WORST Store. One of the worst purchasing experiences I've had. I was promised a 7-10 day delivery timeline, but it's clear this store does not have real inventory and operates on completely unreliable timelines. I waited over 80 days and still did not receive the material. There was no proactive communication, no accountability, and no clear answers on when (or if) the order would be fulfilled. A big part of the issue was the sales rep, James, who repeatedly made commitments and failed to deliver on them. The experience felt misleading and highly unprofessional. If you value your time and money, I would strongly recommend avoiding this store or, at the very least, not relying on any delivery promises they make. read more

I had a great experience here with Brandon! As soon as I walked in he greeted me and asked if I wanted any help. He was very helpful and honest pointing out good deals on flooring and also clarifying differences between flooring options we could choose. He even helped find me some good discounts at checkout! Excellent service. Thank you! read more

Great selection of flooring. Small store gets busy, so plan ahead. Ordered what I needed from James and it was delivered promptly. Installation subcontractors did an excellent job. Would definitely shop here again. read more

They've changed ownership yet again but seems just like the same store it has always been. They carry what I need so it's usually a quick in and out for me. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly and they've got a decent amount of flooring products. The best thing for me is there location in Albany right next to Target and right off of the 80 freeway. read more

I went to Albany LL yesterday morning 1/10/26. To get plastic to install my kitchen floor and get information about butcher block care. Both the blokes that helped me had very good customer service. They were friendly and informative and helped carry my purchase to the car. read more

Brandon at this store is really the reason folks shop here. He's knowledgably and very customer oriented. Perhaps not the best on the computer but I also can't believe they don't have an admin. At the SF location (~5 years ago, sales people took my order and the materials were picked up in Burlingame). This Albany location is a "one stop for all" so I came by a few times to work on my estimates, selections etc. In addition to helping customers Brandon is also of loading trucks, loading cars (including ours when we decided on materials) so a bit much for one person to do. But he still always is friendly with a smile on his face. He organized installation with a local contractor as well, Brent I think his name was and all went according to plans. NOTE: this is now called Lumber Liquidators again I think, vs LL Flooring. Also I used them because they could match flooring I had gotten installed ~5 years ago in part of my house. read more

BEWARE!!! I purchased vinyl floor planks from Jim for a small job. I wanted 3 boxes, which I believed would be plenty. Jim wrote the order for 4 boxes claiming 3 wouldn't be enough. When I asked if he would refund the full amount if I didn't need the 4th box he said sure, bring it back and I'll take care of you. I brought 1 unopened box back 3 days later. James had me leave it with him and said Ken couldn't do the refund until the next morning. The refund that was done the next morning showed up with a 25% re-stocking fee. I called James and he said corporate would not let him make the full refund and I needed to call them. When I called corporate they refused to make the full refund. Lesson learned. I won't do business with LL Flooring in the future. They are dishonest. read more

Shawn is my new best friend at lumber liquidators! Of course staring at my crappy old carpet during Covid it was time for a change. I had used LL before so I started cruising the site for a hardwood that was similar to what I had in the front of house. I was ready to purchase the floor after grabbing a sample. Scheduled the measure got the number and was ready to roll. Delivery was easy and everyone who works for them seems to be crazy friendly and very knowledgeable about their product. I found an installer on Thumbtack and had them installed just a few weeks ago! I could not be more happy with LL. Plus extra stuff from install is returnable. Amazing all around read more

Excellent experience today! Tenaya was helpful and patient and knowledgeable. She was also extremely understanding about a mess my friend accidentally created. Her manager (I think he was her manager? Did t catch his name) was also really nice about the incident. Fantastic staff all around. I just placed my order and Tenaya is going out of her way to expedite the delivery. Great prices too. Super happy customer. read more

I started the process of getting a quote several months prior to the actual installation but lumber liquidators was extremely patient while I waited for my HOA to give me final approval on the installation. Just tell them if this is holding up the process and they'll stop calling daily/weekly to check in. Mainly I want to give a huge shout out to Shawn. He was super helpful and gives his undivided attention when he's working with you. He even saved me about $200-300 because my flooring was on sale by the time my HPA grantees approval. I didn't have to ask for the sale price. Shawn is just an all around good person. He genuinely wants to see you get an upgrade on flooring. SW was generally really good from quote to actual installation. My 600sq foot condo took just less than two days for the install- two guys handled it all. And it looks great. They were accommodating to my requests to follow the many HOA protocols that are required in my building and kept me updated on how the install was going. All in all this was a positive experience except I had a few dings on my furniture- including curtain rods that were broken because they weren't handled with more care when installers were trying to get them out of the way while the flooring was being installed. It's fairly minor but knocks the experience down to 4 stars. Finally attached is a before and after - proof that new flooring (14mm laminate Nordic Fog Oak in my case) is well worth the investment. read more

