As a consumer, I don't like the hard sell, so I really appreciated the approach at Paradise Flooring. They were helpful, knowledgable, informative, and patient with me as I struggled between a couple of options. They were able at help me look for carpeting that fit my needs, without making me feel pushed - or like I was getting the hard sell. They were able to tell me what they had in stock, and for choices that were not readily available, how quickly these could be shipped to Hawaii. And...they were nice about everything...When I had questions about the process, they responded to my e-mails in a very timely manner. Paradise did not do the carpet installation themselves, but they were able to provide me with contact information for vendors that they had vetted and found to be reliable. This was very helpful - as the vendor I chose was one of their recommendations, and he was also very good. read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Lance from Paradise Flooring. From day one, he was responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We had originally been leaning toward LVP after seeing so many Instagram videos saying it was the way to go, but Lance suggested the Bravewood hardwood hybrid line -- and we're so glad he did. It wasn't something we had on our radar, but the quality and look ended up being exactly what we wanted. It's beautiful in person and feels really solid underfoot. Lance helped us lock in the right materials -- even securing low-stock items in advance -- and gave clear, honest insights into the differences between flooring types and carpet fibers. He also ordered samples for us right away so we could see everything in person, which made the decision process a lot easier. He even helped coordinate with our flooring installer, which saved us time and made the whole process feel more seamless. Lance was always on top of things -- following up, sharing timelines, and making sure we felt supported every step of the way. Even little details like stair nosing preferences were handled with care. Payment and logistics were smooth, and overall, Lance made what could have been a stressful part of the renovation feel really manageable. Highly recommend Lance and Paradise Flooring -- professional, easy to work with, and genuinely wants to help you make the best choice for your home. Mahalo again, Lance! read more

Just moved to a new house and wanted to replace the carpet flooring with LVP and tile. Couldn't have been more satisfied with Paradise Flooring. Tons of selection and different price points for any budget. Lance and his staff were super helpful and knowledable and brought up things to think about that never crossed my mind. There was no pressure to buy any particular product and once we decided what we wanted, they recommended several flooring installers, one of which we ended up using. Lance was very knowledgeable, practical, and patient as he answered my endless questions! Highly recommend Lance and his team at Paradise Flooring! read more

very knowledgeable, reasonable pricing, no hard sell, easy to deal with. Better variety than big box stores

Lance and Mary are the best and easy to work with. I am the type of person that expects responsiveness and Mary was so on top of it. Lance also recommended a great installer who did fantastic work in our home and cleaned up after each day. We were on a quick timeline and it was very fortunate the LVT we picked was in stock. We were in the showroom on Friday and the installer was at our house by Wednesday. Very happy with our new floors! read more

Professional knowledge, easy to work with, lots of inventory and choices. Better than any big box stores.

Worked with Lance to try to find a tough to find item. He spent time not only looking for it and finding me options but also time thinking outside the box for options I haven't thought of that might work for what we needed. Wonderful to work with, responsive and great with communication. read more

We were very happy with our decision to use Paradise Flooring for our new home construction! Lance walked us through the different options and made suggestions after listening to what we were looking for. Our flooring looks great!! Thank you for the great service, Lance!! read more

I only needed 300 sq ft of flooring for my condo. Jennifer was very patient and explained about the different types of flooring within my price range. I told her I was undecided and I've been looking at HomeDepot as well. She gave me the information of the flooring I was interested in, gave me her card and told me to call her if I had any questions. I ultimately purchased the flooring from Paradise Flooring. Jennifer was the best. She made me feel important even tho my purchase was only 300 sq ft. Thank you Jennifer read more

Cannot say enough great things about Paradise Flooring and specifically Lance Takehara! Great selection and a super knowledgeable owner that will work with you to find the appropriate flooring for your price point and situation. He provides excellent guidance and consistent communication throughout the whole process. I travel a lot and it can make working with contractors and vendors really difficult, but Lance has been so accessible and so helpful, even going so far as to recommend other vendors for my renovation. The staff is also wonderful and on it - the store is warm and welcoming and you can't go wrong here. 10/10! read more

