We purchased carpeting and Pergo flooring through Flooring 101 almost 15 years ago and we were so impressed with them at that time that we knew when it was time to replace our carpeting recently that we needed to go back to see them again. Josh was working the day we went in the Ventura store and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful so it was pretty much a given that we'd go with them again. It took quite awhile for us to decide on the carpet color we liked so we stopped by the store a few times to pick up different samples from Josh and he was more than patient with us while we were in the "deciding phase". Once we made up our mind, he made the process so easy and quickly got our place on the install schedule. While at the store one day, we also fell in love with a beautiful vinyl that looked like tile so we purchased it to have our kitchen flooring redone. It was two different teams that worked on our flooring, one for tile and the other for carpeting, and both teams were excellent! Thank you to Josh for making this tough process so easy for us! Oh, we did do some checking around at other stores just to make sure we were getting a great deal and we didn't find anyone else who impressed us as much with his expertise and customer service and his price was more than fair! We highly recommend Flooring 101 and even though I'm sure all of their employees are great, we only worked with Josh and couldn't be happier with his service. read more

Erik Teagarden was most helpful and I was able to find a good wood flooring for my townhome. One that fit the already existing cabinets and wainscoting. The installation was grueling as the ceramic tile had to be removed before the manufactured wood could be installed. The crew did a great job! I get a happy feeling whenever I come downstairs. read more

We recently took on a long-overdue carpeting project in a large area of our house, which included two bedrooms, a laundry room and stairs. With the help of Josh at the Ventura store, we were able to find exactly what we needed, at a reasonable price. Josh was responsive and professional through the whole process, and patiently accommodated our changing installation dates. The carpet was installed yesterday by Bruno and his crew, and I can't say enough about what a wonderful job they did! We had lots of odd angles and several spots that required seams--they did such beautiful work that we honestly can't see where things were pieced together. They worked tirelessly and efficiently and were pleasant and professional. These guys are the best, and we're thrilled with the results! read more

Erik at Flooring 101 was an excellent resource for us in choosing the type of flooring that we needed, then coordinating the installation so it could be done soon after we bought our new home and before we moved in.

I love Flooring 101! I have bought my flooring from them for many years and service has always been top notch. Recently I redid a bedroom and my experience was once again a good one. I was undecided and took the salesman Eric on a crazy ride until I finally decided, looking at the whole showroom at least twice. Eric was patient and informative and really helped me narrow it down. My room looks beautifu!! read more

I was extremely happy in my experience with Flooring101and working with Erik. He was always on top of things and gave me paperwork up front with all the estimates and conditions, and when all was finished, carpeting and LVP installations, I paid the price which was estimated. We were always in touch via texting or phone, or showing up to check work in progress. I would definitely recommend them. Nancy H. read more

The sales people, Tony, Nancy, and everyone at the Ventura Flooring 101, were helpful and friendly from start to finish. We never felt pressured to make a choice, they answered all our questions, and they graciously allowed us to take many samples home over several weeks before deciding on a material. The installation went well, too. The crew was very professional, courteous, and did a beautiful job. I would not hesitate to use Flooring 101 in the future. read more

I had someone come over for a quote. They didn't bring much with them, any of my ideas were waved off, and having an in-home walkthrough seemed pointless when any discussions had to be done in the store. read more

I walked into the place of business. I met Josh G. He was personable and walked me through the kind of carpet I was looking for- high traffic and pet friendly. Picked out a color and Josh came the next day and measured my living room where the carpet was being replaced after over 25 years at least. The day of delivery I met the installer Bruno and his son! Wow what a great team they were! Clean, Efficient and fast! I am so happy with my carpet, no mess, no fuss and they moved two of my chairs out and back in! I can't thank you enough Josh, Bruno and your son! read more

Cameron was great to work with! He communicated well and the showroom has a great selection to choose from! They are flexible with installation and affordable. They coordinated with a stair remodel and was able to adjust our schedule last minute. The installation team was also great! They were professional and worked nonstop! We will be returning once we decide to change out our carpet. Highly recommended read more

