It is JES Home Improvement (Rick is his name) and he was very good. The number is 502-649-7434. Hope it helps. PS- I love the vinyl plank flooring!!

Thx for sharing ur experience and his number

Agree if you want to match. We replaced our rugs with Mohawk luxury vinyl flooring made in US and with lifetime warrantee. the install was by LA Flooring, 318 Shopping Center Dr, Wildwood. Family owned. Did great job removing all baseboard, lowering it to meet new flooring and touching up the wall so you could not see where baseboard had been before.

Thx for the helpful info.

My wife said it’s a personal choice and I total agree. Some like the feel and warmth of carpet in the bedroom. Others like the way the luxury vinyl looks as it flows through from the living area into the bedrooms depending on what model of home you purchase. In short, whatever the wife wants is exactly what is best.

We replaced all our floors after closing with Best Flooring off of 466. They had the best pricing of all the flooring companies we visited. They did a great job.

I did this in a fully furnished home. The furniture did not present a problem. They moved the furniture to the other side of the room. I would not worry about rushing. Move in and then reconsider. I got wood floors due to the use of a wheel chair. Easier to use the chair on the wood floors.

Buy a Roomba Vac cleaner Keep stuff off the floor and let er go with the door closed. Come back an hour latter and your floor has been vacuumed. \

yes, I would just ride out the carpet for a few years as it’s already there and yank it out once it wears in a few years down the road, etc.

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions and recommendations.
I interviewed 7 flooring companies and Tony D at 774-644-9317 (shown as above).
I decided to buy the LVP from Floor Masters and hired Tony D to do the work.
The total price is almost 1/2 of Great Lakes and other companied quotes. (Robertos quote is pretty good too)
Tony is one of best contractors whom i have worked with. ( I have been a landlady since 2003 and have done a lot of remodeling).
He is very responsive, responsible,and reliable.
He picked up the LVP on 09/23, started the job on 09/24 ( from 4 to 10 PM), and finished the job on 09/25 (from 4:30 to 10:30 PM) as he promised.
I am extremely happy with his work. I highly recommend his services.

Sincerely,

Yoko
