My house has this same problem. At least once every 2 years, a new spot tents. It was from a crappy install job. Renovations are on deck and the whole floor is coming out. I'm reluctant to put something back down and have this happen again, or just go with a concrete floor and rugs. Still undecided.

Of which, does anybody have any suggestions of a flooring expert in the Northshore/Nola area?

I certainly wouldn’t worry about the floor tenting again. It’s not that difficult to avoid, just be sure your installer knows what he is doing. Perimeter gaps of at least 1/4 inch and expansion gaps (or soft joints ) in the field in long areas. A lot of times the soft joints can be minimized or omitted altogether.
