There are some brands that are better then others but the dealers/installers can make the best home a mess and and a modest simple home a palace!
Make sure the dealer is a good one, get referrals.

does anyone know of any reputable dealers around the Wichita Falls Texas area? What makes me mad is things like this. We have been looking around for around 2 years while we were trying to sell our home. We have been quite interested in the Solitairre brands and had a salesman we were quite comfortable with. Well, he has recently changed companies and NOW he is telling us things about Solitairre that he never bothered to tell us while he worked for them. (such as vents in the floor, instead of the ceiling like the brands he now works with) JUst makes me wonder what else he isn't telling us. __Gena
