Default New Flooring

Well the builders grade carpets have finally run their course. The bride is looking for new floor coverings. Can anyone please recommend a quality wood or laminate flooring installation company. I'm not looking for the cheapest, just for quality work at a fair price..
Thanks

We were very pleased with the workmanship, price and responsiveness of Wildwood Flooring located in the mall in Wildwood on 301. It's in the same mall with the hardware store and the Post Office.

It is family owned and operated. We had laminate installed by them and couldn't be happier. No up front money required and it was done when they promised.

We used Floor Masters and found them to be competitively priced and very responsive. We called them two different times with two questions and they were wonderful. Great customer service.

Smile Recommend Barry Wiser Floor Coverings, Inc.

For installation, I had a great experience with Barry Wiser Floor Coverings, Inc. at 352-457-3274. He and his brother, Brian Wiser, used to work for East Coast Flooring and Roberto's, but now work as independent installers and also as subcontractors. They have been laying laminate, tile, & carpet for 18 years and do an incredible job, plus they are really nice, polite, friendly guys.

Because I have severe arthritis, I wanted to cover all our tile (1050 sq. ft.) including kitchen, laundry, and bath with waterproof vinyl plank. I ordered samples of lots of commercial vinyl plank online, selected Burke Commercial Vinyl Plank in Persimmon and ordered it (at $2.50 square ft.) from Yoder's Sunstate Distributers in Ocala (352-629-5833). It is heavy, springy, can be mopped with buckets of water, resists animals, dents, and golf shoes, and looks just like wood (no kidding). It was designed for high-end medical offices and office lobbies.

Toni Yoder recommended Barry & Brian Wiser for the install. After getting Barry's estimate, I ordered 5 and 1/4" baseboard delivered from Romac. I had all the furniture moved into the garage and had the tile steam-cleaned. Barry & his brother leveled and prepped the tile and grout joints with a concrete-epoxy solution, took off the old baseboard, took off the toilet, spray-painted the new tall baseboard with three layers of oil paint, installed the vinyl plank, and put in, caulked, and touched up the new baseboard and reinstalled the toilet. They cut each plank a different length so it would not have that checkerboard look that comes from using only three cut lengths of flooring. It looks incredible, as do the new baseboards. They did an absolutely perfect job; many of our neighbors have asked for their phone # after seeing our floor. Doing it this way ended up costing me half of what Lowe's estimated for the plank flooring with tile removal and $300 "sale price" plank install, and Lowe's laminate was not waterproof, not springy, and not easy on knees and feet. And doing it this way gave me a better appearance overall, in my opinion. I will try to attach photos here. Anyway, I am next going to use Barry & Brian Wiser to do a new kitchen backsplash, because they do beautiful and creative tile work as well. I would highly recommend Barry Wiser Floor Coverings, Inc. , and would recommend Yoder's Sunstate as a distributor as well.

In that same process now also. Couple years ago we had floormasters replace all the original tile and the carpet in the dining living room kitchen, bathrooms it was a huge job.

Now we are doing the Master Bedroom, Guest Bedroom and Den. 700 sq ft.

Went to Wildwood Flooring and decided to go with laminate. After getting the bid from Wildwood went to Floormasters since I had used them before.
Floormasters was $1000 dollars more than the bid from Wildwood for the exact same product.
