T&G flooring submitted a bid on our new home based on a square footage estimate that was 11% higher than the actual square footage. Who would have thought that you would actually have to measure all the rooms in your house. We were comparing pricing with others on a per square footage basis and assumed the company could be trusted to measure the rooms accurately. Whether intentional or unintentional it did not matter since we signed a lump sum contract and was not until after we had a lot of wood left over that we realized that there was the error in the measurement. And T&G gets to keep the excess flooring material. So T&G got paid for 11% more wood than they put down and they got to keep the wood that I paid for, because the contract says so. So measure your rooms and compare closely to the quote!

We also had squeaky stair floors, excess slopping of stain on the baseboard and bugs actually boring out of the top of the wood floor.

Beware!
