About us

Ground FX Flooring is a 'Shop at Home' flooring business. We bring the showroom to you. Mark Novoa, owner of Ground FX Flooring, has over 19 years in flooring experience and is fully licensed and insured. We're bringing a 'big city' idea of mobile flooring showroom to the rural southern Illinois area. Instead of going to the big box stores and falling for the gimmicks of promotions or traveling to different flooring stores and paying a deposit for a sample (that will hopefully look right in your homes lighting), we bring a variety of flooring samples straight to the customer’s home. No more hassles to pick out flooring! Ground FX Flooring works with individual home owners as well as rehabbers, insurance companies, hotels, restaurants, doctor offices, residential and commercial rental offices, etc. Because Ground FX Flooring has cut all the overhead of a stationary building, sales representatives, and every day cost of running a stationary showroom, we are able to pass the savings directly to our clients! We are a small business that offers huge savings. The owner does all the networking himself, along with the free in-home visits that provide measurements and a complete job proposal. Each job proposal will include prices for the material, supplies, labor and sales tax. Once the proposal is accepted by the customer, an install date will be set. Once every job is completed, the owner, Mark Novoa, and the customer will complete a walk through to ensure that every job is completed professionally and to the customer’s satisfaction. Ground FX Flooring takes pride in making the experience of shopping for flooring exciting and offering convenience to every customer. Ground FX Flooring is a business based on customers needs. We offer appointments and schedule any day of the week, based on the customer's desired time. There will be someone to answer the phones at all times. If you have any questions, want to increase the value of your real estate, or just want to check out our amazing mobile flooring design center feel free to give us a call.

I’m normally not the type of person to write reviews. Good or bad. But in this case I couldn’t not say anything. We had laminate flooring put in our whole home about 6 or 7 months ago by these guys and spent a good amount of money. We immediately started having issues with locking mechanisms breaking because of a poorly prepared subfloor. Mark, the owner who guarantees his work for a year sent a crew back to fix problem. Which they did and while laying the kitchen floor back down they glued every joint which is not a normal thing to do for laminate flooring. After about a week we still had the same problem with it breaking. Now he refuses to fix it because he found out his crew glued the whole kitchen floor and it will all have to be replaced to get to the problem area. He told us if we had to pursue legal ramifications that was fine which we are in the process of doing as we speak. Do yourself a big favor if you are considering hiring mark from ground Fx flooring to do your floor. DONT!! Save yourself some time and money and one **** of a headache.

Response from Ground FX Flooring
There is always two sides to every story. We would like to give ours and let the public decide which side is favorable, honest and true. Yes, we did install a beautiful laminate for this customer. And yes, flooring is an investment. Flooring is an honest trade...you get what you pay for. In this case, Mr. [Member Name Removed]purchased a 12mm laminate from Shaw. This company is well known in the flooring industry, and offers a 30 yr Residential Warranty on this particular product. However, the product is not the issue. When installers went out to perform the clients job, they realized the sub-floor in the laundry room was very weak. The customer agreed that the sub-floor had to be replaced. The customer also agreed to add sub-floor to the bedroom as well. There was a difference in height between the bedroom floor going into the living room. Since the customer did not want a transition piece, new sub-floor was added to the bedroom to raise it to match the connecting floor into the living room. Once the old flooring was removed in the kitchen area, the installers encountered more problems. There was a noticeable hump between the dining room and kitchen floor. And the sub-floor in the kitchen had major damage from a previous dishwasher leak. Unfortunately, sometimes there are unforeseen problems. We showed the customer what we were working with and explained that we needed to install new sub-floor throughout to fix this area of concern. Since the customer had already spent extra money on sub-floor installation in the other areas of the home, he refused any additional repair. So we all hoped for the best, and installed the floor to the best of our ability per the customer's request. Considering the canvas we were given to work with, the job turned out pretty good and the customer was pleased with our services. Within a few months we receive a call stating that his kitchen floor was 'wavy' and planks had movement. We already knew that we were working with an unlevel sub-floor. That's when we suggested finish nailing the edges in perimeter of certain areas to help stabilize the floor . Once the customer agreed to this, our installers completed the repair at no cost to the customer. Again, the customer was pleased with services. A few more months go by, and another complaint was made. The customer now didn't like the finish nails and the floor still had bounce to it. We again explained that a new sub-floor was needed to fix the underlying issue. The customer explained that the house was older and he didn't want to throw any more money towards it. So to ensure our customer's satisfaction, we ordered more flooring to replace certain planks. So we had our installers return and remove the planks and shifted the side seams over where the issue was originating from. The flooring and labor was at no cost to our customer. Not long after, Mr. [Member Name Removed]called to explain that the locking mechanism on his floor was now failing! Upon inspection, we explained to the customer that because of the water damage to his pre-existing sub-floor it was now causing the floor joist to sag. We're a flooring store not a construction company, so our repair capabilities are limited. With the customer's refusal to fix the real problem, we tried again to make this installation work. So we again ordered more flooring, at the company's expense, and had our installers return once more. Exhausting all other options of repair, the installer suggested gluing the side seams to ensure there would be no separation of the planks. Upon the customer's approval, we repaired the floor a third time. When we were all done, the client was satisfied, and we felt we did the best we could and walked away with our heads held high. So you can only imagine our disappointment and frustration when Mr. [Member Name Removed]called us back only months later to complain about his floor again. We then scheduled a professional contractor to inspect his floor. He said that he could fix the problem for $1,000. We explained to Mr. [Member Name Removed]we would have to order more flooring because installers glued the side seams of the planks. We told the customer we would charge him for the flooring at our cost, along with additional labor fee, also at cost. Already at a loss, we felt it unfair to have to pay for the flooring and labor cost since we had explained the real cause from the very beginning. I know this is a lengthy explanation. However, the power of a negative customer review affects a small business tremendously. We exhausted all options of fixing a floor that was already broken. We repeatedly tried pleasing our customer. If you are someone who has read this review in its entirety, then you can base your decision on both sides of this review. Not once did Mr. [Member Name Removed]mention all our attempts to make this right. Nor did he mention that it was his decision to keep the pre-existing sub-floor to save money. He was fully aware of the planks being glued as he ok'ed it with the installers before hand. Ground FX takes pride in all the other positive reviews received from other customers. This is an unfortunate situation, however, we had to walk away from this problem when the customer refused to pay for additional flooring and labor at cost and expected us to incur the cost to fix his floor once again.

