Installers worked a short day on day one. Day two worked much longer, so long, no time to do a walk thru, which there were many corrections to be made. Rushed thru most and said he would be back the next day. Never showed up or no call ever from Dolphin to see if we were satisfied with the job. I would never recommend Dolphin and as people come to our house to see the floors (beautiful Mohawk floors) I tell them to go to another company!

An incompetent business practice. The do not provide detail receipts and over state the sq ft and waste. Waste on average is 10% not 30%. When I inquired to the store manager he stated I was not a customer and that I was a bit$h for inquiring. I was correct in my calculations. However, I had to file a complaint with the credit card company in order to get any response or corporation.

Excellent. Only complaint was the quality of the flooring. Whereas I had been told there was no real difference between the flooring they would provide and what I could get at home depot (other than cost...their's was cheaper) -- the wood flooring scratches very easily. I would focus more on the quality of the flooring options next time than accept the sales pitch that there is no difference.

This company has more than one location. I first went to the one on Kendall and 127 and got terrible service. Appointment missed, a measurement that wasn't realyy correct, and then no response when he was called. Never got a callback. I went to the one near the Falls and it was completely different. Attention to detail, good estimate and accurate measurement. I didn't have a huge amount of carpet left over to be paid for as has happened to me before. Installers were on time and neat and did a great job. Will use them again.

Dolphins owner came out to our house with samples and measured the rooms we were planning to recarpet. As we had not purchased carpet in quite some time, he explained the types of carpet available and the positives and negatives of each. We selected the carpet for the bedroom and then went to his store the next day to see more samples for the office. We selected the carpet for the office. He then set up a date for installation. On the assigned date, two installers showed up, removed all the furniture from the two rooms and removed the old carpet. They then installed the new carpet and replaced all the furniture. Both men were very friendly and polite and cleaned up thoroughly before they left. We were very satisfied with the total experience.

They did an excellent job. They were here for a week, removing the old tile and installing the new tile.. They were so easy to work with. Ivan Salazar was the salesperson and he was extremely courteous and professional. They subcontracted out the installation to XL Flooring? and the subcontractor (Roberto Vargas) was great too. They were on time and got the job done on time as well. They were so tidy and neat with a very messy job. There wasnt even one speck of tile left behind. I was very impressed and I would recommend them to anyone.

The installation throughout was without fault and well done. While there were numerous opportunities for them to avoid replacing the damaged floor (was the source of the moisture outside the walls or through the floor?) similar to numerous controversies in flood insurance claims which might have intruded. I was pleased with the professionalism of Jeff Stevens, Manager, who worked with us through a period of many months which resulted in a fair solution. Installation was by XP Flooring (see separate review for another project) superintended by Enrique Desormeaux. Since we did not vacate the house for the duration of the project, working around our basic needs was no easy task; however, they did so in a friendly and cooperative manner.
Description of Work: A year ago, we contracted for replacing roughly 50% of an engineered hardwood floor. This had been damaged by moisture intrusion. We had had installed, as was standard, a moisture barrier which was guaranteed to work. Obviously, it did not. Following numerous tests, the company (actually the barrier manufacturer) stood by their guarantee and offered replacement flooring (we chose ceramic) at no cost. However, we did choose to redo the balance of floors in ceramic tile, which accounts for the cost figure above.

They were excellent. They came on time. They did run out on the tiles but they got it from the warehouse the next day. They finished the work on schedule. Everything was fine. They did have to come back and fix some very minor repairs and they absolutely had not problems with that. They came out when it was convenient for me and there were no issues.

Very well. The floors look beautiful. Dan came exactly on time as scheduled for an estimate. It was a bit higher than others but well worth it as you get what you pay for. The guys who came to put in the floor are employed by the store so that makes a big difference. They are not some fly by night contractors. They were nice, polite, and professional. They arrived exactly when they said they would. Dan was receptive to my questions and was a great help. I think the big chain stores were probably less expensive but I feel that they stand by their work and it was well worth any extra cost. I would recommend this company highly.

Before I hired this company, I watched them do a similar job for a friend. They worked fast and accurate. Their cuts were very good. The whole group was busy all of the time. The end result was a beautiful patio and excellent drainage.

