    Some of the 72 boxes of flooring we purchased
    Michael Y.

    My wife and I were remodeling our new home. After months of research (brands, flooring types/designs, installation), my wife insisted that we get laminated wood that also comes in a FLUSH stair nose. This instantly narrowed our list of choices to just a few, good manufacturers: Quick Step and its parent, Mohawk. Apparently, flush stair-nose laminated wood is hard to find, and most floor sellers don't even know they exist. Best Floor was recommended to us by my manager who installed laminates himself. He raved about Shawn's knowledge, patience, and low price. Nearby Platinum Flooring was recommended by a friend for their low price. Before I go detail our experience with Best Floor, let me first share our shopping experience and provide some tips to help those who are shopping for floors themselves. During the entire process, we indicated to every vendor that we were going to install the laminated wood ourselves. We never installed flooring before. EXPERIENCE WITH ALL VENDORS We searched the entire strip of vendors on State College (and some others), looking for the colors and designs my wife and I would both be able to compromise on. The first step is to choose what color you want. In the initial weeks, we absolutely had no idea what we wanted. My wife and I were at odds with one another -- she wanted something very dark. I wanted something very light or something with "pop". We looked at a LOT of manufacturers and colors. To keep our 1-month-long hunt story short, we eventually found a sample from Mohawk. Nearby Belmont Flooring indicated that it provides the 5-in-1 molding that allows for flush stairs -- they were the only ones who said this was available. Naturally, we wanted to confirm with other vendors before placing any large orders, but were unable to do so. With ONLY Belmont claiming that the Mohawk we wanted came with flush stairs, we decided to go back to our initial choice: Quick Step. With Quick Step, we then spent a couple more weekends looking for the right color, and found (and 80% liked) the Modello UE1030 Roasted Coffee Oak design. We went back to our list of vendors to check for final pricing before we'd place our order. Belmont and Best Floor were our top choices, and we checked with Belmont first. To my surprise, our Belmont salesperson said, on our 5th visit, "Ah, you two! [Then turning to his associate] They just waste my time." I was a bit taken back by it -- I wasn't sure if he was joking or if he was half serious. I'll be writing my review on Belmont later to detail that experience. We shared that we were now in the final stage, got our pricing, and then headed over to Shawn at Best Floor to do the same. Shawn gave us a slightly lower price, and with that (and other factors -- see below), we went ahead and placed our order. EXPERIENCE WITH BEST FLOOR Shawn's prices were among the lowest of all vendors, but what we really liked about him was his patience and friendly demeanor, just like what my manager said. He made everything very easy, and we couldn't be any happier. Shawn always took the time to walk us through some of the selection processes, answered every question, and also gave us some installation tips. He was, surprisingly, the ONLY vendor who really spent the time to help us pick out colors close to what we were looking for. He never gave us fuss about our back-and-forth with colors and manufacturers. He seemed to understand that as rookies, we had difficulty in finding the board we both would like. The only minor complaint I have is that Shawn sometimes forgets what he said he'd check for us, but whenever we called to follow up, he'd immediately remember and take care of it right then. Granted, he probably forgot because we bombarded him with so many questions :) The shop is small when compared to his nearby competitors, and as such has a mom-and-pop store feel. They also have a 2nd store in Orange. Since our initial order, we went back to purchase more flooring. Like before, he was very patient and provided good guidance. FLOOR CHOICE Although we initially only liked (at about 80%) our Quick Step UE1030, now that they have been installed, we LOVE the colors at 100%. Our friends/coworkers agree, except for an elder relative of mine. TIPS - Floor samples: most vendors take a deposit. Ask in writing, that it's refundable. There are stories about shoppers not getting their money back. Shawn gave us the least trouble about taking samples home. Check the sample at home in day time and evening. Lighting changes how it looks in your home - Measure how much flooring you need. Add 7% as extra - Let your new wood sit in the rooms for 3 days to acclimate BEFORE installing - Installation: Yelp doesn't provide enough space to write about how to install, but we referenced manufacturer sites, YouTube videos, and importantly: flooring sellers. Some sellers were once installers, and their experience gave us some very good ideas

