So happy with my laminate flooring!
We purchased laminate flooring from Hardwood Galleria in Santa Ana for a small condo that we are currently renting out. I had looked at Lowes and Home Depot, thinking I could do this myself (how hard could it be?). I looked at the in stock products at Lowes in particular, and thought for sure this would be the way to go. Then, saw advertising in my mail from Hardwood Galleria (both clipper or Home design guide), and decided to take my Lowes laminate sample and see if they could do better, AND, they did. Not only did they show me a better laminate product, they educated me on the value of the underlayment, and in the end, I purchased a better laminate product (suitable for light commercial installations), upgraded the underlayment that helped with sound absorbtion, and had them install it, for less than Lowes (if they had installed the flooring). When I saw how many flooring packages I would have had to lug upstairs, and how heavy each was (I had not idea how heavy these packages are) if I had installed it myself, I felt like I dodged a huge bullet. The floor installers did a great job, and paid attention to things going on with the subfloor that I would have blown off. These floors are durable and easy to clean, and perfect for my rental. I couldn't be happier with my flooring purchase from Hardwood Floor Galleria.
