"Ron’s team showed up on time Friday Sept. 5 and went straight to work. Ron came back late afternoon, the job was 95% completed and told me the job was 756 sq ft and that I owed him 756 x $4 = $3,024. I objected and said that I had two professional written quotes showing the square footage at 677 so I should owe him $2,708. He said he had counted the boxes and he was correct. I didn’t want to have a verbal conflict , nor stop the job before it was complete, so I was at a loss what to do and gave him my check for $3,024 and he left. I soon realized that I was definitely overcharged and called him on Friday, Sept 5 at 4:21 to address my concern. I left a message. Ron never called me back. I waited over the weekend to allow him time to make this situation right. He didn’t so on Tuesday, Sept 9 at 2:24 I called him again, he didn’t answer again so I left him another message expressing my concern. I have never heard back from him. He has never sent me an invoice. He never measured my areas."

"Floor looks beautiful! Reliable installers, who accommodated every request. They showed up before 8 every day and worked hard to get this difficult job done as quickly as possible. We requested a Versailles pattern, and it looks gorgeous! They were even able to repair cracked tiles in 2 other bathrooms without damage to surrounding tiles. They use a system to level each tile with the adjacent tiles. Looks better in real life, because pictures are a little dark. Note that they don't replace the floor trim, touch up paint or re-install toilets. The quarter round part of our trim was difficult to remove without breaking because the seams were caulked. So the quarter round isn't back on yet and the paint hasn't yet been touched up in these pictures. But even with the toilet removal they added toilet water solidifying crystals (ie. Oatey LiquiLock) so water wouldn't spill. Thank you, Michael and team!"

"Moving to the city of Durham, NC from Los Angeles, CA, knowing nobody in this new city and having a very bad experience with the natural slate tile previously installed in my property in Los Angeles, I was very skeptical and cautious when working with any local installers for my request, again for natural slate tile installation for my new single family home construction in Treyburn Forest community of Durham. Julio, Mario and their tile crew at Santi Hardwood Flooring did the excellent tile job for the first floor with Brazilian Montauk blue 24"x24" natural slate tile and two shower rooms of this new construction. Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring teams continue to work on the second floor with Hickory solid hardwood planks. With his teams' great success in the natural slate tile installation, I have no doubt about his teams' skill on any solid hardwood installation which I believe, his teams are the experts. Absolutely, I would highly recommend Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring company to my friends and neighbors who would have any flooring requests for great installation service with a very competitive price.

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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Are you leaning towards solid surface countertops? If so, you've likely come across Corian®. Find out how much Corian® countertops cost so you can plan your project.
The cost of stainless steel countertops may seem shocking compared to laminate, but their durability may be worth it. Here’s how much you can expect to spend.
Planning your kitchen or bathroom remodel? Find out all the ins and outs of how much solid surface countertops cost, the price of common add-ons, and more.
If your countertops are getting old, dull, or showing signs of wear, it may be time to do something. But to refinish vs. replace countertops is the question.
Both quartz and marble countertops have their merit, but it’s important to know which one is right for your needs before committing to one over the other.
Though concrete is durable, it does have some issues. You can combat these common problems with concrete countertops if you know what to look for.
