Rag Horn Report post Posted August 8, 2017 I am looking to buy some flooring and have hit up Home Depot, Lowes, Lumber Liquidators, Cost Co, Sams Club. Between price, availability and my wife and I agreeing (that's the hardest one) we haven't found that "perfect" flooring option. Anyone have any other places we should be looking or places to avoid? I am located in Gilbert. Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curtis Reed Report post Posted August 8, 2017 stay away from lumber liquidators there was a huge expose by 60 minutes on how they manufacture their product in China with way too much formaldehyde and it's causing cancer at a higher rate with their customers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted August 8, 2017 We bought from Monterey Tile and were very happy. Wish I had know about the Imperial CWT hookup. We did ours early this year and opted for a wood pattern tile and upgraded the baseboards as well. It was a nightmare for a while, but glad we did it now. If you need baseboards, check out Discount Door and Trim in Mesa. The same baseboards were about half the price of Home Depot or Lowes. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 8, 2017 Happy wife, happy life. Let her pick the color. I installed my entire house full of a really nice, yet rustic, knotty pine laminate about 5 1/2 years ago. I am now installing wood looking tile..... Laminate is noisy with dogs and shoes. But I love the look of wood floors. My wife wants tile.....so "we" are now doing tile. Do a high grade laminate. Do NOT go cheap. It will not last. I did cheap at my last house. I did moderate at the new house. It lasted fine for 5 1/2 years of 4 big dogs, kids, me, etc.....until the wife wanted to change it..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOBY Report post Posted August 8, 2017 +1 for tile. Any high traffic area will not last with the other. Wood pattern tile and do it once. Very easy to DIY. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 8, 2017 I am severely retro.......wood and real wood only......I love the look and I love the sound!!! You can borrow my saw and anything else you need and then let me know how it goes before I rip out the carpet and tile! Daisy is gone and so are all the kids so traffic will be..........minimal!!! Pick the right weekend and I will even come and supervise the grand kids while you do all the work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put tile in our kitchen 20 years ago and it has cracks, etc......wondering if I could try again with this stuff and do a better job than the first time around! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am scared to death to do any tile work myself and too cheap to pay someone to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PelaPapas Report post Posted August 8, 2017 We did the wood look tile in our house a few months ago as well. I love the way it looks. Floor and decor has good prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