I have been shopping around for a couple of years to replace my ceramic tiles in foyer, kitchen and half bath. I really did not want to tear up ceramic but was told it had to come up by several stores. This was going to cost! LL Flooring came by and said no we can put over the tiles? We do it all the time and never had complaints. I was hesitant so had others come out and give estimates some said they could but didn't recommend putting over tiles. I trusted LL Flooring and it looks and feels so good!!! My legs no longer hurt nor my feel on that concrete floor. No more grout to clean. They guys were great and got done in just a few hours. I love it! Indianapolis indiana read more

There a few flooring stIres nearby Lumber Liquidators so obviously, there are plenty of options when it comes to flooring. When I walked In, I was greeted in a prompt, friendly and professional manner. I really appreciated the way Roberto was able to answer my questions about planning this project. He was able to tell me almost exactly how much material I would need and when I had some leftover, Lumber Liquidators easily accepted the return and credited back my card. He was also super responsive with calling back when I would phone in with questions. I went with the Roman Marble vinyl tile and I love how it looks in my lower level apartment. It really helped brighten the space up and people still think it's marble. Appreciate the great service with this as it was a big purchase for me. Thank you. read more

We have been in our house for 14 years and the carpet that was installed during its build was definitely low grade and installed with minimal attention it seems. We looked all around for the perfect color and design across multiple local flooring specialists and found that LL Flooring would be our best bet for quality and value. Coming into the stoor, Shawn Llamas (Store Manager) was readily available and took the time to walk us through the real pros and cons of all flooring types before we made any decisions. He then made sure that we could take home samples and color match before making any purchase decisions. Once we found the perfect floor, Shawn partnered with us to find all of the materials we needed, and even took the time to problem solve solutions for stair noses that looked out of stock for some time. Ultimately, there was a delay with the noses due to manufacturers delays, but the LL team was attentive and supportive throughout that delay process. Shawn was committed to making sure that we ordered the right things, and not settle for secondary solutions if we could. The end product is amazing and my family is extremely happy with the new look of our home. read more

Bought bamboos floors there In January. The gentleman Shawn that helped us was awesome. He was super knowledgeable and made sure we knew the pros and cons about all the floor choices. We had some wood and transition pieces leftover after our floors were done. We were able to take them back no problem. I would definitely recommend using this store read more

I have done business with Lumber Liquidators in other states and have always been happy with their pricing and service. We went to this branch because the closer one in Emeryville burned down - that should have been a warning about what was about to happen. Although this was a small. straightforward DIY project to install laminate flooring, it turned into a long-running, sad joke. First they delivered a pallet of the wrong material (accidents happen, right?) they made good on that after several calls. The real problem was getting stair nosing and trim to finish the job. Nothing was in stock at the store and the initial order (which I paid extra to be shipped to the house) was "damaged in shipment" and never delivered. At this point, calls went unanswered and when I did manage to get through, they were busy with customers in the store and promised to call back. Seriously? Over the several months of this saga I never once got a promised call back from anyone not named Shawn. (He's the only guy working there that understands customer service - including the manager.) Eventually, they cobbled together what I needed from stores all over the state and I went and picked it up myself. Did I get my shipping cost back? Not really - they actually wanted to charge me more for the stuff i ordered and paid for over a month before. This is a keystone cops operation so unless you can get what you need at the store and head home, beware of doing business with this LL location unless you really don't care when your project gets finished. I will be using other flooring companies in the future. read more

I can't speak to the quality of their work but their staffed ranged from completely clueless to fairly informed. After paying for measurement I went back and forth with them for weeks to get a quote with dollar amounts and eventually gave up. read more

We just left the store as happy customers!! Robert was really helpful and he made us understand the differences between different types of material so well. He also left us with some really cool tips around sound proofing and wood padding. Highly recommended. read more