The initial person that I was speaking with, Cameron, was great but unfortunately he left for another job and my project went sideways after. The installers did the best they could but there was zero follow up and there were gaps in the runner of where the closet door used to be-where the room meets the closet space. I took pictures of the lifting carpet and showed that it wasn't done correctly and sent it to my contact person. Somebody finally came out weeks later and said that it could be fixed but they needed more material. They left and I have yet to hear anything from anyone. it's been over a month and I sent another email a week ago with zero response. I spent a lot of money and was very flexible with my schedule and my carpet isn't installed correctly. read more

I tagged along with my wife and mother-in-law to find flooring for her house, this place is such Rip off , very unprofessional I asked for a Quote they said they can't print one, I asked for where they make there material they didn't want to disclose that information. What are you hiding ****Material is second hand QUALITY ???**** OR IS THE MATERIAL NOT WORTH SAYING WHERE ITS FROM???!!! I ASKED WHAT IS THE BRAND ,PRIVATE LABEL! BUNCH BULL CRAP!! I don't recommend this place they sell nothing BUT trash material I would rather shop at Home Depot,Lowe's. BEFORE GOING BACK. read more

I had Gilbert come down to do an estimate and when he got to my house his measurement tool wasn't working . So he rescheduled and said it was the battery's and then he made another appointment to come down when his measuring tool was working and he canceled again saying "I was exposed to one of my workers that tested positive for corona virus." I was happy he told me and then I went down couple days later to go into the store to see the products even though I didn't get measurements yet. I then see him inside working , he then comes Out and said he doesn't think he has it . I left right away because he said he was exposed to it unless maybe he just doesn't want my business. When I was leaving he mentioned he can't do measurement still because he's going on vacation. Either way I find this really odd that I can't get measurements. I am taking my purchase for flooring elsewhere. I just wanted to share my experience, stay safe everyone read more

Very good job from start to finish. The install of carpeting and entry way hard flooring was exceptional. Erik from the Ventura store was very good to work with. He made sure the job was completed on time and within budget. read more

They fixed the flooring that was not complete and were nice and professional when doing so.

I can't express enough words or my delight with the joy of my new floors. I went into Flooring 101 clueless and found all the information I needed with my representative Daniel. He was polite and a wealth of knowledge. He didn't make me as though I was clueless, because I actually was when it came to flooring. With Daniel's guidance my entire house was upgraded. The installation was done in one day. The installation crew was professional and caring. These guys know their stuff! I'm so happy I went with Flooring 101. I can't stop staring at my base boards. You will not be sorry if you choose Daniel and the crew as your choice. Finally, a shout out to Kevin from the Oxnard location, as well. Constance & Donnie read more

We looked for quite a while when looking for new engineered hardwood flooring and finally decided on Meritage Knotty Barrel Oak. We worked with Josh and he took really good care of us. We had to order it and it took some time to get it in. When they came to install it, the installers found that we had an asbestos issue with our old flooring.so we had to wait until that issue was taken care of. We finally got our new floors installed and the installers dis a wonderful job. The floor looks beautiful! It was a pleasure working with Josh and although it took quite a while to get the floors installed, we are very pleased with our experience with Flooring 101. Thanks Josh! read more

Had them install a laminate floor probably 7 years ago, it was a good experience. So when I moved I went back for them to install carpet in the bedrooms and vinyl plank to install myself. Huge mistake. Salesman was knowledgeable but... so many things I won't get into but basically he gave half truths to hook us ‍ that's sales I guess. So whatever at least we're getting the floors we want. Carpet installers were a giant cluster. They started installing the wrong material and left without a word, leaving our carpet in the gutter. Literally. In the gutter. No word from them or Flooring 101 on when they'd be back. Called the store and got a run around. Finally got connected to someone who said they'd be back around 4 pm. Whatever, at least we'll get the floors we want. They show up after 7. And do the worst carpet install I've ever seen. I'm not a carpet guy so forgive me if the lingo is off, but the tack strips are crooked and not aligned properly under the door. Way off. Called to get it fixed. Took a week. We had to move in to avoid paying rent at the old place for an extra month. Had to install the vinyl plank because... we're moving in. Carpet installer shows up to fix things and says I shouldn't have installed the plank. Installer shows me that the plank is in the wrong place under the jamb. WHICH IS BECAUSE HE PUT THE CARPET IN THE WRONG PLACE UNDER THE JAMB AND I COULDT PUT IT WHERE IT SHOULD BE. He fixed two of the doors but didn't put padding under the carpet he stretched out. Notice it every time I walk into my bedroom. Where do I stop? Had more issues with the sales team, general don't give a shit attitude on all fronts after I spent over $6k with them. Maybe they could have done more to fix it but after their attitude and arrogance I'm done. I learned my lesson, Flooring is a trade worth paying someone to do correctly instead of going with the lowest bidder. I will do everything I can to make sure anyone who needs a floor avoids Flooring 101. read more

