I don't know for sure because as much as I wanted to get this project over with, I couldn't bring myself to see this special as anything but a bit 'scam-like' :(\nThe special said: $498.00 for installation of laminate flooring in a space 1000 sq ft or less. Removing existing carpet/ flooring would be extra. My space is 800 sq ft and I had a local handyman pull the existing flooring. \nSecond part of the 'special' required I purchase laminate from them that was over a certain price ($2.59/sqft) \nThat was fine, was a bit more than the laminate I had picked but I was fine with trading up a bit and getting the required laminate-- happy to do it. \nAt time to close the deal :\nMaterials $2300.\nInstallation: $1500.\nWhat happened to $498?\nThey were very nice in explaining the additions installation steps that bumped the 'special' $498 price up $1000 to total $1500.00\nTo top it off, the contract advertised that I had received the $498 installation special which they boasted normally sells for $1500.00! \nUmmmm, ok... So I'm paying $1500.00 for a $498 special that is usually $1500.00. \nJust doesn't seem like an honest representation."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ .
