We recently replaced our ugly carpeting with brushbox flooring in 3 rooms and on a staircase. I am so appreciative of the fine job done by Chris Brenna, especially Carl and his crew who did the actual installation. This man is an artist. The stairway he created seems like a gorgeous sculpture. Each time I walk up and down, I feel like I am in a cloud of beauty. He was exceedingly careful on the detailing. Additionally, these young men were well-mannered and polite.
I recommend this company highly.

I'm rRating the Flooring Specialist Inc with five glowing gold stars. I wanted to have my carpets replaced with flooring and did some online reasearch. I decided to go with this company after reading the reviews. I must say that the reviews are all true. The workmanship is excellent and the staff were friendly. I'm totally satisfied with my beautiful floors. They stuck to the schedule and prices were reasonable. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their floors done. Thank you Flooring Specialists Inc!!

Flooring Specialists were able to demolish our tough Saltillo tile floor in a very timely manner. They were extremely patient with us regarding multiple reschedulings due to issues with our contractors and cabinet makers. Once the installation began, we encountered some problems with the floor not being level. Kale, the installer, was very patient and willing to undo some of the flooring to re-level the section. At all times he was courteous and helpful. We ran into another snag, but when I contacted Chris, the owner, he got back to me immediately and offered to remedy the situation, stating he just wanted me to be happy with the job. He came by today to help trouble-shoot the last issue, and I was very satisfied with the solution. I would highly recommend Flooring Specialists. I've learned that no renovation goes without hiccups and unforeseen issues. In the end, the floor is beautiful, and I am extremely impressed with the customer first philosophy of this company. I would go to them again without hesitation!

Aloha!
Working at a Real Estate Office/Property Management Company, we've had the privilege of working with Flooring Specialists for about 6 years now. Our experiences with them have always been pleasant and professional. The various crews (depending on the scope of work) always arrive promptly and are ready to start the job as planned.
As our tenant's leases expire and if they vacate, we generally refurbish the unit before selling it or re-renting it. Chris and his teams are always spot on. They come in, remove the old carpeting and tile, usually in one day, then perform any preparation or leveling on the slab (if necessary). After the leveling dries, they return to start the underlayment and wood flooring. In some instances, Chris's team has gone above and beyond in performing tasks that aren't always in their scope of work, but are willing to please. In most of our instances, the entire process is completed within about a week.
In few cases, we've had minor damage to the new floors due to accidental plumbing issues or a tenant scratching or gouging the floor during their move in or move out. We call Flooring Specialists to come in, evaluate the extent of the damage, then replace the damaged planks effortlessly, leaving the floor looking brand new once again...
Flooring Specialists always leave the units cleaner than when they started. They take great pride in their craftsmanship of the work as well as the attention to cleaning up after themselves.
When it comes to flooring selections, there are too many to choose from, when it comes flooring installers, there is only one Company that comes to mind and that's Flooring Specialists.

I had my bamboo flooring refinished and it looks brand new! Chris came out to do an estimate and the communication was smooth and responsive, and the work was scheduled and done very quickly.
The flooring was pretty scratched up by dogs, but it's been restored beautifully, and the price was very reasonable as well.

Just returning to the island, we purchased a home that needed some updating. I was referred to Chris and Pat from a friend. Chris worked with me personally to find a flooring material that would look great and last. He took care of measuring and ordering the product. When it was time to install, his team was professional, on time and clean! I highly recommend Flooring Specialist. Great local company!

Chris and his team comprised of Kale and his wife did an excellent job. He was able to come out very quickly after contacting him via Yelp to measure the house. Not long after, we received a detailed quote and he advised that we could either purchase our own flooring or his (we went with his after first thinking we would go with a Lowes option. Glad we did!). They helped a great deal with moving the furniture for the second move from bedrooms to living room (although myself and my friends moved it there in the first place and back. What a workout! Haha) and I was able to leave the bigger pieces like my bed and a heavy desk in place. If I had a criticism, it would be attention to detail. The flooring wasn't edged correctly behind my fridge, and the caps went missing on one of my toilets. There were also a number of paint dings on my kitchen cabinets and doors but Chris reimbursed me for having my painter come out to do repairs. Overall, the flooring job was amazing and the quarter round finish makes it look complete. Great job, and I'd definitely use them again!

I have hired Chris Brennan of Flooring Specialists to install engineered wood flooring in two different homes over the past 5 years. First, he starts off with a quick visit to do measurements and get an overview of what you want done. We purchased the engineered wood flooring panels directly from Pacific American Lumber on Sand Island Rd. (see Janice at Pacific American Lumber. She is very knowledgable.). He is very easy to work with, and provides great costumer service.
Scheduling the installation work to coincide with your household's schedule is also a breeze. Chris's crew work very efficiently and completed the jobs relatively quickly. The quality of their work is excellent with the flooring panels, stairway risers & bull nosing, and baseboard installation all showing first-class fitment and finish work. A section of our concrete slab was uneven, and Chris was able to bring in some special fill material which basically evened out the slab so that the wood flooring would sit perfectly. I highly recommend Chris for his excellent quality work, quick and efficient installation time, and all at a reasonable rate!

We are really happy with our new flooring. Chris is down to earth and we were really comfortable with him. His crew of Kale and Lynn really know their stuff. Not to mention great people to meet. They did an excellent job with a great work ethic. They really accommodated us since we had to move so much stuff back and forth to allow them to do their work. We highly recommend Flooring Specialists.

Patrick and his crew are very professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. We redid our floors for our entry way, hallway, kitchen and 2 bathrooms. I really like the Paradigm flooring they installed, it's beautiful and easy to maintain/clean. Debbi, the Project Manager is amazing and made living through the renovation low stress. Patrick is meticulous and his attention to detail is superb! I highly recommend Flooring Specialists for your home renovation!

We worked with Chris Brenna on a remodel for the upstairs of our Kahala house - 3 bedrooms plus an Ohana Suite with a full kitchen and bathroom. It was important to us to find a crew that did very good finish work - it's a nice home - and complete the project in a tight time frame since we were moving in! Work included a completely new kitchen (with associated electrical and plumbing work), one new bathroom (replace tub with walk in, new tile, fixtures, cabinets), new flooring throughout + baseboards. Patrick laid the bathroom tile himself. David was always on site and did a great job with the cabinet installations. I think from start to finish they completed the project in roughly 2 weeks which included the demo and prep. As always with a remodel, there's a punch list at the end for a few minor things but they were very few and Chris' guys came in quickly to finish it off. Project came in on time and on budget! Can't say that about too many remodels - would highly recommend them.
