Buying Tips for your next Project
You are an Operations Ninja! AKA the expert in electrical, plumbing, roofs, security etc. But all of a sudden, senior management finds budget money to update the office (that should have been done 5 years ago!)
We happen to do this daily . . . almost with our eyes closed!
Broadloom and vinyl sheet goods require on average 7% – 12% more material
Buy BLOCKS not SHEETS!
Carpet Tiles NOT Broadloom Carpeting
Luxury Vinyl Tile and Planks NOT Sheet Vinyl or VCT
Here’s the inevitable . . . there will be a burn; a tear; a spill (that won’t come out); a zipper or a snag that can’t (at least affordably) be repaired using broadloom or resilient sheet goods.
TRY A DIFFERENT CHANNEL!
You’re finalizing your new construction project.
Will you be purchasing your furniture from the General Contractor?
Didn’t think so . . . So why purchase your flooring from him?
You might (HA! You Will!) save some money and get a solid specification that isn’t watered down to a boring commodity specification.
MULTIPLE PROJECTS this year? Price them all collectively – manufacturers know the value of a long term client vs a project. That makes them very willing to negotiable!
Today’s flooring doesn’t WEAR out . . . it UGLY’S out! Yep, don’t clean it and watch the difference from the traffic and non-traffic areas – Scary!
COVER YOUR ASS-ET
This may sound Crazy – but when you get new flooring . . . people actually walk on it! And spill things on it! And trash it!
Determine the most cost effective flooring maintenance and make certain it’s part of your annual budget!