Lance and Jennifer were nothing short of amazing. Knowing I had a tight turnaround time (and the most strict HOA flooring rules), the Paradise Flooring team made sure that everything would run smoothly. As these parts needed to be ordered with long lead times, my hectic work travel schedule did not make it easy for this entire process. Lance always stayed on top of time line to ensure completion. Jennifer also was very patient with me and provided great insight during the decision making process. If you need excellent service and products look no further. read more

Beautiful selection of wood flooring (both solid and engineered), as well as tile. Their ordering is prompt, and delivery of products is swift. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. One of the very best flooring stores in Honolulu. read more

Recently stopped by after speaking with Lance (the owner) on the phone. He and his staff are very attentive and helpful. I would definitely recommend friends and family to check this place out the next time they need flooring. I wanted to support a small business in Hawaii. Years ago we went to a larger establishment and the experience was horrible. After we made our choice & paid, we received zero response from the staff. When I voiced disappointment with the install, I received a response that we signed off on the install so there was nothing we could do. They crew who did the install was the one the sales person chose for us. We were too trusting and should have done more research. Luckily I now have Yelp and can check reviews. Lol the crew that Lance suggested was the same one I chose from the great review on Yelp! If you want reliable, honest and great service check out Paradise Flooring. You can see the quality in the products they carry! read more

Paradise Flooring was great to work with and very knowledgeable about their product.

Before you decide to purchase your flooring from the big box stores also know by their orange and blue logos, I highly recommend you visit Paradise Flooring. Paradise carries luxury vinyl tiles, (LVT), hardwood, laminate, engineered and tiles. Lance and his team are knowledgable, friendly, and go the extra mile to help you select the correct flooring for your home or rental project. They have a large selection to choose from and have popular styles in stock, as well as baseboards, underlayment and leveler. I purchased and installed Karndean Korlock LVT from Paradise, it's top notch, looks fabulous and easy to install. The click systems is easy to work with and doesn't break like the ones on the flooring from the big box stores. Karndean is my favorite over the other brands I've installed, which include Paradigm, Pergo, LifeProof, and a couple other brands I can't remember that I picked up form the big box store. Whatever brand or style you choose, Paradise Flooring will take care of you and your flooring needs. read more

My wife and I decided to seek out new flooring for our home up in Laie and through yelp put together a list of a dozen flooring providers. My conversation with Lance at Paradise Flooring stood out from the others both in terms of his expertise and knowledge of product as well as his interest and caring for the project at hand. We hired them and that interest and caring did not wane throughout the entire process. I joked with Lance that I should pay him as a contractor because he coordinated both the installing of the floor as well as the tile in the bathrooms via two different providers. In short, I don't think I could've done this without his help. The result is stunning! See pics below. I would recommend working with Paradise Flooring to anybody who asks. read more

Paradise Flooring should be at the top of everyone's list when looking for new flooring. When we first started browsing for ideas for our remodel, we started with flooring because quality flooring can so easily elevate the look and feel of a space. As parents of twin terrors, oops I mean treasures, we also wanted flooring that was safe for kids, as well as safe from kids. It was very important for us to have non-toxic materials because our young children sleep on beds that are low to the floor. We also wanted something durable and practical that could withstand the daily stress of said children. This is where Paradise Flooring comes in. The owner, Lance, instantly puts you at ease as he is very knowledgeable, friendly and takes time to answer various questions. His staff also guided us through the process of ordering and purchasing, which went very smoothly and became the easiest part of the whole remodel. We compared flooring samples from various places, and we could easily pick out which samples came from Paradise each time due to the quality and appearance. We decided on the Aquarius Small Leaf Acacia vinyl flooring, which has a rich, warm tone that is vibrant yet tranquil, and so pleasing to the eye. We have neutral wall colors with primarily gray/greige undertones and the flooring looks gorgeous against it. We're incredibly pleased with the level of service and guidance we received, which is missing from interactions with a lot of vendors these days. We've gotten a lot of compliments on our floors, to which we respond, "You need to go to Paradise". read more