Good pricing, but be careful of promised lead times and delivery issues, we ended up picking up the items that were not delivered, although we were refunded the delivery fee it was still a hassle to come and drive 45miles to pick up the missing items, hence the 4 starts. read more

Came into lumber liquidators today and was working with Rafael (?). He was very knowledgeable and gave great customer service. The reason for the review isn't about the product itself or installation, but the customer service I received, after our initial conversation and appointment set up for a quote. An older white male came into the store, very upset and being rude overall. At this point, my interaction with Rafael was pretty much over, except I was just looking at the flooring and getting samples. Once I had picked out a few flooring types, I waiting for Rafael but did interjected with a quick question. I was also happy to wait, as the man seemed very impatient. Rafael then turned and offered to get me the samples quickly. The man barked that he was there and was upset that he stoped to help me. Rafael stated that I was actually there first and he was going to grab my samples. Rafael had repeated a few times that I was there first. The white man was clearly upset and actually threatened Rafael in Spanish and repeated himself twice before repeating what he said in English. He stated that if he wasn't going to get help he would cancel his entire order and that "Rafael" was on a thin line by stopping and helping me. He also claimed he had called in first. Which apparently to him made him feel like he would be automatically helped first and above anyone else in the store. I'm honestly only pointing out his white male privilege because it's sick that he would threaten and use his money to try and display his authority over others. And clearly didn't care about anyone else except for himself. And Rafael started to help him immediately as soon as he walked into the store. Also the other sales rep was on break, so it was just Rafael on the floor too! I appreciate Rafael for sticking up for me. I'm actually more upset I didn't call this man out for being so rude. So THANK YOU for helping me. I'm really not sure what happened after I left, but I hope that man realizes what jerk he is. What a small little man. FYI, I'm sorry I didn't catch the sales reps name, the man called him Rafael. Thanks again lumber liquidators! Looking forward to getting a quote for some flooring. read more

Shawn helped us pick out the best flooring for our needs. We were transitioning from tile floors in our kitchen. We were considering wood or laminate flooring but realized we needed something a little more durable and waterproof. Shawn recommended a wood look vinyl flooring. We ended purchasing the Tranquility flooring and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. We never imagined vinyl would be the optimal choice for our home. A huge thanks to Shawn for his expert guidance. read more

This review is specifically for Robert at Lumber Liquidators. I bought my floors on Saturday, and I was told they would be delivered on Monday. I have an extremely tight timeline, and I told them I would not purchase the floors if they would not be delivered that day (in hindsight that was an error). After purchasing the floors, I got a call a few hours later saying that the floors will would not be delivered until Tuesday morning, and that the delivery company would contact me on Sunday or Monday to give me the exact window. By 5:45 pm on Monday, I still had not received a call by the delivery company. At 5:45 pm - 15 minutes before closing - I pulled into Lumber Liquidators. There I was assisted by Robert. He made at least 5 phone calls, and stayed at least 30 minutes past closing to help me. Robert is the ONLY reason I did not cancel my transaction. He went so far above and beyond to be of service. I am incredibly grateful for all he did to assist and attempt to salvage my projects timeline. Customer service like what Robert provided simply doesn't exist anymore. I hope Lumber Liquidators appreciates what they have in him. read more

I just completed a big home improvement project with some luxury vinyl planks i got at Lumber Liquidators.

Great customer service - my wife and I bought a butcher block that was on backorder. One of sales associates let me know that I could come back in one week and it would be waiting for me. We waited two weeks and went over from the North Bay to pick it up. Turns out it wasn't there. We had travelled a good amount of tome to go pick it up so we were bummed it wasn't there ! The assistant manger - Roberto - explained to us that their policy is to only call when the product was in - and that in the future - no call means it's not there - regardless of what the sales associates say. So we learned our lesson. Then as we were leaving - Roberto could tell we were not happy that we waisted time driving around the bay .... he immediately looked for whatever else they had in stock that he could try to substitute. He was able to find something and while it wasn't exactly what we wanted - it worked for us . It was refreshing that it this store cared about our time and went the extra mile to help us. Definitely coming back to this location! read more

Robert Palomino was super helpful in the store.

