My experience with the floor store was awful. We had such a terrible time communicating with them. They gave us the run-around and it was impossible to move forward with our project. They're WAY overpriced. We worked with them to try to get the project started for three weeks then gave up. They wanted 100% of our money before the project even began. We ended up going through Whole Wood in San Carlos for our hardwood and we worked with Rolando Lopez at Pure Wood Flooring to complete the project. They were amazing! No joke, we got more done in one day with them than three weeks with the Floor Store. Stay far away from the Floor Store unless you want overpriced material and slow, ineffective communication. read more

Had a good experience with The Floor Store. My new floor was installed properly by experienced, hygienic, and professional people. Floor Store installers were prompt, on time and respectful of my time. None of their employees smoked on my property, which was gratefully appreciated. Trim was cut well and installed correctly. Trim was correctly installed even in difficult areas in the kitchen. My floor looks good. read more

I recently replaced the carpet in my unit and Sherif at The Floor Store in San Carlos was extremely helpful throughout the process. He took the time to walk me through the carpet options and helped me find something that worked well for the space. He also helped coordinate the installation during Christmas week, which I know can be a difficult time to schedule work. Everything was arranged smoothly and the installation went exactly as planned. Great customer service and a very smooth experience overall. I'd happily recommend working with Sherif. read more

We worked with Sherif at The Floor Store in San Carlos for a tile replacement project and had a great experience. Sherif made the process very easy by quickly setting up the initial appointment and coordinating the onsite visit to take measurements. The installation went smoothly and the tile work turned out great. What I appreciated most was that Sherif followed up after the installation to make sure everything looked right and that we were happy with the result. Professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Sherif for flooring or tile projects. read more

I used the Costco sponsored program for the second time and once again, the experience was wonderful ! I ordered my kitchen flooring from The Floor Store and last week I ordered carpet. Kristen was my salesperson both times and she is very knowledgeable and easy to work with with no sales pressure! Sergio and Brian were my installers and they worked so hard for 10 hours with a perfect "seamless" install. Thank you to the whole team for making my house look so refreshed and cozy again with beautiful carpet :) read more

Keith Goddin had helped me with a small project before and I was confident and happy to work with him again on my living room/dining room floors. As ever, he was gracious and helpful, guiding me to replacement for 40yr+ flooring. He clarified not only product info but also installation protocol and procedure. Guillermo and Sergio carefully moved furniture, worked efficiently, kept workspace pristine. They were punctual, courteous, very professional. read more

Go see Sherif Awad! Our experience with Sherif was great! Best customer service from start to finish. I highly recommend. He made our daunting carpet shopping experience so easy. He provided us with plenty of samples to take home. He is a no pressure salesperson. From our first visit, the whole process was complete with install within 2 weeks. I also have to give a 5 start review to their installers, they did a great job, they were fast, clean and courteous. Also, I thought our carpets were in decent shape until I brought the samples home and placed them next to our old carpet, boy was I wrong, gross! We are so happy with our new carpets. read more

We've used the Floor Store in San Carlos two different times. The first time was to replace all our old floors throughout the house with vinyl flooring. The job done was excellent - it is now about 4 years and the floors still look new. Vinyl is easy to keep clean and our housekeepers love to make them look nice. The second time we used them was about 3 months ago when we removed our old standalone fireplace and its base, and replaced that whole section with the matching vinyl that we bought from them. The work done was excellent - the workers knew what they were doing and cleaned up everything when they were finished. As far as value is concerned, we felt that the price was right. We worked with Keith, such a fine English salesman, and I would always recommend him especially!! read more

Great selection of competitively priced porcelain tile (and other flooring) and also offer free design consultation. My consultant Hiba was super helpful! Will definitely go there for any future flooring needs! read more

I went to The Floor Store a few years ago and absolutely love the service and the floors I purchased. Unfourtnaly we had a flood in my home and I need to replace all of it plus i decided to do my enitre house with hardwood floors. I have called the San Carlos store since last November asking them to please look up my order and that I would need to order about 2700 sq, a nice big order! I called several times and the same Sales Person never follows through, so I left a message for the Salesperson that helped me orgianlly and she was promotoed to their corporate headqurters. She was great, but left her a message explaining the bad service and that I wanted to purchase and was ready. Never once got a call back from her either! So I went to the new Burlingame Store and same thing! I prefer to purchase from Family Owned business and be a loyal customer. In this case, it is very sad no one cared enough. I never write negative Yelp reviews becasue I dont feel it is fair to hurt a business, but my reason for me to do this is in hopes that the owner Mr. Flick will see this and rectified this situation. Even on their website you cannot contact Corporate office or him. read more