Large selection of products and knowledgeable associates asked about what I was looking for and what would work best for me. The manager came out to measure and discuss how the work would be done and go over possible additional charges based on my existing flooring. He provided a quote in a very timely manner and we scheduled the date! They assigned a two man team who showed up promptly on time each morning. The installers were amazing. They took such care in my home and were so respectful and efficient! They assisted with some installation questions I had and got right to work. They were so careful moving my furniture around and I was so touched that they made sure my bed area was cleared at the end of their upstairs workdays so I didn't have to sleep on the couch. They used plastic sheeting to mask off closet and bathroom contents to keep the dust down as much as possible due to the floor leveling process. They set up shop in my garage and at the end of each of the 5 days tidied the work spaces and swept up the garage very thoroughly. F and L..... thank you so much. I know I said it a lot but I really love the excellent job you did! I am so happy with the outcome. I love my floors and give OC Hardwood the highest praise possible!!! My neighbors and friends love the floors and I'm glad I grabbed a couple of business cards because they've been given away to interested parties! My two favorite comments.... What kind of wood is this? LVP!! This looks like House and Gardens TV! My previous cat had passed away November 2025 and I knew I wanted to have the flooring redone before adopting another. They finished on a Friday afternoon and I was able to adopt a rescue cat 2 days later. I do recommend boarding any pets as the work would be quite frightening to them. This was a big deal for me... I am extremely picky and felt such confidence in F and L as consummate professionals as the work progressed. Thank you OC Hardwood! You made my flooring dream come true!!

Working with Jan was the best part: accommodating, responsive, and genuinely trustworthy. The whole sales experience felt honest, with none of the pressure you get elsewhere. They did over 2,000 square feet of our home and the floors look incredible. When we noticed a couple of small spots in the kitchen, they came out immediately to fix it -- no hassle, no excuses. That's the kind of service that earns a customer for life. If you're shopping flooring companies, save yourself the runaround. Ask for Jan. We trusted Sterling completely and they delivered.

Both times, the communication was clear, the service was quick, and the process felt easy from start to finish. Very fair deal with many options. What really stands out, though, is Robin. After our wood plank flooring was completed, we had some issues with a leak, and this is where she truly went above and beyond. A lot of companies would have simply said, "That's not our issue," and moved on, but Robin did the opposite. She worked hand in hand with us, helped troubleshoot, delegated to the right people on her team, and made us feel like she was genuinely trying to solve the problem with us. Her responses were incredibly quick, even on her days off, and that level of care is rare. Sterling already earned our business with their quality work and efficiency, but Robin is the reason we will be customers for life. I can't be more grateful for the way she handled everything.

    While the process of replacing floors was pretty stressful for us, we were very happy with Caliber…read more Rick was very generous/patient with his time and after meeting him for our initial consultation, we felt very comfortable with his expertise and insistence on doing the job correctly. He answered all of our questions and even met us on a weekend early morning to open his shop for us to pick our our floor samples. The work done by his crew was well done- our floors look/feel great. His crew even helped put our big pieces of furniture back into our house after they finished (we have seen that some places only remove the furniture- putting it back isn't included in their fees.) They finished a day early, even. We found the pricing reasonable for the job, but it was the level of service and attention to detail that was the real clincher. We recommend Caliber most highly.

The finish on the floor was novice level work. Heavy tooling marks all over, smeared stain, splattered topcoat. That was my reason for the C-. Within a week many of the boards have detached and come up. I've also noticed: huge sections of the flooring were never fastened; the sanding is so bad that it's visibly lumpy in several areas; there are large gaps that were not filled and stained properly. And to top it off they had the highest quote of the bunch. The people working there are nice and pleasant, and very responsive. They offered to come back and redo it. But given the range and severity of problems I did not trust them to do further work. All around a complete waste of my time and money.

    First impression meeting with Rafi was good. Unfortunately it just went downhill from there. The…read morefirst team who did our floor and stairs seemed to be professional as well. We did feel 12 bags of self leveling concrete was excessive when it looked like it was only used on a few corners of the room in a job less than 900 sq feet. Unfortunately one of the stair nosing broke within a couple weeks of install. Rafi was responsive in redoing the stairs stating it was a manufacturing defect and that the new version is stronger. Unfortunately the second team quality of work was very poor. They left holes in our walls that were patched poorly with plaster. Worst of all the stairs were apparently nailed to the subfloor and after a few weeks they started to rise leaving little holes and nails protruding from the floor. A few of the stair noses are loose as well. At this point, Rafi became unresponsive to have the flooring fixed. We ended up getting some of our money back through our credit card after months went by but the majority of the payment was by check. Basically we will need to replace the stairs again on our own dime. Buyer beware! Lifetime warranty doesn't mean anything if the installer ghosts you.

(With the quote coming in $1k cheaper than the competitors). We were did not have a color in mind when we re-did our floors so his team was able to provide a number of options/materials that would fit into the quote that he provided. Once the material/color was chosen, the work was scheduled for the week after. On the day of the installation, Raymond showed up on time and finished the job in just one day. He worked non-stop, was very efficient and very clean. I highly recommend My Flooring guy to anyone looking for quick, high quality work. There were no hidden costs and Rafi was upfront about everything that was charged!