Shawn at LL is amazing, he walked me through several days of me not knowing what to do! And all I can say is this is where you want to go and who you want working with you. There is so much I could say about humanity, my experience with Shawn gives me hope in people and the process. read more

We decided to convert our garage into a lounge area. We visited several different flooring stores before we landed at lumber liquidators. I have to say, we had an easy and stress free experience. Katherine is very knowledgeable and her customer service was amazing! She helped us pick out the perfect flooring and stair nose to go with it. She even helped us reorder materials that Fedex failed to deliver. Looking for nice flooring and excellent customer service, I highly recommend you visit LL Flooring in Albany. read more

I had such a positive experience with a purchase and a same day exchange of LVP. I bought some vinyl planks online and set it up for pick up in the Albany location. A few minutes after purchase I received a call that my items were ready for pick-up, got an explaination of the new Covid19 safety pick-up procedure on the phone and set up the time of my arrival. When I got there, I saw my items on a palate outside the building with some papers to sign and an associate from a safe distance confirming those items were in fact mine. When I was getting ready to leave, I took a peak in one of the boxes to confirm the color is correct. To my surprise, I had made a mistake and purchased a peel and stick vinyl plank, instead of a floating one. I wanted to exchange it for what I actually needed but worried they would give me a hard time. Instead, when I called the store (yes, I had to call them on my phone even when I was already there...part of the safety protocol) they didn't fuzz about it and was enthusiastic to help me search for what I actually needed. I'm super grateful for an excellent customer service, especially in times like this. -Great customer service. -Great prices. read more

Is it possible to give "0" stars? I'll I have to say is that you better pay with a credit card to be able to charge back when your stuff doesn't come. We ordered a wooden kitchen counter and put a deposit down on it ($200) and 8 weeks later the balance due was put on my card. Assuming it had come in I went to the store only to be told that I had already picked it up! They refused to listen to me and said all the billing and charging for orders was done at their headquarter (a lie). Long story short I charged it back. I was shocked how rude the manager (Dennis) was to me and my wife. I've had other contractor friends who have had simular experiences there. "Headquarters" would do well to get rid of this guy pronto. read more

More than anything this is a review for Danny--the store manager I believe. He helped us pick out flooring for our remodel and was incredibly patient, helpful and kind throughout. One of those experiences with someone that's worth leaving a review for. We are super excited for our new floors. Thank you Danny and LL Flooring. read more

The best customer service you can ask for. We purchased flooring well over 6 years ago. Unfortunately we had water damage and had to replace flooring. I called lumber liquidators and Shaun the store manager totally remembered me and the flooring that I needed, 6years later! He and his staff were very helpful getting the replacement that I needed and made it a pain free process. I would recommend this store to anyone, great product, and an even better experience. read more

So glad I came here. Great quality and reasonable prices. Katherine was terrific. Very knowledgeable, responsive to emails and phone calls, and patient with my order changes. She called around to multiple store locations to help me get my hardwood delivered as soon as possible. She also spent time talking with my own installer even after I had already paid for everything and didn't need to win my business anymore. Lumber Liquidators definitely made a loyal customer out of me! read more

On the positive side, this store has really decent prices. There are several of them around the bay area,, but this review is about the Albany store. We wanted a 12' and 8' walnut butcher block countertop and miraculously found the 12' in stock at the Concord store, which our contractor picked up within a few hours. The guy we dealt with told us said to order the 8' countertop quickly because there were 80 in stock at the national warehouse, and already 75 ordered. I instantly called the Albany store, near our house, told 'Kirstie' it was a rush situation, and then was subjected to a stream of BS and self-interruptions while she looked up the 8' Walnut countertops. Twenty minutes later she confirmed that there were by then 78 orders for the 80 pieces. But instead of ordering, she told me to let her doublecheck the prices and she would call me back. I hung up and waited half an hour, but she never called back. I finally called her, and she started in again with the verbal stream of consciousness, lots of annoying digressions, and all of it punctuated with random criticisms of me for 'not letting her think.' Finally she took the order and haltingly, while blabbing continuously to herself, got it in to the computer - at this point there was one 8' Walnut countertop left in the country. Not a pleasant cliffhanger. Later I realized the way to go is to stick with the national number to order and just specify the store you want it sent to. Try at all costs to avoid this person at the Albany store unless you have lots of time to waste. read more
