    Josh, Charlie, Kyle and team surpassed my expectations! The team did work for our association in our buiding in downtown San Diego. We opted for an LVP flooring. From my first call with Josh, to the estimate with Charlie, then with Kyle and his team who showed up to do the work, they were all very reliable, courteous, and did amazing work. The floors are beautiful and they definitely went above and beyond with what a typical installer would do and at a very competitive price. I would recommend 1st Choice Flooring to everyone who wants a job well done with a reliable crew. Thank you for a great experience 1st Choice!

    It is rare for me to leave reviews, but Josh, Kyle, and the rest of the First Choice Flooring team are excellent - both in personalization and work product. After going through about 5 other flooring companies who gave me high estimates, I was candid with Josh and he was extremely understanding and happy to work with me. The First Choice team was also excellent in answering all of my questions leading up to the project, as well as handling the delay we encountered with sourcing materials running up to my move in date. As for the work product, I was extremely impressed. His team was also kind enough to fix one stair that a previous installer (on already installed flooring) did not do properly - no questions asked. I'll let the before/after photos speak for themselves. Thank you Josh, Kyle, and all!

    Same pattern leading into itself

    I waited a long time to post this review because I've had really mixed feelings. But the more I live with the flooring the more unhappy I am as I notice more and more. We have a 1200sqft condo and they removed tile floors and carpet, leveled floors (mostly) and installed LVP from a manufacturer they recommended. We had all the work done before we moved in and they were flexible and helpful in scheduling. Once work started, thankfully I decided to drop in to check on the install when I did because there were two workers there that I had never spoken to, neither of the project managers I had spoken to, and they were installing without the underlayment. Then they were going to install the underlayment incorrectly, and I had to pull up a YouTube video to show them how the underlayment was supposed to be installed. (There was also a language barrier as I don't speak Spanish and neither of them spoke English). We did get the project manager on the phone and he came out and got things going the correct way. The other manager who was supposed to be there was just MIA, clearly planned since he got the key to these other guys. They then got the install done and did a really nice job on the baseboard. After they left I noticed they left their pencil markings for cuts all over the floor so I had to go around and clean all those off. This is my first time ever having flooring done, so other than the pencil markings I gave a broad look around and signed off. I didn't know what to look for until now that I've been living in it. All over the house, they put exact patterns from the LVP right next to each other or 1 board away. The longer I'm living with it, and see it right in the middle of our living room, it drives me nuts. I'll need to get some rugs or something, but the more I read about floor install, this seems to be a basic "watch out" that should be part of the process, so I'm really disappointed that this is what we ended up with.

    I had an excellent experience working with Josh, Kyle and the team at 1st Choice Flooring. I worked with them to install luxury vinyl flooring throughout my 1700 square foot home, as well as install a backsplash in the kitchen. I received about 5 different quotes for the flooring project, and Josh worked with me on pricing making them one of the most competitive quotes I received. The other reason I decided to move forward with them is because Josh made comments and observations during the walk-through that none of the other contractors commented on -- little details I didn't even think about like baseboards in the stairs, needing to cut doors, how to handle the floor outlets, and some other unique aspects of the installation. From the time I signed their estimate to the time of completion, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Josh and Kyle were very professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. They responded to any questions and concerns I had and they've been responsive even after the project is finished. Josh even gave me his contact for a welder that's been able to help me update my railings who has also been great to work with. I would give them 5/5 stars and happily refer them to anyone looking to have their flooring installed.

    Josh and team did a great job installing Hi end LVP and baseboards in my townhome, based in Escala. Josh did a great job communicating and offering ideas to help decide on a product that I needed for sound barrier for unit below. Quality installation, efficient and competitively priced as well as kept the schedule. They cleaned and fixed all items. Fantastic job with the stairs and custom work.

    Matching with old floors

    First choice flooring did a small job for me. They had to replace the flooring in just one room. I liked the fact that they did not think a small job was not worth their time. The were able to find floors that matched my existing floors. More importantly they were able to apply a gloss finish since the wood planks they were able to source has matte finish. This shows that they are able to tailor their work to meet the needs of the customer. Install was very smooth. I pointed out a few things I like fixed after they were done and they came out to take care of that. One other thing I want to calm out: there was a spot in another part of the home that I wanted them to sand and refinish. Albeit small, they did not nickel and dime me. They were happy to just take care of it. The crew was very respectful. I would hire them again if there is a need.

    Great job on my flooring install. The whole crew was timely, professional and detail oriented. Highly recommend.

    They did a wonderful job with the installation of vinyl floor planking. A thirty-four-year-old carpet was ripped out. and replaced with quality flooring at a great price.

    We have a floor with engineered wood by Lauzon. We've been very happy with it. We would like to install some in other rooms. Would you use a Lauzon product and install it?