It happened again! For the second time in five years the "Made in China" LVP flooring The Floor Store sold me turned blue. Unbelievable! BTW These aren't the same photos, these are photos of the newer flooring along side photos of the first flooring. The first LVP flooring that turned blue, see my previous review, was made by COREtec a Shaw company. The second LVP flooring is made by ScratchMaster, a totally different manufacturer. What these two companies have in common I later found out is it's made in China. It's either a made in China problem or they're selling factory seconds at full price? Again I reported the problem with The Floor Store manager and was told she would contact the ScratchMaster sales rep. Not surprisingly, the store manager didn't return my voicemails or emails after she said she would look into it. After they sell you this "made in China" junk you're on your own. There's absolutely no customer service after they make the sale. If you're lucky and complain enough, they may offer you the same low quality junk and you cover all the labor cost. Sure, do that every couple of years. What's the point? If you're looking for a flooring store selling made in China or factory seconds with no customer service when something goes wrong, this is your flooring store. Never again, you've been warned read more

Sherif and the FloorStore team really came through for me on a quick turn around project. I was able to work with Sherif and his team to select and install new carpet in less than a week.

I had a wonderful experience purchasing beautiful Coretec flooring as part of a Costco service. From start to finish the team I worked with was responsive knowledgeable, and wanted the best result to best fit my renovated kitchen. The pricing was in line with the great quality of product I received, and the service from everyone from the initial sales meeting with Kristen to the installers Walter and his supervisor, Josque! My satisfaction was the heart of their installation, and we ran into a baseboard issue, and it was resolved with the best solution and the nicest product, which made my kitchen really stand out. I would not hesitate to use this company again; the installers really cared about the work they did in my kitchen, which made me a very happy customer ! Thank you again to Walter for all his patience & EXPERTISE !Your hard work was very much appreciated:) read more

Working with Keith and the Floor Store was an excellent experience. We installed a mix of flooring and carpets in our house, and he has very deep expertise in both, which proved to be very helpful in making our choices. He even came to our house to check that the contractor doing some preparation work on our stairs was doing that work properly. We knew this was going to be a complicated project, and we looked around for a while to find someone we wanted to work with. Keith provided all the service we could have hoped for in this project. read more

Due to an installation issue, the Store Manager made a commitment that the corporate office did not back up. After getting the run around (everyone at corporate was either out of the office, out sick, on vacation, at another store, etc) for 3 months, When we finally got feedback from corporate, it was a take it or leave it offer that was much less than the original commitment. We still never spoke to anyone at the corporate office, despite sending an explanatory letter to the owner. End result, we took them to small claims and prevailed. read more

The guys who came in to install or floors did a spectacular job! They were absolutely professional and very attentive to every detail. They took extra steps to level the foundation so there would not be an issue with installing the floors. With all the extra work they had to do they still finished the project in the expected time. They were always on time and very flexible as I work from home. The finished product is better than we hoped for. read more

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get beyond selecting a countertop option and getting a quote. Was told quartz slabs from a few specific manufacturers were $1900-2200 per slab. I took home some samples from those brands and selected one. Returned a few days later on a Friday during their Memorial Day weekend sale with kitchen measurements and the selected option, ready to put a deposit down and get the work scheduled. I was surprised to then learn that the slab option we selected was $5000, not the approx $2k I was originally told. The salesperson said he would call the distributer to confirm the price and call me back on Tuesday. Tuesday comes and goes with no call, so I stop by the next day. The sales guy says he just heard back from the distributer and the slabs are $5k (he did claim to be trying to get the price down, but it was too little too late.) After taking time off work and making three visits to this location, I've lost trust in doing business with this company and will need to start over with another local counter businesses. Ironic too that I was given a brochure while I was there about their "diamond status" based on how many great reviews they have. read more

Initially when I went in, I appreciated that Jory left me alone to shop. He was very knowledgeable and explained the differences between type and price. He came out to measure our place which seemed fine. But there was very little updates or contact after that. I had to continuously reach out to get an answer regarding when the carpet was arriving. Jory basically said it was now in the hands of the installer and that was the last I heard from him. The actual installers were great but come to find out that it was not measured correctly. This process has been very tiring because my husband and I have not been able to move into our home for about 3 1/2 weeks. Then this happens and now we have to repeat this waiting process. So the waiting game begins again and when we reached out to Jory, there is still no answer. So now to wait another 3-4 weeks and we still cannot fully move in. This has been such a long process. Considering how much we paid, I would only recommend this place because of the installers or if you like living out of boxes and being uncomfortable. Not worth the poor customer service or the time. read more