We browsed many flooring shops, but the quality and prices at Paradise Flooring is the best. We worked with Nelson and he was very attentive, helpful and patient with us. We ended up choosing Karndean Washed Grey Ash and were given samples to make sure it worked in our home. It is also nice that they give a military discount and the particular product we chose was in stock, including matching stair nosing and trim. We were able to get started on our project right away, and are so happy with how our floors turned out. Depending on the lighting, it looks more grey or taupe/greige - which we like. read more

Paradise Flooring is the BEST! We were redoing our flooring as we were getting ready for the birth of our daughter and this was all happening during the "Stay Home Order" of the pandemic. Lance and Dan were great help and very accommodating in making sure the visit to their showroom was as safe as possible... Dan even offered to drop off flooring samples to our house. The process of choosing our flooring took some time as we were looking for something waterproof and more durable aka baby-proof. Lance and Dan provided us with a lot of samples to choose from and information to ensure we made the best decision. Lance's background as a civil engineer is a plus, as he even explained the specifications of the flooring we were looking at. They did not upsell and just wanted to provide the product that would be best for what we needed. We ended up going with laminate (Swiss Krono - Ivory Oak) for the living room, dining room, and kitchen and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) for the bedrooms. All the flooring turned out great and we are happy with how everything looks and feels. Would definitely recommend anyone to go to them for any flooring needs! read more

Paradise Flooring is paradise in so many ways. Customer service is unreal. Lance listened to our needs and suggested products to help make our dream home a reality. He had so many ideas and explained them in layman's terms for us non contractors who have never been to a flooring store. We explained to Lance what our lifestyle needs were and he suggested a layer under the flooring for the second floor to minimize the pitter patter. We also told him we were looking for vinyl to last over the years from the pitter patter and the choices were endless! Their showroom is stocked with so. many. options. Every type imaginable....and many you never knew existed. Want gray? They have 50+ shades (gotta give credit to Lance...that's his joke). They literally have everything you could possibly need when it comes to flooring and all housed in a tidy warehouse with convenient parking and hours. He worked with our contractor and was able to get our order to our door in a week for comparable to what we'd pay at the leading discount warehouse (*ahem) but with a FAR better product. He is on top of it when it comes to communication both with us and our contractor. The process of choosing items for our house has been overwhelming and Paradise Flooring was the ONE place that made things so simple and easy and we appreciate Lance so much! We couldn't be happier with Paradise Flooring. read more

Paradise flooring was absolutely exceptional to work with as they were able to find the exact type of flooring for our house when other local flooring companies were not able to help us. But best of all, their people working at their store were outstanding, especially Mary - she was helpful, responsive and great to work with the entire time! Paul read more

We got our flooring for our kitchen from a very large chain hardware store. When we did the rest of the house we got it from Paradise Flooring. Both were DIY projects for me. Everyday I see the difference in quality between the two side by side. Paradises flooring is thicker and more sound absorbing. It feels better under my feet if that makes sense. As for installation, I did both myself. The chain store flooring was a PITA to lock together and keep together. Paradise was so much easier to do by myself. In short-better quality and easier install. read more

We were looking to replace carpet flooring in our condo and get Luxury Vinyl Tile. I had set up an appointment through Yelp and explained what we were interested in and what building our condo is in. When we arrived, Dan and Lance were prepared and already looked into our building requirements. It seems they supplied another project in our same building. I appreciated their preparation and it showed they are true professionals. Both Dan and Lance were very friendly, informative, patient and helpful. We felt no pressure and didn't feel rushed. Picking out flooring can be overwhelming with the variety of choices and Dan took his time to find out what we wanted before pitching any products. He also explained in detail what each product's benefits are. There are definitely distinct differences so you want someone to explain properly so you know what you are getting. You can tell when someone knows what they are talking about and Dan and Lance KNOW what they are talking about. If you are looking to replace your flooring, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Paradise Flooring. read more

