Paid $10k for LVP in our home.
Dishonesty - Zach Rose, salesperson, repeatedly emphasized that the people who install the floors are employees of Refloor. This was very valuable to us. See below for a description of the third party contractors Refloor hired to install our floors.
Unprofessional - when the installers showed up, they were NOT employees of Refloor. It was a team of 3 people, led by Mike Matty who has his own company and is an independent contractor who brought workers with him. Day1 we walked into our home after they had been working in it and all we could smell is cigarettes. They also left front door wide open. Idk if they actually smoked in the house, but there were burned out cigarette butts in the kitchen. Upon the conclusion of the job the installers asked that I contacted them directly if there are any issues rather than going through Refloor. That raises ethical concerns obvi.
Disrespectful - we were repeatedly told it was a 4-day job starting Tue and ending Fri. At the end of day2 the third party contractors told us they would be done on day 3. Good news right? Wrong, it became clear that they were simply rushing to get the job done and while I have no evidence to support my suspicions, I do think they were trying to get Friday off bc it was Memorial Day wknd. On Thur at 2 the installer called me and told me they'd be done by 430, so I left work early at 3pm so I would be there by 4pm. When I arrived they were far from finished and my partner also made a special 60-min trip to join me for the walkthru. We waited 2 hours then decided enough is enough and they need to come back the following day. The installers didnt like it, but at this it was 7pm and we lived 30 minutes away and had work to do at home. Installers apparently stayed at the home until 9pm rather than coming back to finish on Friday as scheduled. My partner and I were both working over 60 hours a week & they wasted 4hrs of both our time.
Poor installation quality - floor is bubbling in 7 different places. They told me to wait 21days and see if anything changes. It only got worse over the following month so they sent out same installer to fix it. 1 of the 7 issues was due to water leak under bathroom floor - NOT the fault of the installers. But, they did "fix" the floor in one of the rooms & didn't put the trim back correctly. As Other 5 areas with issues - in all areas the floor is bubbling and in 1 area the planks are separating. Installer told me it's impossible to fix them, that's just how LVP is, and even mentioned that his last job was installed terribly and he doesn't care. We were never offered the option of paying extra to have our concrete leveled either, we were simply told that he couldn't do it. Zach Rose had told us we'd have the option of paying extra to have concrete leveled. They also damaged our trim upstairs.
Customer service - anytime I called the company I was transferred/passed around exactly 3 different people, explained my question or issue three different times, and rarely found a resolution.
I had to pick up quarter rounds from their warehouse and called 3 separate times to confirm that 2-3pm on a Tue would work. Each time that i called, i had to discuss this with three different people as i got transferred around (see above). When we arrived they were closed and the 2-hour drive was a complete waste of time.
Slap in the face - I had discussions with David, Customer Service Manager. He followed his script, admitted the failures, and offered us a 2% discount. So now we have flooring that appears to have been installed by Helen Keller and we feel that the company spat in our face (figuratively) after putting their cigarettes out in our kitchen (literally).
Edit: I've spoken with multiple unbiased 3rd parties who confirmed that my floors were installed poorly and that the concrete likely could've been fixed for a few hundred dollars. One of the individuals who inspected my floors also told me that Refloor is known in the industry for ethical practices and for paying people to leave five star reviews. read more
