    VM Flooring - Jack is making sure your floor is secured before delivery

    VM Flooring

    VM Flooring is truly a five-star, all-in-one flooring shop in the Bay Area. It was the first place…read moreI visited when I started shopping for flooring, and after speaking with Chad, I knew I would ultimately choose VM Flooring. I still visited other stores to do my due diligence, but no one came close in terms of pricing, customer service, flooring selection, or overall flexibility. Jack's team began work the day after providing a very transparent and reasonable estimate. Igar was also fantastic to work with. The demolition was completed in just one day, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate requests that were outside the original scope of work. I am extremely happy with the flooring I selected, and the craftsmanship truly shows in the details. The baseboard installation and painting, as well as the stair installation, were done exceptionally well. These finishing touches are what truly elevate the entire flooring project.

    Earlier this year, I needed help to replace the flooring in my kitchen towards the end of our…read morekitchen remodel. I thought I could DIY the whole job, but as I was finishing the demo of the old flooring I quickly realized that it was WAY beyond my abilities! I got an incredibly fast response from Jack, who was able to visit and give a detailed quote. He explained what work would be required, and how to handle the prep work to get the job done right. Anatoly did a thorough job leveling the floor, installing the new flooring and re-installing the trim board. I was impressed by the team's attention to detail while still finishing the job quickly. I'm so glad that I worked with VM Flooring - now I just wish I had worked with them from the start instead of trying to DIY at all!

    Liberty Floor Covering - Our Flooring and Carpet Showroom in Hayward just got Bigger.

    These guys don't need another 5 star review, but here it is…read more Jason helped us with quoting our carpet for our new home. He was amazing and answered all of our questions and addressed all our concerns! He made us feel at ease with all the options of carpeting. Rafael and his team did an amazing job at installing our carpet! They came back a couple of times after the initial install to fix issues we had found. Can't recommend Liberty enough!

    I HIGHLY recommend Liberty Floor Covering. If you want more details:…read more Some background: We needed to replace the old vinyl flooring in our bathrooms. My husband and I first went to a flooring store in Fremont (one of the "name" chains that advertises on TV). The employee was extremely nice and helpful, but she informed us that the owner "only installs big jobs." (We'd told her that two of our three bathrooms are very small, and the third isn't that big, either.) So, they could sell us flooring but not install it. We said, ok, no problem--please give us your list of recommended installers. To our surprise, they didn't have even one to recommend. As helpful as the employee had been (in terms of showing us samples and discussing different flooring types), I thought, "Why do we want to give our business to a place where the owner can't even be bothered to recommend an installer?" So, I went to Yelp, read the reviews of Liberty Floor Covering, and I'm so glad I did. I stopped by their showroom in Hayward, and Roger, the owner, was extremely friendly and welcoming. I told him right off the bat that this would not be a big job, but the way he treated me, you would have thought we wanted all of our house's flooring re-done. He told me that he, or Liberty's co-owner, insist on taking all measurements themselves before even giving an estimate, to ensure that they're done correctly. He also let me take a large book of floor samples home and said he would just pick it up later. (I'd already decided we'd almost certainly go with Liberty, just based on Roger's courtesy and professionalism.) All I can say is...WOW. We haven't even installed the new hardware yet, or repainted, and our bathrooms look almost brand-new. Pedro, the installer who did the job, obviously knows what he is doing and takes a lot of pride in his work. Roger had mentioned to me that other flooring businesses are always trying to hire his installers, and I don't blame them. Pedro, and I'm sure his other employees too, does stellar work. One of our bathrooms turned out to have some damage to the underlying floor, and Pedro took the extra time to do all repairs and make it right. No complaints here--we are grateful he put in the extra time and effort. I don't think you're going to get this caliber of work done by Lowe's or Home Depot. If we ever need more flooring installed, I will definitely be returning to Liberty Floor Covering. Thanks Roger and Pedro!

