Just completed a remove and replace of kitchen, family room and dinning room flooring. WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE! Everything from the selection, removal, preparation to installation. Mick and his entire team was a delight to work with every day. It's refreshing to know there are still companies were customer satisfaction and professionalism means something.

I'm delighted with my beautiful new AMORIM wood/cork floor. The showroom staff have been very helpful. Great measuring and advice on necessary adjustments prior to placement. Angel Antonello and his wife did an excellent job laying the floor. Thank you!

Last month, we had approximately 1,100 square feet of home floor carpet removed and installed Hallmark Alta Vista hardwood flooring by INTERNATIONAL WOOD FLOORS, Inc. of Sarasota, FL. The entire process of selection of hardwood and installation was superb. Dealings with Mick Dean, Manager was easy and installers Ray/John/Jonathan done a great job. They moved and reset heavy furniture from rooms; removed the old carpet and installed hardwood flooring very professionally with transitions and painted shoe molding; they insist on installing Vinyl moisture barrier with quality glue products; overall great workmanship and in master closet with net cut to the existing cabinets and no shoe molding and great finish. We have no reservation in recommending International Wood Floors and please visit their showroom on 8260 Vico Court, Sarasota, FL.

We found the perfect floor here and are having an independent contractor do the installation for half the cost of their bid

What a wonderful group of guys. Bob was enormously helpful in helping me obtain the right materials and right look. Plus, he went out of his way to get me the best price on the materials. Mark did a masterful job installing the wood flooring.

We have used International twice to install wood floors in our home. Both times we were completely satisfied. Large selection of flooring to choose from, fair prices and flawless installation.
