Beyond Floors

I’ve visited this store several times over the past few years, often to get advice and ideas and I’ve purchased vinyl flooring (one special order and one remnant) and padding for area carpets. The store owner is always gracious, helpful and patient even though sometimes, even I thought I was being a pain in the neck. I’m going again today to purchase more carpet padding. The city rerouted the streets and so getting to the store is a challenge but definitely worth it. I’m remodeling an old house and he’s my go-​to guy for flooring needs.

Color me.. . Unimpressed. And after such a good first visit too.
The hours are a sparse 8 – 5 Mon-​Fri. It was difficult for me to go back at all because of my work schedule. But because of my afore-​mentioned awesome experience, I made it work.
This time I had measurements, too. Unfortunately, scrap pieces of linoleum a quarter of the size of the one I bought before (for $ 5!!!) cost $ 30−40-ish dollars. These are SCRAPS!
And the guy working got all super-​salesman on me and kept trying to talk up the even bigger remnants. Even after I told him these were simply for under the litter-​boxes and mini fridge – I didn’t need anything large or fancy (or costly). He repeated several times he would really work with me and give me a good deal.
Until I told him I had bought the last 8 ft x 8.5 ft plus (I cut several pieces off of it for other projects) for literally FIVE dollars. He stopped cold and became a little more disinterested, offering to write some of the measurements for me.
Rather then going back to Beyond Floors, I’ll try my luck at one of the corporate home stores – or just live with my first scrap of linoleum.
