CHEAP!

August 15, 2012

“Any room of carpet installed for only $39.00, regardless of size!”… “Free Pad with your carpet installation!” “CHEAPEST prices in town!” Sound all too familiar? We know nothing is free. If it was, wouldn’t we all be rich? Even if everything was free, is it worth the “free” cost? Advertising tactics like this may draw consumers into the showrooms of local flooring companies or big box stores, but give the consumer exactly what they pay for in the end. When choosing flooring materials and installation services for your next home remodel project, keep these points in the back of your mind when you want to go CHEAP:

Cheap is breakable
Cheap is poor quality
Cheap is quick
Cheap is quickly replaceable
Cheap is cheap
Cheap costs time
Cheap costs money
Cheap costs you time and money

At the end of the day, if I’ve lost time or money, I can’t afford cheap…
