Parqueteam Hardwood Flooring

We were looking for a hardwood flooring installer for our renovation projects, and found parqueteam, and glad we did! They been great to us since day 1, done great jobs for us, and we will keep hiring them for our flooring projects!

I had my main floor and upstairs floor installed. This company is professional and meticulous to detail. I will definitely recommend to others.

Replaced the hardwood floors in my living room. Great price, high quality installation and done when they said it was going to be done. Three most important things to me.

We bought a new house, and our basement needed new flooring. We hired parqueteam, as recommended by few of our friends who used them before. They recommended a vinyl flooring, which was a good looking floor at a good price. Final result was great! We are really happy with the product and more important with the crew and installation quality. Really recommend them for your next flooring project!

My house is built from the early 80s. And the stairs from main floor to second floor are covered with old carpet. Emil had provided a quote, which was very reasonable in terms of pricing and the amount of work. His father and another person did the work over a span of 3 days, and were very hard workers. The job was done very well, with few small things, of which one of them got addressed a week later when I called Emil. Overall very happy with the job.

Excellent professional workmanship on all of our job sites.
Knowledgeable and helpful input when needed.

We hired Parqueteam in early January to remove and install solid hardward, replace our pickets and stain our stairs. From the onset, Emil was not present and day-to-day communications were limited to text and voice mail messages. This resulted in some frustrations, as we were dealing with a crew that did not speak English.

Initial frustration started with the staining of our stairs. The sample stain on the stairs did not match our floors, and I made it clear to Emil's father (part of the crew) that I did not like the sample stain. I was told to "wait and see how it turns out". I kept asking for another stain samples and was pressured to hold off. Apprehensive about having all 21 steps done in a stain that did not match, I ended up going to the paint store and purchasing my own stain. Emil did reimburse us for the cost of the stain, but it should be customary to allow the homeowner to have a say in stain selection.

The varnish was another frustration. I wanted Satin finish and Emil's father kept insisting that matte was fine. Again, I was told "don't worry, it will be fine". It took a few text messages to relay the fact that I wanted a Satin finish, and the used bottle of "High Gloss" that was brought to my house wasn't even matte! It seems like the crew wanted to use stain and varnish from a previous job (the cans were opened and used). In the end, the stairs turned out nice, but getting the results was a frustrating process from start to end.

My garage was a disaster zone for two weeks. While I recognize it was necessary for them to work somewhere during the cold winter months, I didn't expect to have garbage and boxes from a previous job housed in my garage. All of our belongings were haphazardly tossed to the other side of the garage and everything is covered in a layer of dust.

The overall floor installation is good, however we do find there are many spots where touchup pens and wood filler were used to fill chips and scratches. The crew left in a hurry on a Friday evening, and did a poor job of cleaning up the floors.

Lastly, Emil's van leaked transmission fluid/oil on our driveway. It is a huge spill, and we brought this to his attention. He told us not too worry and that it would come off. He was also going to "talk to his mechanic about it". We'll weeks later after the melting snow, and two applications of Oil Lift, we are still left with damage to a brand new driveway.

While Emil is a pleasant individual, he needs to be present at the job sites rather than juggling multiple installations at the same time. Many of the frustrations we experienced could have easily been rectified if he had been present, face-to-face rather than MIA.

My friend recommended them to me for my flooring project. Have to say, they are very honest, and really good workers. I am really satisfied with their service, quality, and timing, as we were on tight time line to move in to our new house. Overall, i am really happy, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for their floors to be done!

Emil and his team were extremely responsive, professional and accommodating. I was able to work with them to expediently to source, coordinate schedules, and wrap up the project while toggling a very busy travel schedule. I was most impressed with their ability to work around the existing furniture, and their tidiness in workspace and storing materials. The flooring job was done beautifully, very happy with the new laminate!

Emil and his team did a great job. I would recommend their service to anyone. Our flooring was builders grade, and they were able to make it look great. A+