Jessica went above and beyond the call of duty trying to get my flooring. Unfortunately I had some flooring issues, and she was dealing with supply issues which lead me to call on a general construction contractor instead. But they were professional, courteous, honest and very competitive pricing. I have friends who have used them and recommended them to me & I would recommend them as well. read more

These guys have done two major jobs for us in the last couple of years. I dealt with Gilbert both times---a real professional. He listened to what we wanted and provided all kinds helpful info. for our decision making. Prices were as reasonable as could be the expected for good quality materials. Scheduling the install was easy and quick. Gilbert worked with our schedule, kept in touch and made sure things went smoothly and we were happy. Javier and his guys were expert installers. Showed up on time, worked hard and left the house clean. Overall really good experience. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic. Couldn't be happier with the process and results. Josh was friendly and helpful. The installers were great - they worked so hard, were very nice and did a fabulous job. read more

My husband and I had hardwood floors installed. Everything started out great with Cameron. One thing I kept asking Cameron during our initial visit is if the wood floor can but against our tile. I didn't want to di it if I had to have a transition. He assured us it could and there is a sample on their showroom floor. Cameron did the measuring at our home and again confirmed the flooring could be laid next to the tile. I won't get into the fiasco of getting the flooring delivered to acclimate but needless to say, Jessica at Flooring 101 is a superstar. She was able to have it delivered before we went out of town. On to the day of installation, the installer arrived around 10:00 am Friday morning and told me that he forgot some tool or machine and asked if it was OK if he came back Saturday morning around 7:45 to install the flooring. What else could I say, but yes since I wanted my floors done. After moving furniture all over the house and ripping my carpet out, the installer proceeded to tell me I needed to put in a transition. I'll shorten the review, my husband and I said no, told ghem to pick up the wood, it couldn't be picked up because the manufacturer wouldn't take it back, Cameron contacted another installer who said it could be done and he installed it. So this is my opinion if you want to use Flooring 101 for wood floors. Work with Jessica, she is 5 stars, request Javier, he is 5 stars, Cameron is a good salesperson but isn't good at follow up or returning phone calls so I will give him 2 1/2 stars. As far as the cost, they were a little higher than other places. I'm not sure we will use them again. read more

Just had our entire house recarpeted by flooring101. Cameron T, came by and measured up and the quote was ready the next day. It was clear, honest and reasonable. We quickly selected our choice of carpet from their extensive selection in the showroom. Their team of 5 professional installers completed the entire two story house in one day. Moving all the furniture is a complicated task, flooring101 handled that as well. There was no damage to furniture or the house and the carpet was installed flawlessly. Everything was left the way it was found. Couldn't recommend these guys more!!!!! read more

What a wonderful feeling to entrust your vision of new flooring to a reliable expert and to emerge from the process happier than you anticipated. Bill Seale worked with us extensively to ensure we got the right wood laminate we were after; fielding many questions and double checking details to confirm the items we inquired about. He made several marvelous recommendations that turned out to be just beautiful for the final look. We could not be happier. Bill is also an artist so has that unique artistic temperament.....if at first you feel he's a bit moody, just remember, the genius is there beneath the feisty exterior awaiting discovery. He's really a big wonderful teddy bear in the end. Highly recommend! We were re-flooring our factory's showroom and office which was a big project for us. It really felt like Bill was a true partner in the journey. And it was fun to celebrate the final outcome with him as well. We got the Armstrong Architectural Remnants wood laminate Woodland Reclaim/Textured Timbers - Old Original/Warm Character L3102. There was some confusion from Armstrong about the difference between the L3101 and L3102. Bill researched it and got the right answer for us. He also recommended the amazing underlayment. We haven't had a single squeak when walking on this floor. Really plush. The laminate itself is extremely durable. read more

