We are in looking into redoing the flooring in our house & lanai with porcelain tile. If you have replaced your flooring, what flooring company did you buy from? Was installation done smoothly or were there issues? If you had tile installed, how well did the crew bump the tile to the existing molding? Did they use grout to bump the tile to the floor molding or did they remove the molding and put back on? How did the flooring crew handle your furniture? And lastly, were you pleased with the end results?

Floor Master of Wildwood installed our tile throughout home, moved furniture. They removed baseboards and reinstalled cut door jams to correct height, placed anti fracture membrane and replaced furniture in to correct rooms. They removed carpeting and linoleum total time in home two and a half days.The team worked well together.

You can do it either way, but, in my opinion, the best way is the remove the baseboard and reinstall it after the tile has been installed. Have you considered luxury vinyl plank instead of porcelain tile? Also, the best installation is to use the same flooring throughout the entire house, including the kitchen and bathrooms. I like Floormasters and Roberto's. Good luck.

We highly recommend. We liked them so much we used them on 2nd home. They moved furniture, removed baseboards and installed transitions. They removed old ceramic tile.

I just used Roberto’s to rip out my rolled vinyl and carpet and replace with vinyl planking, had baseboards upgraded at same time - I highly recommend their team, they moved my furniture and kitchen appliances.

We were very happy with Roberto's, although they did not put down porcelain tile, but vinyl plank. Outstanding experience from start to finish.

Could you explain to me your experience with the Floor Shoppe?

Stick and Stone in Wildwood. Top notch place. Owner is a Christian gentleman and class act. Best installers I ever had. Moved and replaced all furniture. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Removing the baseboard results in more damage than not regardless of installers.

Use quarter round for a nice clean professional look.

[Rwirish]

Used them and they were okay. Nothing special and the final grouting could have been better (the same with a few quarter round cuts ).

As part of a larger kitchen remodel, we used Wickham construction to install 1000 SF of LVT. We had ceramic tile floors and we removed baseboard and placed the LVT directly on top of the ceramic. The noise reduction from ceramic to LVT is noticeable and very much appreciated.

If you are replacing carpet with LVT which we did in the bedrooms, we used quarter round as the baseboards would be lower and a noticeable line on the walls above the baseboard would show.

Since our house is older, 2001, we took the opportunity to remove the popcorn from the ceiling as well while messes were already being made.

We had Roberto's remove all square ceramic tile and install porcelain, new 5 inch baseboards and paint. The communication wasn't always the best however the workers were good. There were a few minor problems we noticed after they left. They came out and checked it out. The fixes were completed without any issues. That was the part that meant something to me. They stood behind their work.