Well I'll just go ahead and elaborate for those to know that she simply wasn't done right! The owner Mark approached her in the flooring section of a department store, selling his products! He came to her home and she showed the rooms she would like to have redone and he gave her a look at some sample flooring. All is well and she gets the floor put in...the flooring starts to separate in places and he comes to fix it but in the meantime her water heater bust (no ones fault) her insurance covered the cost to have the floor replaced. Well Mark and his guys said they'd do the floor work again and get back to normal. They put the floor down alright and then later the floor began to buckle and bulge bc it was put down on wet subflooring. Mark wasn't happy about all that but came back to fix it. Well a few weeks down the road her floor is separating again like it was previously before the water heater issue. He blames it on the flooring bc he said it had done this exact same thing to another lady and he would have a guy from the supplier come out and evaluate it so she could get her floor fixed! That guy comes and many months of what seemed like pulling teeth nothing gets done! She's highly unhappy with the flooring the Mark RECOMMENDED (she picked the color) simply because it doesn't stay together. So Mark says well that her floor is coming apart bc she has rolling chairs in her kitchen. Ok maybe so? But maybe Mark should have considered that before HIGHLY RECOMMENDING the flooring of choice! Why would someone pick out a flooring for a kitchen that she she couldn't use her current dinning table and chairs with? I think she spent enough on the flooring to not need to spend money on a new set?! Don't ya think? So over $4,000+ later she still has gaps in all the flooring! That to me does not deserve even one star! Shame on us!? Shame on Mark who took advantage of elderly retired couple who used their hard earned money on flooring that is not pleasing to the eye whatsoever due to the gapping! Mark told the BBB he would make things right for my mother in law and fix the issues. A few weeks later he declined to make things right. So my mother in law now has a very expensive flooring she is highly unhappy with and is just sick she has to replace it after all the time and money spent! He did not work in a timely manner and was highly unprofessional with the response time, as he ignored her requests for months! Absolutely disgusting that someone can take advantage of the retired elderly and their hard earned money!
Description of Work: My mother in law had them put new laminate flooring in her kitchen, Laundry room, and bathroom. Mark came to their home and showed them a selected type flooring and chose color.

The installation was well done and completed timely. They kept in touch with me to make sure I was informed of everything that was going on with the installation and ordering process. After the installation, they contacted me to ensure that I was fully satisfied. I am very happy with the quality of work and the quality of the product that I received. I would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: I needed carpet installed that I had purchased from a retailer. I also needed to purchase new flooring for my kitchen, bathroom, and utility room and have it installed.

It was great. Mark introduced to each of his contractors. Each of the contractors was helpful during the installation. Previously flooring, carpet had been down for 40 years. Contractors removed and disposed the carpet a section at a time. They kept the entire area clean as they worked. Contractors assisted us in making a decision when they encountered an unexpected problem with one part of the subfloor. Flooring Contractors were organized; we had flooring in five rooms done. They worked so we could still be living in the home. The contractors moved the heavy furniture and placed felt pads under it so the new floor would not be damaged. Each of contractors were efficient, friendly, individuals you would welcome into your home. Ground Fx Flooring coordinated the work so the team to install the new baseboards we here as the flooring team finished up their work. Following the installation of the backsplash, the contractors assisted us in understanding what we could do in the several days after the installation. Mark okayed the contractors to do additional work which I had not anticipated. In addition, Mark did a walk through each of the areas to insure that everything was satisfactorily and to be sure we were satisfied. I will not hesitate to call or recommend Ground Fx Flooring to anyone.
Description of Work: Mark from Ground Fx Flooring brought samples of different flooring and backsplashes to my home. He explained the differences in the flooring. Allowed me time to select the flooring I wanted, volunteered for us keep the samples if we would like. He measured and ordered materials for flooring, baseboards and backsplash. I felt like Mark really wanted to give us the best flooring possible. His team of contractors came as scheduled.

