Ken's Quick Answer:

A little Flooring FOMO is healthy. If you spent time finding a great floor, don’t wait a month (or six) to pull the trigger. In our business, great products regularly go out of stock or, worse, get discontinued entirely. If you find your floor, strike while the iron is hot!
 

Ken's In-Depth Answer:

Like the old saying goes: Strike while the iron is hot! I have clients who come into our showroom and find a great floor for their home. But then they disappear!

Sometimes they wait a month. Sometimes it's 3 or 6 months. Other times, they wait more than a year. Guess what? Many times the product may no longer be available.

It was the perfect product for you. Unfortunately, now we have to disappoint you.

Of course, don't make rash decisions. At the same time, we feel strongly about striking while the iron is hot when you find the product you like. It may not be available in 3 or 6 months.


If you have any questions or concerns about selecting the right floor, give us a call at 401-214-0285 or visit our showroom. We serve customers throughout Rhode Island and southeastern New England, including Newport, Middletown, Jamestown, Portsmouth, Bristol and more.
