    laminate flooring

    I checked around with a few companies, this one is close to my home and I was given a good quote. The installation was slow but it was done correctly. I was in a rush to have in installed so I was grateful that someone was able to do it. They removed the existing ceramic tile, it was more than 30 years old and very hard to remove, red dust was everywhere. However, it is finished now and everyone loves it.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Judy, I remember that red dust very well. Tile is always a nightmare I'm afraid but I'm glad your floors turned out so nicely. Take care and enjoy your new home. All the best, Jeannie

    engineered hardwood

    I spent some time looking for a good company to lay my floors. This company was very well informed and extremely helpful. The installation looks fine however there are a few spots that bounce. We have not yet moved in so they claim that once the furniture is on the floor it will not bounce. I hope that works.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi there, thanks for the review, I'm not sure why your floor has a few spots that bounce, but if this is still the case when you move in, please let us know and we will most certainly come and take a look. Kind regards Jeannie

    new carpeting

    We found this company on the internet. We have to say that it was an excellent experience dealing with them, in fact the best experience we have ever had during a renovation of any kind. We had them remove all the old carpeting and move a great deal of furnishings. The work went smoothly, they worked long hours and their clean up was phenomenal. They even did some touch up work on a Sunday which suited us perfectly. The owner was exceedingly accommodating in arranging times for measurement and installation. The chief installer (Russ) was very competent and professional.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Ian, thanks so much for the great review, we genuinely appreciate it and couldn't be more pleased that you were happy with your floors and our Service. If we can help with any future projects, please don't hesitate to call us. Kind regards Jeannie

    laminate flooring

    Friends of mine had dealt with this company before me, they claimed that they were helpful and very nice, which they were.. They had a good experience and so did I. The installers were very organized and cleaned as they went. I asked for a break between the two days of installation so I could clean and move furniture around and the accommodated that for me.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Judy, thanks for the review, we really appreciate it. Thanks for all the recommendations too. You're a darling! We are so happy you love your floors. Take care of yourself, All the best, Jeannie

    new hardwood floors

    This store is conveniently located to me, plus they offered a good price and service. They came to measure the 5 rooms we wanted replaced. The installation went fine, it took 3 or 4 days. The product is great, the finished floor looks perfect.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Brock, thanks for the review. I would love some photos of your floor if you have any - you have my email. I'm so pleased you were happy with the end result. Thanks again, All the best, Jeannie

    hard floor in master bedroom

    I went to their location in Newmarket and they suggested a Bruce product for my floor. I agreed to pay for all is needed for a professional job done. Now after only 1 month after installation, our floor is chipping, denting, cracking on edges and corners. I have contacted them and they keep saying it's my fault although I have been very careful with my new floor. They said it's "unfortunate" and that hardwood floors scratch and chip all the time. Not happy with this product after spending so much.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for taking the time to write to Homestars. We do address all our comments good and bad. Whilst we can appreciate you are upset about scratches and dents in your wood, it is a fact that all wood will scratch and all wood will dent, even the hardest on the Janka scale. When customers come in to our store, we can guide them and generally show them a range of products that suit their budget, but at the end of the day, the decision on what to buy is always left to customer. At the time we left your home, you were happy with the installation and the hardwood. Some time later when you called to draw our attention to the scratches, dents and chips, we came out to see you straight away and on a later visit we also brought the Bruce representative to look at the complaint. What you must understand, is that when any rep visits such a claim they will always ask questions such as "how is the traffic in your home?", "do you have children or pets?". This helps to give an overall picture of the general wear and tear level that can be expected on the hardwood. Sadly if the scratches and dents appear some time after installation and the rep feels they are man-made, he will report that to his company. The claim is then professionally assessed and taken to its full conclusion. I believe the rep did not finish his assessment on this occasion, and therefore we were unable to take this any further for you. Regarding the actual wood you purchased, Bruce is a very well known brand of hardwood, and one we sell almost daily without complaint. In fact it is used widely in many new homes. We do feel that throughout your renovation we behaved professionally and went the extra mile, as we do for all our customers. We also believe that we dealt with your complaint in an equally professional manner. We are not perfect, far from it, but when we are at fault we work tirelessly to address the situation and as our reviews show, we generally do a great job. Again, I am sorry you were disappointed in the wood you chose. Kind regards, Jeannie

    hardwood floors, stairs and bannister

    This store is conveniently located close to home. It was easy to bring home samples of flooring because of its proximity. Jeannie s extremely accommodating and has a good personality to do business with. The installation went very well. Ken, the lead carpenter on the team is very good, he was able to work with curves and cut odd shapes to make it all fight just right. We are extremely happy with the look of the finished job.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Daniel, I'm so sorry for not responding sooner - I have no idea how I missed it as I reply to all reviews. I really do appreciate that you took the time though and glad you had a good experience. Thank you again for your business, it was much appreciated. Kind regards, Jeannie

    new hardwood floors

    I took my parents to Floor Direct North for hardwood floors. Jeannie was great from the beginning to the end. She offered good advice and was very patient. There was no high pressure and very supportive.She gave us samples to take home to aid in the decision . The installation went well, the product is excellent.It made a big difference on the main floor, which is 7 rooms.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Shannon, I'm on Homestars checking our listing and noticed that it says I haven't replied. I would have sworn that i did reply back in February so I apologize for the late response. I was so happy to be part of giving your mum her new floor which i know she'd been wanting. She chose the perfect wood to compliment the home and I know Ken did a great job installing for you too. It was a big project for sure and I hope the new look is now being enjoyed by all. Thanks again for choosing us Shannon. Kindest regards, Jeannie

    Hardwood floor installation

    We had a great experience working with the owner Ben and his team both in picking our floors and having them installed. We love the final results! Ben and his staff were wonderful, sharing their knowledge and helping us to ensure we found exactly what we wanted. Ben came to do an estimate and was extremely professional. The entire process from start to finish quick and efficient and we are thrilled with our new floors. We will definitely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for flooring.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for taking the time to write the review, we really appreciate it. We're glad you had such a good experience with Ben and the team, and that you are so thrilled with your choice of floor. Thanks again, Jeannie.
