We needed to have the floor tile of our master bathroom re-done. Come to find out, we needed a new pan in the floor as well. We were told by Buffkin's that it would be $1100. We called around, got more quotes, but went back to Buffkin's. Sure, we had hoped to spend less, but it's work that needed to be done. Steve and Gene were exteremely professional, and did a terrific job. We would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We had our bathroom floor tile (and pan) replaced. It took two (2) days. One day, on a Monday, they came out and tore up the tile. That took maybe two (2) hours. The plumber came in later in the afternoon and put in the pan. The crew came back the next morning and it took about four (4) hours from start to finish.

From picking out the tile to the clean up went very smooth. Recommend: Include plan details for fixtures, layout of tile, work schedule for completion. Have new fixtures before job begins.
Description of Work: Floor, shower, and bath deck were renovated. Provided customer service in purchasing the tile desired. Prompt service in coming to my home and giving a written estimate. Within a week tile was ready for installation. Demo was fast and efficient. Tile installers were well skilled. Clean up was immediate upon completion of installation. I will use Buffkin Tile and Carpet again!

It was an excellent experience. From the initial sales person to help pick out the tile, to the contractor who came and measured for the estimate. Contractor ordered the selected tile, scheduled the demo, plumber, prep team and tile installers efficiently. The work crew worked with accuracy and expeditiously. The tile installers worked with great precision. We couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: Master Bathroom: They pulled up the existing floor, surrounding the tub deck, and shower tile.Installed new shower, surround tub, and floor tile. Grouted all tile and cleaned all of the tile work.

Overall, it went well. They helped moving furniture(especially the very large pieces) and worked around some that could not be moved out of the room. They missed one detail. They padding was supposed to be the heaviest padding. After several inquiries about the pad quality, they insisted it was the heavy padding and installed the lesser grade of padding. After going back to the store and getting a sample of the padding that we ordered and comparing it with the installed padding, the installers took up carpet in the family and living room and installed the correct padding. Given the pattern and style of the carpet, seams at bedroom and hallway doors are very noticeable. According to the manager, that was and quot;the nature of the beastand quot;. Other areas that matched up to tile in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms were done very well. The installers were professional, helpful, polite and courteous. They worked with the material and information provided to them. The miscommunication about padding was higher in management.
Description of Work: Recarpeted whole house. Four bedrooms, living room and family room, hallway.

The two people who installed the tile arrived on time and on the date expected. All the floor surfaces over which the tile installers were to walk were covered with drop cloths so that no dust or dirt would be tracked through the house. The job was done professionally and well. The two men cleaned up after themselves when they were finished. My only complaint would be that the estimate for the amount of tile needed for the job was so exact that I was left with only two tiles, one of which was a sample from the store (and may not exactly match the tile installed). This is something I have never experienced with tile installation before as usually there is more tile available for the customer to keep in case repairs are needed in the future. Overall though I was very happy with this company's sales people and then the subsequent installation of the tile.
Description of Work: This company removed old tile floor and then installed a new tile floor in a small area.

Working with Buffkin was a great experience. From measuring the floors and preparing the estimate, to completing the work, everything went smoothly. The 2 installers were very professional and personable, and were prompt and efficient. They moved all the furniture out of each of 5 rooms, put it all back when they finished, and cleaned all the new flooring. We love our new floors.
Description of Work: We hired Buffkin Floor Options to install hard wood floors in our house. The installers removed over 1400 square feet of carpet, prepared all the floors for installation of the wood, and installed the wood in 4 days.

They have done an excellent job, and I like my bathroom now. They were contracted through another company. There were two crews that worked. Both the crews were professional and showed up on time. They cleaned up after themselves, and they did a great job.
Description of Work: I used Buffkin Tile & Carpet for bathroom remodeling last week. They tore off the old tile and flooring in the bathroom and replaced it with the new ones. It was more or less like a redo. The first company had not done a good job, and then we called Buffkin.

After getting estimates from 6 companies, I chose Buffkin because of price and the fact they had their own installers, not contracted ones. When getting an estimate, they answered all questions, and when I phoned in with other questions, the manager promptly returned my phone call if he was not available at the time. The installers were prompt, cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous. They even painted the quarter round with the matching paint I provided. The price was one of the lowest of those from whom I got estimates. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Installed floating carbonized bamboo hardwood flooring on concrete base in condo.

It went very well. They were on time, cleaned up after working, protected other floors.
Description of Work: I had my very small master bath redone, totally. It was taken down to the studs. They worked closely with the plumbers, regarding timing. I love my bathroom. My house is 60's and I used old timey tiles - it is beautiful. My only complaint was I would have liked more suggestions about whether to seal grout . They also did the floor in the other bath. A few years ago I had a new vinyl flooring stips that look like wood put in. I love it (have dogs and surfers living here). A couple years after installation I found a problem and they quickly came out and fixed it.

I have gone into the store and looked at their products and they have come to my house for the estimate. Their prices were high. They were very pleasant and had a lot of products to select from. The person that came out was their tile person and he was nice and wonderful. I haven't decided which company I am going to use, but they are on the high end. They provided the information I asked for in a timely way.

We were remodeling our bathroom and wanted a tile that could be installed with minimal or no grout. Buffkins carries an Italian tile that is beautiful (and expensive) that gave us what we wanted. Staff at the Merritt Island and Melbourne stores were extremely helpful and patient, and were able to provide us with options to consider, as well as reasonable pricing for such an upscale product.
Description of Work: No services performed. Just purchased tile products.
When we purchased our new home we had to use Buffkin for all of our flooring and bath surfaces. Depending on which staff member we worked with, they could be very helpful to no help at all. We had to have the installers back for several issues: uneven tile, unmatched tile, carpet pulls and carpet seams. It took a while, but in the end we were happy with all the surfaces except one carpeted room.
Description of Work: Ceramic tile flooring, tub/shower surrounds and carpet.

I had hired another contractor to handicapped a shower that was actually a hazard for my father to take a shower in. I had to hire another contractor to redo the shower for safety reasons. I selected Buffkin Tile to do the rework. They showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, redid the plumbing (they said the plumbing was put in backward), jack hammered the floor up, put in a shower pan (the other contractor did not put in a shower pan), then did the tile work. The shower is a roll in shower, no tripping hazards like the other one. The handicap shower drains wonderfully. My father is so delighted with it. I would highly recommend Buffkin Tile to anyone, but especially if you need special needs, like a handicapped shower.
Description of Work: Buffkin was hired to correct a botched handicapped shower job by another contractor. They showed up on time and did a first rate job. What a nice handicapped shower, my father is crazy about it. When people come to the house the handicapped shower is always a topic of conversation, he did such a nice job. The worker was so careful to make sure the shower drained correctly, and it does. It is a roll in shower and so easy to give my father a shower in, and it is nice to take a shower in too. I would recommend Buffkin Tile without reservation.

The installation went well. They did it in the time frame that was expected. Everything was fine. Two years later they came back out to make some repairs on a crack in the tile due to the house settling and they did this at no additional cost. The first time they were to come something came up, the owner called himself to apologize and to set up a new time.
Description of Work: I bought tile through them and they came out and installed it.
