Why You Shouldn't Buy Hardwood Floors From A Carpet Store

Most carpet salesmen are not wood workers. If they were they would not be selling something like this:

(Figure A)

They'd be selling you something like this: 

 (Figure B)

(Photo above is showing a comparison between Figure A and Figure B.)

True wood workers/ floorwrights should have direct relationship with wood mills in their local area that can mill wood to homeowners and builders' specs. Purchasing a floor through a reputable wood flooring contractor will ensure the investment of a quality floor will last the lifetime of the home. 

Carpet stores will tell you that a veneered ware layer with a 50 year warranty is sufficient...DON'T BUY IT. The quality of a wood floor is in the sandable surface. 

I also find it hard to trust a carpet store salesman who cannot identify the species of wood they're selling without the label on the sample- that should be a red flag.
