    Electric socket ripped out of the wall when the workers moved the fridge, which was still plugged in

    This was, without question, the most frustrating and disappointing experience I've ever had with a home improvement project. Everything below is based on what I personally saw during the installation inside my own home. Right from the start, basic flooring practices were not being followed. The installer wasn't using ANY spacers. I had to stop the job, leave the house, and buy multiple bags of spacers myself. What shocked me even more was that Marco openly told me they don't use spacers at all. I could not believe a flooring company would actually admit that. Even after I supplied the spacers, they were used inconsistently and--based on what I watched--incorrectly. As a result, the floor developed visible gaps everywhere. A large number of plank ends were not tapped together properly. Many gaps were large enough for me to see the underlayment. When I pointed this out, the Marco only acknowledged the most extreme cases and insisted the rest were 'normal.' Standing there looking at it myself, it absolutely did not look normal. In my opinion as the homeowner, the majority of these gaps should never have existed in the first place. The perimeter expansion spacing was also not done correctly, despite my very clear instructions for a 1/4" gap. After the installation, I found boards pushed directly against the wall in multiple places, with other areas showing inconsistent spacing. This was the opposite of what I requested. There was also preventable damage to my home during the installation. After the flooring boxes were dragged around, I found fresh dents and scuff marks on my walls that were not there before. Walls that I just had retextured and painted. On top of that, the installer plugged a refrigerator into one of my outlets to keep drinks cold, and when it was moved later, the outlet was ripped partially out of the wall. That turned into yet another repair I had to handle myself. The most serious issue for me was learning afterward that the planks were glued together in a way that makes the floor almost impossible to repair. Every flooring professional I spoke with told me the same thing: because the boards were glued together, repairs aren't realistically possible. If I try to remove even a single plank, it will be damaged and unusable afterward. Because of this, I now have to live with the fact that the only way to fix these issues is a complete tear-out and replacement at some point. For me as a homeowner, that means going through another full construction project inside my home--something I never expected right after paying for a new floor. What makes it even worse is knowing how disruptive it will be: all our furniture and belongings will need to be moved around again, and we'll have to deal with the noise, dust, and chaos of another major installation. I was hoping to have everything finished before we moved in, but now it looks like the replacement will have to happen while we're actually living there. This review reflects only what happened inside my home, but based on everything I personally witnessed, I would strongly urge others to be extremely cautious before hiring this installer.

    Marco's work and service is outstanding! If you are looking to get new hardwood or refinish existing floors, Marco and his team are your guys. They've been working on our floors all week and the process has been seamless. I don't have any complaints. Marco gives you a fair price for his craft and is super humble and honest. You can tell that he takes so much pride in his work with the amount of detail he and the team put in. We recently bought an older home and are undergoing major renovations. Our previous floors were old, smelled, and were scratched up (as you can see from the pictures). Marco and the team removed all the compromised flooring, sanded down floorboards, installed new hardwood, and refinished the existing hardwood that was salvageable. The floors were one of the last renovations to be done and it just gave our house a total facelift. Again, if you are looking to hire someone to do your floors. Marco is your guy!

    Original floor restored.  Also added laminate and will add baseboards. Will post more pics.

    Marco was the best. Flooring after sanding and staining looks great. He didn't up charge and made sure we were happy. Price was same as others plus he threw in more. Also had him do baseboards. Will be using him for all our jobs.

    I'm very pleased with a difficult repair to my original oak floor for a Berkeley Hill's mid-century. The job required new oak for a 50 square foot patch to match the room-well done! Marco's team was efficient, on time, on budget and very skilled.

    Excellent job, i had them start in the morning and had a new floor when i got back from work. The workmanship was absolutely perfect!

    Marco is amazing and does beautiful work. We even got him to do more than a floor, he installed our shiplap brick on our wall. The overall effect is incredible and amazing.

    Thank you to all of the previous recommendations on Marco Ramirez. We contacted him, and he was able to stop by our house that evening and give an estimate. We were very happy with his cost and offered him the work, which was to remove the old wall-to-wall carpet that was on the stairs, along the hallway, and in a guest room, and install hardwood floors in those areas. He and his assistant were able to start the project quickly, were on budget, and on time. The quality of his work is EXCELLENT! The value is EXCELLENT! We will hire him again to do two more rooms! Look no further for a hard wood floor installer! Super nice and sweet people!

    Marco and his crew are amazing. We thought we'd have to replace the floors in our new house until someone told us that these apparent badly worn planks could be refinished and that the white oak would really shine. Well, Marco confirmed this and only 3 days to sand and natural finish to the exact color that I was looking for at a fraction of price of replacing with new. The results are beautiful! Could not believe this was possible. We could not thank him enough for taking care of this project. Highly highly recommend him for your floor refinishing project.

    Testing grid with 4 options we were considering. Old floor was way too dark for us :)

    Cannot say enough great things about Marco. Would give him 6 stars if I could.  Obviously we love the floors and he did a great job. But the process and experience was also top notch: - We asked to see 4 samples with stain and finish options, and he made a test grid right on our floor so we could make an informed decision we knew we were going to be happy with - We had a somewhat complicated install as we were refinishing existing floors, and also extending hardwood from the dining room into the kitchen. You cannot tell the difference between the old and new floors and it looks perfectly continuous. We also had to figure out what to do with the gap between the new floor and the bottom of the cabinets, and Marco did a great job installing quarter-round to cover the gap, which we then painted to match the cabinets.  - We had a tight timeline as we were trying to stack a bunch of projects before moving into our new home, and Marco was very accommodating and finished the job exactly on time - He is also just a good and trustworthy partner, and would recommend him for any flooring job

    Marco was such a great find! After 60 years in the same house my parents have moved into assisted living. Marco did an incredible job of both refinishing the original hardwood and laying new wood ( that matches seamlessly to the old) in the areas that were tile. You can not tell where the old ends and the new begins! He did a fantastic job!

    So happy with our floors! They were polite, efficient, and flexible. We went from ugly orange wood floors to a beautiful walnut-same as I saw in a CB2 catalog last season. Turned out just like the photo. I wish I had more work for them to do!

    See all

I dislike about 95% of the carpet out there ... but don't have the option of putting in hard floors. My pickiness was no match for Andrew, however; he helped me find that needle in the haystack. He pulled out collections that fit my criteria, throwing them on the showroom floor and having me home in on the promising ones via process of elimination. When I showed him some varieties of carpet that I liked from a company outside of The Floor Store's network, he researched them to see if their products met his standards and if working with them would go smoothly (not so much). He got an in-network vendor to send larger samples so that I could really see what various styles would look like in my home. And he walked me through the contract process step by step, making sure I understood exactly what I was signing and paying for. Once that contract was signed, everything moved quickly. Andrew checked in during installation and even humored me at the final stage, allowing me to give him a virtual tour once the carpet was laid. I would certainly recommend him and The Floor Store to anyone looking to get new hard floors or carpet. It's probably not the cheapest option, but my anecdotal evidence tells me that the service can't be beat.
