    This company does not stand behind flooring and labor covered under warranty. Now, since it has been about 3 months since filing our claim, we are now told the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is about a 10k lesson learned for us.

    The floor was installed in 2022. We immediately had problems. The planks warped, bowed, and came apart. The top of the planks separated from the base. The installer has returned twice, but the problems only got worse. LL Flooring continues to delay and is now saying the warranty period has passed. They lied about trying to reach us along with other lies about the warranty. Learn from our misfortune.

    Terrible experience with the company. I bought floor because sales said it was in stock. It's been 5 weeks and they won't deliver my order, they won't let me pick up, and the company is a rip-off. They will not cancel the order or refund my money.

    Maybe a year ago we had LL Flooring to do a job for us on the kitchen floor. The results were horrible from the start. They said that the floor was not level but they could handle it with some of the products they use. Long story short, upon completion of installation gaps started to appear and when we complained they sent someone out to replace the boards. The gist of the conversation that I had with the installer was that this product would not hold up to wheelchairs. Evidently, this is true because the flooring did not hold up in high-traffic areas such as in front of the stove and sink which is where the photos in this review were taken.

    No warranty that will do anyone any good. Put the floors in during Covid shut downs in 2020 and tried a warranty about a year later when the flooring was coming apart and cracking and they claimed it was performing up to their standards. Now in 2024 the whole thing has to be replaced and the company has no solution. It appears we were sold the wrong underlayment and this caused the thin planks to give and Crack. Now we have a huge replacement and cost to figure out. These floors are sold as is. Buyer beware. They do not stand by their products.

    The installation of our LL Flooring was good. But the installers didn't speak English well. He used the translator app on his phone, which was fine. They worked really fast. I was pleased with the way they worked and did their job. They were done within a few hours. However, the end cap, that's the transition from the plank to the carpet that's in the hallway. It came bent. But that was my only complaint and when they put it in, it still stayed bent a little bit. I ended up having to put books on top of it, which helped a little bit. But I can still notice. Probably somebody who didn't know it was bent wouldn't notice, but I noticed it. But I got the Shoreway and it's a great color. It's not too red. I didn't want it red or yellow. It's a good color and it looks like wood. Hopefully, it'll wear well.

    We used them for carpet and it's been a bad experience. The installation left us with a seam 4" into the hall instead of where the room meets the hall and the carpet is going in the wrong direction. I called and asked them to please come out and look at the carpet, I sent pictures. After several back-and-forths, they sent out the people who did the installation, a contracted group, and their answer was to stretch the seam.

    Now it's been a few months, and we never heard back from them, and the carpet is of the lowest quality. With normal use, it is already staining and needs to be professionally cleaned, and from day one, it had a musty old smell. When I asked the installer if they thought the carpet was going in the right direction, that person said that's what the direction said. It seems to me LL Flooring is subcontracting our business to the cheapest labor they can find. Also, we received a bankruptcy letter regarding LL Flooring so why is their rating still so good... The guys I spoke with on the phone were nice enough, but it was always someone else who made the decisions. All I can say is beware of where you find your ratings.

    I am a real estate broker with 15 years experience with other flooring companies and consumers, and I was very familiar with LL Flooring's product and other customer experiences. I knew I was gonna work with LL for my own home. It was wonderful when I did my purchase. I walked into the showroom and talked with the rep that was there. I told him exactly what I wanted for the carpeting, that I have a dog, and that I wanted extra padding. It took me 15 minutes to pick out what I wanted for the carpeting and schedule the install. I explained that for work, I was going out of the country and I was trying to get everything picked out so the materials could come in for when I got back so I could have it installed. I gave about a month lead time from whenever I was in the showroom till when I got back so everything could be installed.

    For the engineered hardwoods, what I originally wanted was sold out and wasn't being reordered. But it worked out seamlessly because it forced me to look around the showroom and pick out something that I ended up liking much better. What I ended up ordering was comparable in pricing as well. The carpeting went seamlessly. They were in and out less than a full day. The hardwood process was a little clunky, and I was not entirely thrilled with it. The contractors themselves were fantastic and all around good group of guys. But the materials being dropped off for the hardwoods, because they have to be in an AC environment, they did not communicate with the warehouse and the other vendor, so I ended up being a project manager for them. I am used to doing that because I've been around construction for almost 20 years, but that is not the consumer’s job. They should have someone on the inside doing that.

    I had to talk to the driver and tell him the information that he needed for the job. For instance, the house was vacant because I had all the floors being done before I moved in. He was saying that the job was gonna have to be rescheduled because the flooring needed to sit for a couple days and we couldn't do install on the same day as flooring. I said, "It’s a two-part job. The carpeting is being done on one side of the house. You can deliver. The driveway will be empty. You can put your materials on the other side of the house. It'll sit for a full 24 hours before the team for the floor comes in.” I also had to walk him through every step of the job so he would deliver materials.

