Get matched with top luxury vinyl flooring installers (materials not provided by consumer) in Bayside, NY

"Pros: - Flooring work was fine; new floor looks good. - Prices were reasonable. - They were flexible when we told them we wanted the underfloor ripped out and replaced (this increased the project cost, but that was fair). - They got the necessary paperwork for the co-op to approve the renovation pretty fast. Cons The mess: - We've had our kitchen and bathroom renovated, and those contractors took steps to minimize the damage: they put up plastic sheeting every day to cover the walls/doorways; used butcher paper on the floor to create a path for themselves so they wouldn't leave bootprints; etc. These guys didn't do that, so I had to do a lot of frantic vacuuming/scrubbing each afternoon. - There are also drops of sealant on the hallway floor outside the nursery that I haven't been able to clean off; I asked if they had any recommendations in an email but they did not respond. Communication was an issue almost from the start: -On the day the new flooring was supposed to arrive, the delivery window came and went so I called and asked what was up. Turned out there was a delay in getting the shipment and the floor would arrive the next day. Which was fine, but it would've been nice if they'd told me that before I used up a "work from home" day for no reason. - After the old floor was ripped out and the sealant placed on the underfloor, we were told to let them know if we still noticed the cat urine smell. We didn't, but only because there was an overwhelming scent of something burnt in the room. We assumed this was the sealant. We called about the new smell, and they came back to put another coat of sealant on the next day (Friday). At that point, the guy doing the work told us that the smell wasn't the sealant, but melted wax on the underfloor. Which would've been good to know the day before. (Also: 10 minutes after he did the sealant and left, another guy wearing a Spagnoli t-shirt -- someone we'd never met -- knocked on our door and asked to use our bathroom. We said sure, because when you gotta go, you gotta go, but it was pretty weird. Especially since there are two fast food restaurants within sight of our building, both with restrooms, and we're a third-floor walk-up so not the most convenient option.) - We decided that since the underfloor smelled too bad to gage whether the urine smell was contained, it had to go. To their credit, they got back to me on Sunday night (I left a message on Saturday) and agreed to tear out the underfloor and replace it with plywood the following week. - After the underfloor was removed, the guy doing the work told me his boss would call me later that day to discuss timing/next steps. No one called. I called the next morning and got the "I was just about to call you!" response. - The day the guys were installing the new underfloor and flooring, I reminded them that they had to be out by 5 pm (co-op rules, and they'e very strict on this point). They were surprised, so I guess no one showed them the contract/list of regulations. If I hadn't been home to tell them to leave, my husband and I could've gotten in big trouble with our building. - On the last day of work, I left a check for the remainder of the fee on our table. I got an email a short while later with the final invoice, which said I owed $25 more than the amount on the check. I asked if I could pay that by mail, and they said not to bother, which was nice of them. Except then I took a closer look at the invoice, and saw that they had my initial deposit amount as $25 less than what it actually was. So my check was for the correct amount. - I came home on the last day to (a) dust everywhere and on everything; and (b), an unopened box of flooring. I called and asked about the box, and they said it was in case I ever needed spare floorboards in the future to repair broken ones. If they'd bothered to check with me or my husband, they would've known that we had absolutely nowhere to store this box. I emailed and said they could either pick it up by Monday, or we'd toss it. They emailed back and said they'd come get it Tuesday. They actually came and got it on Wednesday. (And no one bothered to call me on Tuesday -- I had to call them, again.)"

"Knowledgeable sales people, excellent installers."

"Great experience working with Phil and staff. Phil was patient, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He gave me advice on flooring materials, answered all my questions and responded to my text super quickly! The staff provided all the necessary documents my building requested for the installation. I was able to get an installation appointment scheduled within a week. The installer were great, super professional, worked quickly, and did a seamless job. I definitely recommend Bay Carpet. Truly excellent service indeed!"

"Mr. Orvin from Meza's construction provided fantastic customer service and workmanship. He did an excellent job installing my new vinyl wood flooring. I am very pleased with the job done and I would definitely use his services again."

"Defender flooring installed a plywood subfloor over slate and then floated 4’ luxury vinyl planks over that. The job came out great and was done within 2 days."

"I contacted Handy Dominick based on the terrific reviews he received on Angie's List. From my experience I can confirm those reviews are well-deserved. Dominick was a pleasure to work with. The quality of the work was excellent and so was the timing. I was under a tight deadline to get my apartment into shape and Dominick fit me into his schedule and then got everything done on time as promised . This was especially noteworthy because in several cases the work was more involved than expected (for example, it turned out that the previous kitchen floor had not been installed properly) and also I added a few items to the project as it went along. Besides the "big stuff" - painting and replacing the kitchen floor - Dominick addressed my accumulated wish list of minor repairs and enhancements. For example, he fixed closet doors that weren't closing properly, replaced a defective bathtub spout, replaced a rusty shower rod, installed a new shower head, Dominick is a problem-solver. He had great suggestions, for example he came up with an attractive way to insulate a heating pipe and upgraded my lighting by finding LED fixtures ("cans") that worked with my old track light track. Additionally, I appreciated Dominick's familiarity with working in co-ops. He was great on providing all the required paperwork - license, insurance certificate, indemnity agreement. And he fully complied with all the co-op's rules regarding work hours, removal of debris, etc. As in any project, there was a punch list at the end (in this case really just a few odds and ends), and Dominick was very gracious and attentive in resolving those items. I came away feeling very happy with the work itself and also very happy with the experience of meeting and working with Dominick and his wife Maria (who handles some of the scheduling and paperwork). I know I am repeating myself but Dominick was a pleasure to work with. With his positive attitude and creativity, he took situations that seemed hard and complicated and made them look easy."

"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"

"They are professionals in floor installation, I would recommend them."

"Mr. Ravi, and his office assistant, Theirsa, were very professional, responsive, and accommodating to any concerns or questions I had. I found his pricing to be reasonable, and he provided me with a realistic timeline. I was very happy with the fencing crew he sent. They were respectful, arrived on time, and communicated with me when they would encounter challenges. A special shout out to Yuvin, Dave, and Vijai*, if you have this crew, you will be very satisfied with their workmanship and overall knowledge. I highly recommend Raifa Construction for your fencing needs."

"I cant say enough positive things about Powers Performance Construction. They gave us the most honest quote, with full transparency as to what the materials costs - including receipts - and then were the kindest and most detailed oriented when it came to the work in our home. Client comes first for these guys. I had thought because it was a smaller job, they might not take it so seriously but these guys exceeded our expectation. 5 stars"
