Floormasters on 301 did a great job.

Roberto’s is terrific and I have used them and would use them again. I also used Floor master’s for vinyl in the bedrooms. They did outstanding finish work.

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.

They did a great job for us, also. Highly recommend.

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 are looking to buy in TV, and I am rejecting all houses that have tile throughout the living and bedroom areas. Too cold and noisy. Vinyl plank is so much more inviting.

We used Robertos and their service and prices were great.

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.

When placing the LVT over the ceramic, what was done to smooth out the profile of the ceramic as nornally the grout lines are lower? I like the concept of not removing the ceramic as that can be a major project. Please advise thank you

1 house was easier since we had them install plank vinyl in 2 bedrooms before we moved in. We removed baseboards (and painted ourselves) and took out carpet. Crew re-installed baseboards (no quarter-round). This was a one-day job, but I think they came back the second for a few minor things.

2nd home was a much bigger job. Removed ceramic tile in kitchen, entrance, hallway, and guest bath. Floors of Distinction could remove the tile 2 ways - 1) least expensive but lot of dust or 2) third-party, dust-free (mostly) for extra $'s. We opted for dust-free and glad we did. We lived in house while all this was going on and no problem. Crew moved and replaced all furniture.

Previous owner had plank vinyl installed in living room and master that we like, but we did not like the transition strips to ceramic tile. Crew removed plank tile in living room (older run, so it didn't quite match newer version plank tile. Removed all quarter-round (previous owner so we stayed with quarter-round). Installed new plank vinyl throughout, except master bedroom (we left old run version since it was separate from rest of floors) (installer did not like the transition strip to bathroom in our master bedroom and replaced it with new one) - living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, hallway, entrance and guest bathroom. Crew removed (and replaced) kitchen cabinet baseboards and pulled out stove and refrigerator. Kitchen now has same floor as rest of house and no transition between living room, dining room and entrance or kitchen.

We had enclosed our lanai. We had Floors of Distinction take "old" plank vinyl from living room and use it on the lanai. It was extra work to trim out the floor with quarter-round to make the edges neat and tidy, but the installation crew did a great job.

I was very impressed with the transition strips installed for the external doors and next to the tub in the guest bath (I didn't know it needed a transition strip beforehand) and it blends in and looks great. The crew removed the toilet and reinstalled the toilet with a new wax ring after installing the vinyl plank.

I think the job was 4 days.

I can't quote you price per square foot, but call and talk to someone at the store. The estimate is free and they need to measure your floors to give you a quote. The owner happened to be our sales rep and he spent a lot of time up front explaining our options and prices. He was professional and very detailed. He took his time and answered all our questions.

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 Masters did not honor their installation warranty and it cost us $5,000 to make it right. A test for water passing through the concrete was called for by both the tile and the mastic manufactures. Floor Masters claimed that they performed the test but were unable to show them. Seniors versus Crime tried to help but we were stonewalled. Eventually gave up. Life is short.

Beware......not at all happy with work done...

[Biker Dog]

Royal Palms did both our homes. Fabulous to work with.

[bonrich]

We used Robeto's in two houses. Very pleased with their work. The store owner came to the job during and after completed to make sure all was done properly. Also, we had wood meeting ceramic tile in our kitchen. Salesman told us to make sure we requested not to use transition pieces when the two met, to have a smooth, no bump change when going from one room to another.
