Where do you get your discounted 'big ticket' stuff in North Atlanta? We're in buying mode in the middle of a flip, and looking for places beyond HD and Lowe's.
- Windows
- Doors
- Tubs
- Flooring/Tile
- Countertop
- Scratch and Dents
...etc.
My GC recommended Builder's Surplus in Smyrna(?). We normally got flooring and tile from Floor and Decor as they have decent prices on a few things. But open to hear more.
Where do you get your stuff? (Even if it's a specialty place e.g. a windows place).

Oddly enough I find the same items I see at big box stores on Amazon and Wayfair. Sometimes the same item will have a different manufacture name. We will usually shop for an item we want then just go home and look them up and buy cheaper.
I found Flooring Market to have the best prices when I was shopping for LVP. They are out of Illinois and shipped directly to me very quickly, no additional charge. One thing to be aware of, they advise to inspect the shipment for damage before FedEx leaves or they will not cover damage. Also, being shipped on a pallet, you need to be able to unload it. I will definitely be using them again.

@Greg Middleton so I’ll be selling my current home soon and did a rehab on it with new LVP. Question is what the best way to maintain it. I’ve read that steaming with a shark or comparable is a no no on LVP

I'm still new to it myself. Recently did my personal home, sort of as a test to see how I liked it. I really havent done anything but vacuum it. I do have a dust mop that I use as well. As for a real cleaning, the manufacturer should have recommendations. Mannington for example suggests Mannington Award Series Rinse-Free Cleaner. I have also read that a simple water and vinegar mopping works well.
