Why purchase from Nova?

We offer convenience & expert advice at your finger tips

Decorating your home or changing it in any way is a very personal experience. There are thousands of talented designers and flooring salespeople that can skillfully guide you through the process. If you’re lucky, you’ll find one. On the other hand, if you have been caught in the trap of the big box home centers, you are more than likely to find yourself without expert flooring advice. We provide you with all kinds of advice from the real experts, the manufacturers and we pride ourselves on our staff’s continued knowledge of current products.

Does Nova price match?

We have an aggressive strategy of low prices combined with top-notch service and value added services. We don’t just provide lip service about customer relations our customers tell us the same thing. We have hundreds of customers that thank us for a job well done and ensure us that they will be back for any future renovation needs. WWe also implement any constructive criticism received from our customers for ways that we can improve and keep customers repeatedly happy.

Our point here is simply that when you evaluate the bottom line cost of our price compared to another flooring store, you’ll find that we are usually the lowest cost. If we are higher, we will do what we can to match pricing. Our main goal is making sure the customer gets the product they love at a price they can afford.

Can you help me find a specific flooring type if I can't remember the name?

We have the capability to search manufacturers, to help narrow your shopping to the specific items that interest you. If you want “oak”, we can present you with every single product that has an oak influence of some kind. We break the results into different flooring categories so that you can see all of the hardwood that is made of oak. You can actually compare different oak colors and styles. This can narrow down your selections quickly.

Can you find the flooring style I found on Pinterest?
