I had an outstanding experience using Bode Floors! i enjoyed working with Jenna to choose the color and style of LVP that I wanted. I had old, glue down LVP and carpeting replaced with LVP throughout the entire house. The four installers were very pleasant to work with and had the entire job completed in just 2 days - even staying late on the second day to make sure it was all done. No other flooring company that I spoke with would move ANY piece of furniture (except for stove and fridge). Bode's installers moved it all which was incredibly helpful for me. I absolutely love how my floors and stairs turned out and I highly recommend using Bode Floors! read more

I am sorry to say that I have read reviews, from Bodes that I am one of the unhappy people that dealt with this company, and I am very dissatisfied. From the very beginning , I should have been made aware of certain things when I picked out my LVF. I also got carpet in one n my rooms. Everything was wrong. The order, the installers, the carpet. All of it was done in a rush. The floors have jagged edges. The people that came by to look at the flooring which was done wrong said it makes it look more authentic. The carpet couldn't be laid properly in one area, because the base board to secure the flooring was glued down, to secure the floor, and as a divider. Therefore they couldn't get the carpet secure, under the base board divider. How do u hold down the carpet when the baseboard was glued down? Just a terrible experience from beginning to end. I wouldn't recommend Bodes Flooring to anyone. Just a bad nightmare! I spent quite a bit of money doing the whole house, and I was just another number. So as I said earlier, there are too many flooring companies, and I would not recommend or pick Bodes. read more

We've had 30 years of experience with Bode 's. In November they refinished our hardwood floors. From Steve in the office to Max and his team we are still very happy with the outcome! Bode's is the best hands down. read more

We recently had Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring installed in our home. Bode Floors did an outstanding job. The installer crew consisting of thei lead Rick, George and Tim surpassed expectations in terms of their expertise, attention to every detail and professionalism. I have not seen a crew of this caliber in recent years. Bode clearly engages and maintains a great staff as these guys have been with Bode Floors for a long time (over 20years!) and the quality of their work reflects this!. Brandi Marshall the sales person was very helpful, making sure that we we able to select a product that met our requirements and even coming over to verify that a particular transition piece from our hardwood foyer to the LVT floor was the right color. We would highly recommend Bode Floors and would certainly go back to them again for any future flooring needs. read more

I am pleased with the carpet, the carpet installation, but not the people who installed the carpet. They broke things! Closet door was not put back on track. Luckily, I caught this before they left. While installing the carpet, they were banging VERY loudly that chips from the ceiling below fell off. When I told them, the one guy just brushed the chips in a pile not saying anything. I asked them not to completely raise the blinds but they did and one of the blinds were broken. A mini fridge was empty so they had no business going inside of the fridge. Yet on the inside a rack was broken. All of this is true. A manager at Bode offered a credit on my order ($200). I would not use Bode again. I used Bode 19 years ago and there were no issues. Wish there were no issues this time. read more

An update about my previous review listed below. While talking with my girlfriend, she told me that the same salesman had told her that the policy to not reset the toilet had just changed. She had her floors done a couple of years before mine had. So, the salesman, Allen, just out right lied to me. I don't want to do business with a company that has no problem lying to it's customers. I had this company do laminate, carpeting and ceramic tile in my home. Their price was slightly above other quotes, but I went with them because someone else had them do some floors and came out satisfied. However, I became disatisfied when they did the ceramic tiles and did not reset the toilet. I was not told they wouldn't do this and had to find a plumber to do it. This greatly added to the cost and caused me more inconvenience since I was leaving town in a couple of days. The threshold for a room is also too high and they wouldn't have known this because they did not put the door back on either. The sales person said he was not aware of their not resetting toilets anymore until after he made the sale with me. He said he would do whatever it took to make my satisfaction 100%. I have not heard back from him since. read more

Went here on a recommendation from my folks. My wife and I were looking for carpet for our house. We didn't want to get anything outrageous, just something for the next 10 years or so. We worked with the same salesman, Bill, as my folks did and he was very good. He is very knowledgeable about his products and very willing to work with you to fit you with a good product at a good price. What I liked best was the price they gave you was the price you sign for. I got 4 other estimates from a mix of box stores and local stores and the price each provided kept fluctuating. My install was last Friday and besides one hitch, which was remedied quickly, I am very happy. The carpet looks great. The installers were clean, efficient and courteous. I already recommended Bill to a co-worker and he has since bought carpet from them. read more

I had Bode install hardwood flooring throughout my first floor area, and I had them install flooring in my kitchen twice. I have been very satisfied with all my experiences with them. The installation team was very pleasant and respectful of my home. I had the first kitchen floor installed, and then about 8 years later, I had to have another kitchen floor installed. The reason why I had to have a second install was because I had complicated foot surgery and afterwards I needed a cushioned kitchen floor to walk on. The salesperson was very helpful in selecting a the right one. I did have an issue with needing more glue under a small section. They were very prompt in sending someone to correct the problem. I am going to put hardwood in my bedrooms, and I will definitely used Bode again. read more

