DIY Flooring: How to get the best price & highest quality?

Floors Plus • January 18, 2024

Many people are doing the DIY thing when it comes to installing flooring. Sometimes hardwood or carpet, but mostly when it comes to LVP, laminate, or tile.

Most of the time the first place we go is the big box. Most of us want quality, so we don't even look at the discount deal outlet stores. However, we also want price and assume a depot style store or nationwide chain claiming to have the lowest price will get us the best deal with quality... Plus, shopping the specialty flooring stores is avoided because not having to deal with any salesperson trying to upsell us or convince to pay for install is in the back our minds too. Not to mention they couldn't possibly get a better price than the big box stores, right?... Wrong.


This is actually an industry misconception. Sidenote: we're not talking about the discount deal outlets because they don't have the highest quality, so just throw them out altogether, unless you want low quality. Let's be real, people avoid the flooring specialty stores thinking they're either more expensive, can't get the same product, or don't want to hassle with a markup because they're doing the install themselves. At Floors Plus, none of these things are the case.


At Floors Plus  we have better prices on the same flooring as the big box and many times even and even better quality version. We pride ourselves on our direct local relationships and buying strategy. This allows us to offer better prices on the same flooring as the big box stores and even better quality versions. There’s a reason we can't list our prices online, but we make it easy for you to compare. Simply give us a call and we'll let you know the price per square foot. Our team of experts will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.


When you shop at Floors Plus, we're flooring guys, not sales guys. So you're not dealing with pushy salespeople. Instead, you're working with flooring experts who have seen it all. We have experience with all types of flooring, so you can trust that you're getting accurate and unbiased advice. Get answers to your questions from the experts. We're here to help you make the best decision for your needs and budget.


Another way we stand out from the competition is our pricing strategy. Whether you use us to install or want to DIY, it's the same price. Many flooring specialty stores will mark up the price and that’s if they even allow you to cash and carry out. We always price out the install separately and your price per square foot doesn’t change either way.



So, the conclusion really is that Floors Plus is the best choice for all your flooring needs. We offer the same flooring as the big box stores, but with better prices and quality. Our team of flooring experts is here to answer all your questions and help you make the best decision for your home or business.
