All About Floors

A friend of ours recently had her flooring in her kitchen and living room done and highly recommended All About Floors. This was the best experience I’ve had with any sort of home remodelling venture I’ve done in the last 10 years. And with a 1920’s cottage we’ve been bringing back, room by room, we’ve had a lot of dealings with the good, bad and the ugly
I visited their showroom on a Saturday after Thanksgiving. It’s a vast showroom with much to offer! I had my 22 month old, and, since it was a holiday weekend, they had their 4 or 5 year old granddaughter «helping» out. The kids took off playing, while the installer chased after them (thanks!!!) so that I could look at flooring samples with the owner and discuss my options.
1. These folks know flooring. The owner has been doing it since he was a young man, helping his father. And their selection beats any Lowe’s or Home Depot, or even other flooring locations I’ve been to.
2. I thought I wanted sheet vinyl or linoleum. Turns out, I didn’t. After showing me all comparable options within my price range, I chose this awesome «fiberfloor» product made by Tarkett. All About Floor is a licensed dealer/​installer. It was equal the cost of vinyl, but has a lifetime guaranty and does not yellow, split, curl or have mold issues later on. And with 4 big dogs and a toddler, that’s VERY important to me! I was able to take sample books home without paying some silly refundable deposit like at Lowe’s or Home Depot for one single floor sample.
4. The owner came personally and took measurements, He took the time to ask me what else I was going to do with the kitchen. Advised me that out of the samples I took home, the one I picked was a nice fit – that he wasn’t sure at first given my dimensions, but he liked the way the sample looked and felt good about installing the floor. Says to me that he values me as a customer and wants my satisfaction.
5. The installation was carefree. There were no surprise hidden costs or extras; the owner and another installer did it themselves – arrived at 10, were done by 4 or so, and they did a topnotch job. Even provided detailing like rubber molding at my cabinet base to make the finishing flawless.
