50Floor.com Bad Pricing Georgia, Texas

 The pricing of this company is questionable at best. The words "competitive" or "reasonable" would not apply. I was going to be charged around $2,200.00 for less than 150 square feet of laminate tile and the removal of 4 pieces of plywood. The job would take less than 5 hours. This price would be for around $14.66 a square foot. I wasn't expecting a $200 job or anything unrealistic but $2200 for 5 hours of work and only about $450 in supplies. I priced materials at Lowes and Home Depot as a base line on pricing for materials needed and I have rounded up for discussion sake.

A national company buying supplies like plywood and glue in bulk would be getting a better price than an individual at other general home improvement stores. The sales person complained that he was only making $30 on $1700 deal. I could only comment that if that were the case then it wasn't even worth his time to come out. The laminate picked was a basic offwhite with mock black grout in it. The choices weren't bad but if the price is driven up by overpriced installers then everything else was worthless. The sales rep didn't even meet with me or wait until I showed up as the appointment time was moved up in time.
