Quality Laminate, installed for around $4 per sq ft!

Back when I was a Sales Weasel for a large nationwide flooring company I was taught to sell mid-grade laminate, installed, materials and labor for over $12 sq ft!... and for five years I did!

Why did we ask for such a high price?

    Because our huge mega-company had tons overhead. We had a multi-million dollar advertising campaign. We had managers, corporate managers, sales managers, assistant sales managers, Sales Trainers, Corporate Sales Trainers and the list goes on and on..

So why did our customers agree to pay so much?

    Because we convinced them we had a superior product. We explained we didn't sell "cheap laminate." We convinced them we had THE best installers in town. We also explained our warranty was second to none. Most importantly we scared them into thinking that although they could probably get a better price from another flooring company, in the end they would end up with a mediocre product and a lousy installation.

How did I do it?

    At the time, I actually thought it was true, I really believed my company was worth paying the high prices they were asking for. I really belived it was impossible to find quality cheap laminate.

    Well, I know better now and I'm here to tell you that with a little research you can get a quality mid grade laminate, installed, materials and labor for around $4 a square foot!

So how do you do it?

Well you don't call Home Depot, Lowes or Empire Today. I have nothing against these companies, In Fact, I love Home Depot, but I'm trying to save you money and these companies have way too much overhead.

First of all, it's not all about money.. I get that. It's about quality. It's about getting the most for your money. It's about getting the highest quality product and service your money can buy.

and that's what I'm going to help you do!

I'm now going to share with you what most companies hope you don't know!

To get the best price possible on laminate flooring you need two things..

  • #1 You need multiple quotes.
  • #2 You need the companies you're getting quotes from to know you are getting multiple quotes.

Why do they need to know?

Because they need to know they have competition. They also need to know that you're not the kind of person that makes emotional, spontaneous decisions. Most home improvement companies train their sales reps to "start high"

    That means they will quote you the highest price possible just to see what you will do. When a sales person knows they have competition and when they know their customer isn't buying, that day, the sales person tends to skip the "dog and pony show." When they know this from the beginnng, the first price they give you, will almost always be their best price.

From experience, I can tell you, the customers I have worked with, that paid the best price, are customers that were referred to me from one of two different companies...

Renovation Experts and Angie's List.

Using one or both of these two companies will save you hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars!

    Money Saving Tip #1

    Use Renovation Experts! Renovation Experts is a lead generation company and although it's FREE to you, contractors actually have to pay to use this service. Once you sign up, Renovation Experts will send you the names and numbers of three to four prescreened and highly qualified contractors. These contractors will all bid on your job. Now this is the best part.. because they are paying for this service, they can't afford to lose too many bids. Because they know they are competing against other contractors, who are also paying for this service, they know they have to give you the lowest price possible. You are the big winner! Give Renovation Experts a try and you will never consider another home improvement project without them!


Try Angie's List!
    Money Saving Tip #2

    Become a Angie's List member! Angie's List works a little different. Angie's list is a network of consumers. Consumers pay a membership fee. Why do they charge a membership fee? Because Angie's List doesn't accept money for advertising. They don't allow their contractors to advertise! That means Angie's List will never show bias towards a particular company. Yes, you pay a small fee but what you get for that fee will save you tons of money and probably a lot of headaches. As an Angie's List member you will be able to read countless articles and research local contractors and companies before they come to your house. Angie's List really is the best non-biased consumer research tool around!


So when I sign up for Renovation Experts or Angie's List I'll get quality laminate flooring installed for around $4 per sq ft?

Wait a minute.. You still have a little more work to do!

  • #1 You want at least 3 quotes so be sure to make 3 appointments with contractors from either Renovations Experts or Angie's List.
  • #2 Explain to your contractor / sales person you're interested in the least expensive, brand name, 8MM Laminate they have.
  • #3 Politely inform them that although quality is very important to you, you are also shopping for the best price possible and that you will be getting two to three more quotes from other quality companies.
  • #4 Additionally, have each company give you two different quotes. The first quote should include all costs, materials and labor. The second quote should only be for the cost of labor.

You want the second quote, with labor only, because you might be able to buy the materials, yourself, for less, with one of the two highest rated internet flooring retailers on the planet!
