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.

I was keen on working with a local-run business to replace our stone tiling with luxury vinyl…read moreflooring. I was absolutely clear with FCI that any change orders or deviation from the original quote had to be as limited as possible (less than 5-10%) and only for unforeseen circumstances. So I was not happy when, after demolition, we were asked for an $800 change order (~20% of the original price). A major part was undercutting the fireplace, which had already been discussed and wasn't unforeseen. On my end, I should have ensured it was an explicit line item rather than relying on verbal confirmation. That said, the installers -- Uriel, Danny and Julio -- did a fabulous job despite not being told in advance by the owner that it was a stone tile demolition. It was a tough job. We love our new floors and are happy with the installation, but better communication and transparency would have made this an even better deal!

She came by to do an in-depth walk through, took appropriate measurements, and showed me all their options in different price points. Her and her husband are locals and started this company together. I love supporting local businesses. Speaking of locals, I also needed grout work which is outside the scope of their work, but Ashley was able to refer me to my new grout guy (shout out Mystic Dave!). Estimate is done through a software they're developing with another tech company, which is pretty new but unique? Payment was straight forward through a link (cheaper if you pay in cash / ACH). You pay 30% deposit and the rest afterwards. They are a bit pricer but reasonable for the quality of work done. They send out a team of 2 for my project. There were a couple disconnects in terms of the details communicated to the field team, like the amount of padding needed and the edges of my stairs that needed to be folded and stapled but it wasn't anything this team couldn't figure out. I am an opinionated client that expects quality, precision, and communication. All of which are points that Floor Coverings delivered. Thank you and I look forward to our next project together.

Ultimately I requested a quote from Dominguez Carpet to re-stretch my carpet that had started to bunch up and agreed to perform the service on mid-day Friday. I ended up taking time off work because I needed to get this done asap. I show up early because I wanted to make sure I was on time (mind you I live 50 miles away now). 20 minutes had passed and no one called me. So I called them and asked what their ETA was and they said that they'd call their worker and see. I had gotten a call back 10 minutes later telling me that they'd gotten confused and thought it was for Saturday, even though clearly in our messages he said he'd see me there on Friday. At that point I was upset and told him that this just needed to be done. We agreed that he'd come the next day at 7 am and prove me a $40 discount due to the troubles. Fast forward I show up at 6:15 am after driving an hour to beat traffic and they text me at 6:30 that they won't be there. As you can imagine I was upset and told them that this isn't the way you run a business. For all the people that are thinking about using this company. DON'T do it. I'll save you the trouble and tell you that they're unreliable and don't deserve your business.
