My team laughs, but I start every estimate with lifestyle questions.
I always ask clients about their pets, kids, and how they use each room before suggesting floors. The guys I work with think it's unnecessary and slows us down, but I've avoided so many headaches by matching the floor to the home. Do you think this extra step is worth it, or am I overthinking things?
Totally, I'm that guy who asks a million questions too. You're not overthinking it at all, because a happy client is way better than a fast one. Keep doing what works.
