This must have been the most frustrating and hair-ripping experience we've ever had with a contractor. Without my builder's help, we wouldn't have finished the job or gotten it corrected. Installers were inept & incompetent & only knew on the morning of the job where they were going. We were told that employees installed the flooring; actually, they contract it all out. After ripping out our defective Bruce flooring, we waited over 4 months for the reinstallation to occur because humidity conditions were not right. So why rip out an old floor and force us to live in dust and upheaval before ripping out the whole lower level? They could have stopped with one room, but never learned their lesson from the first install. Final installers caused damage to woodwork and new floor itself during install. Everything they did was to ''appear'' cooperative, but the Kramer brothers would never talk to us in person or return any phone calls. In the end, we have a good floor, but there's way better.
Description of Work: Original Installation of Bruce pre-fab wood flooring in new construction home. Builder had contracted with AR Kramer, leaving us no choice. Even before closing on our new home, vertical and horizontal gaps between the boards were clearly visible. After two years battling, we decided to have AR Kramer come out, rip out the Bruce floor and install more expensive Lauzon pre-fab flooring. Kramer blamed insufficient then excessive humidity for the gapping. We paid a $2500 upgrade charge to install the new ''better'' flooring. What a mess and a frustating experience. Their service manager and alleged flooring specialist lied to us on numerous occasions and never fulfilled promises and wasted so much of our time waiting at home for installers who never showed up. Think twice about hiring AR Kramer for your wood flooring-installers blame Kramer; Kramer blames installers and everyone blames materials or your own home conditions. They try to appear to be cooperative, but that's where it ends.

Response from A R KRAMER
WHEN INSTALLING HARDWOOD IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE HUMIDITY IN THE HOUSE BE AROUND 12%. THIS IS EXPRESSED TO EVERY CUSTOMER INTERESTED IN HARDWOOD AND NEEDED TO HELP THE FLOOR ACCLIMATE TO THE HOUSE. THIS IS IMPERATIVE TO THE PROCESS AND WHEN IGNORED THIS EXPERIENCE MAY HAPPEN. IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THE CUSTOMER BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE FLOORING COMPANY TO ENSURE THE BEST PERFORMANCE IN EVERY FLOOR.

I purchased Pergo flooring (Signature) for 1.99/square foot, it was by far the best price I found in my area. I worked with Debbie and she was very helpful! I found AR Kramer very flexible, they have high-end designer flooring for people with a large budget and terrific sales for people on a more modest budget.
Description of Work: I purchased Pergo flooring from AR Kramer.

Salesperson (Debbie) was very helpful, she had me take several samples and gave me the time I needed to make up my mind. The standard carpet pad they provide is excellent and the carpet itself is beautiful. The installation crew was prompt, friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: They removed the old carpet and installed new carpet on the stairs, three rooms, and hallway.
