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! read more

Excellent service and quality. I had new LVP flooring put in. The job was quick and looks great! Very easy to work with and went above and beyond! They were referred from my realtor, I would use them again! read more

I can't say enough good things about 1st Choice Flooring. The new floors (material supplied by ADM Flooring) turned out absolutely beautiful and completely transformed my space! Junior did an outstanding job with the installation, precise, clean, and clearly someone who takes real pride in his work. Huge thanks as well to Josh and Charlie, the managers/foremen, who were incredibly helpful throughout the process. Communication was solid, timelines were honored, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall experience exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for quality flooring work done right by a team that actually cares, I highly recommend them. I would 100% use them again!! read more

Woooowww!! 1st Choice Flooring is absolutely amazing! Josh was such a pleasure to work with--professional, responsive, and genuinely kind. From the moment I contacted him, everything moved quickly, and within a week my home was completely transformed. I am beyond happy with the results--honestly even better than I imagined. The pricing was very fair, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much! read more

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! read more

We had an absolutely amazing experience with First Choice Flooring! From the very first estimate to the final completion, the entire process was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. Josh got us started and set the tone with his professionalism and knowledge, and Charlie, along with the entire crew, showed incredible work ethic, skill, and attention to detail. They handled everything--new LVP, carpet, and baseboards--and truly transformed the spaces they touched. Pricing was right on point, communication was clear, and the finished result was beyond what we imagined. I couldn't recommend them more--if you're considering new floors, this is the team to call. Everyone should use them! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Josh is amazing! They did not cut corners and they did an amazing job on our floors. They couldn't have done any better

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. read more

We asked 1st Choice Flooring to quote installation of engineered hardwood flooring in our home. This included tearing out existing tile and carpet, and repairing carpet on our stairs. JOSH came to our home, measured and explained the process clearly, and by end of day, he had sent us a quote. The quote was very fair, similar to a quote from another last April Following up on the quote JOSH recommended a brand of flooring, and we agreed to start work pretty quickly. There was never a question that the installation could proceed and complete before the holidays (with desired inventory in stock in LA.) Within a short time, the crews were starting and moving quickly to complete. JOSH and Charlie and all the crews were on the phone with me each day or stopping by to supervise. They were great at answering all my questions, and were of enormous help with all the details. Work completed, it looks beautiful including all new baseboards. I'd definitely recommend this company to friends! Thank you! read more

Highly recommend 1st choice flooring. They did the floor in our whole house. Affordable, very friendly and came back immediately when we had a concern about an area that needed to be fixed. Their workers are also more tidy than other contractors we've had at the house. 5 stars read more

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. read more

Had a wonderful experience with 1st Choice Flooring for a recent install job at my house. They are extremely professional, communicative and reasonably priced. Additionally, I was impressed with the quality and efficiency in which they completed the project. For example, they sent someone to paint the baseboards ahead of time so no time would be wasted! They were also accommodating since I work from home, completing other areas of the house before getting to my office. All in all super happy with how quickly they got the job done and the quality they delivered. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family. 1st Choice Flooring knows how to treat customers, the owner Josh checked in throughout the job and even called us after the job was completed to make sure we were satisfied with the install. This is one business I am happy to support. Thank you! read more

We are so glad we went with First Choice Flooring. Josh was quick to respond and set up an estimate asap. We had to finish our flooring before we were able to move in and I was in my late third trimester of being pregnant, so he understood our urgency. His pricing was great in comparison to a few other companies, including Home Depot and Lowe's. We had him install vinyl flooring. His team was great and worked efficiently to get the project done within a week's timeline. To be honest, we've had a few negative experiences through our lifetime with construction companies that start a project and do not finish in a timely manner. This want the case. Josh and/or his guys were in communication with us on a daily basis. Therefore, we appreciate Josh and his guys, and highly recommend First Choice Flooring! read more

1st Choice is the best of the best. High quality, great and honest people. Josh was amazing from the initial consultation to final inspection and everything in between. Kyle was amazing with communication and understanding. Jr and the team transformed my dental office from the 80s to modern day with professional gorgeous vinyl. I could not be happier and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone for all of your flooring needs. It's difficult to find reliable and honest people, but the foundation of this company is built off that and I trust them completely! Can't wait to get my house floors done by them :) read more

Josh, Kyle and the whole team at 1st Choice Flooring were wonderful. Josh did a great job with the quoting process, providing suggestions and strategizing with me about options for refinishing the 1st floor and installing new wood floors on the stairs & 2nd floor. He then stayed engaged throughout the installation and made sure everything went well. Kyle and the installation/refinishing team did a great job and sent pictures when I had to travel for work so I could stay informed. We're thrilled with the finished product and I'd definitely recommend them. read more

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. read more

As a designer myself, I had called in about 5-8 quotes for a small project of about 1200 sq feet. They had to add a close match to the existing engineered wood flooring , already at the residence. The job was going to be hard .. since the new wood was of a different company ( so we were prepared for having the size , thickness and groove cut different from existing. We could not find anywhere the same size and thickness. Josh and his team were selected after a Pre selection of 6 flooring contractors. The second reason it was hard is the staircase noses that came in were of different thickness than the edge trim existing. These guys achieved the desired results ... in a seamless way , that one cannot say it was an add on later. Very patiently , Miguel , the installer ... aligned each nose and flushed it with the existing trim. I feel satisfied... to have scheduled the desired results since clean lines and good work was very important to me read more