Last year I bought a home whose previous owners had exquisite taste. I only needed to update one thing--their bedroom carpet, which had been much loved by two adults and their dog. The dog left large spots, which I wasn't in love with. As a Redwood Shores dweller, I'd passed The Floor Store for years. I decided to take a look. I was soon met by Keith, who--upon hearing my challenges, was eager (but not greedy) to help. I liked his style, and while I loved the pattern of my former homeowners' carpet was not willing to buy the silk/wool blend they'd invested in. Keith understood my goals and reservations, and quickly found me a cost-effective, high-quality alternative that had a pattern very close to the former owners' carpet. Long story short, it was the perfect fit. Keith nailed it. On top of that, the installers were excellent. Because it was a horizontal stripe, the placement at the doorways had to be perfect. They understood and delivered. Carpet seems expensive. But you need to buy the highest quality, such as that at The Floor Store. Trust me, it's worth it. Especially because of its detail-oriented customer service, such as that offered by Keith and his team, I'm overjoyed every time I walk into my new bedroom. read more

The name of this store is appropriately "the floor store" because it has everything and anything you could possibly put on a floor. I was so impressed with the spaciousness of the store, the very friendly service people and the ease of which they let me shop by myself but we're always willing to answer any questions and provide samples. I picked out a very high end wide plank vinyl Instead of going with hardwood. You can get anything here for your floor! read more

Keith in sales is a treasure. Not only does he know his product, he's funny and great to work with. It's too bad that the installation department is so horrible. Not only does it take forever to get an installation done, the installer that showed up at my house with filthy quarter round he want to install on my floor decided that being informed about this was "not my fault." When asked to go ahead and just install the rest of the flooring and leave the quarter round off for a future solution his answer was to pack up and leave the site without fulfilling his responsibility to install the flooring. I was made to pre-pay for this install and waited over a month. And the service manager was sure to inform me that this was all my fault. I was told that the installer "did not feel comfortable "doing the installation. Yes, we all need to be comfortable doing our jobs. We should not be made to take responsibility for something under our control like not bringing out contaminated product to a site. Apparently, with the installation department, everything is either the fault of the client or the fault of the warehouse. * RE owner's comment below: apparently bringing attention to damaged product. the installer brought to the site and refused to take responsibility for is inappropriate behavior. Rather than address the concern, the installer refused to respond and began loading his tools back in his truck without a word. After abandoning the project, they have failed to refund my $1600 prepaid installation cost. They are in violation of their own contract. read more

The store offers a lot of great flooring solutions to choose from. As soon as I walk into the Store, I am greeted by friendly staffers. All staffers are responsive and helpful in answering questions any time that I have them. They also give me plenty of time to look around and think of what I need and like. I have had the privilege of especially working with Keith over quite a number of visits to the store. Keith is very knowledgeable, experienced, patient with my particular constraints, and insightful in helping me better understand and navigate my thinking and selection process. Ultimately, Keith and Floor Store are dependable partners providing high quality expertise, guidance, and solution fulfilling my flooring requirements! read more

We have had carpet installed today. Our sales rep Laurie DeJong has helped us through a rather difficult course in getting the right carpet and permits from our condo to install and has worked with us so well with our schedule being from out of town. Today, with the installation, Jose and Adam worked so well and diligently to get it done, very courteous and careful and cleaned up after and took very good care of our condo. They were first rate. I recommend the San Carlos CA Floor Store and the company installation and particularly the individuals mentioned above. read more

When we walked in the store, were initially contacted by a very helpful, but new employee, Sherif. Sherif showed us what we asked for, but is in training, so wasn't able to answer some of our technical questions. He then brought another person, Keith, to speak with us. Keith was so rude that he must not need business. I held my hand out and introduced myself - which he shook but did not provide his name. Keith did not want to sell us what we asked for (carpet) and argued with me about we needed. We tried to explain that we had carpet that held up well in the area before, but he was unable to listen to any explanations, and was entirely adamant that it wouldn't work. I just thanked him and walked out. I guess he thought I was an uniformed person. But actually I do know what I am talking about and any business that our commercial construction business could have sent his way is now a moot point. read more