This flooring install went smoother than I could have imagined. The process of picking out the flooring went quickly and I especially liked the fact that they came to my home with samples. It was very refreshing to have the follow-up calls to make sure I was happy with the whole process.
Description of Work: Mark Novoa personally came to my home with samples and went over all the different types available, letting me see them in my home so that I could see what would work best in my lighting, wall colors, etc. Very professional and sent an install team that was just as professional and courteous. Then he has actually followed up afterward to make sure that I was happy with how everything went.

Marks crew delivered the Acacia hardwood flooring out to my home to adjust to the temperature/humidity of the house for a few days. His crew then arrived to install the flooring. The flooring crew were courteous, friendly, & kept the area clean & tidy. There workmanship was of great quality, with attention to details. There were a couple things I wanted changed & they responded quickly coming out on that Saturday to make the corrections to my liking. I was very pleased with the materials, pricing, & installation of my floor & will call Mark for any & all my future flooring needs!!! Also have already been sending my friends to see him for there flooring needs.
Description of Work: Mark spent a great deal of time finding us just the right flooring we were looking for. We looked at several samples but just couldn't find the "right" on. Mark went above & beyond by ordering a box of the flooring we thought we liked to know for sure it was exactly what we wanted. He brought out the box of hardwood flooring & laid it all out against the walls for us to look at for a couple of days to make sure we liked it. It ended up being exactly what we wanted.

We purchased carpeting/padding for multiple rooms in our home - large living room, hallway, 2 extremely large bedrooms, 1 average sized bedroom. Moved all furniture, removed old carpeting/padding and disposed of it, installed new padding/carpeting, vacuumed all rooms, replaced furniture exactly where it was. Very timely and efficient and professional. Excellent customer service, very positive experience, no problem understanding costs and estimates, great pricing, good variety. It's a pleasure walking barefoot on the carpet! Feels wonderful! Mark followed up very quickly with any question or concern.
Description of Work: Came to our home with mobile flooring store, assisted with choices that would look best in our home, gave prices, let us see how samples would actually look in our home, had wide variety of choices, no problem finding what we wanted.

Everything went very well. Mark and Amy were very patient with me while deciding which floor I wanted. My husband and I installed the flooring ourselves.
Description of Work: My husband and I ordered new hardwood floor from GroundFX. They were very knowledgable in the products they sell. We had the mobile showroom out to our house which really helped in our selection of our new flooring. When the flooring arrived GroundFX delivered the flooring to our house.

They arrived when they said they would and contacted us prior to arrival to confirm the appointment. They explained in detail what would happen so there was no surprises. They were amazing. The men who layed the carpet did a fantastic job and went above and beyond what they had to. They cleaned up after the job was completed. The carpet has exceeded our expectations. I will definitely be using Ground Fx for all of our flooring needs.

Every aspect of my dealings with Ground FX Flooring went very well. The selection of product and pricing were great, and Mark and Amy were always very friendly, knowledgable, accommodating, and professional. Delivery was on time, and both the flooring and backsplash work crews worked neatly and did a great job. Everything looks beautiful and I am very satisfied. Would I use them again? Absolutely! I am currently working with them on a custom made area rug for the dining area.
Description of Work: When Mark Novoa brought his mobile show room to our home we were able to pick flooring samples and bring right into our home environment to immediately see how they would work for us. He is very professional and knowledgeable about his products. We purchased a grouted luxury vinyl for ourflooring for our kitchen remodel project. Toward the completion of the project, I went to his stationary show room and purchased backsplash tile.

Mark (owner of Groung FX Flooring) and the installers were great! Fast and friendly! Mark arrived at scheduled time to my door with his mobile showroom. Mark inspected and discussed rooms I was wanting carpet replaced in. I picked out what style and color, from a wide variety of great options. This was so much easier then going to a retailer. I was provided a quote that was calculated right then with me observing the whole process. Any questions I had were answered in a very friendly and professionally way. We then scheduled an installation time and that was it. The whole process took less than an hour! I ended up having to reschedule my install date and they were extremely understanding and nice when I called. When carpet was installed Mark and installers arrived on time at my home and went over everything again that needed done and they got to work right away. I left for work and returned home to doors being locked as they said they would do, old carpet was torn out and disposed of and the new carpet installed with no mess what so ever, they even vacuum new carpet before they leave! My new carpet was absolutely beautiful with not one flaw! Overall the whole experience was great and I couldn't be happier I chose them! I would recommend anyone needing any type of flooring installed to use Ground Fx flooring.
Description of Work: Replaced carpet in dinning area, front room, and three bedrooms.
