I would not recommend this company.
What should've been a straightforward flooring project turned into months of delays, poor workmanship, repeated repairs, and ongoing flooring failures.
We hired Urban Floors to refinish our existing wood floors and install new carpet. The project manager arrived over an hour late to our consultation after both myself and the office manager repeatedly called him to wake him up. He assured us the floors could be refinished. After waiting more than a month, I pointed out to the installer that I believed the flooring was engineered wood and could not be refinished. He confirmed I was correct. This mistake should've been caught during the original assessment.
As a result, we had to wait for replacement flooring to be ordered, delaying our move-in and forcing us to live around an unfinished project.
The installation itself was problematic. The boards under our kitchen table immediately bowed at the seams. We were told the floor would "settle," but it never did. The project manager was difficult to work with throughout the process, including missed details, repeated lateness, and delays in ordering materials needed for repairs.
After months of follow-up, they finally sent someone out to repair the floor, which made it even worse. The installer left blood on our floor, created larger gaps, and left raised joints with sharp edges. We have small children and had to cover parts of our brand-new floor with rugs while waiting for the company to return.
The carpet near our basement stairs was left unfinished. Caulking in multiple areas was done so poorly that we had to fix portions ourselves. After paying for professional installation, we should not have had to spend our own time correcting basic finishing work.
After additional complaints, another installer informed us that the subfloor was uneven and that the flooring would likely continue separating and bowing. The subfloor issue was never addressed and we were told to cover the problem areas with rugs.
The repeated repair attempts caused damaged requiring us to have cabinets and trim repainted. When we requested reimbursement for those costs, we were met with resistance rather than accountability.
Today, the floor still has separating joints and bowing in multiple areas and continue to get worse. After months of delays, repeated repair attempts, property damage, safety concerns, unfinished work, and unresolved defects, we have lost confidence in the company and need to hire another contractor to correct the work. read more
