I learned a valuable lesson that was decades in the making, by hiring Blue Valley Flooring. I discovered there are enormous differences in quality with flooring installation done by DIY, big box stores, and specialists. Blue Valley, by far, has earned my top recommendation for their expertise, professionalism, and superb workmanship. I didn't care how much the installation was going to cost. I just wanted it done right. Blue Valley was recommended by another superb contractor, Barry's Kitchens out of Shingle Springs that renovated our kitchen and bathrooms. When we first bought our house decades ago, there was ugly vinyl and carpet that our pets have destroyed over the years. We had an unlicensed handyman install some new vinyl that quickly failed from a slow leak. Then we had a big box store install some engineered wood that lasted 15 years. It was OK, but there were some imperfections. The house came with cheap baseboards that didn't cover gaps between the floor and wall. After that. I declared I will never hire anyone who isn't a general contractor anymore. After I hired Blue Valley, I was astonished at what really went into a professional installation. Mike (owner), Jeff (color expert), and Tristan helped me choose the right laminate flooring and color, and thicker baseboards. Without their experience and guidance, I would have been lost. Within weeks, they sent in an incredibly hard-working crew including Martin, Tony, and Christian, who arrived on time. Not only did they tear out and disposed off all the old carpet and flooring, they also moved the furniture, sanded down some areas that were uneven, and cleaned up after themselves. Plus, they were very communicative during the whole process. Their installation was meticulous. Then the painter, Gustavo, came in to paint the baseboards. He also was meticulous. The result was spectacular and dare I say, perfect? In conclusion, always consider a general contractor and listen to their wise suggestions. Also, don't go cheap. It's worth it to pay more for good products and good people with lots of experience. I am ecstatic with my new floor. I would highly recommend Blue Valley.
