We like our kitchen for the most part. But I was ultimately unhappy with the attitude I received when I called the project manager 3 times to have them fix a leak under the sink. I told them it was coming from the pipe connecting the dishwasher. The PM tried to fix it himself twice and told me he didn't want to bother the plumber if he didn't have to. When it leaked the third time, the plumber came out and told me I was right about the source of the leak. They also did not call the city to have the final inspection done, something I was left to do after the city sent me a threatening letter. We also called again after some settlement cracks appeared in the grout. 5 weeks after the project was finished, the manager claimed not to remember us. We also never heard from the designer again once the project started. I would have thought they'd want to see the final project. Lastly, they do NOT accept credit cards. This is a major inconvenience from a major company.
Description of Work: We had a meeting and a design drawn up with their kitchen designer. We liked the designer and plans and decided to go with them. They tore out a wall between our kitchen and dining room and completely gutted our kitchen. The remodel took about 7 weeks. They used all subcontractors.

Superb work! These guys are class acts! Working with them got better as the project progressed! Their sales guy, Sam, was attentive and gave me great advice. He was on the ball and made sure that the company could hold the flooring I bought for almost two months. Their measurement and scheduling crew made and kept their appointments and kept in good touch with me and the installers. Part of the project involved wrapping the steps with the hardwood flooring, but the measurement guys didn't think it could be done. When the installer arrived, though, he figured it all out and did a great job. They were super resourceful in working with the building management and navigating the association rules. They cleaned up every day and left the work site in pristine condition. The work is absolutely beautiful!
Description of Work: Mr. Floor installed approximately 1800 square feet of plywood and cork sub-flooring and installed and finished 1000 square feet of hardwood flooring. This was a gut renovation of a unit in 1960's era high-rise building. They did not carry the Brazilian walnut flooring I wanted to use, so I obtained my own from another flooring company in Niles - also a great supplier!

I was happy because they were very professional, and I didn't have to have them back to fix anything. They also did a beautiful job. I got four different quotes before I decided, and their price was very competitive.
Description of Work: They installed hardwood floors in my 2500 square foot condo. They were not refinished and they did it on site. They had to remove the old flooring too.

Mr Floor refinished the hardwood floor in the house prior to our moving in. The estimator gave us three options based on the areas that needed to be refinished. We decided to have them do the entire first floor. The floors had quite a bit of damage and we were delighted with the results. They also gave us recommendations for cleaning and on-going maintenance.

VERY unprofessional. They made such a mess that I had to pay $2,000 to repaint WHOLE place. I was told molding would get messed-up, but NEVER about stained walls & HUGE nicks on molding. They took a comparatively small amount off my bill for this, which is LAME. I shouldn't have had to paint my place at all. Moldings, perfect before instillation, were replaced in a shoddy fashion. Someone else had to fix the issue. They over charged me and only gave a refund when I complained. The owner sent a letter stating an agreed upon final amount. Once I paid that amount, they sent me another letter saying that I still owed them $275, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I PAID THE AGREED UPON AMOUNT IN THE LETTER FROM THE OWNER. They are continuing to HARASS me for this amount, despite the owners written word that I owed a particular amount ? WHICH I PAID. I had the floors re-done, by STANLEY FLOORING. They did a GREAT job. Moldings only got a little stained and I hardly had to do any repainting.
Description of Work: They removed old hardwood flooring and sleepers and replaced both with new flooring in 2 bedrooms and a hallway of my condo unit.

Response from Mr. Floor Companies
We removed water damaged flooring and her contractor dried the concrete. The certified concrete was dry and we installed new flooring. For superior customer service we assign a project manager to all clients. Her claim of our lack of professionalism is not true. The project started and finished as promised with daily updates by her PM. There was unavoidable incidental contact with several walls during demolition. We told her of this possibility before we started. We paid over 40%% of cost for repainting even though she told us she was repainting after we completed anyway. Moldings were installed to industry standards; we made multiple attempts to satisfy her. We are one of a few companies that maintains wood in an acclimation facility, our wood is seasoned year round. Buckling occurred because an adjacent room was improperly dried by her contractor. Moisture migrated from there and buckled newly installed floors. The member, her property manager and contractor, agreed to this moisture as the cause. We made an accounting error and corrected it immediately. There was no malice here. While issuing the credit, her account was credited twice. We simply asked her to pay for work performed. She continues to refuse after she initially agreed. By creating a story of untruths and false accusations she is trying to avoid payment. Unfortunately our name and reputation is being questioned. Our 20 year history and over 10,000 satisfied and loyal customers will surely disagree with her.