When initially seeing all of 1st Choice Flooring's reviews, my wife and I decided to use them. However, I do not recommend this company at all. We hired 1st Choice Flooring to remove existing laminate and tile, and then to install LVP. During the project, we saw an unknown black adhesive under the previous flooring and asked 1st Choice Flooring whether this could be asbestos. They assured us that it was not, but we hired a third-party company to confirm and give us peace of mind. The results came back positive for asbestos, but 1st Choice Flooring was not using the proper tools or precautions for dealing with asbestos. We had to put the project to an immediate halt and urgently hire a third-party abatement company to decontaminate our house and to test the air in all the rooms for asbestos. This was an extremely stressful situation, it cost us several thousands of dollars of unexpected expenses that we had to pay for out of our savings, and we lost access to our home for several days. 1st Choice Flooring did not make this situation any better. They lacked professionalism throughout this process, they lacked proper communication, and they refuse to accept full responsibility for the situation they caused. Despite my several follow up attempts to discuss this situation with the owner Josh, 1st Choice Flooring has become non-responsive and refuses to even acknowledge our attempts to contact them. Please save yourselves the stress and go with another company to take care of your flooring needs that will not jeopardize your family's health. Overall, I cannot recommend them. read more

These guys are great, Charlie gave me a bid last Thursday I approved it and they were able to get here Today Monday, the guys that came out were amazing, I thought our job would take 2-3 days nope, they got it all done in 1 day. They installed LVP in our 2 guest bedrooms also removed painted and re-installed all of the baseboards. The floor looks great. read more

Absolutely horrible!!! Carpet tile lines didn't match up and they wouldn't correct it. Over estimated the required amount of materials by 25% and charged for it. Installed flooring that was too high so my exterior door wouldn't open, then had to tear it all out. Didn't properly waterproof under deck tile so had to tear it out and charged me for it. Installed a sink and faucet that was not per the spec. and still wanted to be paid for it. Terrible workmanship. And more!!! Never, ever, ever, again! read more

Friendly, professional, and high quality work at a great price. I will recommend this company to all my friends and family hands down! I submitted requests for quotes through the Yelp app and received 4 responses. The owner of 1st Choice Flooring (Josh) was the first to respond and also make a same day visit to provide a quote before the other 3 companies scheduled an appointment with me. He showed up with a mask, took measurements, described the process, and gave me a quote within 15 minutes - super impressed with his efficiency and charisma. After evaluating all my options, it was a no brainer to go with 1st Choice and I'm very happy about my decision! He happily dealt with my HOA to meet the IIC requirements and the provided the specs that were needed for the approval by the Board. His timely responses enabled me to have my guest room completed . His crew replaced my carpeted floors (200 square feet) with luxury vinyl in one day. They were very careful moving my furniture and my new floors look absolutely fabulous. Thank you Josh and Kyle! read more

I can recommend 1st Choice flooring after they did the upstairs luxury vinyl plank installation at our house. They have a great team and completed the work on time.

I had a diy cement and paint floor I wanted to replace and 1st choice flooring was able to help me with the entire project while I was out of state. I was worried it would be hard to remove the cement or that it would be hard to communicate over text and phone, but they figured everything out! They got the quote back to me in only a few days after I started messaging them on yelp and they finished the entire project in a little over a day. They keep in communication with me the whole time and made really easy to schedule, pick out materials, ask preferences for the floor boards and pay. I would recommend them for any flooring project! read more

Great floors! Professional service, quick and courteous. Excellent work crew. My second job with 1st Choice.

We hired 1st choice to replace our carpet and install an LVP floor for our condo in UTC. Josh (owner) gave a competitive quote. Overall the floors turned out decently, but not without several speed bumps along the way. The 3-4 day flooring project that was quoted ended up finishing about 10 days later. This was mostly due to only 1 person (Ernesto) working the job, instead of a team of people I was expecting. An internet cable that was run under the original carpet suddenly became a last minute problem that 1st choice didn't know how to deal with and put down the new floor before dealing with this cable, leaving me to deal with it. The job site was left a mess with tools and trash scattered around our condo, but after mentioning it to the foreman (kyle), the jobsite was cleaned up thereafter. Not long into the project the new floor was installed over unleveled areas of the sub floor, causing the boards to flex and bend heavily when walking on them...only after this obvious defect was pointed out, that area of the floor was then properly leveled. This early issue made me weary and on alert, although I would have preferred smoother experience. read more

First of all, I'd like to say how great it was to work with Josh and his team. I contacted four flooring vendors to get a quote and 1st Choice was by far the most affordable. Josh provided a quote right away and was very accommodating and adaptive to our needs. We had vinyl plank installed in our living room and family room. Ernesto, our installer, was a rock star! He removed the old laminate flooring and leveled/prepped the floor on day one. The next day, he installed the vinyl plank. On the third day, the baseboards were installed. Overall, our experience was very positive and we love our new floors! I highly recommend 1st Choice Flooring for all of your flooring needs. read more

One of my toilet hoses would not reach the valve after the installation. Josh went out of his way to help me get the new parts & re-install my toilet.
