Cheap Hardwood Flooring In Calgary

So many people dream of the stunning aspects of hardwood flooring in Calgary. Then they look at the price. You can still have affordable hardwoods without spending a fortune. You just need to be a little creative and possibly negotiate a compromise on some of the aspects so that you get great floors on a low budget.

If you already have tile flooring Calgary homes can sometimes suffer. The grooves of the tile get dirty and it takes a steam cleaner or hours on your hands and knees to get them spotless – only for them to get dirty again. This is when most people begin to dream of a wood floor. There are no crevices and a basic mop keeps the floors clean.

As you shop for a wood floor, you can find some great prices. When you walk into a flooring company and a professional comes over to help you, let them help. They will know the prices better than everyone else. Tell them what your budget is and watch how eager they will be to help you.

Depending on your budget, you may not be able to get exactly what you want. Wood floor Calgary professionals will be honest with you – but they will also give you some alternatives. Laminate flooring can give the same appearance as hardwood but it is a lot more affordable. You may want to take a closer look at these floors and consider it for your home. Most people won’t even know it’s not hardwood unless you tell them.

Whether you go with laminate or hardwood flooring Calgary professionals can come to your home and measure and then give you a quote. Go ahead and have them quote you for both laminate and hardwood. Even if you can afford the hardwood, you may want to save some money and go the route of laminate anyway. Then you have money left over for some other fun features – like heaters under the floor for those cold winters.

After you obtain your first price quote, make sure to ask for it in writing. Let them know that you are shopping around. This will let them know that you are focused on price. They may even tell you that if you find a lower price that they will match (or better yet, beat) the lowest price you get.

Now you can contact two or three other companies for the same information. Get all quotes in writing because that is your ticket for negotiations. Don’t be afraid to ask if there are any specials or if that is the lowest that they can get it. After all, you’re the one spending the money on the floors, not them. Once negotiations are over, you can schedule for your flooring and know that you bought them cheap.