    The flooring itself is seamlessly installed. It's beautiful. The guys took out my washer, dryer, range, and refrigerator which were the only things that were in the house. Then they put them back and rehooked them up for me. I was in and out because I thought the install was only going to take two days max for the flooring. I had surgery scheduled on day three and could not be here, so I had to send friends and family to check in on them periodically.

    The installation took an entire five days. They were here a lot longer and the trim look a little unfinished. There are parts where they cut the trim and the bare, natural wood is exposed on the end where everything else is white. There are parts where they didn't do the trim continued on the stair rise, but they did it on the bottom where it met the floor so I can see light or darkness behind the steps where I need to go back in with my own nail gun and finish it off or have a handyman do it. Since the wood flooring rose the height of the floor up, my closet door could not go back on the hinges at the entry for the closet, so I have to find a handyman to plane it because I can't put it back on. It's off its hinges right now in the entry way and looks a little sloppy until I find a carpenter that'll come in just for a one-off job to plane a singular door. But I would still recommend LL Flooring. They're well priced.

I live in Espanola and they were gonna charge me three or four times more. I'm so pleased with LL Flooring I wanna do my whole house and I will go through LL Flooring again. There was a problem and they had to go and buy something from Lowe's because the floor was not even underneath the carpet. They did it so fast.

    I got vinyl flooring from LL and I did the installation myself. It was at a good price. It's just I didn't get the right stuff that I purchased. So, if I could have gotten the right stuff I purchased, it would have been a lot better. When I got to the store, they didn't even have the product I ordered and they didn't know where it went. So, I had to go back. Then they gave me something that was totally different than what I ordered. But because I had already loaded it up, I just kept it because I wasn't gonna reload up some odd boxes and take back in my minivan. They had already discounted it prior because it was on a clearance. So, it was already discounted, but they didn't offer me any further discount than what it was already on clearance.

    I'd tell others to go to Carpet One or somewhere else. The people at LL were extremely nice, and the guy that was helping me the initial time was very nice. It was just the quality. I was gonna return the product and they're going out of business up here, so I didn't return it. I offered to take it back, but I didn't really want to because I don't wanna deal with it in my cost. They said that they didn't have anybody in the town to deliver. So, they didn't offer me delivery. So, I loaded it up in my minivan and my husband's Kia and we took it home. So, I did ask if they wanted to return it that way and they could figure out how to get it back. I would have done that. But past that, they didn't want to and I wasn't going to load it back up in my car. So, I just kept it.

    I originally talked to the LL Flooring location in Riverhead about a flooring that I wanted and they took a long time to get back to me. Then, when said they had it for me, they said that it was sold out. They're perfectly nice people, but they weren't able to get my order done. So, I called the Astoria location. They found it for me in another state and arranged shipping. They went above and beyond. They did everything so quickly, beautifully, and efficiently. They also followed up every step of the way and there was really great communication. And any obstacles, they solved. I love the Astoria location and I would work with them any time I need new flooring. They were really easy to work with and Shaf, the rep who answers the phone, was so helpful. I got vinyl flooring and I like it. But it seems a tiny bit soft and I wish it was a little harder. Other than that, the installation team was excellent.

    Do not touch this company, they have a very bad overall reputation. We bought $13,000 worth of flooring from the Brighton store. Within 2 weeks it started warping and creaking, The installers tried to repair it by firing tons of unsightly nails into it. It got worse. The installers eventually concluded that the flooring material was defective and would report this to LL Flooring. Then there was a journey of stalling, passing between departments, sending videos, snapshots of my nest showing that I never went over 50% humidity for a whole year. Etc. Etc. No real review of the data I sent occurred, just a standard answer "it must be the humidity". I proved it wasn't.

    I am about sure the company when they went chapter 11 in August 2024. This allows the company to downsize 94 out of 300 stores but continue it's dishonorable business practices. Also, not pay their creditors and screw all customers out of warranty. The company will still be the same after chapter 11, my advice, stay well clear of this company. Research them, they have a history of not honoring their warranties.

    I went to LL Flooring and the man was very clear about what I could look for, what I shouldn't look for, and he showed me what areas in the store to look at. I was looking for something that was durable with eight cats, a dog, and I had my father. I needed something very easy to clean because they cause messes. When I went there, I told the man, “I need something really durable. I need something really flat that won't basically move, because my dad sometimes uses the walker, sometimes he uses a cane. I don't wanna redo it in three years.” If it is a one and done kind of thing.

