Flooring Genius, Inc.

I had been thinking about replacing the dark hardwood flooring in my house ever since I moved into it three years ago.  I finally got around to doing it this year.  Kevin, the owner of Flooring Genius, happens to be my neighbor.  Despite hearing great reviews from some of my other neighbors about the quality of his work, I insisted on bidding the job out to a few contractors I found on Angie's List.  I nailed down what I thought was a good price and then I told Kevin the job was his if he would match it.  He ended up beating it by a little bit and pointed out a few items that the other contractors had missed (i.e. the need for a special molding for the stairs) which would have ended up increasing the cost of the job a few hundred dollars.  Kevin is an authorized distributor for Kahrs so I ended up ordering my flooring directly through him.  We scheduled an installation date a couple weeks later.  Since the existing floor needed to be removed, the job was expected to take four days.  Kevin showed up on a Monday and set about ripping out the floor.  He and his assistant literally spent the next three days cutting the old floor out and pulling it off the concrete.  Since the original floor was glued down, there was no easy way to do it.  I think Kevin underestimated just how much work it would take because it took a couple days longer than he originally thought.  Once he finally got the old floor out, the rest of the installation went pretty smoothly.  What is clear from his work is that Kevin is absolutely obsessed with the details.  He spent a lot of time making sure the floors were perfectly straight.  He pointed out that the prior installer didn't level the stairs.  Rather than just let it be, he spent the extra time fixing it to make it right.  He also showed me a few other corners the previous installer cut.  I had no idea how complicated it is to install floors.  The job was finally completed on Saturday.  Even though it ended up going over, Kevin stood by his original price.  He never once mentioned any extra cost despite what was clearly more work than he anticipated.  The finished product is gorgeous.  Everybody who comes to my house always says how great the floor looks.  I could not be happier with Kevin and his work and I wholeheartedly recommend him.
