Carpet manufacturers recommend weekly vacuuming and professional hot water extraction every 12 to 18 months. Referencing your carpet manufacturer's warranty information will make sure the warranties they offer stay in effect. For hot water extraction, select a reputable cleaning company that uses truck-mounted equipment.

We worked Mike@ the Brandon location. We were having around 2400 sq ft of luxury vinyl planks installed. Mike measured the area and his estimate of flooring needs was spot on as the last of 100 boxes of flooring was used.
This was a full week job and the installation team was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the workmanship and thus the finished job. From start to finish, a wonderful experience!

My experience with G.Fried was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The selection was huge and very well organized. Mike, our salesman, was extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. Mike listened attentively to what we were looking for and proceeded to show us many items in the luxury vinyl plank category that we wanted. He encouraged us to take samples home to see what they would look like in our home and with our own lighting and furniture. I had some trouble deciding so I bought one whole box of the floor I was interested in and placed around

My wife and I stopped here one day because we were interested in replacing a rug in our loft with tile flooring.
We wanted to match the tile from our bedroom to the loft, but it was discontinued. Then, we wanted to incorporate a bit of the leftover tile to the loft. After a lot of back and forth, it did not happen.
That said, it was hard to nail down a price. After a bit of back and forth with Kevin, the manager, it finally got done.
We would ask questions and either get ignored it talked down to. He was quite condescending and rude throughout the process.
Finally got tired of the back

AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE.....YOWZA!!!! Alan Schneider was my sales representative from the Brandon location 231 Town Center Dr. I was remodeling my home and after it was painted I asked Alan if he would mind coming to my home were I could actually see the flooring I had previously chosen and carpet in BIGGER Samples!! He returned my call and was there ASAP....The next morning!!! Alan saved me over $900.00 on my original plans!! He also told me he would send his " A " team to install all products. They were the HARDEST WORKING, HONEST, PROFESSIONALS!!! I am a straight shooter. Therefore, I would NOT

The installer was extremely rude, didn't care at all about our timeline. When we tried to address concerns with Kevin at Brandon office he was inconsiderate and unprofessional. Installer did not clean grout and mastic off of tile and we now have stains and spots all over flooring that will not come up. We asked Kevin to help and address the concern and we were basically told "too bad so sad". He refused to answer calls and after spending a significant amount of money on new floors, I now have to put area rugs all over to hide the blemishes and stains. I would never ever use them

I'm coming up on two years since our floor was installed because I wanted to live with it for a while before doing the review. Kevin Lamb was the sales person and he was very helpful and let us live with the samples for a couple weeks. I suggest doing this because it's a large expense and you want to make sure it's the right choice. We ended up choosing the COREtec Plus Norwegian Maple because of the durability, 100% water proof (important if going in the kitchen or Florida in general) and of course the look.
On the plus side:
o Living with the samples made all the difference, so hats off to

Bought carpet from the Brandon location years ago. They did an excellent job with installation then but over the years we have noticed areas that needed stretching. Within a few days of calling, the guys came and stretched all areas (free of charge since it is part of the warranty). They were in and out within a short amount of time and the work is perfect! We would highly recommend this company to others who are looking for quality carpet and service at a reasonable price.

With much delay, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank G. Fried Flooring America for the amazing consumer service provide from start (picking out product) to finish (financing) during their busy holiday season. With my husband in Afghanistan and completely out of my comfort zone, Mike Solmonson was so professionally patient working with me. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the work Mike and his team did on our beautiful floors. The highly skilled team always arrive timely and treated the whole family with utmost respect. From moving furniture (which I could not do) to cleaning
