Are you planning to replace the flooring in a room or multiple rooms of your home? If swapping out flooring is part of your project scope, you may be thinking about heading to your nearest big box home improvement store to check out their selection. Many homeowners choose to shop at large chain retailers because they feel that the prices are reasonable and the selection is varied. While this may be true in some cases, it is also worth exploring other stores to compare prices and flooring selection. Here are the three biggest benefits of shopping at a wholesale store for your next home project.
Overall Cost
Since most warehouses are able to import products directly from distributors, the cost can be lower than if you were to purchase flooring from a large home improvement chain. Buying directly eliminates the middle man, so the overall cost of your hardwood, carpet, tile, or laminate may be less expensive than it is at other retailers. Some wholesalers estimate that customers can save up to 50 percent on their projects by shopping at wholesale warehouses.
Larger Selection
Typically, the average big box home improvement store has one or two aisles of tile, laminate, and hardwood flooring, and a small area with a selection of various area rugs and wall-to-wall carpet. While this may be plenty of selection for the average shopper, you may have more luck shopping with a wholesaler if you are looking for a large selection of flooring options. Wholesale stores often have huge warehouses filled with different colors, textures, and materials for shoppers to explore. If you prefer more options rather than less, it may be worth scheduling a consultation with an employee at a local wholesale flooring store. You could find exactly what you’re looking for at an impressive discount.
Knowledgeable Employees
Do you have questions about your home renovation project? Are you interested in learning more about the differences, in terms of price and durability, between hardwood and laminate flooring? While some employees at your local home improvement store may be able to provide you with answers to these important questions, this isn’t necessarily the case at every single big box retail location. Employees are familiar with the products sold at their store but that doesn’t mean they have experience with home renovation projects. If you have specific questions which might require more in-depth knowledge and experience to answer, it’s worth a visit to a wholesale or specialty retailer. The employees at these stores are often seasoned professionals with considerable experience in home improvements.
If you are currently in the first stages of a home renovation project, you may be thinking about where to shop for flooring. While many homeowners choose to shop at large home improvement chains, there are a number of benefits to purchasing your flooring at a wholesale store. Prices are usually comparable, if not more reasonable than larger retailers, there’s typically a larger array of flooring options, and the employees are often well-informed and experienced with home renovation projects.
