Italgres

My mom and I always go to Italgres for all of our flooring needs. The sales lady, Yany is wonderful! They have prices for all budgets, and the showroom is wonderfully laid out. I highly recommend! And no, you don’t have to have a huge project for them to be good to you. Most of my projects are very small (1000 sq ft or less).

My husband had stopped by the day before and had a male sales rep help him out. He had some great ideas so made an appointment for us to see him the next day. We arrived later than expected and unfortunately the original sales rep had to leave for the day (2pm) so we were introduced to another rep. He was silent and offered no help and was quickly bored by my «small» project of having to retile both my small bathrooms. He walked away to help some higher end customers. Later I asked the lady to help me. I showed her some photos of ideas i had gotten from the website «houzz», she led me to some samples and went on to grimace and straight out tell me that she didn’t think my ideas would look good. She even asked me why I liked the tile I was choosing… She told me she didn’t like the tile. She also criticized my chose of bamboo floors saying we shouldn’t use those for bathrooms. I told her i had researched it and it was a great material for high moisture spaces, increased the value of your home and was eco-​friendly. She said she had always heard that wood wasn’t good for bathrooms, i let her know that bamboo was actually compressed grass and different then wood. I then asked her if she sold bamboo floors and she said «no». Guess now I know why she didn’t want me to pick bamboo for my floors, they don’t sell it! Well it was obvious that this place was not interested in helping me due to the small size of my projects. Very snooty place, I can’t recommend unless you are going to decorate a mansion, then yes, I am sure they will be very helpful.
