We were looking for cork flooring to install in our basement and kitchen and Floor Coverings…read moreInternational has a great selection. John came to our home and brought a range of samples and explained the installation details for the material. Once we made our selections, John provided a detailed quote and contract for the work. The installation is beautiful and we love the cork flooring -- more comfortable than hardwood to walk on, with a similar look and great durability and easy cleaning.

John is a quirky guy, opinionated but full service. If your design ideas do not match his own, he…read morewill push against you. He repeatedly "corrected" our vision for a certain color combination. We worked together for 2 months to find the perfect flooring. Not once during the process did he mention he is CASH ONLY as he had one bad experience with a product only (no install) chargeback a few years ago. Since credit cards provide a lot of consumer protection in regards to warranty and paper trail records for warranties, we contacted the HQ for Floor Coverings International to ensure they would keep the records in case this local store goes out of business, as our flooring came with a 20 year warranty to the tune of $5000. The HQ staff was very helpful, they understood the problem with cash only records and offered to speak with John to see if he would accept a partial cash and partial credit payment to solve the problem. They also stated they had a similar problem with another location skipping town and leaving customers without service post-sale, so they understood our concerns as it's valid. They also pointed out John plans to retire soon so he won't be in business much longer likely however they would find another location owner to travel to us if need me. Southern hospitality at this HQ 100%. We texted and called multiple times to complete the sale over the next 2 weeks. After a 2 month working relationship with a contract in hand and ready to write him a check to begin work, John GHOSTED us without so much as a voicemail, letter, text, nothing. Highly unprofessional. After 4 weeks waiting for him to respond, giving consideration perhaps something had prevented him from replying, we ordered the same product from elsewhere and paid a few hundred more BUT we were able to get quick, friendly service, installation warranty, full product warranty, and use our credit card which gives us peace of mind long term for warranty records as well as cashback on the $5000+ purchase from our card issuer. Overall, we wanted to use John, HQ were reassuring and reasonable people, and he had better products than Endwell Rug or Discount Carpet. But, ultimately, someone who acts inscrutably pre-sale is going to be trouble post-sale. We are very happy with our new flooring and are bummed we could not support this small local business.

Erich's the kinda guy who can talk the talk (and talk he does, for hours on end), but not walk the…read morewalk. Supposedly he says he has "20 years of sheetrocking experience," but what he really means is he has 20 years of subcontracting experience to others. Most of the work that Erich did, he did in a shoddy way. The only saving grace, and the reason for a 1 star rating, is his workers were decent at their jobs at least. Took roughly a week of work to get my bathroom reno done. The project was simple: get my small, old barnboard and plaster and lathe bathroom up to date with drywall, 2x4 framing, fresh coat of paint, plumbing, tub/shower, and adding new vanities. The project was done in FEBRUARY OF 2025. First, the good parts: Bathroom looks much much better compared to what it started off as: a puke inducingly ugly thing, initially carpeted (which I took out immediately after purchasing the house), followed by scraping layers of rubber rotted carpet underlayment until the ugly plywood remained. The bathroom, after the renovation, now looks modern, clean, and the ceiling is much higher not having to have layer after layer of hackjob framing the previous owner of the house did. Erich's subs did...decent... work, although left much to be desired when it comes to proper finishing. Some drywall joints have visibly large amounts of mud, tape, and paint noticeable. Poor craftsmanship drywalling. The framing was done well at least, so I can do future bathroom renos myself. Last, but not least, a list of screwups off the top of my head that I can pin entirely on the business owner, Erich: The scope of work included adding fiberglass insulation within the walls of the newly framed bathroom--this was never done. Athough not required for inside walls, the scope and invoice pricing included this service. Of course, Erich pocketed the cost of insulation for himself after returning it to the store, rather than refund me for services not carried out, or even leaving the insulation so I could have used it later personally. Then, and this is quite embarassing, he struggled for a solid 45 minutes trying to install a toilet flange. I stand by what I stated: I would never hire you to replace a faucet in the future, let alone any sort of serious construction. Oh yes, he also failed to patch up a huge hole in the wall, which the scope of work included. I've attached a picture showing that, as well as I've labeled who worked on this project on the studs and the tub wall. (In the off chance I get dementia way down the line 40 years in the future, I'll know who did this sort of shoddy work, and not hire that company or their descendants). Finally, it is expected that you maintain a clean working environment. NO protection was used on my hardwood floors, including NO plastic sheets or cardboard sheets to prevent construction debris and dust from getting rubbed in. I had my roomba mop the room at least 3 dozen times before the hardwood got back to its starting shape. Plaster and lath dust gets EVERYWHERE. Oh, and the icing on the cake: Erich was supposed to have hauled away the construction waste after job completion. This was NEVER DONE. In fact, the contractor I hired for my roofing project did that. You should be ashamed of yourself, that ANOTHER contractor had to fix your screwups. My entire garage was FILLED with at least 40 construction bags of debris. All I got were excuses after excuses: oh my guy's wife is sick, oh my truck broke down, etc etc. Keep in mind, this is now AUGUST of 2025 and he still has yet to pick up his junky old vacuum cleaner which he left behind here ON TOP OF THE OTHER JUNK... BACK IN FEBRUARY! (And I just got to this review after so long because I had a whole slew of other projects going on this year--new metal roof, removing a chimney and fireplace, framing and drywalling my living room, etc, all done by another contractor who actually gives cares about proper worksmanship). TLDR: Stay clear of this guy. TERRIBLE business. By FAR the worst contractor I have ever used. See screenshots for more details.

