I had to update my original review from the first time I used Jay & his crew back in 2013. Here I am, 10 years later, and STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fossum Floors! At this point, they have done at least 6 big jobs for me, in my own home and rental properties, and their quality of work is top notch. They show up on time, always clean up after themselves, and are just great people to work with. Jay also always puts up with all of my questions and special requests - I'm a picky customer and he never disappoints! I can't recommend them enough. Give em a try, you won't be disappointed! Sincerely, Leslie Schmidt, #THEPROPERTYMAMA Original Review 2014: Okay let me just start by saying I've never reviewed a contractor/installer, but I feel compelled to do so! Jay and his helper installed nearly 1000 sqft of porcelian 18x18 tiles in our home late August 2013. They did such a beautiful job! We always get compliments on the floor... They cleaned up all their mess, even re-installed and PAINTED my baseboards! Unheard of! Jay is such a professional, sweet and funny guy, I wish I had more work for him. I highly recommend him! read more

Jay and his crew are the best!! We had four rooms in our house with different kinds of flooring. Jay and crew pulled up all the old wood and tile flooring. They are very organized and efficient. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend Jay Fossum Floors. S and D White read more

Jay and his team installed hardwood flooring and baseboards throughout my second floor and replaced my staircase carpet. I rarely find contractors that take as much pride in their work as Jay. He is reliable, punctual, trustworthy, easy to work with, and most importantly does quality work. Jay is the definition of a consummate professional. I would highly recommend him and his team. read more

Jay had installed our floor (1100 sq ft of wall to wall vinyl planks) several years ago and it looks great. Because of some damage we recently had to do repairs, and his crew was able to fix it. He responded quickly when we called, and he and his crew were fast, clean and meticulous in getting the floor put back together, and it all looks as good as new. The price was for the original installation and this recent repair were very reasonable. read more

Beyond exceptional! I turned to Fossum Floors to complete a project after releasing another contractor due to non-performance issues prior to commencing work. Start to finish Fossum was nirvana. Project scope was removal of existing first floor hardwood/carpeted areas and installation of 1K square feet of a selected engineered hardwood product. Demo, prep, install and base shoe paint touchup were done is less than four days. You will admire the pride Jay and his crew take in their workmanship. Highly recommended. read more

We recently had wood floors with new baseboard throughout the majority of our home's lower level and replacement custom tiling for our fireplace put in our home by Jay Fossum and we couldn't be more pleased! Jay is so highly skilled--is absolutely expert at his craft and is a pleasure to work with, offering competitive pricing. He is extraordinarily professional but so wonderfully personable and it's clear that he has great integrity and an amazing work ethic! He cares very deeply about doing an excellent job and is an excellent communicator to ensure that the proposed job is exactly what he delivers. I would highly recommend Jay and his crew to anyone wanting flooring installation and will be calling for our future flooring needs. read more

Jay did a great job on the floor at our new house in Ventura. We hired him to put in formaldehyde free bamboo downstairs and maple floating floors upstairs. The house we bought is a "fixer upper" and he and his team quickly removed the disgusting original carpet with pet stains in about a day. There was already some cheaper bamboo existing at the house and he installed the newer bamboo in a way that it went with the existing bamboo. He also installed a moisture barrier below the bamboo and he let the new bamboo floor "breathe" for a couple days so it could adjust to the humidity and get to its stable size before he finished the install. He then put the maple in upstairs and carpeted the stairs. He also replaced the previous owner's poor bamboo install in one of the bathrooms with water resistant vinyl that looks like stone. Much better now. After he was done, the house looked 100% better! He does a high quality installation and it is obvious he has significant experience. His rates were reasonable as well. He let us choose the material and gave us pointers on types of moulding to get that went well with the floor. He also finished very quickly after he received the material shipment from us. I highly recommend him for flooring in the Ventura area! read more

Jay is the best at what he does. Honesty and integrity are at the heart of his work. Jay has done several floors for me and my family and friends over the past 12 years. He's busy, but he's really good! I have used him to install many types of tile and Laminate flooring. He's a pro. read more

Our house had pet-stained cork floor in the Master bedroom. Room is large, and only part of it was stained. Jay couldn't have been more professional and skilled, assessed the situation and recommend a plan of action. Great to communicate and schedule with, and extremely pleasant as well. On-time and true to his word. Superb result at a fair price. His assistant Leo worked on the same way, efficiently and with obvious command of the trade. Don't waste your time or money only to end up dissatisfied. If you need floor work, call Jay. read more

Jay and his crew did a beautiful job installing our wood floors throughout the house! They were easy to work with - always professional, on time, and easy to contact. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anybody looking for floor installation. read more

We've had flooring work done in the past that was installed improperly. Bumpy uneven floors and unattractive poor cuts - one job was particularly disastrous. We heard about Jay Fossum and decided to give him a call. He explained how installing hardwood flooring takes time, precision and know-how to get it right. I must say his approach is a breath of fresh air. There is no runaround with this guy. The quote came quickly, clearly and fair priced. More importantly of course, is the service. Jay took extreme care to make the sure we were completely happy with are gorgeous new hardwood floors. The finished job looked absolutely perfect. Since then we have used Fossum Flooring two additional times and experienced the same satisfaction. He does it right the first time. My wife and I could not recommend Jay more highly. read more

