    Gashes in the neighboring kitchen linoleum from the sanding
    Jonathan W.

    Highlights: canceled two hours before start and couldn't reschedule until 2 weeks later, dropped in to find the key in the lock and the door unlocked with no-one around, came back to rough floors after choosing the "extra protection" two layers of Swedish finish and attempted to up-charge us $850 for an additional layer, 44 calls to Modern Flooring to work through this with 80% going straight to voicemail. The details: So here we are, refinishing existing oak hardwood floors in a home with multiple kids and a big dog. Swedish finish makes sense for the additional durability, and with quotes for either one layer or two, we opt for the second layer for "extra protection". Having a baby in the house, we planned a vacation after the refinish project so that the house would have plenty of time to set and air out. We moved all the furniture, arranged a place for the pets to stay, and awaited the big day... Two hours before the scheduled 9am start, we get a call that the installer had a family emergency and wouldn't show. We added a couple days buffer before vacation... but they weren't able to schedule someone until 2 weeks later, after our planned vacation. We considered other companies at this point, but everyone was booked at least a month out, so we were stuck with Modern Flooring. Round two... this time we get a call an hour before the 9am start, saying they needed to drive to Tacoma to pick up materials and wouldn't be there before noon. The car is all packed up, so we leave a key. I asked for the installers to give me a call when they arrive, but that never happened. Hearing nothing, I drove by the house the next afternoon to check it out. I find the door unlocked with the spare key in the door and no one around. I also find an empty trash bag in the front, sawdust around the outside of the house, and trash from their lunch around the house. But at least it was done... A few days later it is good enough to walk on. Expect the floor is very rough, with wood fibers poking through. There are scratches under the finish in several places, and there were two new gashes in the neighboring kitchen linoleum from the sanding. They also quoted us from three new drop-in vents, and those were never installed. So I asked Modern Flooring to speak to a supervisor, and to have an inspector come out and look at the house. Silence. Until I get a call from the installer that they can get someone to put on a third layer for an addition $850 (costs more as a rush job). I signed for it because we were tired of being in limbo. Round three... These installers (different team) were actually really good. They ironically showed up 2 hours early. But they described the process well, taped off edges well, and the finished product was the nice smooth floors that we anticipated. They put a water-based layer instead of the Swedish layer we were quoted, but we already had the nice Swedish color, and the water layer actually trapped in the fumes from the Swedish finish. They also commented that the prior installers probably didn't buff well between layers. Then came the money... Modern Flooring shamelessly asked for the full amount. I refused to pay the $850 as the first job should have been adequate, given that we were chose the extra layer. They said I signed a contract for the third layer, so I told them to take the $850 from the first job which was done extremely poorly. They countered with a $500 discount. I refused. Finally, they said they would remove the $850 if I paid in full that day. Done. Haggling over such a terrible job - they should be ashamed.

    This was our first big home project and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! We had two rooms with carpet that needed to go and be replaced with laminate to match the rest of the house. Out of all the quotes I received Modern Flooring Services has the best price and listened to our request and even offered advice. The scheduling and installment team were amazing as well. Extremely polite, always on time, and kept us updated with any changes even after business hours. We ran into an issue with the first flooring material defect (which came damaged and was not their fault) and not only did they apologize several times but went out of their way to check every local store for stock and even helped to find an alternative choice the same day. Demo and installation was a breeze and even helped with moving furniture back into place. Thank you guys once again for everything

