Not only…read moredid they match a competitor's price by over $1,000 without any hassle, but their representative, Dmitri, was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Every detail he provided aligned with other trusted quotes I received. The consultation was so impressive that I canceled other appointments and booked installation immediately. They delivered a fast timeline as advertised, and their professionalism was top-notch. I truly appreciated the service, and I'll be following up after the install--but from the consult alone, they went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

I had my floors installed in January 2021. This was a disaster from the beginning, The transitions…read morewere a different color, the gaps between the quarterround and the floor were awful. They stuffed crap in between the gaps to fill in spaces, then came back and caulked the ever living hell out of it, and to the floor. Then the floor boards separated. Someone came in and kicked it closed and said it's fixed. Then the floor separated again. They replaced the entire hallway flooring. They still separated, at this point it was out of warranty and I gave up. Four years later we are replacing these floors. When we pulled them up, we found that they nailed all the quarter round through the floor. It's a FLOATING floor, this is why they became unlocked. Then we found where they glued the flooring peices together and to the blue foam underlayment. There were peices shorter than 8 inches cut and put in where they did not measure correctly. This is the worst flooring job my husband has ever seen, this was done before we were married, and he is in construction. Half the stuff they did was completely wrong. I will never use or recommend Empire to anyone. Wish I could give NO Stars

Unfortunately, this is not a good review, and it is not something I like to do. However, I feel…read morethis is necessary. We engaged John last November to do knock down ceilings and paint our entire house after he completed a very nice job on a flooring project the year before. This new project did not go well. We discussed and agreed to the project schedule and expectations. What transpired was a serious lack of transparency and management. We were taken advantage of including paying for work that was never done and were told it was, hurried work that required rework multiple times, schedule slippage by multiple weeks causing us to incur additional costs and rescheduling subsequent contractors. John discussed making things right, however we were well past the point of allowing for this to continue and paid for a different contractor to finish the remaining rework. I'm sorry to have to share this. Sharon G.

After the installation I discovered heat wasn't working in the unit which caused a few wrinkles in the carpet when we had the cold snap around New Years. Reached out to Mike and he had his son come out and stretch the carpet again, after which it looked great. The job was done right from the beginning and I'm impressed that he backed up his work even though the lack of heat that caused the wrinkles was my problem not his. Liked the whole experience...Mike knows his trade, friendly employees, the price was 40% less than Flooring Expo for exactly the same carpet and the best is it's family owned so you can address any concerns directly. I will hire Mike's company in the future without hesitation.

Both the kind that lead to an outside door and the difference in the color of the plank into the bathroom space. The Owner Tina was great to work with.

Until you are looking for a destination, you may not realize how close or where it is. Working in St Paul we have easily driven past Seestedt's a few hundred times going to work or Saints games. Anyhow we are considering remodeling our bathroom and based on my Yelpsearch, Seestedt's had some very solid reviews. Being that they are local and family owned are other key factors that we support. I had already done some research on their website to see what they had in stock. When we arrived we were greeted by Garrett and Clare. Garrett showed us to the area where they had their vinyl plank flooring. Seestedt's has carpet, vinyl plank and wood flooring and more. Garrett was very helpful answering our questions and explaining the benefits and different types of flooring we were looking for. We also learned that Seestedt's is in a historical building as we were shown the cut room where they used to cut the carpet decades ago. We were able to get a better idea of the colors we would like as this trip was more of information and check out the styles before we make our purchase. Seested's is also in the process of moving to a new location off of 94 and I believe White Bear Ave. They should be in their new location sometime between the end of this year or early 2019. Thanks to Garrett for his friendly and helpful information, we will be visiting again soon to either narrow our selections down or to purchase our flooring.

If you're on the fence about Schneider Carpet One -- don't be. We just completed three major…read moreflooring projects in our mid-century modern home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. We had two guest bedrooms/offices coming out of a chaotic mix of linoleum, tile, and carpet tiles, a utility/laundry room with rough concrete, and a large family room on polished concrete. We went with LVP in a rosewood finish for the bedrooms, a Moroccan-pattern sheet vinyl for the laundry room, and plush carpet for the den. The end result looks incredible -- but what stood out just as much as the finished product was how the entire process was handled. From day one, Curt was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He walked us through the showroom, helped us think through each space, and came to the house to assess everything in person. His quote was thorough and transparent -- out the door pricing for all three rooms, no surprises. What we didn't fully anticipate was how much prep work our floors actually needed. Schneider's team handled self-leveling pours, subfloor resurfacing, and full prep on nearly every space to make sure everything was flush and seamless. They went well beyond scope -- installing new floor moldings, replacing old closet tracks that weren't compatible with the new flooring, and even coordinating a plumber to address a decrepit drain in the laundry room. Every detail was handled without us having to ask. Kyle did outstanding work on the LVP installation, and the rest of the crew handling the sheet vinyl and carpet were clearly masters of their craft. We were actually able to leave town and visit family while they worked, and came home to everything done, clean, and beautiful. We will absolutely be using Schneider again. Curt and the entire team earned every bit of our trust -- and our highest recommendation.

This is the third major installation that Schneider Carpet and Floor One has completed for us in the past several years and we couldn't be happier with them.

The installation work done by the Schneider Carpet and Floor One crew was top-notch. What a great company to do business with!!

Josh was our salesperson, and was tireless, knowledgeable, and patient in working out different options and educating us about the pros and cons. We did some comparison shopping. BCO's good pricing, their responsiveness and promptness, and them doing their own work (not subcontracting) were compelling, so we went with them. After we ordered the work, BCO was able to put the job on schedule within days. The BCO installers accidentally installed the vinyl plank in the wrong area. This error also led to some other issues. When BCO realized this, it immediately acknowledged its error and responsibility, and worked to correct as soon as it could. The BCO installers were back the next day to start addressing the issues, and Eric and another employee even visited the job after their workdays, just to evaluate and determine solutions. Matt (general manager) got involved at the end to make sure that we were satisfied with the resolution. (We were!) However careful a company is, some type of error will happen sometime to that company - that's a fact of life. How the company - and the people at the company - respond sets the great ones apart. And Bloomington Carpet One, through its actions and the actions of its employees, clearly distinguishes itself as a great company!
