Why Choose BuildDirect Instead of Big Box Retailers for Your Flooring Needs?


Choosing the right flooring can be a pivotal decision when it comes to a home improvement project. Not only does your choice impact the aesthetics of your space, but it also influences the durability, maintenance, and overall value of your home. When purchasing flooring, you’re faced with the sometimes overwhelming decision of where to buy—from big box retailers like Home Depot or from flooring specialists like us. While both options offer a variety of choices, there are many reasons why partnering with us is a great choice.



  1. Unparalleled Selection: We boast an extensive selection of flooring options, including hardwood, laminate, vinyl and carpet. With a wide range of styles, colors, and materials available, you have the flexibility to find the perfect flooring solution to match your unique preferences and needs. Unlike big box retailers that may have limited options due to space constraints, our online platform allows for a vast array of choices, ensuring that you can find exactly what you’re looking for. PLUS we offer FREE samples (shipping included) to help you quickly move forward in finding your dream floor.
  2. Expert Advice: Our product experts specialize in flooring and can guide you all throughout your floor buying journey to make sure you get the floor that will work perfectly for you. Big box sales associates may (or may not) have basic flooring knowledge, but often lack the specialized flooring knowledge that will ensure you get a floor that you’ll be happy with for years to come.
  3. Quality Assurance: We prioritize quality, offering flooring products that meet rigorous standards for durability, performance, and sustainability. By partnering directly with manufacturers, we can maintain strict quality control measures throughout the production and distribution process. This ensures that you receive high-quality flooring that is built to last, backed by comprehensive warranties and guarantees. In contrast, big box retailers may carry a mix of brands with varying quality levels, making it harder for you to discern the best option for your needs.
  4. Competitive Pricing: Despite offering premium-quality products, we are known for our competitive pricing. By cutting out the middlemen and selling directly to you, we can offer significant cost savings compared to traditional retail channels. You get discounted wholesale pricing while getting the highest quality floors. While big box retailers may advertise low prices, they often come with hidden fees or markups, making the overall cost higher for consumers.
  5. Convenience and Accessibility: One of the standout advantages of BuildDirect is our online platform, which provides convenience and accessibility. You can browse and purchase flooring from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need to visit multiple stores or navigate crowded aisles. Our website features detailed product descriptions, images, and customer reviews, empowering you to make informed decisions with ease. We’ll also ship FREE samples directly to your door so you really can shop for a floor from your couch. In contrast, big box retailers may require time-consuming trips to physical stores, where you may face limited availability or long wait times for assistance.
  6. Exceptional Customer Service: We’re committed to providing exceptional customer service at every step of the purchasing process. From expert guidance during product selection to seamless order fulfillment and delivery, our dedicated team ensures a smooth and stress free experience for every one of our customers. Should any issues arise, our responsive customer support team is readily available to address concerns and provide timely assistance. While big box retailers may offer customer service, the level of personalized attention and expertise provided by our team sets us well apart in terms of overall satisfaction.


In conclusion, while big box retailers like Home Depot may offer flooring options, BuildDirect stands out as a superior choice for discerning consumers seeking quality, affordability, convenience, and exceptional service. With our extensive selection, team of product experts, commitment to quality assurance, competitive pricing, convenient online platform, and dedicated customer service, we offer a comprehensive solution for all your flooring needs. Whether you’re renovating your home or embarking on a new construction project, partnering with us ensures that you’ll find the perfect flooring solution to elevate your space for years to come.
