This is a quality company. Met initially with Jason for estimate and recommendations on flooring that would work for us. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves the business. The install crew they sent (led by Danny) was stellar: on time, polite, did lovely work, and cleaned up after themselves. John the project manager was great to work with. A couple issues came up during installation and John responded quickly and fairly. I was treated respectfully during the entire process. I will definitely hire them again for the next project.
Description of Work: They ripped out old pet stained carpet, scratched and damaged oak flooring, and replaced entire downstairs with vinyl flooring.

Response from Floor Trader Direct
Dear [Member Name Removed], We are very disappointed to hear that you felt let down by our company. We hold our customer service to a high standard, but it appears we may have let you down. With that said, we would like to take a moment to clarify what happened to let you know what occurred and to hopefully still earn your business. On the day of your appointment the company vehicle that our sales person was driving was inoperable and in need of repairs. We contacted you as soon as our office was made aware and we explained to you that we would not be able to make it to the appointment due to circumstances out of our control. In our message we did ask to re-schedule, but we did not received a response/call back from you. We understand that this was not an ideal situation and certainly not the best way to start off our interaction with each other, but we unfortunately encountered a circumstance outside of our control. If you would like to reschedule with us please let me know and we will do everything we can to help. On behalf of our entire staff we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations.

Love the unified look of our new floor. Makes our older home look brand new. The installers found odd bits of old carpet, floor tile and vinyl under the existing flooring. All was handled in an excellent manner. Installers took care to level out the floor before coming back and doing the install. All done in 2 days. Very happy with Seattle Flooring, our install job and our new floor.
Description of Work: We had luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in our livingroom/dining room area, family room, kitchen, hallways and one bathroom. This replaced a mishmash of old, poorly installed carpet and peel and stick vinyl tile.

67 reviews 1.0 star rating 8/22/2017 I went in to this specific place to pick my flooring and tiles for my new build because they are a sub of my builder. The project manager wasn't available that we were told to go see. He was on vacation. So we dealt with someone who said they were the son of the owner. He took all of our information and choices and said that he would give it to the project manager person for specific dimensions and measurements for a quote. Weeks went by. No quote. I called for the owner's son and he wasn't available. Then I asked for the project manager. He wasn't there either and wouldn't be for another few days. Still don't have a quote. So I email today (a little over a week later since the phone call) and ask for a status. I get told that my builder has the quote. I ask for it and he says I have to get it from the builder. What? You can't give me the number? Like I have to get it from the builder? What if I was purchasing it on my own. Would I still need to get the quote from the builder? Seriously? Now I'm looking for different floor people when I'm in crunch time.

It went great!!! The guys worked so hard to get it just perfect! We would highly recommend Seattle Flooring for your flooring/carpet needs. They are very professional, courteous, respectful and diligent to ensure that customers are totally satisfied. From the initial visit with Jason to the install, we felt that they really took pride in their work and provided excellent customer service.

We had such a good experience with this company when they installed hardwood flooring in our kitchen, that we again chose them for carpet installation. The installers came when they said they would, did an excellent job laying the carpet, and cleaned up afterward. I did compare prices with several other businesses, and were very happy with Seattle Flooring's competitive price. I would highly recommend this business.

Seattle flooring company did an excellent job on installing the new carpet. Jason and John provide great service from start to end. I need the project to be done within a very short time frame, and they were able to accommodate that. On the installation day, the installers arrived in the early morning and stayed very late to make sure the project finishes on time. When I did a walk through and find a small issue with on a edge of carpet, the project manager John came personally to fix it for me. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for my next floor project.

We had an excellent experience with this company. The owner answered all of our questions before we accepted his bid, and before the installation the project manager did a walk through to make sure we were all in agreement on what would be done. The installers came when they said they would, they did a beautiful job, and cleaned up before they left. The next day the project manager came to do a final walk through to see if we were happy with the results. This was the best experience we have ever had with contractors, I would highly recommend them. We plan to have them handle our re-carpeting project next.

We had great communication from Melinda in the beginning, she was responsive and helpful. We had arranged an in-home estimate but it was cancelled when we found the cost of their engineered Acacia hardwood was around $8 a square foot. We had looked at 3 other flooring stores (Simple Floors, Great Floors, and CFM) that had this for $4.50-$5.50 a square foot. I had asked why there was such a difference in cost of the material but never got a response back.

From the first minute Jason rang the bell to the very last one when John made final walk through the house I felt supported and respected. And this is to the excellent job! I could never thought that what we see on the pictures (especially those before and after) can be in real world. Now I know: it definitely can be when you hire professionals for your dream to come through. Fest, nice and quiet, you wont even notice them in the house when the next minute you realize how different your house looks like. And yes, they do clean after themselves! Will give everyone I know their card and hope in some years from now with my "next dream to come through project" to call these guys and no one else!

Jason at Seattle Flooring was great to work with! I felt like we got tons of attention and help when we needed it. He was super patient and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions and helping us through many decisions. He was friendly and easy to get a hold of through the entire process.Our older house had surprises waiting at every turn, but Jason made sure we got what we wanted and came in on budget through it all. We are so happy we worked with them! Their installers were top notch and the work turned out beautifully.Less

Jason is by far one of the easiest contractors to work with. He accommodated our very busy schedules from our first consultation to the very end of the project. He will not try to sell you anything other than his expertise on the installation. This is why me and the Mrs. chose Jason over the other 5 contractors that we consulted with regarding our floor project. Going into the project, Jason was always straight up with us about his concerns that may arise and suggested solutions if we encounter any of it. He never tried to lure us with upsell like numerous contractors had tried to do but Jason only voiced his opinion and ultimately put the ball in our court. Jason is 100% zero pressure and he runs a great ship and a great crew that will see your floor project through to the very end. I will definitely work with Jason and his team again!
Description of Work: Time for an upgrade on the flooring in our home. Day 1 was demo by pulling out the baseboards, carpet and vinyl. They took it all the way down the the sub-floors. Day 2 consist of installing the laminate wood flooring. New baseboards had to be special ordered and custom painted because our original colors were obsolete. Jason completed the baseboards by day 3.
