Proline flooring is a company that entered this business a year ago after 5 years of experience working daily in this field. Our company is specialized in vinyl, laminate, engineered, hardwood, and baseboards. We can also do stairs, ceilings, and walls with these materials listed. This company ensures profesionalism in every detail. Our focus is quality not quantity!

"I'll probably give them 3 stars for the job that they did. The cost was in line with other companies, they did the stairs in a day for 6 hours but unfortunately when you look at the job it's not completed, there were some damages too, and the other main thing was there should have been caulking done on the stairs there's a gap between the baseboards and the floor. The stairs looks good but when you look at the detail it wasn't good. The customer service was not good either and I have to finish the job my self. I could not recommend them because they didn't do the service that's why I cannot give Proline a good review. He forgot to tell me between the gap and the floor, I should have been told about the imperfection. I do have pictures of what they did and when compared after I fixed the problem, it's totally different."
