Cracks after refinishing/repairs
Cindy H.

We chose this local business to install new hardwood flooring, as we were told in 2004 when we remodeled our home that it was the last time the original hardwood floors could be refinished (the wood planks get thinner with sanding). Thus, we were prepared to replace the floors. Jon visited our home to inspect, measure & give an estimate. On HIS RECOMMENDATION, EXPERTISE & ADVICE, we elected to have the floors repaired & refinished. He said the existing floors could be repaired & refinished one more time. We didn't feel overly comfortable with Jon, when we asked questions (especially since we were told prior that the floors couldn't be refinished again) his attitude came off as...I know what I'm doing, you don't. However, due to a neighbors recommendation & reviews, we still elected to go with LBFF's & Jon's recommendation of repairing/refinishing our existing floors. Martin repaired/refinished the floors in 4 days, they appeared to be beautiful. Within the first week we began to notice slats of wood that were supposed to have been REPLACED due to old termite damage, that were NOT replaced, they were varnished over it. My socks began to snag on wood slats that were not smooth etc. The wood filler between the slats began breaking away and leaving gaps that were NOT there before the refinishing. This type of damage is thru out the entire floor, not just a few areas. The floors are in worse condition now than before the refinishing. We called LBFF's, Jon came back out, his attitude was even worse on this date. He basically said the floors look fine, they will send Martin back out to repair the few termite spots that he should have replaced/repaired the first time. He stated they would NOT repair the cracks between the slats, "not their problem"because the floors are old and thin. We reminded him that it was on HIS ADVICE & EXPERTISE that we elected to repair/refinish the floors instead of putting down new flooring. Jon's demeanor & body language got to the point where we just wanted him out of our home. After numerous phone calls, we received a phone call from Jon yesterday, basically saying they would fix the few old termite damage spots that should have been replaced/repaired originally and that's it. He told my wife to stop yelling at him (she wasent), he said he felt we belittled him when he came to our home to view the damage to the floors. Really....we are two women in our 60's. As I said earlier, his demeanor escalated to the level that we asked him to leave our home without a resolution. The floors were repaired/refinished in October and this is still on-going, and they are falling apart more and more each day (wood filler crumbling out from between the slats). If you are female, ask to work with anyone other than Jon, it is obvious that he does NOT care to work with females (he knows more!). He wouldn't even look us in the eyes. We do NOT recommend this company at all. I will go further to say...Stay clear of Jon & this company especially if you are a female couple, take your money elsewhere in the LBC!

I selected this well regarded local company to refinish my hardwood floors last Fall. My floors were refinished in the early days of December 2023. The completed work is beautiful, and not the reason for the poor review. It was my kitchen floor that required refinishing. There were several high traffic areas in need of attention. The, directly adjacent, Dining Room did not need refinishing. I was hiring a professional to do this work. I don't really know anything about the process. It was my assumption that the finished floor would match with the current existing color, baseboards and connecting room. (Attached are photos illustrating the marked color differences.) I did bring the issue to the attention of the installer. There was never any discussion, or samples shown, of a choice of finishes &/or colors! I have had numerous conversations and emails with the owner regarding how to best remedy this situation. We had finally agreed that they would refinish/replace the baseboards, and that I would live with the color differences between the adjacent rooms. ....well, here we are 6 months later....nothing has been done! I get excuses about materials being back-ordered, etc., and no phone calls directed to me. Always, I must initiate. I can never recommend this company to anyone. I did interview 3 companies before choosing Family Flooring. I like to keep my dollars local. When you contract with them, you provide a credit card deposit. When their refinishing team completes the job, the office is notified and the balance is immediately charged. In the future, I will beware of this setup. Having final payment leverage is important in negotiating any discrepancy. I also had the option of contesting the charge, but honestly, I thought they would work this out amicably. UPDATE: The owner has contacted me. We have an installation scheduled for next week. I appreciate the quick response and effort to remedy the situation. FINAL UPDATE: the installation team arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and installed the new baseboards, that color match the refinished flooring. I have upgraded the stars because the quality of the work was very good. It was the communication (rather lack of it) breakdown and long delay in providing agreed resolution that resulted in a one star review. I suggest that all prospective wood floor refinishing customers be shown a sample board of available finishes to select from.

I ordered new Cali Bamboo flooring from Family Floors for my home remodeling project. It was agreed the flooring would be installed in two phases. Family Floors agreed to hold my flooring for the second phase until two bathrooms were finished. The first phase went well. I was very happy with the new flooring. The second phase was delayed when my contractor abandoned after eight months what was supposed to be a four-week bathroom remodel, and I had to find a new contractor to finish the bathrooms. Family Floors was advised of my problem with the contractor and told me the delay was no problem. A new contractor completed the project, and a date was set for installing the second half of the flooring, but there was one problem. Family Floors lost my flooring for the second phase. Their proposed solution was for me to pay for the lost material and purchase replacement material, which had gone up in price since my initial purchase! I rejected this solution for obvious reasons. Then they offered to sell me the replacement material at dealer cost, but I would still had to pay for the flooring they lost. I rejected this solution as well. After much arguing, I agreed to pay them $500 for "storing" the flooring they had lost, and Family Floors would replace the lost material at their cost. The replacement flooring was delivered to my house. The installers put down the first two planks, and it was immediately obvious that the new flooring did not match what had been installed earlier. I called Family Floors and told them the new flooring was unacceptable and that they should not, under any circumstances, charge my card! Justin Cisco took umbrage at the suggestion that Family Floors would charge me for a project that was not complete. He told me Family Floors in not that kind of company, then Family Floors charged the flooring to a credit card I had not authorized. I guess they are that kind of company. Jay Glatman, the owner Family Floors, insists that the differences in the two floorings--the original material is gray, stressed, and flat in finish; the replacement material is brown, uniform in texture with a glossy finish--were a result of normal variations in product manufacture. I maintain they are more properly ascribed to a lack of proper quality control at Cali Bamboo's Chinese manufacturing plant. (You be the judge. See the photo below.). Family Floors made no effort to locate compatible material. I have 18 boxes of mismatched flooring material sitting in my living room that Family Floors refuses to take back. I will be filing a complaint with the contractors board, and I have consulted with an attorney. Bottom line: Don't buy anything from Family Floors.

I had just had Family Floors install LVP through the Costco program and it was w wonderful experience. The installers Gil and Gerardo were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and never did I question what they were doing. They were patient with all of the questions that I asked. I am very happy with my floors thus far. They were installed Feb 16, 2022. I believe it was Christina that called everyday to check on how satisfied I was. This speaks volume, in the day of a lack of customer service.

Like paint you can think something will look good and you'll never know until it's installed. I am glad I trusted James's instinct. His two staff floor installers were also some of the best I've seen. Prior to James I had a carpet installer at another place and the carpet ended up having rolls in it 1-2 years later. AND.. I also had a kitchen remodel where the flooring people allowed water to seep in and the floor was damaged a year later (but it was too late by then and I could not get it replaced). These are OTHER experiences I am comparing to so you understand HOW GOOD JAMES IS. To-date, the carpet on my stair well is still flawless (this is now years later). And the the luxury vinyl plank James recommended are still my favorite in both color and quality. There have been zero issues. They were installed in 2020 and now in 2026 they're still phenomenal (sorry for the late review). We did the LVP flooring in our master bedroom, closet and bathroom. Thank you James!

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.
