Charlie did a great job. Although the stairs varied significantly in width, he was very careful to get the width of the carpet exactly right for each step.

Installer showed up on time. Damaged floor had already been removed by general contractor. Installed new floor but did not refinish or stain to match hallway floor. Insisted on collecting full payment from wife while husband was away from the house and could not inspect job. No one ever called to see if installer had arrived, the job was completed, or whether it was done to our satisfaction. Had similar experience earlier when company installed carpet in another room.
Description of Work: Bid called for the company to take up water damaged parquet floor in closet, replace it, match as close as possible, refinish new floor to match existing floor in hallway, and stain to match.

Response from Brothers Floor Covering
THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT CALLED FOR REFINISHING THE NEW PARQUET TO MATCH THE EXISTING, HOWEVER BECAUSE THIS PROCESS WOLD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS AND THE CUSTOMER HAD SCHEDULED THE SOFT WATER COMPANY THE VERY NEXT DAY WE AGREED WITH THE HUSBAND NOT TO PERFORM THE REFINISH. WE EVEN MADE AN EXTRA TRIP WITH PARQUET SAMPLES FOR THE HUSBAND TO CHOOSE THE CLOSEST MATCH, WHICH HE DID.

Unfortunately, when Mr. McKeny returned to check for moisture in the floors, we discovered too much and were advised that even though they could do the job, it probably wouldn't last due to excess moisture and no barrier between the sub floor and the hardwood. We highly recommend this company for their promptness, willingness to help, and their ethics.
Description of Work: Our hardwood floor was cupping. Chuck McKeny came out and gave us a good estimate to fix the floor. The company was very prompt with their quote and scheduling the work.

Chuck came out & carefully measured the entire house to provide the estimate. He was prompt & polite. We went with a slightly lower cost company for the install. We would call Brothers Flooring again.

Brothers repaired our new hardwood floors that were damaged as a result of the installer's negligence. They quickly came to our home to give an estimate and performed the work only days later. The work was professional, and we felt assured of their skill and craftsmanship, even after having had a bad experience with the previous installer. Would highly recommend Brothers. Their price may be higher, but it's worth the peace of mind!

Plan to have Brothers install your floor very soon.
Description of Work: The estimator quickly noted that kitchen floor had uneven joists underneath and was not level enough for ceramic flooring. They quoted replacing vinyl flooring in kitchen with Duraceramic or Permastone vinyl tiles. The worker at the display room was very friendly and helpful in selecting samples to bring home to view with existing cabinetry.

It was amazing what they did, it looks like its always been that way. It all totally flows and matches, looks like it was built that way. They were here 3 to 4 days tearing out the old floor, and were here another three days to lay and refinish the new floor.
Description of Work: We have an old house, in the dining room and entry way we had red oak hardwood under a carpet. What they did was take up the carpet, refinished entry way and dining room. Totally matched red oak kitchen, family room and hallway to what was in entry way.

Obtained carpet promptly and arrived as scheduled. Installer(the worker) arrived with 2 toters. Worker did all the work and half the toting. In worker's haste to complete he knocked off a wall tile in bathroom and damaged a newly painted wall. Glad I was there to watch furniture removal. Surprised that no one from the company has ever called to ask if the installers got there and if the work was completed satisfactorily. Very happy with the carpet and from appearances I assume the work was done correctly.
Description of Work: Removed old carpet in bedroom and 2 closets and installed new carpet including the master bath.

They were on time and did a very very good job. It looks wonderful. I'm so happy with them, from the sales person to the man who put the floor in. They were all very nice and knew about the tile and how it was to be measured and put in. It didn't take long and he explained what he was doing and why. If he wasn't sure how we wanted something he asked before going on.

The product is beautiful and the installation was excellent. A great product with poor installation results in an unsatisfactory job. Brothers began and completed the job in the time-frame quoted. We will definitely use them again
Description of Work: Brothers installed ceramic tile in 3 bathrooms. Under one of the bathroom floors, they installed heating coils so that the floor will stay warm in the winter.

Brothers did an incredible job with this! We were doing a kitchen remodel and had to move a wall. One of our biggest concerns was whether or not we could match our existing wood flooring. The company that had originally put our flooring in told me it was unlikely to match and it took me a couple of calls to get their quote. I got frustrated with them and called Brothers. Brothers came out within a couple of days and took measurements and brought samples. The job was done on time and it is "invisible" -- it matches our existing floor perfectly. I will go to Brothers for all of our flooring needs in the future.
Description of Work: "Laced" new wood flooring into existing wood flooring where we had moved a wall.

