Is it cheaper to purchase hardwood flooring and then hire someone to install it as opposed to hiring a company to handle everything?
In most cases, the answer is “No”. The most common mistake made is not knowing how much hardwood to purchase or purchasing too much hardwood and being stuck with the overage. In this instance, you’ve either spent too much money or not enough money. Another big problem that arises is who would be responsible if the floor doesn’t look good. This happens more often that you think. The installer could say that you purchased “bad flooring”. The company where the flooring was purchased could say “bad installation”. An even bigger headache would be hiring a third person to do the sanding and finishing. That person could place blame on either or both of the other two which gets that person off the hook. Add to that the fact that everyone has already been paid and your floor looks like crap. What do you do then? You call a professional flooring company and pay to have them come out to your house and fix it. That’s not cheap! If you are going to spend money on a hardwood floor, unless you are in
