They came to my home and measured (for free) after we had selected the product. We went to the store rather than asking them to come to our house with samples. Over about three weeks of looking (and considerable internet research), they gave us about 10 samples (to bring home and later return). When they install next week, it will be about 3 1/2 weeks since we signed the contract.
Thanks for the reply. Because we are seasonal, we don't want to spend our time in TV fussing over floor alternatives.
So your input is a big help.
We are heading over to The Floor Shop this morning to look at samples. You mentioned that you had talked to an independent installer.
However I assume you are going with an installer from The Floor Shop because you said they came and measured your rooms?

P.S. Don't all the Flooring stores carry basically the same inventory, i.e., Pergo, Armstrong, etc. ??
