Mon Aug 03 2009Regarding re packaging of materials. It is my undestanding that express buys the cheapest material they can get there hands on and repackages it into there own boxes. They then go as far as to tell the customer that there material comes with some over inflated and rediculous warranty. I've heard as high as 60 years!!! People if they want to warranty this material for those periods of time then thats great but you should ask for a copy of everything in writing. Don't be stupid consumers. They offer 60% off. 60% off of what. If 1200 feet of laminate costs you 10950.00. Then that means before your 60% discount you were at 17,520.00. SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR LAMINATE!!! Even TEN THOUSAND!!! 10,900 devided 1200 feet equalls 9 dollars a foot. for 9 a foot you can do a lot better then some cheap 39cent chinese garbage. Come on wake the hell up. THey get away with it because theres no price gouging laws in AZ. Your starting to see all these emails because the employees can't sleep at ... Read more

Wed Jun 24 2009Express Flooring Just a few words to let you know how pleased we are with the new flooring project you did for us. Your Design Consultant could not have been more helpful explaining annd showing the products available. He made it easy for us to make a choice on what we wanted done. Your installers were here when promised and did an excellent job. Being in construction all my life, I know good workmanship when I see it. My own employees have accused me of being too particular, however if I can see something that could have been done better, it should have been done better. The areas being floored were very chopped up, naot a very good place for an inexperienced installer to want to work on. The man you sent here was both very experienced and competent. it was obvious Shaun Marsh the installer, took pride in what he was doing. In this day and age we all feel we're paying too much for things, but I fully received my monies worth. Thank you for a job well done. Harlan Kloostra Arch... Read more

Wed Jun 24 2009Express Flooring Attn: Management July 9, 2008 Dear Management, I have recently utilized your company for the purchase and installation of both tile and carpet flooring. In the process of our lengthy and extensive remodel, we have used various companies, from the local hardware store, to Lowes and Home Depot, to painters and cabinet makers. In each and every instance, we have been disappointed and angered by the level of customer service and product delivery. In each instance, that is, with the exception of your company. In the case of our tile purchase and installation, we were pleased with the service, timeliness, cleanliness, and overall outcome. However, our carpet purchase had a snag when the wrong carpet was delivered for our installation. In this situation, one of your employees in particular, Andrea Baucon, went above and beyond your normal quality service. She worked diligently on our behalf to get the carpet delivered from Phoenix to Tucson. She kept in contact with me ... Read more

Wed Jun 24 2009Mr. Paul Smith Tucson Sales Manager Express Flooring Dear Mr. Smith, I am writing this letter to express my gratefulness in the way Express Flooring personnel from your Sales Team to your Installation Team conducted themselves during our business deal of buying to installing my new laminate flooring. First- Your Sales team arrived at my home ready to do business. They first told us about Express Flooring and how long they were in business, then told us about the quality of materials, and showed my wife and me samples of the colors we asked about. Then we got down to making a dealon how much money it was going to cost us for the type of Laminate flooring we wanted and a date for installation. I am very pleased with the deal we made. Second- Your Installation team showed up on time and went right to work. I know I had dealt with an experienced team as the men did not talk but each knew what to do and both men had the job started without any fuss or "OH" I forgot something. Each man di... Read more

Wed Jun 24 2009Jerry, This letter is to let you know about an employee that went above and beyond what was required of them. On May 13, 2006 I got my appointments and saw that one of them said please pick up some samples at the office. At first I thought the customer had come in and selected them. But I was wrong. I got to my 3:00 appointment and started to bring in the 7 or 8 different porcelain designer boards, that to me the customer picked out. then I asked the customer when did they pick it out? The customer informed me that she had only called in a talked to our customer service representative, and that they talked to them for over 30 minutes. And that they were extremely helpful and a total joy to talk to. The customer service person also set aside all the samples for me to pick up on their own. End result: after almost a six hour presentation of the items I brought in and the good feeling she had going in due to our more than helpful service person. I closed the deal at 33,101.10.

