Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

We received a phone call from a very distressed lady, who had new engineered Blackbutt flooring installed, and the flooring was "peaking" (lifting in area's).  Sam attended the quote to repair the floor and the lady was so upset, not only with the installer, but also with herself.  She explained that she was renovating her entire house and had mentioned to brickie she was buying engineered flooring.  The brickie then advised her that "these floors are so simple to install, I could do it for you for half the price".   The brickie installed the floor, not having the training or experience, he installed it incorrectly and floor eventually "peaked". The heartbreaking issue was the cost.  This woman paid the brickie significantly more to install the floor, than what we charge for an experienced, professional service. Consequently, we repaired her floor and then went on to supply and install new Blackbutt flooring throughout the rest of her home.  We did this in 3 separate installations to suit her renovation schedule.