    Floor before

    We needed to install a tile backsplash in our kitchen and were referred to Modern Flooring Services by Installation Made Easy. They got back to me very quickly and sent Tim to do the measurements that same week. After he measured for the backsplash, I asked him if he'd be willing to add an additional service to the quote-repair to the floor transitions that we installed incorrectly when we put in our floors. He was happy to ask them to quote that as well, which was a huge relief for us. We accepted the quote for both services and received a call to schedule the installation for later in the month. We were impressed that they were able to get an installer to our house within 3-4 weeks of our original request, because all the contractors in our area have been insanely booked up. They sent Pablo to do the backsplash installation--he was extremely knowledgable and professional, and even made suggestions for the best style to install and places to start and end the subway tile which we were totally lost on. His tile work was stellar and it only took him a day and a half to complete. We are so happy with the final product. We did have a small communication problem with the installation manager. We hadn't been advised in advance who would be doing the flooring repair portion of the work, and because we had several other projects ongoing, we needed a heads up. It took me a full week to get confirmation Pablo would be coming back the following Monday to do the floor repair as well. That was the only issue, and I considered the whole process to be relatively painless. The floor repair also went extremely well--I honestly thought we had screwed it up beyond repair, but Pablo somehow brought it back to life. Pure wizardry. We are so grateful that Pablo and Modern Flooring Services were able to help us with these projects. Thank you!

    New floor!

    Affordable price, responsive customer service! The workers are super efficient and professional. We are very happy with the result! The new flooring is a million times better than our old shitty carpet. Thank you for the great work!!

    My new tiled laundry floor.

    I recently hired Modern Flooring to put tile in my laundry room. They were professional and fast. Sergei was in charge of my job. He was friendly, listened to my small adjustments and did a great job. I'm very happy with my new tiled floor. Please use Modern Flooring you will be happy with the results.

    New engineered maple flooring.
    Daniel C.

    I used Modern Flooring Services for my recent home gym installation. I wanted to replace the old carpet in a bedroom to match it with the engineered maple in the hallway. The installer did an excellent job. They connected the existing wood floor in the hallway to the new one. The transition from the hallway to the room is seamless. You can only tell the new and old flooring apart by the age difference of the material. I'm sure this will blend better with time as the maple begins to yellow like the rest of the house. The installer removed and reused my baseboards as requested. All I had to do was run a bead of silicon sealer and paint the trim. They even reinstalled my closet door mounting plates in the same spot they were removed from. I'm really glad I didn't try to make this a DIY project. I would use Modern Flooring Services again.

    New floor

    Modern Flooring did a very nice job. The installers worked a very long day to complete my flooring install and it looks great! Very happy

    one of dozens of chips/gouges in the brand new floor

    Hardwood Floor install. no showed/no called on day one. Arrived the following week and set up everything inside. Table saw and miter saw were set up in the dining room, all boards were cut IN THE HOUSE. Sawdust everywhere, including all in the HVAC system. Modern Floors ended up doing the very worst job, including a register that was installed 2-3 inches off center to the vent. The installers used regular hammers instead of mallets which created dozens of split ends and hammer marks -- which in turn caused the wood to splinter (I got a nasty splinter in my finger just touching it, see pic). The installers busted the water line to the fridge and it leaked for several days underneath the new floor (see pic). They used my hand towel to stuff the toilet drain. They ruined my carpet with adhesive glue/caulking. The installers said they ran out of wood and couldn't finish the job unless I purchased more materials (come to find out the remaining 7 boxes wood was 'accidentally' left at the supplier's warehouse). They never came back to finish the job correctly. Couldn't get a call back from the job foreman for 2-3 days. Horrible customer service, and simply ghosted me for days. The owner and other leadership of this company (family owned and operated) provided misleading information on every single piece of communication regarding insurance information, liability, refunds, etc. If you enjoy getting ripped off and hiring help from people who don't know how to do the job correctly, then this company is perfect for you! EDIT: in response to the owner's comments, I uploaded pics of saw dust on window sills, on picture frames and shelving, and even in the pantry all over the food. This is not 'industry standard,' this is simply an insult to someone's intelligence. Besides, you sent a different installer to supposedly clean the work area and my pictures are after he left. No one from Modern cleaned anything or did anything they said they would do. Your installers didn't replace anything regarding the water damage on the new floors, my pictures are evidence of this fact. Instead of offering a refund, you demanded me to sign a binding contract saying I couldn't write any reviews online or you would sue me at $5,000 each instance. All that jazz in your response is ridiculous, as a picture paints a thousand words. If you want happy customers, respond to really bad situations immediately (instead of days later) and stop subcontracting with people that don't know what they are doing. I will remove this review if you do the right thing, Best of luck to you Maksim.

