Josh, Charlie, Kyle and team surpassed my expectations! The team did work for our association in our buiding in downtown San Diego. We opted for an LVP flooring. From my first call with Josh, to the estimate with Charlie, then with Kyle and his team who showed up to do the work, they were all very reliable, courteous, and did amazing work. The floors are beautiful and they definitely went above and beyond with what a typical installer would do and at a very competitive price. I would recommend 1st Choice Flooring to everyone who wants a job well done with a reliable crew. Thank you for a great experience 1st Choice!

It is rare for me to leave reviews, but Josh, Kyle, and the rest of the First Choice Flooring team are excellent - both in personalization and work product. After going through about 5 other flooring companies who gave me high estimates, I was candid with Josh and he was extremely understanding and happy to work with me. The First Choice team was also excellent in answering all of my questions leading up to the project, as well as handling the delay we encountered with sourcing materials running up to my move in date. As for the work product, I was extremely impressed. His team was also kind enough to fix one stair that a previous installer (on already installed flooring) did not do properly - no questions asked. I'll let the before/after photos speak for themselves. Thank you Josh, Kyle, and all!

Same pattern leading into itself

I waited a long time to post this review because I've had really mixed feelings. But the more I live with the flooring the more unhappy I am as I notice more and more. We have a 1200sqft condo and they removed tile floors and carpet, leveled floors (mostly) and installed LVP from a manufacturer they recommended. We had all the work done before we moved in and they were flexible and helpful in scheduling. Once work started, thankfully I decided to drop in to check on the install when I did because there were two workers there that I had never spoken to, neither of the project managers I had spoken to, and they were installing without the underlayment. Then they were going to install the underlayment incorrectly, and I had to pull up a YouTube video to show them how the underlayment was supposed to be installed. (There was also a language barrier as I don't speak Spanish and neither of them spoke English). We did get the project manager on the phone and he came out and got things going the correct way. The other manager who was supposed to be there was just MIA, clearly planned since he got the key to these other guys. They then got the install done and did a really nice job on the baseboard. After they left I noticed they left their pencil markings for cuts all over the floor so I had to go around and clean all those off. This is my first time ever having flooring done, so other than the pencil markings I gave a broad look around and signed off. I didn't know what to look for until now that I've been living in it. All over the house, they put exact patterns from the LVP right next to each other or 1 board away. The longer I'm living with it, and see it right in the middle of our living room, it drives me nuts. I'll need to get some rugs or something, but the more I read about floor install, this seems to be a basic "watch out" that should be part of the process, so I'm really disappointed that this is what we ended up with.

I had an excellent experience working with Josh, Kyle and the team at 1st Choice Flooring. I worked with them to install luxury vinyl flooring throughout my 1700 square foot home, as well as install a backsplash in the kitchen. I received about 5 different quotes for the flooring project, and Josh worked with me on pricing making them one of the most competitive quotes I received. The other reason I decided to move forward with them is because Josh made comments and observations during the walk-through that none of the other contractors commented on -- little details I didn't even think about like baseboards in the stairs, needing to cut doors, how to handle the floor outlets, and some other unique aspects of the installation. From the time I signed their estimate to the time of completion, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Josh and Kyle were very professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. They responded to any questions and concerns I had and they've been responsive even after the project is finished. Josh even gave me his contact for a welder that's been able to help me update my railings who has also been great to work with. I would give them 5/5 stars and happily refer them to anyone looking to have their flooring installed.

Josh and team did a great job installing Hi end LVP and baseboards in my townhome, based in Escala. Josh did a great job communicating and offering ideas to help decide on a product that I needed for sound barrier for unit below. Quality installation, efficient and competitively priced as well as kept the schedule. They cleaned and fixed all items. Fantastic job with the stairs and custom work.

Matching with old floors

First choice flooring did a small job for me. They had to replace the flooring in just one room. I liked the fact that they did not think a small job was not worth their time. The were able to find floors that matched my existing floors. More importantly they were able to apply a gloss finish since the wood planks they were able to source has matte finish. This shows that they are able to tailor their work to meet the needs of the customer. Install was very smooth. I pointed out a few things I like fixed after they were done and they came out to take care of that. One other thing I want to calm out: there was a spot in another part of the home that I wanted them to sand and refinish. Albeit small, they did not nickel and dime me. They were happy to just take care of it. The crew was very respectful. I would hire them again if there is a need.

Great job on my flooring install. The whole crew was timely, professional and detail oriented. Highly recommend.

They did a wonderful job with the installation of vinyl floor planking. A thirty-four-year-old carpet was ripped out. and replaced with quality flooring at a great price.

