Testimonials From Happy Customers About Scrounger's | Scrounger's Paradise

Mark,Attached are a couple of photos of the deck using the Atlantic City boardwalk material. It is beautiful and the only decision to be made is to let it weather naturally or apply an oil to bring out the beautiful red tones in the wood. I am very pleased with your support and also the coordinating of getting the boards sliced for me. The slicing process was managed well and done nicely and it is so cool having a piece of the boardwalk as part of my home.Regards, David Richardson
Hey – how about “Shopping at Scrounger’s Paradise”. It is an experience in itself – if you have a building or remodeling project, you should check out Mark’s inventory first. From the usual to the quite unusual, he has an assortment of materials that are worth a look for great prices. Be prepared to spend some time searching for something special! YBG”
Mark, Kathy & I just wanted to send a short note of thanks for all the help with our recent flooring purchase. You and your team truly understand customer service! From listening to our needs, finding the right products, your pricing, etc. through to the follow-up service you provided were all beyond our expectations. The floors are now installed and they look beautiful – we’re so glad we found your business!. Thanks again. TJW P.S. The additional things we found while visiting your business are great as well. We will be back to pick out a slab of wood for a dining room table soon.
Hi Mark, I just wanted to let you know that the mahogany I have purchased from you (last week was my third load), works out great for my contract furniture business. The price is the best that I could find anyplace thus far. I am sure I will be back for more, as my needs continue. Thanks for all your assistance, S L
Mark, Thank you for your knowledge and help with our project- great product, great price and great experience! Look forward to working with you again soon. Thanks again CB Haywood County
“i just purchased some beautiful pattern grade mahogany from Mark. You won’t be able to find this nice of product for his price anywhere. This stuff is a dream to work with. Also check out his Nakashima style slabs that he’s got. I recommend doing business with Mark he’s an honest guy.” – Eric
“Good Morning Mark, I wanted to express my excitement over my recent purchase. It was only by accident that I ended up at your warehouse. A girlfriend had called to tell me of your Mikasa sale and my intentions were to just find a few peices to add to my pattern. Little did I know that I would walk out having purchased over 4000 sq. feet of Brazilian Cherry hardwood, Tigerwood, Itailian Tile and beautiful Travertine!. What a great way to shop with so many items located in one central spot and the quality at such reasonable prices is outstanding. Another plus is the experience with design you and your wife have to offer. My contractor pulled up and you had us loaded and on our way. It was a delight to work with you and I wish you continued success with your business. Thanks again.” Caroline
“We had been shopping for some time and we found that his prices were very reasonable in comparison to others. We also found him to be very knowledgeable about the wood. We would highly recommend that you consider Mark for your wood floors.”–Cecil B., Mount Pleasant
“The floors are very elegant and give the home a “WOW!” factor when you enter the home. The flooring is great. I hope to continue to do business with Mark for any future needs that I may have.” –Billy P., Arden

“We used the Exotic Line of wood flooring and installed the Tigerwood in several of our houses. People are very complimentary of how it looks. It is gorgeous! I highly recommend Scroungers Paradise! –Nathan B. (Builder), Mtn. Home
“In my search for unique wood to refinish my home flooring, I discovered Mark Olivari’s company. Out of the numerous exotic woods Mark had to offer, we chose South American Rosewood. Mark has extensive knowledge about the origin, the hardness, the wear and installation needs of each wood. Because of Mark’s extensive inventory and guidance we now have furniture quality flooring.” –Bill & Vickie S., Lake Keowee
“Thanks Mark! I was so excited to find such beautiful exotic hardwood flooring for our new finished basement! Thanks to you we know now about the most “stable” flooring for a more humid area. It looks amazing!” – Jennifer G.
Congratulations on your new, huge location…Scrounger’s Paradise is another gem for Asheville with its unique exotic wood and unbelievable art objects. We created a beautiful table out of the tigerwood we recently purchased. We’ll be back soon and often to find more treasures…R&L Brooklyn, NY
Scrounger’s Paradise has been a great find. They have a wonderful, eclectic selection of items at great prices. Mark has also been great to work with and has been very fair and honest. P.s. I forgot to mention the floors we bought from you. You can add on: We bought beautiful hard wood and tile flooring him, and are amazed at the quality of both for such a great price. It was by far the best deal we found! -NC Nikki
Mark, We purchased enough Canary wood flooring from you to completely floor our whole home, bedrooms and all. I can only say that was the best decision we have ever made. The flooring is absolutely beautiful, and everyone who sees it in our home raves about it being incredible and unique.Your prices were much better for this exotic wood than prices quoted to us at the “most recommended” flooring store for their less than perfect hardwood. I was amazed that we were able to have the absolute best for the lesser price by buying from you.The contractor we hired to lay the flooring told us the quality of the Canary wood was the best he had ever laid in his entire 30 year career, and he had only one small piece of about 18″ out of the whole house that he thought was substandard. He told us the flooring quality and beauty was “amazing”!We are discussing starting another project in our basement to keep us busy over the winter, and you can bet we’ll be back soon to purchase our materials from you. Thanks for giving us the option of NOT going to the big box stores.
