WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CHOOSE A FLOORCOVERING STORE




One of the most popular and cost effective home improvements that you can do is installing new flooring.  Not only does new flooring update your home it also increases the value of the property. 
When choosing a flooring store to purchase your new floocovering there a few things you need to know:

A good place to start when choosing a reputable flooring store is by looking through the Internet.  With numerous options in your local area it makes it simple to narrow down your options.  Look at the quality of the stores website and the products they offer.  The dynamics of a store’s website will give you a good idea on the type of service and product you can expect.

Another important factor is how many years they have been in business.  The amount of years in business says a lot about its integrity, professionalism and experience.  The best have usually been in business for many years!

It is also recommended you review their testimonials and reviews on Google and Yelp and other social media and business directories.  You can learn a lot about a business by reading what others have to say.  If others have had a good experience it can really help in ultimately making a decision when selecting the store to purchase your new floorcovering.

Choosing a dealer because they have a “cheap price” can be a problem.  Low price can be the bait that attracts you but once you are in the store they try and pressure you into paying much more than the advertised price or install a lower grade carpet than the one you paid for.  Don’t fall for the “bait-and-switch.”

How active is the flooring store on Facebook and Twitter.  Are they actively engaging and updating their Facebook timeline.  Are they posting videos and photos of their products and services?  Social media is a great way to learn about a floorcovering company before choosing which one to work with.
Don’t choose a company based on a single telephone conversation.  To give you an accurate price the dealer needs to know the following:  Kind of flooring, size of the rooms, and any special needs that can affect the installation.  Having an in-home measurement by the store will give the store the information they need to give you an accurate quote.

Finally, when you have narrowed it down to a few flooring stores that you like go in to the store and meet them.  Pay attention to the cleanliness of the store because a well-organized showroom says a lot about a company.  Also, are their sales representatives cordial and cooperative?  The more helpful a company is the better their service will be.
