Laminate Floor Installation in Tyler Texas

August 10th, 2010

Laminate Installation

Laminate flooring has gained popularity over the past couple of decades.  Laminate flooring will not add value to your home like hardwood floors would, but that one point is the only real drawback to this innovative flooring material.

For the most part, laminate flooring itself runs in the same general price range as the most common hardwood varieties.  It is in the installation of laminate where most homeowners save the big bucks.  Like all rules, however, there are exceptions to the cost comparison.  In the case of very expensive, exotic hardwoods, laminate flooring will give the same look at a much lower price.

Essentially, the finish of laminate flooring is nothing more than a large, super high quality photograph.  Obviously, a photograph of Brazilian Walnut is much less expensive than the walnut itself.  This is a huge selling point and why so many people opt in favor of laminate over hardwood: you can get practically any finish you want without changing the price of the material.

Laminate installation is also a relatively simple task and one that experienced Shreveport floor installers could just about do blind folded.  Of course, they wouldn’t attempt it, but the ease of installation makes for an inexpensive installation and can usually be completed in just a day or two, depending on the size of your project.

Tyler Texas Flooring Installation

October 7th, 2009

One of the biggest eye appealing renovations you can make to a house is to replace the floors. Many people never replace the floors because it is a hard job especially when having to scrape up linoleum tile. Wood flooring materials go for very high prices and so the cost of buying the wood flooring material and paying a Tyler TX wood floor installer and contractor to install the material is outside most peoples budget. Having said all of this discouraging news it can still be done however even if you have a tight budget. If your roof is leaking be sure to get your Tyler homes roof replaced by a company like Advantage Roofing before installing brand new wood floors.

Many people go into a store like Lowes, Home Depot, or Homes Plus and get floors priced. We went into all of these stores and what we found were flooring prices way outside our budget for what we were wanting. Tyler Texas Floor InstallerFloors Plus came out to our house and measured our floors and said they would get back to us on a price but we never heard from them again. Actually about 75% of the contractors we had come out to our house for different job like roofing and other things we never heard from again. I try and be polite and direct as to what I want and I am unsure why so many building contractors have such a weird policy of never calling back.

Well I was a bit frustrated with the prices I had been quoted and the difficulty in getting contractors to follow through until I found a wood flooring store with reasonable prices. I went to Lancaster Texas which is very near Dallas and received some price estimates on some wide plank flooring which seems to be the new trend in wood flooring these days. They had several different wood styles to choose from and even had that etched look on some of them. I was surprised that many of their higher end stuff was priced around $4.50 or less a foot. This was quite a bit less than the $7.50 a foot I was finding at Lowes, Ace Hardware, Homes Plus, and other flooring stores I had visited.

The next step in the flooring process was to find a cheap installer that would do a quality job. I found Eliseo with Texas Floor Installer. He was able to install my floors for much cheaper than I was able to find anywhere else. He used to work for a large wood floor installation company but since then he has went off on his own and can price your floor installation much cheaper than a larger floor installation company. Many of these floor installer companies have a large overhead and a building on the side of the highway. They have to pay for all of that overhead with higher prices to their customers. Eliseo works from his house and has a family owned business where his adult members of his family assists in helping him install the floor.

By using Eliseo you are basically using the same contract labor the larger wood flooring companies in Tyler use but without the added expense. Many of the large flooring material companies in Tyler contract out the labor to people and companies like Eliseo. Why tag on several thousand more dollars to the cost of your Tyler Texas wood floor installation when you have a good recommendation from Tyler TX Directory about a wood flooring installer we have used ourselves with excellent results?
