PLEASE READ ALL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BEFORE CALLING
"What is it you do?" We distribute hardwood
flooring by finding you the best price on the product of
your choice with one of the reputable companies we have
a relationship with. We do not stock material, it comes
direct from manufacturer or distributor.
"How do I know you're a real company?"
Yes we are a real company with a business license and resale's
permit, and have accounts with several hardwood flooring
companies. However we are not a hardwood floor store nor
an online floor store, and we do not stock any of the wood
you purchase. Almost all the wood we sell comes direct from
the manufacturer. We are simply a Buyer resource that will
assist you in finding the right hardwood floor at the right
price, take care of the sale, and setup shipping direct
to your door. ***Unloading is up to the Buyer of the product.
"Who is responsible for unloading?" The
person buying the flooring is 100% responsible for providing
adequate means of unloading assistance at time of delivery.
Additional charges may apply if unloading takes longer than
1/2 an hour.
"Can I pay by credit card?" Yes
"How long will it take to get here?" Normally
shipping takes 2-7 business days in the United States for
in stock products. Products not in stock may take 2-6 weeks
to be made and shipped. Custom hand scraped flooring can
take as long as 8 weeks. Products shipped from over seas
can take 2-12 weeks depending on circumstances.
"What if I don't like the floor when it arrives?"
A 25% restocking fee will apply for all products returned.
"What if the color isn't perfect?" We
Do Not Accept Returns of This Nature.
"What if its not the right product?" If
by chance the wrong product gets shipped, leave it on the
truck, and send back to shipper.
"What if the floor arrives damaged?" It
is your discretion to accept a damaged floor or not. Make
sure that you report the damage with the truck driver if
you do accept.
"What if my floor buckles, warps, or cups?"
It is the homewoners and contractor's responsibility to
make sure that your moisture is adequate to install hardwood
flooring. Make sure that several moisture tests are done
before, during, and after wood acclimation. If the floor
cups, warps, or buckles and all of the correct installation
steps are taken, we will assist in making a claim with the
manufacturer.
"What if my finish chips, peels, cracks?"
Finish issues maybe covered by the manufacturer. We will
assist you in making any claims covered by your finish warranty.
"Will high heels leave marks?" YES. Most
of the time, NO but sometimes they will. Depends on person
wearing them, floor species, and heel thickness. Any hardwood
floor can be scratched, dented, or gouged if improper care
is taken. Make sure all furniture has sticky pads underneath.
Move large items with EXTREME care over hardwood flooring.
If possible ask for high heels to be removed.
"Do I need a moisture barrier?" YES. Anything
you can do to assure that moisture under you house does
not get through to your floor is highly suggested. Methods
such as sealers, glues, plywood, plastic, roofing paper,
and traditional moisture barriers may be used in combination
to ensure a long life for your hardwood floor.
"Is Aluminum/Ceramic Oxide good?" For
most people aluminum oxide is a great finish that will last
a long time through tough wear and tear. It is a chemically
or photoelectronically hardened polyurethane with aluminum
or ceramic particles added. Aluminum/Ceramic Oxide finishes
are generally the hardest finishes you can get on hardwood
flooring and the hardest to scratch. Many products coated
with Aluminum/Ceramic Oxide also have excellent finish warranties
backing up the claims of greatness.
"What's the difference between the grades?"
There are essentially 4 grades of wood in the lumber industry
but only 3 are used. (Select) Firsts, (FAS) First and Seconds,
and (Rustic) Seconds. There are also 3rds, everything left
over after the seconds but no one wants to talk about those.
I will in a minute. Firsts are the highest grade of flooring
and lumber in the world and usually picked from the seconds.
First and seconds are the two grades mixed, also known as
mill run because everything is run at once. Seconds are
usually rustic floors and may contain some small open knots.
Thirds will contain open knots and may sometimes be mixed
with seconds and past off as seconds. Rustic flooring should
not contain large open knots. We do not sell this kind of
material unless requested.
Please call if this any of this does not make sense. 888-285-3397.
