Birken Construction

Sep 2021

Long overdue review! Birken Flooring was my intro into home renovation services. My realtors company have a great relationship with Steve from Birken Flooring and his brother is with Birken Construction. Steve is the type of contractor you dream of meeting- honest, insightful and knows the business and all the connecting companies to do anything in general contracting. They have done plenty of residential work over the years and some big ticket venues like remodeling the Jags locker room, or renovating the bathrooms at the Jacksonville Symphony. AND MORE! Steve handled my flooring and gave me so many recommendations for other projects- from electrical to plumbing to where to find the best countertops! I've come to rely on "Steve the floor guy" recommendations! So- my floors! They only use quality products- we went with a wood laminate ProGen - Cerused Oak POWDER, 20 mil. As Steve put it- you could drop a bowling ball on it and it won't be damaged. It's also waterproof! This brand is highly recommended among reputable flooring companies. We didn't touch the bathrooms (they are tiled) but ripped up all the carpet and the tile in the kitchen and the entryway. I love my floors! Steve also had his "best tile" guys redo my fireplace with a weathered brick I bought from Floor & Decor. During renovations before we moved in Steve and I would just stand and stare at the beautiful fireplace once it was finished! It reminded him of his childhood home~ lovely sentiments. We have been in the house since February and still call Steve for recommendations and for work! His tiling guy will be doing my kitchen backsplash soon! Steve said to me- we treat our employees well and then they do exceptional work and our customers spread the word about our business. Birken Flooring isn't found on Google except for the business licensing- no website, just word of mouth! That's a true compliment to his work~ Highly Recommend!