Pergo installation

My project was to replace the carpet in my office with Pergo, and to install new carpet in the master bedroom. I purchased the Pergo through Lowe's, since it was the pattern I'd already installed in the rest of the condo. I received several reasonable quotes through Yelp, and decided to go with 1st Choice Flooring. I also received several "not interested" replies. Charlie provided me with the initial estimate. He was willing to match a quote I'd previously gotten, and to work with their supplier to get the carpet I'd selected. 1st Choice was eager to start the job ASAP. Charlie sent me the quote right away, scheduled the job, and answered all my questions promptly. On May 6th, the work began right on time, with Kyle as foreman. They handled the demo and removal of old material efficiently and neatly. I have bi-fold closet doors in both rooms that needed to be removed and reinstalled, as well as several large pieces of furniture to be moved. The Pergo was done that day. On Tuesday the 7th, they finished the carpet installation. Everything looks great, including the closet interiors and the baseboards. Note that the baseboards in the office were new, and needed to be painted. All this was seen to by Kyle. 1st Choice was accommodating regarding the final payment, as well. Josh stopped by to pick up the check once my funds became available. Excellent work, good value, and super nice guys all around. I highly recommend 1st Choice.

Ask the Community - 1st Choice Flooring

We have a floor with engineered wood by Lauzon. We've been very happy with it. We would like to install some in other rooms. Would you use a Lauzon product and install it?

It depends on the availability of the material, if you are looking for the same collection and color by Lauzon and we can get it, we will absolutely install it.

Does this business offer financing?

Sorry! We don’t offer Financing at the moment!

When we decided to replace the carpet in our condo in Pacific Beach we contacted and got bids from…read moreseveral flooring companies. Although their bids were similar, we weren't happy with the prep work we had to do or what they wanted to charge for it. We are in our late 70's. We visited Flooring Creations, talked to both Gus Sr. and Gus Jr. We got a bid that included everything we needed done and was financially reasonable. We were on a limited time schedule and they were great about working within that time frame. The installers they referred us to were on time, neat, and did a great job. When you find a family owned local company that makes you feel like your job is important, works with you, and does a good job you go back. I would totally recommend SD Flooring Creations.

This is a family run company and we worked with Gus Jr. He was thorough in his explanations, patient, and answered our questions. They have been in the business for a long time and Gus intends continue the business well into the future. I feel confident that if I have questions in the future, he will be there to answer them. I would definitely recommend giving them your business. As for the installation team, (who are not employed by Gus but they have been working together, hand in glove for many years and are an excellent partnership), they were considerate of my home and my family, polite, courteous as well as very professional. They come in ready to work and they work continuously while on the job site. They clean up as they go and do a final clean up. They even went the extra mile to help us find a handyman to fix an issue with the stairs so the entire job would be finished as planned. THANK YOU!! Oh, and ladies, if your family has put you in charge of getting this job done and you act like the one in charge, this team treats you with the respect expected and defers to you when they have questions or need to tell you something. There are SO many more good things to say and note about the experience. Please consider including them in your research for your project.

Our installer was Lester and he was great. Very nice, very skilled, and was glad to answer questions and ask us questions along the way that would affect our install.

When I drove by the floor store one day I thought I'd pop in on the off chance they might have something I liked. I was initially worried their pricing wouldn't be competitive but i was surprised that their pricing was reasonable and the customer service was fantastic. They sent a manager out to measure and then ordered the product promptly and installed. I selected a challenging pattern (grid) and was glad they I was working with this store because you can tell they are used to more challenging jobs and have a commitment to excellence and attention to detail. Their installer was great and all in all I am so thrilled with how the project turned out. They also stock all kinds of wood and laminate and vinyl! If you have a floor project coming up and want a more personal approach highly recommend you check them out. Also they have tons of samples that you can check out and see how they look in your space!

I should have asked her first, however I did have the advantage of finding and bringing home 25+ flooring samples before visiting Floor Store and Design-Point Loma. Then my designer and I met and chose the best flooring for my home.... It was not from Floor Store and Design. However Josh said he could get it for me... and he could get it at a better price. He did just that. He even delivered a sample to my home so we could compare to the sample I had picked up elsewhere... and Floor Store and Design price was lower! What surprised me about working with Josh and Door Store and Design? I thought Josh was a salesman.. He was much more than that. He was hands on in working out details of installation. One example: I found a baseboard I liked at another place, and Josh was able to order that for me at same price as offerings at his store. He also made a personal visit at end of work to check details before I made the final payment. I also had new doors installed, and Josh coordinated work with the door contractor for smoothest completion of floors, doors and baseboards installation. It was important to me to work with a full service floor store to ensure best results. The installation team Josh sent was professional, efficient, and did a great job! Floor installer Jonathon and team were great ... always showing up on time, cleaning as they went, and were friendly and easy to have around. Most important.. they were perfectionists in their work. I learned that Jonathon had learned the trade from his father and is now working with/training his brothers. Josh's installers obviously take great pride in their work and Josh also takes great pride in managing Floor Store and Decor-Point Loma.
