Your answer to Lumber Liquidators (not iFloors because they just went bankrupt!)

Ever do a Google! search on Lumber Liquidators or the now-defunct iFloors complaints?  It’s a pretty eye-opening experience.
Our team is ready to work with contractors on a wholesale-to-the-trade basis. We’ve got your price… and your service team!

BEWARE - Before you buy from anyone else, ask the following questions:

What is the return policy?
How much will you be charged to re-stock if they accept returns at all.

What is the sales and use tax policy?
Are you ready to break the law by ordering out-of-state and not paying your state’s taxes? Odds are, you may not like the result.

How much is shipping… really?
Shipping needs to be factored into your total price. $1.99/ft isn’t really $1.99/ft if you have to pay $99 to get four 20 square-foot boxes of hardwood delivered. In fact, that little addition brings your price to $3.22/ft. Then, add your tax (or penalty if you get caught trying to skirt the law). In addition, are you aware of your state’s laws governing use tax and sales to non-profit or tax-exempt end-users?  Fact is, you as the provider are responsible for paying use tax on the materials unless you’ve paid tax on them when you purchased them… or thereabouts. Obviously, this is just food for thought, but it goes to show that you need to get the facts straight.

How do they handle warranties?
Do you have a real, live person you’ve met who you can turn to if there is a problem? Or, have you been sent to a call center in xyz-country to speak to someone named “Mike”?  Or, worse yet, is it all by filling out a form and paying with your credit card, only to be relegated to email or voicemail hell when you try to reach someone with an issue?

What is the complaint resolution process like?
Or, better yet, is there one? We live in the real world, and real things do happen. We’ll be there for you… will they?

Keep Your Floor Looking Beautiful

At Magnus Anderson, we want to keep your floors looking beautiful for as long as possible. With proper care and cleaning, your floors can look as good as new for years to come.
Floor Care TipsVacuum or sweep your floor regularly to prevent scratching. We recommend general cleaning once a week.
Clean up spills promptly using a clean cloth and Magnus Anderson Hardwood Floor Cleaner.
Use floor mats at exterior doors to catch most dirt and grit. Use area rugs in high-traffic areas, at the ends of steps, and near doorways. Avoid rubber backing or non-ventilated rugs.
Use protective pads or caps under furniture.
Examine your floor’s finish so wear is caught early, before complete refinishing is necessary.
Maintain a consistent humidity level year-round in all areas with hardwood flooring. Excessive variations in humidity levels can cause hardwood to swell, shrink, cup, crack, and show gaps between boards. We recommend the use of humidifiers or dehumidifiers in areas where humidity is inconsistent.

Refinishing gives new life to your hardwood floors, bringing back the luster and beauty they once had. Traditionally, refinishing your floors meant leaving your home for 2-3 days and coming home to a house covered in dust left from the sanding process. At Magnus Anderson, we care about you, the environment, and your floors. We feature waterborne treatments that are specially formulated to be environmentally friendly, so you don’t have to leave your home while we work. Our finishing treatments can be walked on in as little as 3 to 4 hours. The Magnus Anderson Dust Containment System guarantees you’ll have beautiful floors without the nightmare of airborne dust in your air ducts and throughout your home. With a treatment from Magnus Anderson, you can relax and breathe freely knowing that you, your family, and your home are safe.
Real Craftsmen Don’t Leave a Mess

Refinishing your hardwood floors shouldn’t be a battle with dust. There is a cleaner, healthier, and faster process for restoring your hardwood floor’s natural beauty. The Magnus Anderson Dust Containment System eliminates airborne dust from the sanding process, leaving you with beautiful hardwood floors without the mess. We use the most advanced, most powerful dust containment technology on the market.

The Magnus Anderson Dust Containment System uses high-powered vacuum hoses connected directly to the sanding equipment to remove dust generated from the sanding process from your home before it can escape into your home. The dust is collected outside, leaving you with beautiful, newly-finished floors – and no mess.
Magnus Anderson Waterborne Classic Finish
Magnus Anderson Cares

Traditionally, refinishing your floors meant leaving your home for 2 to 3 days to avoid the toxic fumes produced as the finish was applied. At Magnus Anderson, we care about you, the environment, and your floors. Our Swedish waterborne finish, Classic Finish, sets the standard for environmentally-responsible hardwood floor finishes. Classic Finish is specially formulated to be environmentally friendly, so you don’t have to leave your home while we work. It uses water – not toxic solvents – so there are no toxic fumes putting your family at risk.
Quality Finish, Beautiful Results

Magnus Anderson Classic Finish brings out the true beauty and richness of your hardwood floors. It is the most durable hardwood floor finish of any kind – waterborne or solvent-based. Classic Finish is fast-drying, long-lasting, non-yellowing, and will not change color over time. In just 3 to 4 hours after a Magnus Anderson treatment, our finish is dry enough to be walked on with stocking feet. After 48 hours, you can place (not drag) furniture back on your floor.
We’re Not Just Refinishers, We’re Master Craftsmen

Every refinisher at Magnus Anderson is trained and certified through the Magnus Anderson Institute for Master Floor Refinishers. This highly specialized training program certifies that all craftsmen have an advanced understanding of the Magnus Anderson process of refinishing. Ultimately, it is through this hands-on training of the Magnus Anderson process and its products that we are able to pledge the highest level of professional service available.

Earthscapes – Carpet One’s exclusive line of resilient flooring!
Loose-lay resilient flooring that comes with amazing warranties at a price you’d never expect!
Earthscapes is an amazing cushioned vinyl floor covering that is relatively new to the North American market. It’s been used for years in Europe and provides richly-textured, realistic patterns combined with excellent performance.
Technologically-advanced Earthscapes features:
- a layer of fiberglass fully encapsulated with PVC vinyl for complete dimensional stability,
- a comfort foam cushion,
- beautiful printed patterns and textures,
- a urethane wear layer that’s highly-resistant to stains and traffic.

WHY CHOOSE EARTHSCAPES?

The unique construction of Earthscapes premium cushioned vinyl provides a comfortable and long-lasting choice for carefree, everyday living.
With beautiful designs and textures that mimic hardwood and ceramic, very little required maintenance, and outstanding durability, Earthscapes can be used in any room in your home. If you have an area where moisture may be a problem, Earthscapes provides the perfect solution.
Had a flood? Just dry it off!
Earthscapes also offers exceptional acoustical advantages (very quiet underfoot), ease of installation, and resistance to the contraction, expansino, curling and cracking that are problems with “old-fashioned” vinyl flooring.
The Titanium and Platinum collections are exclusive to Carpet One. No one else has them!
Earthscapes is also extra-wide, 13′2″.
In most cases, subfloor preparation is easier than with other flooring products.
Here in Alexandria, we’ve had explosive growth in clients requesting Earthscapes Platinum and the new Titanium, and we’re days away from installing almost 300 square feet of the Titanium series in the most abused area of our showroom – the entrance to the warehouse!
I’ve chosen to put it there because all of our displays and samples come and go through that section and it’s more “abused” than even our front entrance.
That’s how much confidence I have in this fantastic floorcovering!
