I got a good deal on flooring from my local lumber liquidators going out of business sale, and BCE flooring was completely cool with me using my own supplied laminate flooring. Every other contractor wanted to charge me to supply their flooring. But not these guys. They're great. Would do business with them again. And probably will need to do business with them again to remove some carpet and put in more wood flooring.

You can be promised one thing verbally but the end result can be unsatisfactory. Your construction may all come to a halt as I had to have to wait for Delta come back several times to finally give me satisfactory work. Normally a company gets better with years of service, I can't say that this is my experience with Delta Hardwood Flooring. Johnny is a nice enough person but he handles the bids. I can't vouch for his crew as the work is inconsistent. It depends who you get.

I thought about not writing up this review since Johnny's a nice guy, but after thinking about it,…read moreowe myself and the Yelp community a review of my experience with Delta Floors. It should've been a red flag for me when the wood Delta had delivered was in the wrong size and finish then what I had ordered. But my friend used them and said other than leaving the place a bit messy, she was happy with her finished floor. So I said not a deal breaker and took another day off work to have the correct wood delivered. Delta said they could finish over the weekend, in 2-3 days, since it was a small space, prefinished, glue down application. They came Saturday but then all of a sudden said they had to glue down only part of the floor and come back on Monday to finish the rest "for the glue to dry so they can make sure the floor is installed straight". I think they more likely had a competing job, but long story short, it took them until Thursday (so I had to delay my trip out of town) to finish the floor. Cons: - I came home one day to find them installing in the kitchen without tearing up the linoleum and without installing underlayment which is against condo rules. I made them tear up the install and lay underlayment but I never would've known if I didn't come to check on them. This was a huge issue to me. - Two boxes of open wood (e.g., non-returnable) are leftover which is waay more than overage necessary for emergency repairs down the road. - The fireplace transition looks awful since they didn't undercut the brick like professional installers normally do. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/X6OeEGhri2Na-yvUCdYbdw?select=PvWnMZJtSLthnwTMIIYdHg - One side of the kitchen was uneven because the baseboard wasn't taken off before the install. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/X6OeEGhri2Na-yvUCdYbdw?select=EWk5RrvbdDGdWObIpJy0OA - There are 2 big scratches on the floor from when they put the fridge back. - Carpet was left on the closet transition. - The guys also left a lot of glue on the floors, wall and furniture as well as a lot of sawdust everywhere. - They didn't leave the condo hallway clean so my HOA was not happy with me. - I was told all the insurance information I needed for the HOA was on the website but it wasn't, and led to a lot of problems with my HOA. - They drank all my soda in the fridge and used all my paper towels instead of bringing their own supply. - My toilet handle was broken and a hole left in the drywall without fixing or telling me. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/X6OeEGhri2Na-yvUCdYbdw?select=3QD1D_Xw8S_AUCuRFKfWMg I felt like I paid a lot of money and got a less than brand new product. You'd never tolerate paying thousands of $$ for a new car only to get a dirty dented lemon to drive off the lot and you shouldn't have to with a floor either. And other than the cost of the wood, it ended up being over $6 per sq ft so definitely not cheap. I witheld last payment and made them repair the scratches in front of the fridge. However, Delta claims they didn't do it since that wasn't part of their 'procedure' which pissed me off. I don't care what your procedure is, I came home to find a not so brand new floor; so are you implying I did it? There was just a LOT of excuses throughout the whole process. * "Oh, the wood you wanted is too narrow so it took longer (so a half inch narrower than what you thought led to 6 days instead of the 2-3? 2.5 inches isn't THAT narrow. And it was frustrating to come home on a delayed job to find one guy took off at 2:30pm on multiple days). * "The guys didn't break the toilet 'cause otherwise they would've told me (then who broke it?!). * "It's not our job to clean when we leave, you should hire professional cleaners for that (are you kidding me?!). * "The brick on your fireplace is uneven and we don't undercut brick" (sorry, but I don't think it's the client's responsibility to subcontract your work out, if you can't do it, hire someone that can...I'm paying you to get the job done. p.s. here's a video of how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV2G7gJh2es). Anyway, I felt like I had to post the review since all the other reviews are so different from my experience and maybe they'll make some improvements. Could be the experience is better with on-site finished, nail-down installations but definitely wouldn't use them if I knew what I know now. I felt like I constantly had to be on-site to keep an eye on them which is a job in itself, and overall, an 'Eek!' experience but bumped up a star since they did fix most of the issues (although they tried to take shortcuts for repairs like only re-installing baseboard on half of the wall since you have to look to the side of the fridge to see the rest --seriously?!) and since Johnny's so nice (but he won't be on-site, you'll just deal with him for the payments/specs).

Gerardo installed a new layer of cork on our kitchen floor. We liked working with him very much in…read morethe beginning. He visited several times before the project started to discuss material options versus refinishing our existing cork floor. We agreed on the details and costs easily and he ordered materials, and we prepared the kitchen by removing a built in nook and baseboards. He helped us remove the stove and stacked washer/dryer. A few days later the new floor looked great and we moved the appliances back in place. However, when we used washing machine he had reversed the hot/cold water hoses and we had to pull the W/D out to switch the hoses. The next wash cycle the hoses fell out of the wall and water leaked on the floor damaging about 30% of the new tiles he had installed. He came back, and helped fix and reinstall but the tiles shrank and he did not order any extra tiles for repairs. Then a second water leak with the refrigerator, and then the glue used to secure those tiles failed. In addition to water damage some 26 tiles have popped up all over the floor, in areas not damaged by water. Gerardo has stopped responding to calls/texts/emails and has abandoned the project. We still owe a third of the cost but he is not responding. It seems he was unfamiliar with the materials he used, and did not install them properly. Even if we had not had the first water leak there are some 26 cork tiles that have popped up. Some tile joints are uneven, some have small ridges that will be problematic. The heat register was flush in the original floor and although he contracted to replace it in kind it is now raised. We can't use our kitchen nook because it is disassembled and being stored in our dining room. This should have been a week long project but we are now in week 5. We have family arriving for the winter holiday in a few days which will be a drag without decent seating. It will be hard to find another flooring contractor to repair the failed floor if that is even possible. I'm guessing we will have to start over and order materials again. I cannot recommend using him for any flooring work.

(We recently purchased our home and wanted to swap out the carpet for LVP.) I initially tried to get quotes from the big box retailers like Home Depot and Costco (Shaw Flooring) but they were either inconsistent with their pricing or slow in their communication and response times. So, I tried Yelp's "Projects" and found found local contractors that each gave me quotes. Eric was the most responsive and immediately gave me a close estimate. The installation itself was executed quickly, with attention to detail evident in every corner of the room. Eric and his team worked efficiently and effectively, completing the project within the promised timeframe and budget. They showed up promptly every single morning, cleaned up and wrapped up each work day like clockwork. The quality of craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and I am thrilled with the durability and beauty of my new LVP Gaia floors. (See before and after pics!)
