A COMMON MISTAKE: GOING TO A BIG BOX STORE FOR FLOORING
- The sales clerks are not flooring professionals
- They send out an installer to measure the quantities needed
- They do not visit the job site
- They are sometimes devious in quoting prices
- They basically say to a customer “pick out a flooring and we will sell it to you”
