Why talk to a salesman who doesn't know the quality of the flooring they are selling because they have never installed it?  On the off chance they have, they are still going to sell what makes their business the most money. Stores can only sell brands they do business with when another store may have better options. Talk to me, as I have installed countless brands and can give you the best information. Take the hassle away and get the job done right with Quality Hardwood and Laminate.
