My small gym was in desperate need of a new carpet, and after a terrible experience with another supplier, Richard was a breath of fresh air. He came personally to my studio and spent a lot of time explaining my options, and was clearly very concerned with doing the best job possible. He was very reasonably priced, and he came with his crew on installation day to make sure everything was done according to plan. My old carpet was stuck to vinyl tiles, which required a lot of work to pull up and then to repair the floor before installing the new carpet, and Richard reassured me that the job they committed to would get done no matter what. They did it in a really reasonable amount of time, and the result made me and my clients very happy. Richard is very honest and an excellent communicator. Thank you, Richard!! read more

Great price, amazing quality! My parents contacted Richard for new carpet in their unit and they are so happy with the quality and work Floor King provided! Richard is flexible, helpful, and provided the best price out of many shops my mom contacted (trust me, my mom loves to find good deals) :D Fernando came to install the new carpet and he and his team did an amazing job: they came on time, wore masks, are detailed with their work, have friendly attitude, and are skilled in what they do! The carpet quality looks and feels great~ Overall, we are very satisfied with their service! *I am writing review on my mom's behalf since she doesn't have Yelp account but really wants to give 5 stars read more

Floor King - Clean and soft, perfect edge between carpet and tiles! - Flooring Near Me - El Monte, California

Richard was very helpful in educating me on my flooring options. The flooring sample I initially chose ended up not looking as good with the natural light of my house. Richard immediately got what I was looking for and suggested another flooring that we ended up installing. Great communication throughout the entire process. We also lucked out because the flooring was in stock and not stuck in the port of Los Angeles. Overall, I'm super in love with my new kitchen and mud room flooring. I highly recommend working with Richard for your flooring needs. read more

T H E B E S T ! ! ! My fiancé and I went to about 10 places around this area, got all different kinds of price quotes, and saw all sorts of laminate. It was getting pretty dire when after 3 weeks of searching, we still couldn't find a laminate that was good looking, good quality, and good price. Then thankfully we walked into the Floor King. He had a good range of selections and at an amazing price for the laminate and installation. He gave us the best price we found anywhere else and gave us the best quality laminate. Thanks to Richard, we were able to afford a beautiful floor for our new house! read more

Cheats and lies. They are the worse type of contractor out there. We hired to install floors for our church. They quoted a price and they changed their mind after the job was done and insisted that that's was the price quoted. On top of that they tried to charge us a higher square footage. We only had 3000 sq feet and they said we had 3500. He insisted that he was right. I ordered only 3300 sq feet of material and with the 10% waste they still had two full boxes left. So it was apparent that they use inaccurate square footage to change more. The worker do a fairly decent job but bad at doing base cove. I suggest looking for other contractors. There practices are very questionable. read more

I needed to get new flooring done at my place and came across Richard and his Floor King business. The first strange flag was that before signing the agreement and paying the deposit he wanted, he told me that I couldn't make any changes as he already ordered the material. I thought that was very weird since I didn't even commit to the agreement and I felt like I could not make any changes even though nothing has begun. However, I was pretty sure of my selection so I fully obliged. Then, the day came to do the installation and there was one problem after another. First, he said that the manufacturer doesn't make side moldings so he brought us a dark colored one that just did not match our floors. I told him it was unacceptable to notify me the day of the installation and for me to just live with it since it was not the color I chose. The next day he tried to make things right by bringing a new one in a color similar to our floor. He would not address my concerns, laughed and brushed it off. Richard just kept telling us that there are discrepancies between each floor piece and that is just "how it is made". As you can see in the photos below, they do look similar but when I flip the product over, the model make and number are different. It's absolutely wrong to give your customers a different product they didn't ask or pay for and for me to just accept it. Richard did come to fix a few things that I was not satisfied about and tried his best I guess in the other areas. This is the only reason why I decided to give the star rating above. As I do not want to ruin his business even though I find the whole switcheroo practice to be very unethical. I can only hope he can be truthful to his customers from now on. Overall, the installation was done ok but I am utterly disappointed by the material discrepancy and do not appreciate being fooled and lied to. read more