The overall experience was very good. We were able to take home several samples on more than one occasion. Sales people were very helpful with taking us through process. The scheduling estimate was flexible, but it took a few days to receive the estimate. We were told they estimated 4 to 5 days to complete the work. They were done in 2 1/2 hours and could have been done sooner. The installers were very good and easy to have in the house. The day after they completed the floor, one of the boards cracked. I called and immediately was put on a list for repair. The original installers called and set a time to come. They determined what the problem was immediately, fixed it, and said if we have any other problems, which we shouldn't, just call and they would be back.
Description of Work: They removed ceramic tile, linoleum, carpet for the entire first floor and installed 1200 sq. feet of laminate wood flooring in the entry way, living and dining rooms, kitchen, family room, and laundry room.

Greg Hill may be one of the most patient men in central Indiana. From day one, he showed no urgency to make the sale. Instead, he gave us all the time we needed to choose floors and to make sure we could afford the project. He even helped us line up our finances and has done eveything imaginable to make sure the final project suits us 100%. Outstanding service! Also, the crew that worked in our home was spectacular. They were with my family everyday for a week; cordial, pleasant and a joy to have in our home. The only one traumatized by the project was Joanie, but she's our cat.
Description of Work: They did the tearout of old ceramic and vinyl flooring, baseboards and quarter round. They laid new hardwoods in my entryway, hall, half bath and kitchen, plus new baseboards and show molding.

I emphasized to the Brothers estimator that getting the job estimated and underway was a high priority because the master bath shower was unusable in its current state. He assured me that he understood and would respond within a day or two. A week passed. When I called on the eighth day to follow up he was unavailable. I called again later in the day at which time he commented "I am not going to make any excuses ..." and he didn't! Nor did he offer an explanation or an apology for "dropping the ball" and failing to at the very least contact me with status. I was handed off to a subcontractor who I haven't heard from in over two weeks now.
Description of Work: Brothers Floor Covering was a find on Angie's List. I asked Brothers for a at home estimate on a master bath shower repair (tiling).

Job 1: Very good experience. Dustless method was as described. Very little dust & smell. The technicians were friendly and hard working. Respected my home and belongings. The salesman & office personnel were business like and helpful and did their best to make everything to well. Job 2: The installer came on time each day (3 days). He was very pleasant and appeared happy with what he had to do - he hummed songs while working. He was neat and clean personally and with his work. The finished job was beautifully done. A few weeks earlier Brothers refinished my hardwoods. I am very pleased with the entire job and would recommend this company to anyone who needs flooring services.
Description of Work: Job 1: Refinished wood floors downstairs and upstairs. Master bedroom. Used 95% dustless method. ($3900). Job 2: New vinyl flooring put down in kitchen, bathroom, small hallway and at main entrance to my home ($1700).

Brothers came out to measure within 24 hours of when I called. Provided a written quote quickly upon my floor choice. The gentleman who provided the quote and the people at the store were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Quote was competitive and they had a large selection to choose from. The installer arrived right on time and focused directly on his work. he kept everything cleaned as he worked, did a very good job on the installation and when he left everything was immaculate. The installer wasn't a very personable guy, but the quality and focus of his his work was wonderful.

The work was satisfactory however we were not happy with the delay in finishing the job. They began on a Thursday and could have easily completed the job if they had not run out of material. It took a week for Brothers to come back with the additional material to finish the work. It was particularly disturbing because our house is for sale and we did not know when realtors would be bringing people in to see the house.

Response from Brothers Floor Covering
PLEASE ACCEPT OUR SINCEREST APOLOGIES TO YOUR MEMBER. REGRETFULLY, WE MIS-MEASURED THE JOB AND RAN SHORT 1 CARTON OF MATERIAL. THE JOB WAS DONE ON A THURSDAY AND THE MATERIAL DIDN'T COME IN UNTIL MONDAY AS IT WAS ORDERED TOO LATE FOR THE NEXT DAY SHUTTLE. IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THEIR HOME PRESENTABLE DURING A POTENTIAL SHOWING WE DID INSTALL, ON FRIDAY, A PIECE OF FLOORING ON THE LANDING AS TO NOT LOOK UNFINISHED. WITH THE INCONVENIENCE OF THE SNOW ON TUESDAY, THE FLOOR WAS COMPLETED ON WED. AGAIN, I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENED, BUT WE REALLY DID PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO KEEP THE CUSTOMER HAPPY.
