Reviews in Nashville to Install Cork Flooring
R&S Flooring
In 1975 a previous owner of our home did a remodeling job that included adding a master bedroom off the back side of the house. Because the property slopes down from the front to the rear of the property, this bedroom is about 10 feet above ground. Underneath the bedroom is our carport. Wall-to-wall carpeting was laid throughout the main living area, including the master bedroom. Over the last several years I had taken up the carpeting in the house, everywhere except this master bedroom. Well, after 39 years, the carpet was getting pretty tired. Also, it is a good dust collector. So, we decided to replace it with a new floor. A bit of evaluation showed that installing new flooring would first require ripping out the carpet and padding, then removing the particleboard underneath. This was more work than I wanted to do on my own, so I went to Angie's List and searched for flooring companies with high ratings. Since we wanted to look at samples and go over options, we limited our choices to companies that also had a brick-and-mortar store where we could handle samples and talk about options. We looked at various floor materials, such as laminate, hardwood (e.g., oak), engineered wood, and processed wood such as stranded bamboo, and eucalyptus. We compared nail-down, glue-down, and floating. We did not want glue-down because of the chemical vapors. We settled on a floating floor, and selected stranded bamboo that has been processed to increase its density and hardness. A floating floor can also be laid over a cushioning material, such as cork, which adds insulation (both thermal and acoustic) and provides a softer feel when walked on. Two companies provided quotes for the work. Initially the two quotes were within a few hundred dollars of each other. Quote #1 was for a floating bamboo floor over a fiber underlayment. Quote #2, from R & S Flooring, was for a nail-down bamboo floor with only a moisture barrier underlayment. Since I wanted a floating floor, I leaned toward quote #1 even though it was the higher cost. However, when I reviewed the quotes, I discovered that quote #1 had miscalculated the square footage by about 20% less than actual. When I brought this to the attention of the provider, he agreed that it was wrong, and his quote went up by 20%. That put the dollar value at over $1000 more than quote #2. So, I contacted R & S Flooring and asked them if they would consider the proposition that I would buy all the material (flooring + underlayment) and they would install the flooring. R & S Flooring agreed, and they provided a new quote for the labor. They also gave me an installation date that was way sooner than I expected. Like, I ordered the flooring on the Monday after Black Friday (December 1) and they installed it on December 9. I ordered the bamboo from Cali Bamboo. They have a "standard" click-and-lock and a "wide plank" click-and-lock. The wide plank type is 5/8 inch thick, about 5 inches wide, and 72 inches long per plank. I got the wide plank. It has a 50 year warranty, by the way. The underlayment is Quiet ComfortPLUS, which is 1/8 inch cork with a bonded plastic moisture barrier. The bedroom is 376 square feet, and I bought 400 square feet of the bamboo flooring, plus 4 rolls of the cork underlayment (about 425 sq. ft.) for a total cost of $2291 in materials. I will note here that my total cost of materials plus labor ended up to be only $3900! (Remember quote #1? It was over $5000!) On December 9, the R & S Installer team showed up at 8:15am. Three men plus power saws and other tools. They set to work and in two hours, the carpet and particleboard were out of the bedroom. That amazed me. Then they began laying the new floor. The head guy and I went over the direction that I wanted the planks to go, and he showed me how the cork underlayment plastic layer had a way to overlap the plastic from one strip of underlayment to the next. The installer from R & S told me that I probably should have purchased more and that he might run out due to cutting and fitting. However, these installers were professionals, for sure, because they had enough to do the floor and give me about 5 planks for any repairs that might be needed down the road. After the floor was laid, they added quarter-round molding throughout the bedroom. They also put down two tee-molding pieces for two doorways, which I had neglected to purchase. These were provided at no extra cost, too. The entire floor installation was done by 3:15pm, about 7 hours after they started. Later that day, another crew came and picked up all the carpet and particleboard waste material. During the installation, someone from the R & S Flooring office called me to make sure that everything was going OK. A word about the installer crew. They were very professional. Nobody smoked, which was nice because my wife is allergic to tobacco smoke. Nobody yelled. They asked if it was all right to listen to music (I said it was OK), and the music was not loud when they did play it. They cleaned up after themselves. After the floor was installed, I was able to walk on it immediately, and it totally exceeds my expectations. I would not hesitate to hire R & S Flooring again if I ever need more work done

