"David and Alfonso were great. On time, a fair price and quality craftsmanship. The work preformed on repairing damaged flooring was seamless. There was a problem with working with old wood and before we could bring it to their attention, they had already noticed it and brought materials to address issue. Totally great work. Just to reiterate, totally professional. Thanks David."

"Chai, does the best work I have ever seen in the last 30 years! You just don't see workmanship like this all that much anymore. I would and am going to hire Chai again for some future projects. The attention to detail to detail is phenomenal. Just can't say enough about the craftsmanship. We will highly recommend Chai to all of our friends and family. Thanks again Chai for installing our beautiful floor."

"They did an excellent job the floors look fabulous. The kitchen floor,a 90 year old oak floor with years of water staining looks new. Very responsive on the phone. Pleasure to work with."

"Mr. Dubinsky was professional from the very start! He did a great job of explaining when I had questions and relieved and concerns I had about the job. We had put off having flooring installed because a good portion of it was ceramic tile and glued linoleum. We imagined it taking days to demolish all of the floors. I couldn’t believe it when his crew completed that back breaking work in one day! We were very impressed with how precise his crew installed our Pergola flooring and baseboards. Absolutely flawless!"

"I got three bids on this job. Glen was the only contractor that pointed out several safety (trip) issues and said he would fix them and include it in the price. His price was competitive and his workmanship was excellent. He refinished our FR floor from a dark oak stained parquet floor to a natural finish… so good. Our pups had peed and stained some of the flooring. Glen repaired or replaced all of the stained areas. He was always on time and kept us in the loop as to how long the job would take. We would recommend Glen without hesitation. He is a real pro!!!"

"We have agreed to terms to install tile for now."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"Bruce, our sales person, was very helpful in showing us various options and relating them to cost. We found carpet and padding that looks great and fit our budget. The visit to our home for measurement was timely and convenient for us. Installers were on time and conscientious. Overall a good experience."

"Quickly and simply installed my floor in a matter of hours. Very kind and hard workers. Price was almost the same as what was quoted on the phone."

"Budget Flooring redid our floor after a disastrous installation by another contractor.  The new floor looks great!
We've got an Eichler-style house, which makes everything difficult.  There's no subfloor - just an aging concrete slab - and the house is near sea level, so a modest amount of moisture seeps through the concrete.
Contractor #1 neglected to test for moisture and did a glue-down installation of solid wood flooring.  The glue didn't set properly because of the dampness, the wood absorbed moisture and warped, and finally when it got warm the wood expanded and buckled, leaving big mounds throughout the house.  A huge mess (happily, Amica Insurance sorted us out).
Vlad recommended a floating installation (to allow for thermal expansion) of engineered wood (to prevent absorption and warping) over a double moisture barrier (to reduce moisture in the first place).
His crew took 4 days total to do the installation, 2 days for each half of the house, which allowed us to move the furniture around during the installation instead of putting everything into storage.   On day 1 they did demolition and vapor barrier installation, and on day 2 they installed the wood.
The installers did a nice job, and it was clear they paid close attention to detail.  During the demolition, they pulled up some old linoleum in the kitchen, which installer #1 didn't do, and they cleaned up the old glue, which in my experience is an enormous pain.  The installation was neatly done, and there was almost no dust in the house after they were finished.  Even the baseboards had nice little touches: they caulked small gaps and deftly handled some existing molding that made for difficult installation in a few spots.  Notably, they trimmed the bottom of our front door to allow room for the added height from the moisture barriers, and they made room for some attractive molding.
I've since checked moisture levels in the floor, and they're just what they should be - less than 1/3 of what I measured with the previous floor.  I'm confident that the new floors will stay put for a long time.
The only hitch: we had a bit of a miscommunication about whether I wanted the whole house redone or everything but the kitchen (I asked for quotes for both).  Vlad ordered wood for the smaller job, but we wanted the larger.  We went ahead with the job with the understanding that the additional wood would be shipped in time to complete the job as originally scheduled.  The supplier was slow in shipping the additional wood needed, so we ended up having to be out of the house a few days longer than we had anticipated.  The final result, though, was totally worth the headache.
