Billy is a great facilitator for the business and the installation for both hardwoods and carpet…read morewas friendly, seamless and professional. Great, local Delaware business.

I went with Floor Concepts because they came highly recommended, but unfortunately I did not have a…read moregood experience with them. The flooring itself came in quickly and the install was scheduled. We took a vacation day from work for the installation, only to receive a text from Karly the day before saying they needed to reschedule with no explanation or apology for the late notice. Once the carpet was removed, we were told a subfloor needed to be installed. The subfloor was installed. We rescheduled the install. We specifically scheduled the install for 1:00 PM because we had earlier commitments.  The installers arrived early and immediately complained that they had been "sitting around all morning doing nothing" and asked why we didn't call for them to come sooner. There was a full unopened box and another half open box of flooring left over. While cabinets were going to be installed in part of the area, that information apparently was not relayed to Karly. However, even accounting for the cabinet area, there was clearly still too much flooring left over for such a small space. When I called Floor Concepts to see if we could return the unopen box Karly was extremely rude and insisted she personally measured everything correctly. (even though she missed the kitchen floor being higher than the room we were renovating) Talked to Sean and got nowhere with him. I later went into the store to show them a picture that the installers reused the old transition instead of installing a matching new transition. It looks terrible. Once again, Karly was extremely rude and blamed us, saying we must have installed the wrong thickness of the subfloor. That was not true. The subfloor height matched the powder room floor, which was also being replaced. Karly had personally measured the space and it was obvious even before the carpet was removed -- that the kitchen floor sat higher than the flooring being installed. I called and spoke with Sean and once again got no where with him. He told me there was nothing he could do other than offer to sell me a custom transition piece for another $200-$300. Seriously, for a 2.5' piece of wood? Shouldn't that be included in the price? At that point, I was completely done dealing with Karly's attitude and Sean's unwillingness to help with anything. While the flooring itself looks nice, except for the transition that doesn't match the customer service, communication, scheduling issues, and unwillingness to take responsibility made this a very disappointing experience overall.  I did not feel like a valued customer.  There are plenty of other places to choose from for our next flooring project.

How lucky were we?!? If you're in the market for any flooring work, it is worth reading on to find…read moreout. Jim and Andrea were the last company to give us a quote for a fairly complex floor refinish/install and thank goodness for our perseverance. Our pre-finished builder grade Bruce hardwood had a pretty good bevel, multiple spots on the floors were worn through the finish from previous owners' dogs, there was some inconsistency with the install that occurred 20 years ago when the house was built, not to mention water damage and we wanted to add hardwood where there was carpet in the family room. We were beginning to lose hope with previous 4 quotes ranging from "we can do it, but..." to a disheartening quote from a well known local company that is considered high standard in this area. I'll name drop simply because others feel compelled to name drop on their critical reviews. My quote from Ziggy's consisted of Ziggy wandering into my open garage and knocking not at my front door, but at my garage door. It was him coming in and basically saying I can't do anything you're asking for. He said, "you can't sand that bevel out, you'll end up with uneven finish and splinters, it will splinter. I've been doing this for 30 years and I teach this stuff. You can't sand out that bevel." He said this even as the other three quotes to this point indicated it was absolutely possible. "You won't be able to make the new floors look like they belong with the old floors." Also not true. Aside from spending half of the quote touting his credentials, Ziggy was also very dismissive of anything we had in mind and simply told us what he envisioned with our floors; it felt as though he didn't listen at all and was only quoting us for what he was willing to do. 10 min after his arrival, he was gone and we were on to the next...we were frustrated because we were being told by one professional who had good ratings that it was impossible to complete this job and then by three other companies that they wouldn't be able to do what we were asking...but could do it half ass for x amount. Boy, were they ALL wrong. Jim and Andrea came into our home with a keen eye and plenty of recommendations for a perfect finish and they quoted us to ensure the floor was done correctly. They were here for about 45 minutes to really get a feel for what it was we wanted to accomplish and to visualize it with us. It wasn't a matter of IF we wanted it done correctly or knew enough to ensure we asked about having it done correctly, they simply said "we can do anything you want, but this is how you do what you're asking for." They were very reassuring that our situation was not unique as others had made us feel. Jim, who I learned is a MASTER in his field and actively trains his peers (he received multiple phone calls while on our job from other flooring professionals with text pictures asking how he would properly complete a job and he even lent tools to another peer who had a tool break in the field) in this field, not simply high school wood shop. He did a GREAT job explaining the process both before and during the refinishing/install process. I also found that although he doesn't like to brag about his education and training, he has more cumulative hours on very specific finishing methods than most do on flooring in general (upwards of 16k hours). Couple all of this expertise with the fact that we didn't have to move out of our house for a week or more and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our floors have been finished for over a month now and I have recommended Jim and Andrea by mouth to close friends in the market for floor refinishing. It took them coming over once to see our floors to convince them to give Jim and Andrea a call. If you're getting frustrated with quotes that you've been given or you've had a bad experience with a nightmare refinish, give them a call! I can't recommend them highly enough. See before and afters below (no splinters and the shadow lines prove it's perfectly even!).

Love our floors. Delaware valley hardwood is the best in the business. So skilled. Very prodessionalread more
