Zooks LookSimple version: I asked them to do a simple fluorescent-to-LED light exchange in my shop. They did the easy half and never came back, despite multiple calls and this letter. AND sent me an invoice for the whole job ! It’s hard for me to express how Disappointed and Astonished that a...
It went pretty well. The 2 employees were friendly, and worked efficiently. The only problem was an old stain surfaced that hadn't been previously visible. (It had something to do with the type of chemical used by the previous owners to clean.) I called and the workers came back and worked on...

"Quick to schedule me and good quality of work. UPDATE 8/23/22: Our experience with this company will sound outrageous to any decent human being. We hired them to install a range hood in September 2021. They showed up and did a good job installing it for us. Then they suggested we also install a vent cover which they could make it for us for $200. We thought it would be nice to cover the vent so we agreed and paid them to bring it to us later. Then things started to escalate from here. They promised to drop it off on Oct 6, DID NOT show up. Then on Nov 1, my husband contacted them, they promised to drop it off the second day, DID NOT show up. My husband contacted them three times in December (Dec 1, 16, and 17), and they replied on Dec 17 saying that they would bring it on the 24th, DID NOT show up. Contacted them again on Dec 30, said they would come, DID NOT show up. Ever since then, they stopped replying to our messages. We texted them at least once a month, with NO RESPONSES AT ALL. Yesterday (August 23, 2022), I called them and someone picked up. I confronted them and they told me they NEVER came to where I live to do any job! This is completely unprofessional and outrageous. We gave them the benefit of the doubt but they failed us over and over again. They either deliberately lied to us or they intentionally stole from us! It is disgusting! Today is August 23, 2022. we called them and an automated voice said, this number has a caller restriction which prevents us from calling them!!! We tried to be as civilized as we can but this is beyond unacceptable. If this is how they do business with everyone, then they will be out of business in no time! We will expose them on every platform they are on so no one else will fall for their despicable act!"

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
