked! We all have set prices, but much like a car…. Somebody will make you a deal! Ask for it! And do your research! It’s worth it. 😉

Question often asked.

Here ya go!

Mondays memo:

If you can’t see the price, ask.
Then, ask someone else to go and ask the price. If it’s the same, you’re safe. If one is higher than the other, shop around.

Good luck!

Hi guys.
Anyone who has not yet picked up their items need to do so by the end of this week or forfit.

We will be Continuing to clean up from the disastrous storm that played a key part in my retiring, and i will need everything out that was purchased.

I sincerely appreciate all the love and support that has been shown over the last several weeks by customers, some we have held dear for many years. My hopes are that our legacy continues on for many many years to come, as a trusted flooring dealer here in Alaska.

I hope that I can shed a little light on flooring issues and always open to listen to any questions anyone has in replacing or installing new carpeting, LVP or whatever you are using to remodel, and will be happy to make recommendations and advice for your next project anytime with a tip to follow!

This weeks tip:
Always check prices on quotes for flooring and get second quote from a different company!
One company will sell decent products at a low price, one will make a small profit, and one will profile the customer when they walk in the door! One will sell a poor product at a high price… you get it?
Feel free to get a quote, and shop around before buying! You’re investing a lot of money, so opt for good quality at a good price! If someone objects, there’s a good reason! Don’t get caught being profiled selling you a product at the highest
Price they think you can afford! Buying floor covering can often be like buyin car!
Everyone has a minimum price to sell… BUT, if a company can get more… THEY WILL!
A good car salesman can sell a LOT of carpet, and lie like a rug! Don’t be fooled or preasured into buying anywhere, EVER! The “sale” won’t go off tomorrow!

I’ll try to post tid bits to look out for when buying floor covering Nd help on making your selections each week! 😎