Wed Jun 24 2009Good afternoon, I had some laminate flooring installed today and I wanted to commend the two gentlemen who did the work. Mike and John. They were excellent workers. Fast, yet careful. They arrived around 8:30am and were done by 2:00pm. They answered all my questions with good nature. They informed me of different ways to care for the flooring. They kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up in all areas when they were finished. My favorite thing was their attitude, they seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They were very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. Good choice for sub contractors. Thank you for listening. Best regards Kathleen Dodd PS: I would also like to thank Bernard who did the sales and estimating. From some of the conversation I had with Mike during the installation, I learned that Bernard was an honest person who talked me out of some things and into others. I could try to explain that, But I won't. Suffice it to say I appreciate his candor in explaining the p... Read more

We are very appreciative of all of your follow up and help with a somewhat tricky installation. Without a doubt you are one of the most thorough professionals I have ever dealt with in my 38 years of business experience and you are an outstanding asset to Express Home Services.

We were very impressed with the sales associate, Aric, from Express Flooring, who was very thorough in our search for the "perfect tile" for our home, and answered the numerous questions that we asked. We are also very pleased with Chris Alt and Team, from Hollywood Tile. The end result is amazing!!

Wed Jun 24 2009I would like to thank your company for the great and fast service we received from you. It started with Tony Wormdahl ouor Design Consultant. He helped pick out the perfect tile for our home. He even went out of his way to calm me down when I was having second thoughts on the tile we picked. (yes I was one of those customers). When it came time to install which I might add was on time and fast. The two men who did our tile were very, very good and clean, efficient what else can I say the over all experience was great. Again thank you. I have told all my friends and will continue to promote your company. Sincerely, Dorree Ruiz

Wed Jun 24 2009To the president and/or CEO of Express Flooring, This is to inform you that I have dealt with many people who have worked in my Town House to make it more livable, but I have never met two more professional workers than Amir and Edin Kajtezovic. They have not only done a fabulous job in laying down the flooring in my home but they have been very engaging and very pleasant to talk to. I and my wife will recommend their work to anyone who may ask. You may use our names to anyone who may ask for recommendations. Sincerely, Harry and Loralee Harris Mesa, Arizona

Wed Jun 24 2009Attn: Dan Z. Excellent service from Mike Cardis your sales rep. I had a lot of reservations because we are new to the AZ area, we moved here from NY being there 50 years and using (our People). But Mike made it simple, he is so courteous. Then your two installers for our tile, What can I say but EXCELLENT, very professional, courteous, excellent job done. I would highly recommend them, your company to anyone!

Wed Jun 24 2009Gentlemen: I wish to tell you I have had tile work done before in my home but your Tile Person was excellent. He did a beautiful job. He had an excellent attitude very polite and cleaned up perfectly. I will consider doing business again with you if all your employees are like this young man. I took his name so I could write this letter about him Robert Goetz. Thanks again for a great job. Mrs. Jessie J. Rahner

Wed Jun 24 20094/26/2007 To all the good folks at Express Home Services; We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful job on our kitchen counters.

Wed Jun 24 2009This letter is to let Express Flooring know how I appreciate the courteous and professional manner that Bob and Miles displayed when they installed my carpet today. They went the extra mile to make sure that I was not inconvenienced, and that the workmanship was of the highest standard. Express Flooring should be pleased to have people like them working for them. Sincerely Jerry Kosowsky

Wed May 13 2009She quoted our price at $9000. When asked what that came down to per square foot, she said she didn't know. What??? No discussions of carpet brands, laminate brands i.e, why the price was so high. Was this a really high quality product? What kinds of carpet pads are available? Nothing. They come in with a few samples and you pick your favorite colors. I suppose this would be great for someone with a lot of money and absolutely no common sense. I ended up buying the laminate at Costco, putting it in myself (it's not hard) and having Home Depot do the carpet. It ended up costing me less than half of Express' quote. The salesgirl even asked what it would take for me to buy today. What is this, a used car lot?
by pursegal44
Thu Apr 16 2009I received 5 different estimates to do my entire downstairs with laminate flooring for less then $3000. Then comes Express Flooring and they quoted me $10,000??? Are you crazy?? They wouldn't tell me a definite price for installation even after I told them all five other companies were 99 cents a square foot. I would stay away...far far away from them. And expect a whole spiel to get you on board..I think buying a new car is easier then using Express Flooring!!

