This entire process was a nightmare, first I ordered solid bamboo flooring online and a measurement online. Since I already had an idea of how much flooring I needed. When I called store to inquire about order, I told them what I ordered and before looking up my order, I was told I was wrong and that they didn't care solid bamboo, apparently this guy had no idea what products they sell, because guess what I ordered solid bamboo.
I was then contacted and given the name of the installation company, BM Flooring. I checked reviews and read that the communication was horrible and everything was done through text message and pictures. I brought this up to the Store Manager and an LL Flooring installation rep. I was assured thai was only 1 review and to look at the others. The measurement was completed and there were a bunch of issues, like $800 for glue for a floor, 5" bamboo, that didn't need to be glued. An upcharge on my credit card for the next level up of underlayment, without my consent, because "it was on sale and only an extra $70" according to the Nashua Store Manager. I was told I had to move my air duct for force hot air heat, in order to use flush mount grates and that they needed to be at least 12" from wall. Take out a tape measure and measure that for yourself, I've never seen a vent that far away from a wall.
After multiple phone calls, in which I was told, by a guy that never came to my house, that I could not use flush mount floor grates because my vents "are in the wall," again this guy never came to my house and apparently the guy that did measurement doesn't know what a force hot air floor vent looks like, the vents were ordered. And how were they measured?? By putting a tape measure on floor, taking a picture and sending it to BM Flooring, just like the review said.
So after about a 2 months, the grates came in, stock size, not custom width of 2" like the rest of house, which was shown to the measurement guy from BM Flooring.
So now floor is installed, they sub contractors of BM Flooring that did the install were amazing, I should of hired them directly off Craigslist like BM Flooring probably did. I was able to return 18 feet of threshold, that again was questioned in the beginning, since I had 3 outside doors that have there own threshold, however I was charged for 3 installs, which didn't happen and get this, it's up to the installer to authorize the refund for work that was not done. What are the odds of getting that $75 back. In total I was overcharged for glue, threshold and threshold installation, over $1000 and none was necessary.
Do your own research, educate yourself, question this store, the measurement quote and if they use BM Flooring as the installer, either run as fast as you can or look on craigslist and hire the guys yourself, because BM Flooring is nothing but a go between.
Question everything and watch your account carefully. That being said the installer, not BM Flooring, was able to make the vents work by cutting them down and the floor looks great, which has nothing to do with the customer service or lack there of that I received from the Nashua NH store or BM Flooring read more