We just got new carpet from Bode Floors. We couldn't be happier. The whole process was very smooth from ordering to installation. We were a bit skeptical because we came to the store on the second-to-last day of a Karastan summer sale. While it seemed like a sales tactic (that we had to decide within a day), we confirmed that this was, indeed, legitimate; we were just unlucky by coming at the very end of the sale, and the sale dates are from the manufacturer, not the store. Our salesperson (Steve) spent all the time with us that we needed (he has been selling carpet for 40 years so he was very knowledgeable). He also came out promptly to measure when we decided to place the order (because of the end of the sale, time was of the essence, and he came out to our house in the evening to get it done on time). As for installation, the two-man crew was professional and tidy. We had followed the instructions to prepare so they were able to move the furniture easily, and they put everything back almost exactly how they found it. Some of our furniture was anchored to the wall, and they unanchored it and re-anchored it when they put the furniture back. They cleaned up completely so there was absolutely no mess when they left (we saw them spending a good deal of time sweeping and vacuuming as they were working and before they left). One side note: I read on their Web site that "there is no such thing as seamless carpet." Perhaps, it was just the style we ordered, but I cannot find any seams anywhere, including places that I KNOW there are seams, such as doorways where they did a room separately from the hallway. It looks great! I see a few poor reviews on this site, and I don't doubt that others have had different experiences, possibly with different salespeople and/or a different installation crew, but we had no problems at all. read more

We were looking to replace all the flooring on our main level with hardwood. I visited several other flooring places before going to Bode. There we met Ellen who really knows her business. She was amazing to work with. She understood exactly what we wanted, answered all of our questions, and helped get it done quickly. We could not be more pleased! They did a great job installing our beautiful floor and the price was less than we expected. I highly recommend Bode floors! read more

We had the sheet vinyl flooring in two small bathrooms replaced with Congoleum Duraceramic. It was installed perfectly. The total cost was around $1500 (I removed the old vanities and toilets myself before they came). They are very honest, too. I wrote a check for the final installment that was too high because I transposed the last two numbers. They called me and I picked up the incorrect check and wrote them a new check for the correct amount. read more

Bode Floors in Ellicott City was a great experience for me. Lizzy was a pleasure to work with as her attention to detail and communication throughout my tile/hardwood/carpet selection and installation made my experience very positive! read more

We do NOT recommend this company. We had 1500 square feet of very expensive engineered Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring installed last August. Within one month the floor began to cup and come up. Manufacturer claim nothing wrong with product, Bode said not enough moisture. Not enough moisture in August in the DC area, are you kidding? We even have a humidifier and had it checked by A/C tech. Handicapped resident and dangerous situation. VERY DISSATISFIED!!!! NO STARS read more

Our first experience was through a general contractor and my mother thought they did a really good job installing carpet in her sunroom. My mother needed to have 2 rooms done before she could move back in so we contacted them. So this was the first experience we had without the general contractor. Installation was to take place the day before my mother could move back in. The day before I asked for a very early installation and received an 8 a.m. I was told to get there as early as I could so I arrived at 7:50. At 9:30 I finally reach someone that tells me the truck has broken down and could we reschedule. That was not an option so I was told they would arrive at 3 and at 3:20 I get a call that says they won't get there until 6. At 6:30 I get a call saying they are on their way. They arrive at 7:50 and finish at 10:20.....so 12 hrs later the carpet was installed So to say the least I would not use them again and would not recommend them read more

We are three time repeat customers of Bode Floors. We have used them for carpeting, laminate and wood flooring. When we were looking for wood floors this summer, I got estimates from several other flooring companies, just to do my research. I was presented with an overwhelming number of choices, but none in my price range or preferred color. I returned to Bode and immediately found the wood species and color that I was looking for. They make the selection process so easy. Their in stock selections are high quality and very reasonable. I ended up upgrading, but still came in below the other estimates. Their salespeople are great to work with and very accomodating. The installation scheduling and work is excellent. I would recommend Bode to anyone, and I will not waste my time in the future getting other estmates. read more

I am a repeat customer with Bode floors. They did an amazing job installing my carpeting upstairs, no wrinkles and it looks great eight years later. Unfortunately, I didn't have them put in the ceramic tile in my kitchen and it needed it be re-grouted. The guys working on my floor were, on time, neat and an excellent job. The job turned out to be more complicated than expected and the two folks just rolled with it. They were very contentious and cleaned up after themselves. The finished product was outstanding. I was on an extremely tight time frame and Linda Starbuck was able to get the job organized in a few days and made payment and Corinthian of events effortless. I would definitely recommend them to my friends. read more
