"If you are reading this review, I wish I could speak to you face to face and tell you (implore you) not to use Flaker Flooring for services. We hired them to install laminate hardwood flooring in our small condo in Keowee Key. We hired them based on decent prices and decent reviews. There were issues with timing and punctuality. The price was increased twice due to needing to to extra work to level (which we agreed to with no issue). Once the work was "complete" there were issues. There were missing transition pieces, missing pieces near the sliding glass door, missing quarter round in areas, and BUBBLING in the flooring. We adressed our concerns and transition pieces and quarter round were added. Upon final inspection the cuts to the wood, around corners, vents, etc were rough. There were gaps at corners that the quarter round didn't cover and there were bubbles/humps throughout the flooring. Never have I seen floors that are not flat. We were told by the contractor that there was nothing he could do and the floors would settle. These were there upon installation. Well, about 6 months later, the bubbles have become large hills in the flooring, and the floor is rising to the point where doors no longer shut because they scrape the flooring. When we called the contractor back out, he said he had no idea why that was happening and wasn't sure how to fix it. We had a reputable flooring contractor come out and inspect the floors. He said that without a doubt, this was an install error. The floors were installed way too tight. There is supposed to be space where the floor meets the wall. This is what the quarter round is there to cover. There was no space. The subfloor also had issues that we were never made aware of. The new contractor stated Flaker Flooring should have never placed floors without replacing the subfloor. There were no temperature or moisture issues present. Again, we never heard a word about it. We paid $7k to have the flooring replaced (as it was unusable) and the work redone. We have asked Flaker Flooring to simply refund their work, and they have yet to. The bottom line is: if you are looking for quality work and a contractor that has integrity and will stand by their work (especially if they make errors)... look elsewhere, and be sure their work comes with a warranty. Please don't trust the other reviews as we did. Please do not use this contractor. You will likely have to have the work redone."