    It depends on the availability of the material, if you are looking for the same collection and color by Lauzon and we can get it, we will absolutely install it.

    Does this business offer financing?

    Sorry! We don’t offer Financing at the moment!

They don't do the installation themselves but they gave us a good recommendation for a 3rd party contractor to install and they also did very well.

What immediately stood out about Flooring Creations was how consistently strong their reviews were -- and after working with them, I get why. Gus Sr. and Gus Jr. were patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to walk me through different plank options and helped me land on something that fit my budget, needs, and concerns. The process felt collaborative which I really appreciated. The final result looks fantastic. The color, plank size, baseboards, and overall layout work beautifully in the space. The installation was quick and very well done. The installer they recommended and his crew were meticulous -- especially on the stairs, which turned out great. You can tell they paid attention to details like plank layout and variation so there's no obvious repetition. The crew was respectful of the property, communication was solid throughout, and questions were always answered promptly. Overall, this was a very positive experience and I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out. I'd absolutely recommend Flooring Creations.

Let me preface this with some background - I bought a house a few years ago and I started noticing uneven floors in the kitchen. This was probably due to the original installers installing the island on top of the flooring, and not having enough space in btwn the flooring to breathe / bad installation. While looking for quotes, we did a lot of research beforehand so we could be prepared and understand what needed to be done so we wouldn't be upcharged. When we met Scott he was very friendly, knowledgeable with all of our questions, and eager to work with us. I feel like not a lot of contractors were as helpful and took us seriously so we were really excited to work with Scott. His prices were fair and we really appreciated him being flexible and working with our budget too. Fast forward to the installation, everything was great and the floors turned out beautiful! Abraham and his team were very professional, kind, and if we had any issues they were quick and open to fixing them. They were always on time and the flooring installation was pretty quick and painless (just be mindful that with this type of work the house will get dusty so be prepared to clean afterwards). They did the self leveling, added moisture barrier and installed our floors. We also asked them to redo our stairs / baseboards too so everything would match. Our stairs had some exposed edges that made it kind of difficult to rework and Abraham was able to figure out a nice way to make them look nice. A year later, we had a pipe leak / foundation issues and we reached out to Scott again to help provide a quote for our insurance since they were damaged. Scott was always one phone call away whenever we needed him to answer questions or stop by to provide quotes. We ended up working with him one more time because we trusted his team to redo our floors. Due to the nature of these unfortunate events, there were a lot of issues going back and forth with insurance, other contractors, and Scott was probably the most consistent one who we knew was on our side. He was always helpful, provided sound advice, and was just a great person to work with. I truly felt like he had our best interest and was working to help us fix our issues instead of just being a salesman and getting the most he could from us. He was helping us without a guarantee we would work with him because of all the insurance obstacles. It's really difficult to find people like that and I'm truly grateful for Scott and his team! The new floors turned out great! Since we only fixed part of our floors, I just want to mention that our original floors still look great no issues with them so far after a year!

When I drove by the floor store one day I thought I'd pop in on the off chance they might have something I liked. I was initially worried their pricing wouldn't be competitive but i was surprised that their pricing was reasonable and the customer service was fantastic. They sent a manager out to measure and then ordered the product promptly and installed. I selected a challenging pattern (grid) and was glad they I was working with this store because you can tell they are used to more challenging jobs and have a commitment to excellence and attention to detail. Their installer was great and all in all I am so thrilled with how the project turned out. They also stock all kinds of wood and laminate and vinyl! If you have a floor project coming up and want a more personal approach highly recommend you check them out.

I should have asked her first, however I did have the advantage of finding and bringing home 25+ flooring samples before visiting Floor Store and Design-Point Loma. Then my designer and I met and chose the best flooring for my home.... It was not from Floor Store and Design. However Josh said he could get it for me... and he could get it at a better price. He did just that. He even delivered a sample to my home so we could compare to the sample I had picked up elsewhere... and Floor Store and Design price was lower! What surprised me about working with Josh and Door Store and Design? I thought Josh was a salesman.. He was much more than that. He was hands on in working out details of installation. One example: I found a baseboard I liked at another place, and Josh was able to order that for me at same price as offerings at his store. He also made a personal visit at end of work to check details before I made the final payment. I also had new doors installed, and Josh coordinated work with the door contractor for smoothest completion of floors, doors and baseboards installation. It was important to me to work with a full service floor store to ensure best results. The installation team Josh sent was professional, efficient, and did a great job! Floor installer Jonathon and team were great ... always showing up on time, cleaning as they went, and were friendly and easy to have around. Most important.. they were perfectionists in their work. I learned that Jonathon had learned the trade from his father and is now working with/training his brothers. Josh's installers obviously take great pride in their work and Josh also takes great pride in managing Floor Store and Decor-Point Loma.
