If they do as well with laminate as they do with diagonal tiles, which ain't all that easy, I'd go with All-in-One-Flooring (223-3036). Hard workers, reasonable prices and they are also subcontractors for TV (which means they've been background checked, if nothing else).

The OP states he lives in The Villages, so I will assume that the floor is concrete slab. As long as it is installed according to the manufacture's destructions, with proper barrier and cushioning, and with the proper gap around the parameter, you should have no problems. I have installed many floors of this type and have never had any issues.

Your post dated Sept 2008 awhile ago... I'm wondering, if you'll tell me
what you paid for your floors ??? I just signed contract to have mine
done at a cost of 5140.00 I have approx. 650 sq ft. I know there are
different prices, but the more I think about it ... I think I'm getting ripped
off ! What say you ?
Tks Annsz

Well, that comes to $7.91 per square foot.

Without knowing that quality (and more accurately cost) for materials, how could anyone answer your question?

Did you pick expensive laminate, or cheap laminate? There are MANY grades of flooring. Also, are they taking up the old floor and disposing of it? Are they having to install an epoxy moisture barrier? (I always would). Do they have a lot of difficult cuts, where there would be a lot of waste?

At the risk of sounding rude, (and I am really not a rude person at all), isn't the time to ask this question BEFORE you signed a contract? You signed a contract.....so your question seems moot at this point. If you had gotten at least 3 estimates beforehand, you would now know the answer to your question.

We are planning on installing laminate flooring and the more we look, the more confused I get. Can some of you recommend a certain installer and would you go with matte or polished? Also which way to install, i.e. front to back or side to side?

[jaringg]

several problems develop. The humidity in the ground causes moisture to form underneath the flooring.
another is that the concrete pad is uasally cracked in several places and not level.
Tile is the only way to go. Just had mine done by a guy that is a tru artist
