Habitat Hardwood Floors, LLC

Habitat Flooring did an amazing job for us, transforming our home from a dull vinyl flooring to a vibrant real hickory floor. They are the contractor I wish we could get for every project. They provided a schedule and performed everything as promised. This company provided us a timely, quality project for the less money as other local companies here in Panama City. I highly recommend using them.

 We started shopping for a company to replace the flooring for our house in March. We searched around and started with two flooring companies. These companies we started with were very kind and would tell us they would come to the house the same day as our call. However, both companies took a few days to get to the house. After which we did not hear from them. We had to call and ask when we would get our quote. The one company took 3 weeks to write the initial quote. But at least it was detailed. It contained a breakdown of the work per room, itemized with material & labor. After this initial estimate, we asked to change some rooms from carpet to wood. But we never get the second estimate. So we decided to try the other company. We were finally ready to sign a contract, partly based on the other company being part of a larger national chain. Keep in mind, this took two months working with both companies to get to this point. It’s now May. But when they sent us the contract, it only specified a unit material price for carpet. There was no detail of the rooms in our house, no labor, no information about hardwood flooring that was half of the area of the house. They added over a page of clauses to the contract. The contract clauses spelled out all of the things the company was not responsible for. Specifically, their clauses meant that for any reason the flooring did not turn out the way we liked, it would be due to the conditions of our house and not their responsibility to address. We called and talked to them, asked them to provide more specifics about the work to be performed, and asked what we could do to minimize any problems from our house. They never sent any more information or contract containing any more details. It was at this point we decided to look again for flooring and glad we did. We found Habitat Flooring. They answered us back promptly. This was the first company not to say they would see our house the day we contacted them. Instead, we were given a date that someone would be in the area. At the time, their work was more than two hours from our house. Within a couple of days, they came to the house. Then we were given a date to expect the completed estimate. That too was sent within a couple of days. The entire project, we would get a date and the work would be done. They usually would finish a day or two earlier than anticipated. Everything was completed as scheduled. Habitat is flexible about requesting changes during the project. For example, I decided to do some of the work myself. They allowed me to do this and took it out of the final bill. They were clean, prompt, and did a beautiful job transforming our house. We are pleased with the final result of flooring.

They did a great job repairing and matching my hardwood floor. Fixed areas in my kitchen and by the back door.

I had Derek replace a section of natural hickory planks that had gotten moldy underneath in just 2 years after another hardwood contractor had attached them to a wet area of substrate. It is a beautiful small house (craftsman style) on 30A next to Rosemary Beach. Derek was superb. The floor is now looking like new again. Use HardwoodHabitat for any floor repairs or installation. The absolute best!!

Derek arrived on time and cleaned up the work site after completion. He was very professional, educated, punctual and accurate with his estimates. Extremely knowledgeable young man. I recommend without reservations.

We hired Derek with Habitat to refresh our wood floors before selling. Not only was his pricing amazing but he was very patient while we navigated several house projects. Derek followed up with any questions we had in a timely matter and completed the project in a timeframe that wouldn’t affect our family and home time. I strongly recommended hiring Habitat!
