Annie, the "estimator" came to my house to look at the tile that was cracking and measure the area for tile and carpet. She told me that my tile was cracking because the tile was installed incorrectly over the radiant heating. Long story short... they showed up, replaced the carpet and tile, removed my radiant heating, and cut off the wiring for the radiant heating to the wall without my permission. They failed to include a new radiant heating in the bid, and somehow that was my fault... I was specifically told after the fact that Annie, the "Tahoe SPECIALTY FLOORING" estimator wouldn't have known enough to have a conversation about radiant heating, so I must have made the whole thing up. They offered me $200 off of my $7,500+ bill. So I'm stuck with a large bill, a squeeky tile floor, and no radiant heating. I wish I would have just left the cracking tile and warm floor. Next time, I will be bringing a bay area contractor there that I can trust. I should have trusted all of the other bad reviews of this company. You are not specialists. You are con artists.

Our floors turned out great, but it was kind of a mixed bag of an experience…read more THE GOOD: The flooring selection process: Cory was friendly and helpful and I got what I needed at the show room in under 30 mins. The measure: the turnaround time between my show room visit and the in-home measure was extremely fast. Jason also sent us the quote really quickly. The installation: we got both carpet and hard flooring. Brian (hard floors) gets a 5 star. Work quality was amazing, and he meticulously cleaned up after himself every day so there wasn't a speckle of dust left behind the whole time he was here. He got the work done faster than anticipated and instead of cutting out early every day, he just kept going. Steve (carpet) was also great. He found a defect in our carpet and could've taken the easy route and installed it without saying anything, but he made sure we knew about it and had a say in the matter. Once the new carpet arrived, he got the work done really quickly. THE NOT-SO-GOOD: The scheduling: we were scheduled for demolition the day after thanksgiving but had a no-call no-show. We couldn't get that resolved for a few days because they were closed longer than usual due to the holiday. It would've helped if someone called to confirm the appointment before everyone went out of office. No explanation was given, so no idea what happened. The demolition: Jason rescheduled the demo asap, but the crew didn't vacuum or do any meaningful cleanup. In fact, the installers were surprised at the mess they left behind. Also, we were supposed to paint our floors with Kilz in between the demo and installation but the demo guys already put down carpet tacks, so we had to spend time removing those ourselves so that we can paint. There were lots of loose nails and debris on the floor from the demo so it was not an easy job. The lack of attention to details caused some non-value-add work for everyone. The flooring: it doesn't seem like Full Circle does a QA check on their materials before sending it out to the work site. We were surprised that no one caught the defect in our carpet until Steve was about to install it. This caused a delay in our timeline, which is a pretty big inconvenience when you have to temporarily vacate your home to accommodate the demo/installation. We had other contractors lined up, which also had to be rescheduled. Also, the spare nosing they ordered for Brian was broken. Thankfully, he was meticulous enough that he didn't need them, but there was no margin for error. Imagine the added delay if that wasn't the case... In the end, our floors did end up looking really great so Full Circle gets a 4 star. The hassle we experienced might cause us to consider other contractors in the future, though.

Their tradesmen are top notch, highly skilled and very kind (as are the owners and sales staff). Their scheduling and completion of the jobs were just as they said they would be. By the way, during installation, we had a few custom requests which they accommodated generously - charging only cost (likely less) for the changes we made. They were more than fair. It was obvious they wanted the best for us, and were willing and able to make it happen. We honestly could not ask for more, nor could we be happier with the outcome at both locations. Our sincere thanks, Tahoe Specialty! Our floors look fantastic! We are grateful for your knowledge, skills and kindness. Tahoe Specialty Flooring & Window Design is our #1 flooring company for many reasons. We will hire them again and again - and highly recommend them to others. Fantastic company, wonderful people!

John & Stephanie took me through the entire project with such professionalism & care, I feel truly lucky to have found them. I was going to do the roof & the deck but John told me that the roof didn't need to be completely re-done and only 1 of my 2 decks needed work. He could have just "sold" me the new roof & both decks but was honest in his evaluation of my property. His integrity is beyond reproach. I ended up replacing only my top deck and ended up doing 2 bathrooms instead (along with replacing the necessary tiles on my roof). Since I am in a HOA, John worked with the association to get the proper decking & color to comply with their guidelines. It was seamless. He replaced the top deck completely and secured everything on the 2nd deck. He made it safe & sound and good for years to come. I took 2 bathrooms down to the studs. Thank goodness I did since dry rot was found. John kept me up to date and let me know of any hiccups. As others have mentioned, he helped me with suggestions that ranged from where to look for tile, toilets, etc to helping me with suggestions for the bathrooms. He was patient when I would change my mind on things (i.e. I decided on one color for the bathrooms but it looked just awful once it was on the walls so I picked out a new color and they repainted them for me). The work of his team is extraordinary! I had wainscoting put on the walls - the tile "flows" and the gentleman who installed it is a true artist. They laid plastic on all the carpets to avoid dirt and grime to take care of the rest of the house. As I was doing this, unfortunately I had 2 floods due to the snow from this past season. He discovered it one morning and instantly went into action to drain the water from the house, find where it was coming from & got to work fixing the problem (draining the water, opening the walls, putting industrial fans in the rooms). They were both insurance issues and Holm stepped up and helped me with that too! Talking to the adjuster, getting me separate invoices for the work, etc. This unexpected fiasco could have been a nightmare!! But John came to my rescue and stepped up to help. It was completely unexpected and not in the scope of work that I had contracted with them but he had my back and I can't begin to tell you how much his efforts, help & kindness saved the day. They are busy! I did have to wait "my turn" and that took about 4 months but well worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a reason they have a waiting list, their work is beyond reproach! They are up front with their pricing. Nothing is ambiguous - no hidden fees. They will bend over backwards to help their client. I feel so lucky to have come across them. I will definitely be using them again for any future projects. I can't thank John & Stephanie enough - incredible people, phenomenal work & an A+ company! Incline is lucky to have you guys.

Sowing Basil offers a full line of flooring, including hardwood floors, carpet, laminate, vinyl and tile. Plus, check out all the window covering options -- custom draperies, cornice boxes, roman shades, and everything made by Hunter Douglas. I mean any kind of blind, shade or shutter you can imagine. And if that's not enough, they also specialize in bed linens, upholstery recovering and decorative pillows. Cristlyn Rousseau, the owner and chief designer is very creative and responsive. She really listens to find out what look you'd like, and she herself does a lot of the handiwork. She can create the full design environment for your home, and you know you'll get a look that's personalized just for you. I was really amazed with her handmade window cornice boxes. I couldn't believe she made them herself! Plus, unlike going to a store somewhere, she's there every step of the way to make sure the end product is functional, beautiful and free of any defects. read more

Cristlyn did wood flooring in my entire house. When the flooring company sent the wrong flooring, Cristlyn was able to get the correct product resent within 24 hours so my installation could start on-time. She really went above and beyond to keep me informed about what was going on. On top of that, she recommended a special adhesive and underlay that abated sound from my second floor.