Fri Feb 20 2009Bait and switch, as simple as this. The product , warranty and price is not what they quote when they come to your house. They charged my credit card in full days before the install and this took months to fix. Do yourself a favor and shop Lowes, HomeDepot, or any other place besides Express Flooring or you will be sorry.

Tue Feb 10 2009I had a design consultant come out last week to show me some laminate flooring samples. The guy was very knowledgeable about the product that he showed me and with answering all my questions, I felt at ease, and signed the deal. I had 1400 feet installed and the whole thing, from start to finish was completed in 4 days. If you ever had a need for flooring this company is the way to go!

Tue Jan 13 2009I have had this company in my house. They are not what they claim to be. They will do or say whatever they have to to get you to sign a contract with them. After that your on your own. I had carpet installers show up to my house who barely spoke a lick of english. It is my belief that they were not even legal.It is also my belief that they sub out all there work. They don't care what joker they send over to do the work. Thats why the lost there B etter biusiness b1ureau status and have so many complaints with the ROC. But that takes second seat to the fact that Express over charged me by thousands on my carpet and didn't even deliver the carpet that I had picked out. The only thing that got them even remotely interested in making it right is when i went to the ROC. After I post this I'm sure A few good reviews will follow. It is my belief that they have someone within there company who responds to derogatory reviews. Don't believe the good reviews. THIS IS NOT A GOOD COMPANY TO DO BUS... Read more

Tue Apr 01 2008the Happy ex employee didnt even begin to scratch tthe surface. this comapny has an actual plan in place that consists of doing everythig they can to rip off the customer. If a person want s to cancel there contract and get there money back, the plan is to pass the customer from rep. to rep. hopping that either 48 hours will pass and they can keep a restocking fee form the deposit, or one of the reps will be able to smooth talk the customer back. they have no consideration for small jobs, and the only reason they have a high rating on this website is because employees of Express are assigned to boost the ratings and write false positive reviews. They are conartisits. Be sure to check there rep with the better business b. and on websites like this citysearch. you will be able to tell which ones are written form actual customers and which are from Express employees. Do some research before choosing this company.

Wed Mar 26 2008Ah, the disgruntled ex employee rant. Well, we had Express Flooring put in travertine at my home and it turned out great. I didn't notice they got kicked out of the better bureau, but whatever, they did a good job for me. And they do have a business license to operate in Arizona, I did check that out. So, I guess the ex-employee is just a liar.

Mon Oct 15 2007I dig the tile they put in my house in Tempe last month. The salesmen showed up to my house on time, was knowledgeable and courteous. The installers came a little later in the day than I expected, but they got the job done faster than I expected. And now I can invite friends over to my house without being embarassed about the bathroom floor.

Wed Oct 03 2007The salesmen could not have been more helpful explaining and showing the products. The installers were here when promised and did a wonderful job. I've worked in construction for 35 years and I know good work when I see it. I certainly got my money's worth.

Sun Sep 16 2007I have to say that I am so completely satisfied with not only the product I purchased, but mostly the absolute competence shown by Steve on the installation of my floor. He was extremely particular and an absolute joy to have working in my home. He was far and away one of the hardest working man I have ever experienced in my life. Express Flooring should be very proud and grateful to have him in their employ. Competent help in this day and age is very rare.

