Are you writing a book?
You ask alot of questions!
Local guy is in Hauppauge but he does flexiteek, that is what I have and I don't like it.
Plasdeck is better product. There is no local guy but there is a guy in NC named Travis Tea.
He comes up and does it when he has a few jobs.
Check google for the products and numbers

Plasdeck guy in West Babylon,
Very expensive, was twice the price of Travis Tea

For what it’s worth:
I had planned on having that type product installed on my boat but changed my mind after taking a closer look at it.
I got a quick price from the guy in Babylon, he was expensive, but my decision wasn’t really based on cost. I just wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to having it glued down.
Instead, I got woven PVC in a teak pattern that is like having a removeable snap in carpet without it being carpet. It looks good, cleans easily, and is easily removed when I’m doing mechanical work on the boat so I don’t have to risk getting oil stains on it. I’m on my second season with it and so far it still looks like it did the day I got it.
It costs just a little more than a snap in carpet would cost and comes in lots of different patterns and colors.
I got mine from Corinthian Marine and they call it Aquamat, but there are a few companies out there who sell it.
The only down side to it is that like the other products you’re considering, it gets very hot on bare feet in direct sun. But slippping something on my feet is much easier than constantly cleaning an uncovered cockpit deck.

I like the grass mat carpets. Look nice and work good.
I would not get the teak again.
It is super hot.
Scratches easy from dog.
Looks good but not if you like bare feet or have a dog.

I had flexiteek on my last boat and agree - was way too hot for the direct sun. They say their new generation of materials is better, but I'd have to see it to believe it. If you like the product or its not in a direct sunlight location the templating and install was flawless.
I have real teak on the new boat, lots of it, and it's amazing. Cool to the touch, feels great underfoot, just have to clean it and oil it once per year.