Thank you to Lance who helped us select the perfect flooring for our home! As a LEED professional in the design industry, I appreciate the quality and sustainability of his product lines and the fact that it was affordable. He also worked with our installer to navigate them through a successful installation. They have something for every style and budget. If you don't know where to start, this is a great place to go. read more

This seems to be a family run business my first experience was good staff was friendly helpful and informative but never followed up with finding out about product availability :( Second experience was much better (hence the 4 star rating) an older gentleman seemed very sincere and professional and went out of his way to help in anyway . I found a few vinyl I am contemplating on getting. I like the older gent and the business seems like a legit and professional operation. read more

Mary found us the perfect laminate flooring. Royal Kia. We are so happy with it. Thank you Mary

Needed to replace our toilet and decided to replace the flooring at the same time. Lance took the time to explain the differences in the various waterproof LVT they carry and recommended Metroflor in the Lanikai color to match my home's mid century/modern design. He had enough in stock that we were able to take it home that day. After installing, all I can say is WOW. The flooring totally changed the look and feel of the bathroom! At first with the toilet being the priority, we came in not caring much about what flooring we used, but it made all the difference and now, no one even notices we changed the toilet. Thank you to Lance and his team for their patience and helping us navigate through so many flooring options. Most importantly, I felt the sincerity and honesty in all their recommendations, and never felt like it was a sales pitch. Planning to redo my living room floor next year and will be back to Paradise Flooring. read more

I can't recommend Paradise Flooring enough! When I walked in it was a bit intimidating, you need to walk through the warehouse, but when you get to the show room there are samples everywhere. If you are looking for flooring of any kind besides carpet, (who wants carpet?) it's there! I've gone the Home Depot route. Their flooring is Okay. BUT, its not as good. The flooring that Paradise Flooring supplied was so much easier to install! You get what you pay for! I'll never go back to Home Depot! The folks that work at Paradise Flooring are super nice and helped me with every question I had. They made my decisions so easy! Look, style, Sq. footage, they had all the answers! I'll say again, they seem to have everything available and they made it super easy. I can't recommend Lance and his crew enough! read more

We were in the process of a new build/remodel for our home. We had looked at many other flooring stores. None compare to what we experienced at Paradise Flooring. Excellent customer service provided by Nelson. He asked us what we were looking for, what our needs were and provided us with recommendations for our vinyl flooring. We ended up choosing Karndean Korlok in Kona Koa for the new build and Texas White Ash for the existing remodel. We had a few bumps along the way with our contractor and installation process, but Nelson was there to correct what needed to be done to install our floors properly. He took the time to make sure all that needed to be done went smoothly. I have also had visits with the rest of the staff Dan and Mary, who also provided great customer service. Everyone that I have come into contact with at Paradise Flooring were very helpful and attentive. We are extremely happy with the results! Our flooring is beautiful, and the process from start to finish with their staff was stress free-which is so important while in the middle of a new build/remodel of your home. Paradise Flooring provides the best customer services and a quality product. We will always recommend to anyone looking to get their flooring needs here. read more

I own a few investment properties and recently needed to do a remodel on kitchen and bathroom in an apartment. The original flooring was linoleum and called up Lance, the owner of Paradise Flooring for advice. He advised that based on the way the apartment is configured and that it's a rental I should go with something very durable like Luxury Vinyl. He had suggested a color that matched my vision for the kitchen and bathroom and would be a good contrast to the wood laminate flooring that covers the rest of the unit. Lance was also very helpful in coordinating with me over the phone despite living in the Bay Area. He sent me various options, colors, and was able to get it in my contractor's hands in a very short time frame. He also accepted a return for unused boxes which was also very helpful. His price was fantastic especially when compared to a similar price point at Home Depot or Lowe's. read more

Nelson helped us order luxury vinyl plank and was very helpful with suggestions. He was very professional and thorough and not at all pushy. We appreciated his patience and expertise and ended up buying 1400 sq ft of LVP from him. We will return to Paradise Flooring when we do tiling. read more