    Tile Experts installed a zellige backsplash for us and the whole process was really easy and…read morestraightforward! I sent dimensions and a site image and was able to get a quote without a site visit. Our installer was very detail oriented and discovered our wall was not completely flush, which meant that the tile at the top of the wall would be a slightly different width than the one at the bottom. We discussed different strategies for approaching this problem. The zellige we received was also highly variable in quality and color. I asked our installer to pick out the tile in the best condition since we had ordered 10-20% extras and were very happy with the results.

    We were looking to update our fireplace and entry way tile as a kick off to our next remodeling…read morephase - we were hoping to go from ugly brown tiles to a nicer marbled white herringbone tiles. My partner and I even made mock ups of the design we wanted to achieve. Noe was responsive over text when taking down our requirements, giving quotes, and estimating how much material we should purchase which we purchased on our own (though we might have over purchased our material by 20%, I'd much rather have extra than not enough!). Noe handled the tile and grout pick up when it was ready for installation day, and took care of the misc material purchases (finishing metal edge trim, tileset/cement, etc). Adrian and Luis are fantastic installers. Adrian's communication was really top notch (he kept us informed and updated often) and ran through options and recommended solutions when we encountered a bit of a snag with our subfloor and evened it out for us (we wanted to elongate and cut the corners of our rectangular entry way tile). Luis' tile work also really great. His cuts were clean, tiles were even/level, spacing of the grout lines were pretty even as well. I've had tile work done through a general contractor before (they had some rough cuts and some pretty bad tile lippage leading to uneven surfaces) - their quality is nothing compared to Luis' work, our entry way and fireplace with the herringbone pattern looks so good and it matched our mock ups very closely - they really brought our vision to reality! The three of them Noe, Adrian, and Luis really do live up to their company name as Tile Experts and they are very competitive with their pricing. You can check out the before and after photos (just ignore the ugly carpet in the pictures, we have not replaced it yet!) We are really happy and impressed with the work they did for us and would go back to them for any future tile work.

    I did carpet replacement through him a year ago. It turned out the carpet he booked through his own…read moresupplier was in such a poor quality that it starts shredding in months. I spend more than 10k on new carpet, but new one was even worse than our 20-year old carpet from original builder that was replaced. Learn a big lesson here. don't trust the small vender. There could be an ocean between the sample they show you and the quality of final product. Go to big name like Lowe's or HD for carpet with decent quality!

    I bought a house earlier this year and wanted to do some improvements before moving in. I had four…read morebedrooms where I wanted to replace the carpet with some luxury vinyl plank. The rest of our house already had some laminate wood and tile flooring which I wanted to keep. I was looking for flooring that would match the color of the laminate wood floors of our hallway and living room. Sal-Hai was recommended by a friend for flooring services. I reached out via Yelp and got a response from the owner, JP, pretty quickly. He came to San Mateo from Hayward to take a look around our house and then came back another day to bring over many samples to color match our floors. I found that to be more efficient than me going back and forth to stores like Floor and Decor and Home Depot to try and find a match myself. JP found a sample that was very close to our existing flooring so we went with that. It only took about four days for our flooring project to be finished. JP had two other workers assisting him. They ripped out all our carpet and put the flooring and baseboard in. Our master bedroom had some sloping in the floor so JP worked to level it out before putting the new flooring on top. I impressed by the speed at which our project was completed. It's been a few months and we are thoroughly enjoying our new floors! The flooring seems to be holding up well. I did notice a very minor bouncy area in our master bedroom where the floor was supposed to be leveled and told JP about it after we moved in. However I didn't get a response after I requested him to look at it. I decided we can live with it and it doesn't seem to be adversely affecting the function of our floor. The only slight con I have to mention is the logistics of scheduling our project. I had to postpone our floor installation due to delays with some other house projects (permits and inspection scheduling were at peak delays during the pandemic). I had to make many calls and send multiple emails and texts to JP before we could reschedule our project. I did appreciate that he was able to squeeze in our project in between some big commercial ones he had on his calendar. Overall I will still go back to Sal-Hai if I need future flooring services and am happy to refer him to friends! I thought the quality of work is pretty good and his rates are very reasonable for the Bay Area.