Over all the job was just OK. The sales person was great. However the project manager, Gregory was not very good. We had to continually call him for update. We had refinished floors installed, the installer did a so so job on the installation process. We had to have several pieces cut out and reinstalled as the installer damaged them as he was installing the new floor. There was not quality control, we had to point out all of the problems. Out Project manager should have found the mistakes and corrected them, instead it was left up to us. Plus our project manager would not listen to us, he would always start talking before we were finished.

They arrived on time and finished on time. They did a great job and I am extremely picky!
Description of Work: Mr. Floor installed new oak floors in my new house in January 2006. They removed carpeting and vinyl. They did a wonderful job and I am very pleased. There are no gaps between the boards and the floor looks fantastic. I waited a year before posting this to see if any problems cropped up. I am very pleased with their work and would hire them again.

Almost 12 years ago we had Mr. Floor install hardwood flooring in about half of our 2100 sq. ft. condominium, including having to meet all of our building requirements. About 5 years later we had them install additional hardwood flooring in other areas of our unit, a job which required blending the new floor with the previous installation. The crew from Mr. Floor did a fabulous job both times. Igor and Felix were wonderful to deal with. A reference was good enough to let us see their work in advance which confirmed the deal even though they weren't the least expensive. Work started per the contract date and everything proceeded without a hitch. Best of all, the floors still look terrific after many years, what better recommendation can anyone give!

The refinished floor was not as smooth as we expected, and was especially rough near the edges. The trim work was very poorly done: bad fits, bad cuts, rough edges, etc. We had them come back 2-3 times to improve the work. They finally screen buffed the floor after the last recoat, and it was acceptable. They tried to improve the trim, but it still was sloppy. We were given a refund for the price of the trim work.
Description of Work: Mr. Floor removed the old carpeting in our living room/dining room and refinished the the hardwood floors underneath. We assumed they would replace the trim as part of the job, but later found out that this was an extra cost service ($175). We then agreed to pay the extra cost for the trim work.

Installers were prompt, professional, and the floors are beautiful. They did damage one of the baseboards, but replaced it at my request. I had to remind them about the cove molding, and at first they seemed like they weren't going to replace it. The only issue I had were some gouges in the new floor that were filled with putty and really didn't look right. They made two attempts to fix these and I am reasonably satisfied. The project manager also changed in the middle of the job (actually the 2nd one was better), so communication was somewhat lacking. The job took two weeks to complete, including the installation of the shoe base and cove molding. I had to point out a number of small items, but they were addressed. Overall I would recommend them.
Description of Work: Old hardwood floors removed and replaced with new floors in living and dining rooms. 13 stairs, upstairs hallway, and two bedrooms(existing hardwood) were stripped, stained, and refinished. New shoe base and stair cove molding installed.

Mr Floor was recommended to me by Tom Mordini, my general contractor on a remodel job. They did a great job overall and I am very pleased with the results. They were not the least expensive bid but they were highly recommended and the quality of the work was outstanding. I dealt with Sam, and he was easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to do business with. They would have gotten all A's except for a delay in finishing the basement stairs.

ALTHOUGH THEY STARTED OUT VERY FRIENDLY, THINGS QUICKLY PROGRESSED INTO THEM PUTTING US AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR PRIORITY LIST. I HAD JUST FINISHED HAVING A SURGERY THAT HAD COMPLICATIONS AND I BELIEVE THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT WE WERE PREOCCUPIED. THEY NEVER FINISHED THE JOB COMPLETELY AND WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE WORK THEY DIDN'T COMPLETE. WHEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE BACK, THEY SAY THEY ARE DONE WITH THE JOB. I FEEL THEY WERE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.