After further calls and visits, Gus finally came to the house and agreed that some of the tiles will be replaced and the grouting will be redone. A new repair person was sent with the instruction only to apply grouting at some of the corners, where tiles are sticking out. When I talked to Gus, again he agreed about the need for tile replacement & grout filling, but once again gave the original instruction; the repairman filled one such place and showed us that the flooring would look much worse with that type of application. Finally, he left in disgust with the saying "fixing the hand for a broken leg will not cure it". When I called Gus, and later the store manager Jeff the answer that I got was that they will not do anything further. Both hung up the phone on me. In spite of all these, I want to solve this amicably. All I want is to rectify the above 2 problems. If they cannot find somebody to fix it, let them pay somebody whom I find (also I will need 2 more boxes of tiles).
Description of Work: In August 2006, we contracted the company to install porcelain rectified tiles at the highest market value at the assurance of the salesman, Gus that his was a reputable company responsible for the finished product. He sent an installer who started the work. However, within 2 days he had to leave for some family emergency. So, Gus sent another installer, Yanis Arena of Miami Tile & Marble, who proved to be both unprofessional and did a bad job. Among the many deficiencies the main ones were (1) some of the tiles have their corners sticking up or down without being in the same level as the adjacent tiles and (2) the grout lines in the entire floor is at least 2-3 millimeters below the level of the tiles. The combined effect is that people can cut their feet when walking bear-foot on the tiles. We have been trying to get the company to fix these 2 problems ever since. After about a dozen calls and 2 visits to show-room, Gus sent Yanis, predictably he did nothing.

We are sorry to hear of the issues you encountered with your installation. While sometimes it is not enough we do clearly post on ALL of our rectified tile products that a common characteristic of this product with a thin set installation is possible lippage from tile to tile. I have researched your service request and did observe that you signed off as satisfied upon completion of your repairs. Should you wish to discuss this further, I can be reached at 305-591-4141 Jeff Stephens Assistant GM Dolphin Carpet & Tile

THE INSTALLERS OF THE FLOORING WERE PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. THE COLOR WAS BEAUTIFUL AFTER IT WAS INSTALLED. I THOUGHT THAT SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY WOULD BUY ME A QUALITY PRODUCT. I HAD NOTIFIED THE ORIGINAL SALES WOMAN SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER INSTALLATION THAT THE FLOORING WAS EASILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SCRATCHING AND DENTS WITH THE DROP OF A BELT. SHE STATED THAT DENTS AND SCRATCHES ARE EASILY MADE WITH WOOD FLOORING - THUS MY REASONING FOR PURCHASING AN AREA RUG. I AM STILL AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM MY LETTER DATED AUGUST 28, 2006 TO DOLPHIN.
Description of Work: IN SEPTEMBER 04' DOLPHIN CARPET TILE SUPPLIED AND INSTALLED MONTAGE AMERICAN CHERRY ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING IN MY MASTER BEDROOM. MONTHS AFTER I HAD PLACED AN AREA RUG IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM. IN MARCH OF 06' I HAD TO LIFT THE AREA RUG TO SEND OUT FOR CLEANING AND WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THE FLOORING HAD SUBSTANTIALLY DARKENED AROUND THE RUG. I MAILED DOLPHIN PICTURES AND A LETTER DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FLOOR AND REQUESTED THEIR GUIDANCE ON CORRECTING THE FLAW. IN APRIL 06' THE ASST GEN MGR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT ENGINEERED CHERRY WOOD SHOULD RESTORE ITSELF WITHIN 30 DAYS OR SO IF I "LET THE FLOOR BREATHE AND REMOVE THE AREA RUG". HE PERSONALLY INSPECTED THE FLOORING THE FOLLOWING MONTH AND AGREED THAT THE FLOOR WAS NOTICEABLY DARKER. HE SUGGESTED THAT I ALLOW THE FLOOR TO BREATHE FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY DARKEN IT. MY LAST LETTER DATED AUG 28, 06' NOTIFIES HIM THAT THE FLOOR IS THE SAME AND REQUESTS THAT HE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER.