Fossum Floors - Flooring Near Me

I would give Jay Fossum ZERO stars if that was an option. He walked off the job on the first day. We picked out vinyl flooring from ProSource, and they recommended DryTech adhesive for us to glue it down to the concrete. He refused to glue the floors.....So we questioned him about why? Since ProSource recommended this adhesive to glue the flooring. He didn't like being questioned so he walked off the job in a huff. Seems to be very difficult to work with, and VERY unprofessional. I would avoid using him at all cost. read more

Jay Fossum just installed luxury vinyl planks throughout our entire home and wouldn't use anyone else! He and his crew were great. Ontime, clean, fast, polite and moved all of the furniture and stuff without any damage. Floors and workmanship are perfect. I highly recommend Jay Fossum Floors. read more

Jay and his crew just finished our engineered wood flooring project a few hours ago. We are not only thrilled with how the project looks, but Jay's (and when I say Jay's I mean his crew and him) dedication to our project was fantastic. From my first interaction of requesting him to visit our home to the jobs completion he was accommodating and professional. A bit about our project. We installed engineering floors about 20 years ago and wanted to remove the existing carpet and replace with new engineered flooring. The existing flooring was discontinued and although there were several options to add new flooring, refinish, etc. we choose to remove the existing flooring and replace with all new materials. Flooring installed is a bit over 1000 sq ft. It was a fairly straightforward job of removing all the materials and then preparing the slab for the new installation. It took a lot of work to clean the existing adhesive, clean and level the slab. The only unique area was in the entry where we have a stair nose border. We wanted to salvage this border (if possible). Jay agreed to try to salvage, but advised that if it could not be salvaged new stair nose would need to purchased, installed and stained. We agreed that we would review the best solution for this issue and arrive at a reasonable price. (Which is exactly what we did). We had five other companies bid on the project, three of which we engaged with. One company was not responsive so we dropped them. Pricing for the remaining three were all within a range or reasonableness with Jays not being the lowest cost. We selected Jay because of he just seemed to be easiest to deal with. His references were all positive. The job was completed in the time frame he estimated and we have about 40sq ft of extra material (which is fine with us). If you have a flooring project you should definitely invite Fossum Flooring to bid read more

Jay Fossum of Fossum Floors it truly Awesome Fossum! He installed my new flooring. He is honest, knowledgeable, reliable, easy going, and always goes the extra mile for his customers. He installs all kinds of flooring --carpet, wood, tile, laminate, vinyl plank--name it. I had 4 other installers come to my house to give me estimates. Jay was the only one who gave me an estimate right then and there, instead of 2-3 days later. Plus he is the only one that pointed out at that time some difficulties my flooring situation presented--things other estimators only noticed when they subsequently returned. Jay's prices are fair and, instead of the traditional 10% waste for cutting that other estimators used, he estimated 5%, so I was able to save a good deal of money on material. I asked Jay for 3 references and when I called them, these people raved about him. I cannot say enough about this guy. If you need any kind of flooring installed, he's the man! read more

Jay was recently introduced to us by an interior designer. We hired him to install the wood floors in our new house and he was by far the best vendor we hired for the entire renovation.

I was really nervous about the extensive flooring work I wanted done in my 20 yr. old house. I had a few other referrals come to give estimates, but as soon as I met Jay, I knew he was the right EXPERT for me! He was honest, professional, reliable, extremely easy to work with, and has a very positive upbeat work ethic. He not only installs, but he is very helpful in choosing the right materials, designs, and products.

Jay and Leo just made by Christmas by coming out and, in one day, installing flooring in four rooms. It transformed the look of the house.

Okay, after looking on other sites (you know.. Angie..Home Ad, etc.) I thought I'd try Yelp. Found Fossom Floors with 5 star rave reviews and said "well it's worth a try". Contacted Jay and immediately discovered that he and his guys are unbelievable. From the first meeting thru a 1400 sq. ft. installation, everything was "perfect". At 80, I've had times to deal with a lot of contractors and service folks.. I have never, in all that time been more satisfied, pleased, and amazed at the work, attitude, and pleasantness of experience. In our case, it was necessary to remove 3 rooms of stone tile, 5 rooms of carpet (halls too), fill in a sunken living room and bring in up to level with the rest of the floor, and move in and out major furniture which included a Grand Piano !! All that in an efficient and pleasant manner... So what else could I want? Oh yes, how about coming back the day after the job to touch up an obscure little 2" square under a sink cabinet with white paint !! I think it's called attention to detail. By the way, did I mention that Jay is one of the nicest guys I've ever met... He is certainly in my top ten acquaintances. As others have said, professional, punctual, "cleaned up their mess", and courteous. You don't know me, but I hope you will take my word and at least give Fossom Floors a chance. you will not be disappointed. read more
