We decided to get wood flooring, and we went to another major company first. Their price was a little high, but they have a good reputation. I found it strange, but they wouldn't give a real estimate on the flooring. They said they had to see the floor underneath, but I didn't understand how I was supposed to commit to a job when I had no idea of the price for installation.

We decided to shop around and went to Ace Flooring. They gave me an estimate for the installation, and told me that if there were issues with the floor underneath that the price would only go up about $100. Also, their price overall was better by a third from the previous store's price.

Sandy gave the estimate and came to do the measuring. She told us it was going to be an involved job, which the other company had said as well, so she was going to have her husband be the installer. He has a lot of experience, so he did our flooring.

We have a sunken living room with a couple of steps, and the steps were a challenge. This installer made the steps look like the showpiece of our living room. When you look at the flooring the steps stand out. The way he put the molding and did the steps is outstanding. Before you might have seen it as just a step, but not the way he did it.

Everything turned out better than we thought. Ace Flooring is a small company. I was hesitant at first to use them because they are small, but I am really happy I went with them. They did a great job.
