Is there a certain direct mail service they prefer?  

Every situation is unique although I prefer to self manage.

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

When you need the money, sell assets, transfer funds back into checking account 2 days later.