CORLEW & PERRY FLOORING, INC.
Corlew & Perry Flooring moved the furniture themselves, so I didn't have to pay a moving company. They moved the furniture from side to side so that they matched the floors. They completed the floor in parts and were able to match the floor completely. The price was on the high end of average, but that included moving the furniture

R&S Flooring
R&S sent a representative to provide us an estimate the day after we contacted them. The young man was prompt, courteous, and thorough--shared with us the measurements he had taken and explained what next steps would be. He promised the detailed estimate within 24 hours, but because we were his first call of the day, we actually received the estimate in only 8 hours. When we decided to have R&S do the work, they were able to schedule us within the next few days. A crew came on a Friday to remove three layers in the kitchen (cork, subfloor, and original parquet) and 12 x 12 ceramic tiles in the entry way and bathroom--because of the way the tiles had been installed originally, each tile had to be broken by hand. (The crew also removed bathroom fixtures--lavatory and commode.) Because of these tiles, there was a great amount of dust generated. The workmen stacked all the old materials on the side of our driveway and another crew arrived early the next morning to remove it--they did an excellent job. The crew returned on Saturday to complete installing the unfinished hardwood. A different person had to come on Monday to remove the carpeting and stairs leading to the garage; he also then installed new risers and treads. The clean-up crew returned that evening to take away refuse. We had to wait for a week for the new flooring to adjust to the environment. A different crew arrived the next Friday. They moved all the heavy furniture--they were careful and professional, covering everything after they stored it in the garage. After the sanding was complete (dustless sanding produced much less dust than the removal of the tiles had), the crew chief showed us three stains--we chose one and also selected the finish (satin, semigloss, high gloss). We were actually out of the house only two nights. They returned the next week to replace the furniture and re-install the plumbing fixtures in the bathroom. After yet another week, R&S sent a final man out to repair the few nicks the workers had made during the course of the process. All in all, R&S did a wonderful job on this project. At times there seemed to be some minor miscommunications internally, but none of them had any impact on the work being done at our home. A member of the R&S team actually came to the house to collect the initial (50% of the total) and final payments. Everyone we had any contact with was polite, courteous, and professional. They answered questions, explained the processes, and completed the work quickly and professionally. There were no surprises and no extra charges or cost-overruns. We are extremely pleased with the results--especially since their charge was more than $2000 less than the other estimates we had received. We highly recommend this company

Neuroh Hardwood Flooring
My floors look fantastic. I had a an existing golden oak finish on my old hardwoods that needed to go! Kyle and his team refinished the existing flooring and added new hardwood in my bedrooms. They recommended using a Rubio Monocoat finish. This finish was exactly what I wanted. The transition between the existing floors and the new flooring is seamless. My floors have a beautiful, soft patina but no harsh shine. I would highly recommend Kyle and his team

VERCHOTA FLOORS
In Feb 2015, I sustained water damage to my hardwood floor in the kitchen due to ice damming. I searched Angie's List for a good and reputable hardwood floor company that would repair my damaged flooring. I quickly found Verchota Floors to be at the top of the list. I contacted them and spoke with Ann and asked her if someone could come out and give me an estimate to repair the damage. Ann was very friendly and professional and within a few days, Lawrence Verchota came to my house and provided me with a written estimate. Lawrence was very friendly, punctual and professional. He told me that they could replace just the damaged floor and that there was no need to replace the entire hardwood floor. I also received estimates from two other hardwood floor companies and Verchota Floors had the lowest estimate of the 3 flooring companies. After contracting with Verchota Floors to do the work, they ordered my hardwood flooring and once it arrived in shop, they scheduled my repair with a few weeks. On the day of the repair, two workers arrived on time and within 2.5 hours, they had my old damaged floor removed and the new hardwood installed. These guys did an amazing job and the floor looks great! These guys were very friendly and professional and they cleaned up all the mess left behind from the repair work. I would highly recommend Verchota Floors to anyone looking for a good, friendly and professional hardwood floor company

There were problems with the removal of some of the flooring. The previous owners used so many nails it was difficult to pry up some of the old laminate flooring. The project took longer than anticipated. When the project was completed the floors were beautiful.