    The man I talked to at LL Flooring was, “Walk over this area of the store. Look at these three shelves. Those are what you're looking for.” There was no hesitation. There was no back and forth. It was, “Look at these three shelves. If those colors don't match, we can always find you something else. But this is why you should do it this way.” He was incredible. In no way did he ever say to me, “Oh, maybe you should bring your husband back.” He talked to me direct, and wasn't patronizing. He was very kind, which if you're a single woman doing home improvements, you know that that does not always go that way.

    The installers were very professional. As soon as those guys came in, I was, “I'm really sorry about the kitchen. I know it's kind of a F’ed.” But they got it all up and everything installed. They came in at eight o'clock when they said they would, and left at 6:00. One spoke English well, one did not. The one who didn't speak English great was also incredibly respectful. They looked at me when they were speaking to me. I didn't feel weird by having two weird dudes in my house. They were respectful.

    They got it done in a day. And they told me what to expect and what not to do, which I appreciated. I brought coffee and I bought them lunch, and they were incredibly thankful. They had to put in a transition piece, and they told me. The glue for the transition piece would take 24 hours. So, just made sure our animals didn't pee on it so that way it would full seal to the flooring.

    I recommended LL Flooring to three more people. I tell all my girlfriends every time they break up flooring, “Just go to them.” And I keep saying the vinyl I got, which is the higher end vinyl, that looks nothing like you used to remember vinyl looking. Everyone who has come into my house said it has made a huge difference. I have original wood floors. I like LL Flooring so much. I had them extended into the dining room. I was originally just going to do my kitchen. And after I talked to the guy, I was, “Screw it,” and I had it done through my living room into my dining room. I went with a bigger space and paid more money than I originally would. Everyone keeps saying how much better it looks.

    I was looking for a particular flooring. I bought a new house and the flooring that's already here is an LL floor and I wanted to complete it. But when I bought the floor and had it picked up, it wasn't the right one I thought it was. I sent it back, and LL Flooring took it back without a problem. I had to find out from the previous homeowners what flooring it was but LL said they no longer carried that flooring. The young lady told me that she would check to find out where it was and she did. She called me back in a day or two and found out that the flooring was in another store and that they had enough flooring for me, which was perfect because I thought I was gonna have to change the whole floor. She went out of her way to find that so I was very pleased with the whole process.

    The quality of the flooring is excellent. I originally thought I would switch to wood flooring because that's what I had in my previous home and part of it was a Lumber Liquidators floor. I had Brazilian cherry and really loved it. But this floor is such a nice high-quality vinyl and it's easy maintenance. I love the coloring. It's unusual so I was so happy to find it.

    We were at the LL Flooring location, and their customer service was very satisfactory. The store was what we expected, and the person that helped us made sure we got exactly what we wanted. We were looking for something special. We got hardwood flooring and they did the installation. It took one day. The installers cleaned up after themselves. I had only one problem. From the room that already had part of the flooring, they transitioned into the next room. I don't think they chose the transom wisely the way they put it in. They put it in two sections. So, it might be three-feet wide. He put it like a board that was two feet and a board that was one foot. I don't think that should have been done that way. It definitely stands out.

    The manager, Mark, was great. He worked with us. He was so accommodating. He made sure everything was to our satisfaction. He helped us out. We've had them before.

    We purchased the EVP in the past with LL Flooring, and then we went back to do another one of the LVP purchases so we can use it on our rental house and we just have been customers of them. We bought switcher blocks and flooring from them. I like the selection. It's the best selection I can find locally around town if I want something locally, and the folks that were in there working with us were extremely helpful. They had some clearance items with enough product for what I needed at the rental house. So, they went through different items, found what we needed, and they had enough product in-house that I was able to empty out a section of their clearance to do that one. The previous purchases have been some online and some in-store.

    The representatives that I've dealt with have all been very knowledgeable, very helpful, very insightful, and they were able to find a product when I told them what I wanted in comparison to what I have through a picture. They found exactly what I needed. So, I didn't have any problems with the first purchase that I went for, and I knew exactly what I wanted. I had went online, looked at it, then went into the store and then selected what I wanted and I already had my own measurements because I do outfits myself and renovations.

    The products I've bought so far has been great quality for my use. I didn't go with hardwood. I need to go with an EVP for a farmhouse because of livestock and muddiness. They hold up to scratches, durability, water retentions, and they wear well. So, there are no scratches on anything. We have a dog in the house and they got claws and there are no scratches visible. So, I thoroughly am happy with what I've got and the quality of it.

    I highly recommend LL for a product search for flooring and switcher block because they got great prices and a great selection on that as well. I'm glad that they do have a local store in our area because if I had to go pick out something between Lowe's or what other place we had available to look at, definitely LL's got some better options. I'm a commercial leasing manager, so we do a lot of renovations and outfits and I do a lot of product buying for our business side of it. So, if I need something in particular, I always recommend to go to LL for floors.