Wed Sep 12 2007We would like to thank you for having installers that were very professional. On the instructions were to place vinyl over vinyl. Well, the installers realized that the old vinyl would not be a good thing to have the new vinyl over-laid. So with our permission, they removed the old vinyl and prepared the floor. They said the old vinyl was no glued very well and they wanted to make sure the new vinyl was installed the right way. You can be proud that you have installers that care for the customer.

Wed Sep 12 2007My husband and I would like to place on record how delighted we both are with the re-carpeting of our verandah and the steps. Our thanks to your staff who were most efficient and co-operative and the final outcome is nothing but all that we could have wished for. We shall not hesitate, therefore, to recommend you to any neighbors who also require a similar job. Should we in the future need any further work indoors, you many rest assured we shall ask you to let us have a quotation. Very best wishes for the future, and a happy Easter to you all.

Mon Sep 10 2007Best installers ever. These dudes got a tile job done in one day at my home in Phoenix. Didn't miss a beat and they even came back the next day to make sure it was all liad down right since there was a question of the grout drying in time. Got it all done in time for me to put the house on the market.

Sun Sep 09 2007These guys know what they're doing. I had them do a huge job at my home in Scottsdale. Tile, carpet and laminate. Took them three days, but that's because they had to wait stuff to dry. The price was right, the service was great and the one problem I had was handled by a professional who did me the courtesy of knocking a hundred bucks off the job. I'd strongly recommend them.

Sun Sep 09 2007Everyone I dealt with at Express Flooring was kind, intelligent and understanding. I did have some problems with my carpet installation (the carpet didn't come in when they said it would), nonetheless, when the job was completed it was superb. Even when I was getting frustrated with them, their customer service staff understood me and worked as quickly as possible to resolve the problem. I'm very pleased with them and have recommended them to friends and family.

Sat Sep 08 2007We at Express Flooring wish to point out that sailor50, partyo54, and azuresky1111 are not customers of Express Flooring. They all cancelled their contracts before we could ever perform any of our magnificient services for them. Why they've all chosen to disparage our good name is beyond our rational minds to comprehend. We at Express Flooring of course sympathize with mental illness and urge each of them to seek professional assistance for their disorders. The user 'dodiepal' is a special case of irrationalism. She was a customer of ours at one point and has decided to launch a personal and lonely crusade against Express Flooring for reasons that also mystify us. Please see our previous advice concerning professional assistance. The record clearly shows that the overwhelming majority of our customers are completely satisified.

Sat Feb 24 2007I too hastily entered into a contract with this firm on Jan. 18, 2007. The next day I regretted my haste and legally broke the contract with a phone call and a certified letter mailed to Express Home Flooring in Phoenix. That was almost 40 days ago. As yet, I cannot get my $3294+ returned. Each time I call I get excuses and the run-around. I have filed a formal complaint with the Arizona Attorney General office and also am filing one with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. If you look up the ROC's website, you will see that many, many complaints have been filed against this company. Buyer Beware!
by partyo541
Sun Jan 07 2007Luckly I cancelled my contract in time. It took 3 emails to get them to respond to me. Then they came to my home. They overpriced by $600.00 over 3 other estimated I received. When I cancelled contract they did not care. I have since only read bad things about them online and the Bureau has cancelled their membership...to many unanswered complaints. 105+ in the last year. I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT USE THIS COMPANY AND CANCELLED IN TIME> Shop around any deal will be better with better work.

Wed Dec 06 2006Measured my townhome and were over by 300 sq ft. They promise you vacation trips but really you are paying for it in their contract. I was going to be charged almost $5000 for 700 sq ft. My townhome is only 1006 sq ft. Not sure where they got 700 since it is a two bedroom place. I received a new estimate by another company and the square footage was only 500 sq ft and the cost was around $2000 and they were excellent. Express Flooring cashed my $100 check and then didn't refund it to me for over 2 months. I had to contact the Bettor Business Bureau to get my check back. Express Flooring is a company I would never like to have my worst enemy deal with!!