Josh and his team were on time, very carefully took up a defective floor, cleaned the older floor thoroughly and laid a new vinyl floor. He ran out of glue (manufacturer did not estimate enough) so Josh went out, got the glue and finished the job beautifully!!

They came to my home today to look at my floors. They informed me that there is a shine product already on the flooring and if they performed the cleaning and sealing, it may create the floors to look worse. They recommended not to have the service done.

I had originally got this flooring company from a local Nashville Realtor whom has used Carpet LadiesCo. for both residential and commercial flooring projects. I trust my Realtor and believe he would not steer me wrong - Overall great experience A+ Just wanted to let other single mothers know that working with Carpet Ladies Company ( a mobile flooring store ) was truly a wonderful experience. All the ladies with this company that I had contact with seemed to have the knowledge regarding my flooring products and to really care about the outcome of my project. The technical information was important to me since it was my first large flooring project of this kind and relocating to another home making so many decisions. With my hectic schedule they were able to bring me tons of laminate samples along with plenty of varieties of carpet styles. I highly recommend this company to family & friends who do not want to run around all over town or drag their kids into a flooring store. They make it real easy to buy flooring !! You don't just want to like your floors - you want to LOVE them & that's how I feel after my installation was done. My job was done on time and the installers even cleaned up their mess. This company is worth hiring again for any future project. Basically, you can buy and have installed the same flooring products sold at most retail stores for less money

Bob and his crew recently replaced the entire hardwood floor in the living room of my beautiful historic farmhouse after some joists and part of the subfloor had rotted. This was a floor that another vendor had installed as new in 2014 (prior to my owning the home), but apparently they neglected to install a moisture barrier and this part of the house has no crawlspace. Bob quickly assessed the root of the problem, provided me with advice and options and gave a fair and reasonable estimate to repair the floor. He and the crew took the floor down to the bare dirt and replaced all joists and subfloors, then installed a new, custom hardwood floor, They then sanded the rest of the existing hardwoods throughout the downstairs and re-stained and sealed everything to a gorgeous new finish. In Bob's words, they installed 'the floors this house deserves.' Their work was meticulous with both the floors and my possessions. They moved the furniture with great care, covered the kitchen cabinets in plastic throughout the project, then vacuumed, dusted, and put everything back in its original place when they were done. From start to finish, the job took only about seven working days, with the Thanksgiving holiday in the middle. These guys are friendly, professional and hard working and I cannot say enough good things about them. I highly recommend them for any flooring or remodeling project. They are truly the best

This is a follow-up to the post for 2325 Fernwood Drive I posted for 04/22/2021 in which I gave a 2 star rating. I requested a refund of 300.00 for the 1311.00 job. Buffing Brothers have complied with my request and refunded my requested 300.00. So they did do this and deserve credit for being responsive and caring about their customers satisfaction

Flavio and his team were great. Good communication, punctual and got to work fast. We had some wood floors already but wanted to replace the carpet in the downstairs with wood. He took the time to take samples of the existing wood floors to be sure to get the same wood. On the day they started they arrived when they said they would and came in and got right to work. We even got back into our house a day early which was nice. But maybe the most important thing is the floors look awesome! I'll be passing along his name to others that need wood floor work done without hesitation

From initial visit with Scott for a quote, until the job was completed everything was handled in the most professional -- yet down to earth -- manner. Upon arrival on our scheduled date and time the job went off without a hitch. Demo of old floor was quick and new floor went in with no problems at all. It was obvious that Scott, Dan, and Garek were a true team in the way they worked together. The bulk of the job was completed in less than a day. The crew came back the following morning to finish trim work and clean up. We love our floor and could not recommend anyone else for your flooring needs