My contractor recommended Maru Flooring to us because they sell Inovar laminate flooring. Inovar claims to be super water resistant, and #1 in Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia. My husband likes it because it was not too difficult to install and great quality! Today i came down to Maru because we needed transition pieces and 3/4" round moldings. I honestly didn't know what i was looking for, but with the help of the staff i got what i needed and was out of there in less than 10 min! 2 guys helped me. One helped me get the exact pieces i needed and packed it up and even loaded it into my car! The other guy (Wally) took care of my payment and also checked on some information i requested! Both men provided me with exceptional customer service and were friendly! The return policy is 30 days with a receipt and in original condition. I would definitely recommend anyone to Maru who is looking to replace their flooring! read more

I WANT TO SHARE OUR EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH PARADISE FLOORING! I have a smaller home that needed about 800 sq feet of flooring installed~but was treated as though I needed 8000 sq feet! Lance Takehara was kind, professional, fair and knowledgeable in ALL of his products. He spent hours with me at their showroom to make sure that I was getting the perfect floors that would work for my home and that I was sure to love and be happy with!! Skip the "big box" stores and do yourself a favor.....go to Paradise Flooring instead! You will be happy with the selection, price and customer service you will receive!! Aloha, Bridget N. read more

Possibly the best flooring shop on the island. We recently decided to take on the task of doing a complete renovation of our condo and needed to balance our budget between all areas. As a beginner, we initially planned for higher end appliances, furniture, kitchen cabinets and countertops, etc. I mean, flooring could be had on the cheap with prices starting at $1.50 at Home Depot, right? Thankfully we took a chance and stopped by Paradise Flooring. With COVID happening, it was difficult to get an in-person consultation with anyone in this industry. But on our first visit, there was owner Lance working in his shop and despite it being a bit busy, he still courteously gave us a full breakdown on what we were up against. The depth of his knowledge was remarkable. He was very respectful and took his time explaining/teaching us the significant role that qualify floors play in a home. We had originally wanted a budget friendly grey tone but were given the time to make the right choice. Lance actually recommended that we wait until the right time in the reno process before pulling the trigger. There were multiple trips to Paradise where we played around with various samples that matched the changing overall palette of our new home. Each visit there, he welcomed us in like old friends. No rush, no sales pitch, no pressure. The ideal customer service provided as one can only dream of. The price was higher than the other lower end options available at the big name shops but in terms of cost vs quality, the total value gained just can't be beat. We ended up with a more natural soft wood color, with hints of brown, grey and yellow. The texture is wonderful on our feet. After a few weeks now of living on them, we couldn't be happier with our decision for the Karndean planks. It is always the first thing visitors comment on when they visit.

I was looking for quality flooring products for my home renovation, but didn't want to go through Home Depot. Lance's warehouse has a variety of stocked vinyl for selection and was able to connect me with a carpet store (and physically met me there) to pick out carpet the same day. He made himself available after-hour for all the questions I had and provided comparison sheets on products offered. My flooring project was completed flawlessly and I cannot be happier with the flooring I chose! read more

Paradise Flooring has a great selection of flooring to meet your needs! I settled on the Karndean LVT, which was recommended by Dan to meet my preferences. He was so knowledgeable and fun to do business with! I have had my floors for two weeks and they look great. Highly recommend them! read more

It was a pleasure working with Lance and his team at Paradise on updating our home with Swiss Krono laminate floors. We visited their showroom multiple times, and not knowing anything about flooring, they provided us so much education in the design process. They have a wide selection of flooring options from laminate to tile and vinyl, available immediately and at very affordable prices- we were pleasantly surprised as we were originally considering just purchasing off the shelf at Home Depot. Now that our project is complete, we are super pleased with the high quality, durability, and affordability of the Swiss-made floor we chose, and have gotten many compliments from our guests! Most of all, the team is so friendly, providing us with excellent customer service start to finish and even following-up to ensure our satisfaction after it was complete. I highly recommend everyone to check out Paradise Flooring! read more
