The $0 Estimate That Could Cost You Thousands – Why Paying $65 Now Could Save Your Entire Project

Why Our $65 In-Home Consultation Is the Smartest Investment for Your Home Project – Not Just Another Estimate

The Price Trap Most Homeowners Fall Into

When homeowners in Knoxville, Maryville, or surrounding areas start a flooring or home renovation project, one of the first things they compare is price. It’s tempting — after all, who doesn’t like the idea of getting something for free?

But here’s the hard truth:

Choosing a provider solely based on a free estimate can cost you far more in the end.

The Hidden Cost of “Free” Estimates

Most free in-home consultations are:

• Rushed – On average, free estimates last less than 20 minutes because consultants are booked with 6–8 stops a day.

• Superficial – Important details are missed, leading to “surprise” charges later.

• Sales-driven – Focused on closing quickly, not solving problems thoroughly.

In fact, according to a 2019 Angi report, homeowners who chose based solely on free estimates ended up paying 18–25% more on project adjustments later due to overlooked details during the rushed appointment.

Why Our $65 In-Home Consultation Is Different

Our paid consultation model flips the industry standard upside down by giving you:

• Up to 1 full hour with a flooring specialist — no rushing.

• Thorough assessment to identify potential challenges before they cost you.

• $65 credit applied toward your project if you book with us.

• Free UV curing upgrade – adds extra durability and faster finish time.

• Free finish upgrade – pay for one finish, get the next higher tier.

• Exclusive booking discounts – save even more once you commit.

This isn’t just a consultation — it’s a strategic planning session for your home improvement investment.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

• 86% of consumers are willing to pay more for better customer experience (Emplifi, 2021).

• Homeowners who invest in detailed planning upfront reduce unexpected costs by up to 30% over the life of the project (HomeAdvisor, 2020).

• In Knox & Blount County, our booked clients save an average of $450–$1,200 compared to those who started with free, rushed quotes and had to cover additional costs later.

What You Risk With a Free Estimate

Why This Matters for Knox & Blount County Homeowners

Our homes in East Tennessee face unique conditions — from humidity swings to seasonal wear — and these can impact your flooring project’s long-term performance.

A rushed, free estimate might miss key environmental factors, while our detailed consultation ensures your investment is protected from day one.