Flooring 101 has been the place I rely on for all types of flooring for many years. Back in 1980, when I needed carpet in my first home, it was Jimmy, the owner, who installed it for me! The business now has 4 stores across Ventura County, and it still provides service like it was a mom and pop operation! The staff I have delt with over the years always treat me like their best customer. I have picked up a few rentals over the years, and Flooring 101 has given me great service and great linoleum and carpets at an affordable price. If you are on a tight budget, you can try the Oxnard store, where you can pick up remnants at very reduced prices. They are usually able to set up installation in just a few days. The last time I wanted flooring put in so I could show my rental, they had it installed witin 3 days! And I have never had any problems with the quality of the materials or installations. read more

I spoke to Jessica and this lady really knows her stuff. She also sticks to her word.

Having read all the reviews I had decided on vinyl plank flooring and so began my search. The first showroom I checked out was underwhelming in both choice and quality! So I set off for Flooring 101 and was lucky enough to be assisted by Roman Manzo. Initially I found the choice and variety of VPF to be almost overwhelming as this is a huge showroom/warehouse! However Roman listened very carefully to my criteria and pointed me in the direction of half a dozen possibilities. He then sent me home with samples - not just itty-bitty squares like the first place - but great big slabs of flooring! Once home it was easy to see which one was my favourite. Roman ensured that he gave me a price to love! and we figured out the optimum time for ordering. Flooring 101 will give you one month's free storage and I had to wait on the wonderful Golden Flooring's schedule. All in all it was a rewarding and pleasant experience buying my flooring at 101 Flooring and Roman was just so helpful. My flooring is now installed and I love it!!! I wholeheartedly recommend 101 as the best place for flooring of all kinds; you will be spoilt for choice! Thank you Roman! read more

We love our new luxury vinyl plank floors from Flooring 101. Daniel took care of everything for us and was very accommodating with our changing schedule as we waited for our new construction home to be completed. The person that delivered the floors was prompt and incredibly nice. Octovio and his team installed the floors for us. They completed the installation in half the quoted time and the product was immaculate. We would definitely do business with Flooring 101, Daniel, and Octovio again. read more

I recently bought carpet from them and had an excellent experience. Daniel Gooding was the sales rep that helped me and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm picky and asked a lot of questions but he was very patient and really knows the products! He gave great advice on not only the product before purchase but aftercare and how to get the most out of the warranties for the products! As a plus, he didn't hover but was there and ready to help when we needed him. The pricing was good too. The guys they used to install the carpet (Nestor Ruiz and partner) were professional and did a terrific job. I will definitely be going back to Flooring101 for new flooring when I remodel my kitchen. read more

I needed to replace my old carpeting with Vinyl Plank flooring. I found that Flooring 101 had the best quality product for my needs at an astonishing great price. No other flooring dealer in the area had any similar flooring quality and price. Purchased Cali Bamboo Flooring. Once I pulled the trigger, Josh made it happen easily and quickly. He reassured me when I had questions about the installation issues. The installers came, took out my carpeting and laid down the flooring in amazing time. I think they were done in less than 8 hours. The installation looked great, they definitely were skilled at doing this down to all of the fine details. The flooring has held up nicely for a couple years with no problems at all and still looks great My only pick would be that the installers did not do a great job cleaning and sweeping the dust left on the flooring after the install, which I had to do. Over all, I'm still very satisfied with the pricing, quality, communication and installation. read more

Home hardwood flooring install. Gilbert, the idea man, at the store is extremely knowledgeable and patient. We had a vague idea of what we wanted, he showed us the options, explained in detail and found us exactly the best flooring and baseboards for our home. The workmanship of the install was excellent, not a bad cut or gap anywhere. The end result is beautiful, exceeded expectations. This is a best in class operation. Lee and Cindy Olsen read more
