I was recommended the company through a friend and when I initially visited the store had a very good impression of the sales person V. He seemed knowledgeable and took the time to show me various floors and had answers to all my questions. I instantly trusted him which is why my disappointment later was greater.
I was specifically looking for vinyl floors as I have a senior dog that often has accidents. V said there are waterproof laminate as well and that he would show me what they have and I should focus on the quality of the floor instead of vinyl vs laminate (European being the best) Most of the floors I liked were out of stock so I went with my 4th favorite (laminate). Everything was smooth at the beginning.
When I went to see the floors in my new apartment, I saw the box of flooring and to my surprise it had no mention of it being waterproof ... There were few issues along the way so I got concerned and contacted the manufacture directly instead of Phoenix Flooring. The response was that it was not waterproof nor water resistant and that they would NOT recommend their product for my purpose ... It was shocking and totally puzzling. Why would they recommend something completely opposite to what I am looking for and specifically indicated as priority? I was truly disappointed but I was moving in on Dec. 20, 2020 and it will take weeks to order new floors and arrange for installation which was simply not an option for me.
On top of this, in one of the rooms they installed the floors in a different direction as to what I asked for. When I called V, he said the installers thought that would look better ... The direction of the floor did not make sense at all and most importantly, there were no discussion with me that they will lay it differently than what I requested for. It was however corrected.
They were 3 days late from the initial deadline set which meant I had to move in and deal with the noise and dust for the first few days which I was not happy about.
I would like to note that the contractors were all pleasant, worked hard and did a good job.
But it is also important to note that there were at least 6 contractors (demolition, leveling, floor installers) + V going in and out that had keys to my place so you need to be aware of that. (keys going around the contractors)

Although the floors are beautiful, my overall experience was rather disappointing. read more
