Every once in awhile you get great service, very competitive pricing and things are just done as advertised. Greg Adams the floor consultant was very personable, honest and punctual. Floors were installed punctually and beautifully.
And the kicker was there was no neighbourhood tax. Some of you know the disheartening sense that your quote is being inflated since you live in a nicer house/neighbourhood. In our case a competitor calculated square footage greater than my figure (and my figure was generously rounded up). Then the competitor wanted overage (the principle is acceptable ie he needs extra wood since pieces are cut and there is some wastage of wood). Then the competitor wanted to charge installation on the overage ie I had to pay for phantom installation on extra square footage of wood that was not to be used--> not acceptable. Competitor also wanted another $3/sq foot to level the floor (since it is a basement concrete floor) on top of installation. This got me looking into other flooring companies and that is when I contacted Greg at Speers flooring.
Greg on the other hand didn't think leveling was necessary and when this was confirmed by his installer the leveling estimate (which was 1/10 th of the competitors) was promptly removed. His overage rate was much lower and his measurements much more accurate. (His square footage including overage was much lower than the competitor's and even lower compared to mine). There were no hidden or additional costs.
I would use Greg Adams/Speers flooring and their installers again and I would highly recommend them. Honest no fuss professional service. Bravo Greg et al. And Thank you.
