First-off, we had been looking at flooring samples at different businesses for almost a year and were getting completely confused.
We eventually found Floor Depot North and spoke with the owner Jeff. We told him what we were "kind of looking for" but didn't know for sure. Jeff explained several different options and showed us a lot of samples from the large selection at his store.
We ended up choosing a beautiful hand-scraped engineered wood from Shaw. It came in 3 widths, which is something we never thought of until Jeff suggested it.
Jeff gave us a great price and the service was outstanding. The new floor completely transformed our house. We will not buy flooring from anyone else!
