Q. Can you save money on material and labor by hiring an independent flooring installer, for tile installation or wood flooring installation? A. Absolutely! I have a great relationship with a local wholesale distributor. They have a full show room that you are welcome to visit. They will give you a quote and you can pay them directly or I can bundle your entire material & labor package together. They even have financing available. As an independent flooring installer, my own overhead is lower than retail.