Our initial visit to The Floor Store came after different alternate quotes ranging from nearly inking the deal with an independent "floor guy" recommended by our general contractor. It turned out he wouldn't provide a contract because of issues with his former partner. This forced me to pull licensing information etc. despite our trust in the GC. Other quotes were from folks who literally came to our house, inspected and measured every inch and then we never heard back from them. It's a daunting experience as others may understand. I heard of Floor Store from their sincere advertising from their owner (may be a good marketing position) however it at least drew us into interest. I called, left a message to a general mailbox purposely to see how quickly they would respond and how they would respond. In one day, Scott Sanders called me and said, "how can we help?". I told him we are looking at 1000+ sq ft of hardwood flooring and not sure what we wanted. He said he was available during XX hours and to come in to talk through options. Long story short, we engaged with them but of course, chose a floor that was on backorder for weeks because of shipping delays. Scott called, emailed and may have even sent a note via pigeon if he had to when there were possible delays. All the way down to the transition boards and trimming which all came in at different times. He knew communication was key. At one point, we even came to the store on his day off and Keith back him up like we were his sale. The collaboration and environment that existed lowered the stress level which is needed when spending such an investment of time and money. We are both in sales, insurance and real estate. I say this because I think our level of expectations are a little higher as we know what it's like to serve folks who are embarking on major purchases. There was one day of delay in installation and I sent a very frank email. Jennifer called me within the hour (Scott's day off), apologized for the delay and assured me that this would be prioritized. It was. They were there at 7:30a every day until the job was done. The attention to detail all the way to the caulking was remarkable. I know there are situations where things go wrong whether in our control or not. It's not those times we are centered; it's how one responds when something goes awry. In every situation, each person came through for us. We cannot be happier with the process and installation. If you're on the fence with who to choose, I highly recommend Scott and all who were involved. Life is short and unpredictable. Get the floors. read more

*Edit 1 to 3 star: Jennifer, manager of the store, reached out fairly quickly to issue apologies and take responsibility for the mishaps. They did issue a refund which takes care of that issue. I do believe they have a great selection of products and I wish I had a better experience with the service but it is what it is. Ultimately lost time, was frustrated with ONE member and I cannot fault the entire store itself. Just purely out of principle I just needed some accountability. As a store, my advice would be to make it easier to route to management or another associate to make sure lapses in communication don't occur. A simple, "working on it" or a one line update from the associates also would be enough to know that our orders were not completely forgotten.* I wanted to like this store and generally liked the selection they had on offer but the service started great and ended at abysmal. The issue is that we were GHOSTED after paying for a service which was to measure to home to assess how much hardwood we'd need to order. Gordon initially was very helpful and we moved forward with the process however once we paid and had our home measured it went dead silent for over a month. Knowing his schedule, since he told us, I waited for his workdays to call back and check on the measurements but he never picked up his office extension nor his cell listed on his business card. I did this once a week until the benefit of the doubt was lost. Interestingly I call in one day and the desk tells me he is with a client and to leave a voicemail... which I did. No reply again. I call in another day and he's out of the office, someone is at his desk and says there is a note to call me... who knows how long it has been there. At this point it's over a month as you can see from the picture. He emails me and says he wasn't sure what number was on file when that is NOT the case... he's called me before and also recited the number back on email... literally he did not try. He apologizes and, well, frankly it's too late but it's something. At this point I say okay it's fine as long as you send me the quantities/measurements... he does not respond or send me anything. I don't understand what went wrong and it was like pulling teeth to order a sizeable amount of wood from this store... we are remodeling whole home and it would've been a big order so I just don't understand. We eventually went with someone else who sorted us out within two days. Lost for words and really disappointed. Looking at other reviews it seems service was a recurring issue. read more

Quite a transformation!! Thank you, Fredrick Alexander. We like to decorate for Christmas. :) Thanks to the timeliness of your process and team, we pulled this off just in time for extended decoration with the holiday season. We like to have it up just after Thanksgiving to enjoy for the entirety of December. We accomplished the tight timeline to pull off Christmas and New Years. My absolute compliments ... this all truly felt like 100% service from end to end! Thanks so much to Angel and his son for such care, detail, patience, cleanliness, precision with the installation of our engineered hardwood. They are truly an asset and invaluable partner to work with on hardwood installation. His extra detail on the baseboards and flow/grain of flooring is above and beyond. He treated the project like it was his own home. My compliments to Patrick on measuring and advice provided! Fredrick Alexander, thanks for your guidance at the time just after measuring. I didn't need more boxes ordered for extra which I was contemplating. I have 4 complete boxes and 3/4 of another, in the instance I need a patch or workaround of another small project impacting the floor. You could have sold me extra wood if you really wanted to, and you didn't jack me/take advantage of my lack of education with this. I came out with the perfect amount of extra flooring. Happy Holidays!! read more

The end result looks good and appears to be able to even withstand the beating my two young sons give it. read more