    Beer can found in our trash from installer
    Natasha B.

    Please bear with me, as this is lengthy but necessary. This company was actually contracted through LL Flooring when we purchased our flooring material. It was really hard to get a hold of someone when you call their office. On the first day the job was scheduled, they did not show up. After a couple days, we were told there was a scheduling issue which we overlooked. Then when the tile installer arrived, they took a few days and claimed the job was complete. You can see the jagged tile edges and baseboard holes in the photos. Then we found all of the demo trash and the beer cans that the installer left behind in our backyard. Another installer came to install our hardwood. After two weeks, the hardwood buckled and lifted off the base. We had a separate inspector come that stated it was not installed correctly. After a few months of back and forth, with Modern Flooring and LL flooring's corporate office in Virginia, the job is complete. It took 6 months from when they first stepped into our house to the end. Turns out Modern Flooring is a contractor that hires subcontractors. It was a traumatic experience.

    Hey Modern, what is the best way to peep laminate flooring after it was installed? Is there special products that you use? What would be a good hardware store to get that from? Thank you.

    Hi! Thank you for the question! The best way to clean laminate flooring is with a dry mop. Like a Swiffer or other. We don't recommend damp mopping and never steam mopping laminate flooring.… Read more

They are family-run business (Serhii, his brother and family members do all the work), Serhii is a great communicator and he responded to my detailed questions in writing very clearly while some other contractors don't care to spend that time/effort. Their pricing is also pretty fair. During the project they worked hard and kept the schedule as promised. During the process some unanticipated issues came up and they showed flexibility and willingness to change the scope of the project and schedule accordingly. They are detail oriented. After we had them reinstall all baseboards there was one place we were not quite happy, they came back and fixed it. The end result was beautiful and it had been a great experience working with Serhii and his family crew! Northwest Flooring is definitely at the top of my list for any of our future hardwood flooring needs!

We wanted the floors revived and refinished before we moved in, and Vlad and his brothers were communicative, transparent, quick, and professional. Our project was split into multiple steps (because of us, not them) and they graciously planned around us and came back multiple times throughout the project. They even gave us the suggestion of starting the floors, and then coming back to finish them after we finished painting walls because of dust, debris, etc., to make sure we were happiest with the end result. When we had questions or any concerns, they were quick to call, give tips, and come back to assess or change something based on our preferences. They even gave us some of the product they used so we could match our baseboards and fill them the way they suggested. I would highly recommend them for any flooring project.

Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that their white grout can have a tendency to turn yellow over time. I also later learned that many professional tile installers refuse to use Laticrete white epoxy grout because of this issue. Because epoxy grout cures as hard as cement, the problem was extremely difficult to fix. To make matters worse, the contractor who originally installed it refused to fix the problem. I spoke with several professionals and was told that the only options were either to remove and replace all of the tile or use a grinder to remove the yellowed grout, which could chip and damage the marble. After doing extensive research, including using ChatGPT, Sir Grout was recommended as the best company for the job. There was only one person at Sir Grout who had both the experience to remove Laticrete epoxy grout and the willingness to take on such a challenging project. His name is David, and he is awesome. Not a single tile was damaged during the process, and he used a different manufacturer's white grout that will not turn yellow. Sir Grout also provides a one-year written guarantee on the grout work. In addition, the white tile itself had begun to show yellow staining, and Sir Grout was able to remove almost all of those stains as well. Needless to say, I will be using Sir Grout enthusiastically for any and all future projects involving tile or grout. "$8,844.00 is paid to Sir Grout Seattle, LLC.