To install my new bamboo floor, Floor King's workers, Victor and Carlos, removed the old kitchen tile and started to chip away at the remaining thinset mortar (the raised cement that held the old tiles down) from my condo's concrete subfloor, using a small jackhammer. It's a noisy, dusty process so I stepped out to do some errands. When I returned a few hours later, the cork underlayment was already in place and they were starting to put down the finished bamboo floor. That was fast, I thought. That night, with the floor about 1/2 installed, I noticed they'd left some old thinset at the edge of the subfloor, where it was still exposed. That didn't seem right, so I took some video of it: http://youtu.be/EeYdiygbisM And I brought it up with them the next day. Victor assured me it didn't matter if there was some remaining thinset around the edge. They continued working and finished putting down the cork underlayment and the bamboo by the end of day two. Beautiful, but something didn't seem right. The floor was very bouncy in the kitchen, where it was replacing tile, as opposed to the living room, where it was replacing carpet. Victor promised "this is normal." Uhhhhh.... Two days later the first board in the kitchen cracked. It is now showing signs of failure all over the kitchen area and in a few other places as well. See the dime to give it scale? This is TWO days after the floor installation: https://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/8C2UVmWEF3cQSHS4KOBg3g/l.jpg This is a floor that's supposed to last 15 years? The other day my cat walked across the kitchen and I heard a board crack loudly. That's right...the floor is so badly installed that my nine-pound tabby cracked a floor board. https://s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/oKB4UxbkxbPwCj6IHLeQuA/l.jpg I complained to Richard, Floor King's owner, and he talked to his workers. So here's what happened as you can probably already figure out. When I got tired of the dust and noise and left while they were preparing the subfloor, they stopped removing the old thinset and simply threw the cork underlayment on top of the bumpy, cracked, leftover debris from the old tiles. In other words, it wasn't just around the edges--they didn't prep the subfloor at all. So the result is a bouncing floor that's not evenly supported and is now breaking apart. Got that? Rather than do the hard but essential work of smoothing and cleaning up the subfloor, they put the floor over the old mortar. I also have a cracked threshold, which was also installed incorrectly. As Richard joked (although I didn't find it funny) the floor is fine as long as I stay out of the high-traffic areas, such as the kitchen. Update: they came back two weeks later to redo the kitchen. They arrived late and it took two more days. I worked with them, taking care of grunt tasks. It also confirmed the obvious: the subfloor under the kitchen was ridiculous! They had literally thrown the cork underlayment over leftover debris. It's much better now, but there's still an area with a noticeable hump in the kitchen. They broke off some of the connecting/locking tabs on the boards when they removed them and I now have minor gaps between the boards. And they left mountains of garbage, dust and debris for me to clean up alone (which took days to do). They left a caulking gun, a tube of caulk and some thresholds for me to finish the edges myself. That's what happened. They were cheaper than the competition, for what that's worth. read more

【‼The Best Price‼】(for flooring only) I could ever find on the market! I have visited and reviewed so many flooring places in person or online. I see most of the complaint reviews are all about flooring installation work... theres actually nothing wrong with the floor it self. So why not just get the product with the cheapest price, and find a contractor to do the installation job :) There's a floor I found the cheapest price was 5.89+shipping, and believe me I have compared the price with more than 50 stores or website, because we need quite a lot quantity yet our budget is not much. Luckily, we found here, and the owner finally offered us the same product for $5.10+FREE DELIVERY! WOW, we just SAVED more than $1600‼ We didn't hire them to install the floor. And their installation fee is kinda expensive compare to many Chinese contractors. Their show room is not very big. But they DO have LOTS of products and carry so many brands from low to high you could choose! You just need a little patient here and enjoy finding the right one like treasure hunting The owner Richard is nice and knowledgable, smooth communication, you could always bargain for the lowest of the lowest price if your budget is tight...

I used this place for getting new carpet / floor in my condo in Arcadia. The salesman (ask for Richard) was super helpful and offered me extremely low prices compared to a few of the other places I window-shopped. He was extremely communicative and patient, answering all my questions and helping me understand the upsides/downsides for each type of floor material and helped me pick what kind of underlayment to get. Floor King's workers were extremely careful with my furniture and worked very quickly. Overall, I was happy with their services and the way my floor/carpet turned out. Looks wonderful!! read more

I would give a "6" if I can. Richard helped us with several flooring projects, and has always exceeded our expectations. He is knowledgeable, patient, budget-savvy, honest, and very detail-oriented. He was able to provide quality work under tight budget and timeline. He even went out of his way to help us out with a flooring repair job that weren't done right by another vendor (without even asking for pay). I am very grateful for him and have a lot of respect for his professional work ethics, expertise, and honesty! I never have to worry about getting cheated when I deal with him. Many, many thanks again Richard, for all your hardwork, patience, and your willingness to go out of your way to help your customer! read more
