ReadQuestions homeowners ask us
Should I buy the flooring myself or through the installer?
Either. Through the installer usually means contractor pricing, correct quantities, matching trim from the same lot and one party responsible for defects. Labor-only installs are quoted the same way; order after the measure.
How much extra should I order?
Five to ten percent over the measured area for straight-lay, more for patterns and angled rooms, plus a box for the attic.
