Veteran owned and operated. Iam a combat veteran from the USMC. We do everything but carpet. I have been installing flooring for 6 years since I got out of the Marine Corps. We will respond within 24 hours of your initial request.
"Chris replied to my inquiry very quickly. He was available when we needed the work done. His phone and text communication was excellent. He kept us updated on his arrival time the day of installation. The installation of our self-purchased luxury vinyl plank flooring went quickly and the finished floor looks fabulous. Chris finished it off with quarter round white molding. He took away all the trash and left our sun room clean. Although his quote was higher than the other two quotes we received, his work is well worth the price. Chris is courteous, polite and very professional"

We would love to speak with you about your Custom home or major addition project. We have many satisfied clients to provide references upon request. We look forward to working with you!
"From start to finish Stevie and his wife Gail were wonderful to work with. Stevie would call me every week to give me an update on the progress of the new house he was building for me. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and expertise he exhibited. I'd never built a house and he and Gail made it a fun and easy project. I interviewed three other builders and after speaking with Stevie I knew I'd found my builder, and he did not disappoint in any way. He helped save me money at times and at other times was very clear why it would be in my best interest to do something different. It was definately a partnership all along the way. Trust me when I say, don't look any further, Marshall Construction is the company for all your projects, small or large."

"We hired Mr. Handyman to paint our gables and soffitt. The employee was inexperienced. After setting up, she approached me and said she had made a mistake and didn't understand that she was painting the gables. The estimate we accepted stated painting 3 gables and soffitts. She said she needed to re-estimate the work. Eventually, we agreed on a new [much higher price that her boss approved.] She did very little work before she went back to the company van and sat in it. The office manager arrived to say that she was sick and someone else would be coming the next morning to do the agreed upon job. He started the job and my husband went to talk to him. He stated he was only doing the gables per his boss. The boss called immediately and was irate. He insisted the work was only to paint the gables. I told him we had both a written estimate and video recording [of the renegotiation] stating the work to be done. He insisted we pay more. I asked why, we already agreed and he hung up on me. "

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.
