Our commitment is to bring you the highest quality flooring at the lowest possible prices in the world. One of the ways we do this, is by keeping our overhead as low as possible. To do so, we need some help from you. Listed below are some shopping tips that will make it easier for us to provide you with an accurate price quote.
First- Make sure to read some of the other sections of our website to learn about the different choices and qualities available to you for the specific product you will be shopping for. Try to decide what type of flooring you will be shopping for. If you are shopping for more than one type of flooring, for example ceramic tile and carpet, than shop for one at a time. We suggest that you start with the more permanent floor such as the ceramic tile, laminate, or wood flooring, than shop for the carpet. The reason is that most likely you will base your carpet color on the other type of flooring. If the majority of the flooring will be carpet, than it will not matter. Try to have an idea of the color scheme. If you will be shopping for ceramic tile, also decide what size you will want.
Second- Do most of your initial research by telephone. This will avoid you driving from store to store to find that many of the stores may not have what you're looking for. Make sure to contact the smaller flooring stores in your area. The bigger stores usually private label their samples so you can't compare their prices. Ask questions when you contact these stores. Ask them if they private label their samples. If you end up at one of the stores that does private label their samples, chances are we will not be able to get the pricing for you on those products. Also, make sure that the products you will be shopping for are manufactured by one of the many companies that we represent. For a full list of these companies, go to our "

Bing a pad and pen with you when you go shopping. Be direct with the salespeople you deal with. Let them know immediately that you are only comparing prices at this time. By doing this, they will know that you don't intend to buy that day and hopefully will not pressure you as much. Take as much time as you need to look at samples. The salesperson may be reluctant to write down the information you need so be prepared to do it yourself. You will need the Manufacturers Name, the Style Name and/or Style Number, the Color Name and/or Color Number, and the Price. Make sure that the price you are given is for the material only. Some stores include labor and other charges in their prices.
Finally- The last step is the easiest. Contact us for a price! A warning though, when contacting us, please be sitting down and make sure that someone is with you. Our prices will be so much lower that you may pass out from shock.