I had to have a commercial space, which had an uneven concrete floor, skimmed to create a smooth…read moresurface for flooring that is to be installed on top. The owner of this concrete company (Ryan) was quick to respond and provide an estimate, and he guaranteed that I would love the end result. He spent one day chipping and cleaning the area, and the next day pouring the concrete (side note- I understand that it's legal, but it was very unsettling that he showed up on the second day wreaking of weed. Perhaps he didn't think I would notice or maybe he just didn't care, but it raised an eyebrow as he was there to do a professional job). According to him, the truck that he had arranged to come and pour, had concrete with some sort of stones mixed in that he did not plan on. So he spent time plucking stones out. I'm not sure why he didn't just contact the company he arranged the truck with and get the right material delivered (I was not aware of any of this until after the fact). By the end of that day, the floor looked beautiful, as it was still wet, and I paid promptly. Within a few days, there were cracks throughout. By the two week mark, the floor was so badly cracked that it was lifting EVERYWHERE and hollow underneath all of these areas. I immediately contacted him to come and correct this problem. He arrived a few days later. He did not pull up areas that were cracked and starting to crumble (these areas literally moved under our feet), he just poured concrete over them. Before it was even dried, the cracks were coming through. I asked him if he used a bonding agent as my contractor stated it did not look as if any was used. And the owner stated that he 'never really thought a bonding agent worked that good anyways'. Over the next few days, I had two flooring professionals and three contractors at the location, all telling me that the entire floor had to be chipped up and redone as it was already coming apart and would not withstand flooring being put on top of it. Additionally, every single one of them states that a bonding agent was clearly not used. It would be one thing if there were a few cracks here or there, but literally, the entire floor is pulling up and cracking, showing that there weren't just a few spots missed. There was just no bonding agent applied to begin with. Another mystery that the flooring specialists as well as the contractors couldn't quite put their finger on, was that no one could really confirm what material was actually used. Though I was told this job would be done with a self-leveling concrete, they do not feel this was the case. They honestly couldn't tell if it was mortar or stucco or whatever might've been left over in the truck. But it did not have the finish or coloring that it should've. I contacted the owner yet again and told him all of this, and that I wanted and deserved a refund as he did not provide the service he guaranteed. However, this time he did not respond. Some cracking here and there over years of use is to be expected, but the entire floor is in worse condition than before he did anything to it. A refund is absolutely necessary as I cannot salvage any of this and I have to pay to have it pulled up, cleaned, and done over. But without any response from him, now I have to take other steps. This was, and continues to be, an absolutely horrible experience and I hope no one else has to go through something like this.
