Report
We originally contracted to put in new vinyl floors with the largest flooring company in the area, then spent months getting cancelled on and rescheduled, once at 4PM on the scheduled day of installation. We went to Iskalis and the difference was instantly obvious. Instead of a high-pressure sale for floors that would be out of stock for months, the staff was up front and honest about what our options were for getting materials in within a reasonable time due to the industry-wide issues with building supplies. They let us see the samples in place at our home and gave us plenty of time to decide

Report
I worked with Steve after having a leak in my condo. It ruined a portion of my hardwoods that needed to be replaced and the rest needed to be sanded and refinished. My condo was on the market and I needed the floors to be fixed as soon as possible. He made the near impossible, possible, and the floors turned out perfect. I couldnt be happier! I also spoke to the owner once when I called for Steve, and he wasnt available. He was super helpful and very friendly as well. I highly recommend.

My wife called earlier today to get an estimate on flooring installation and the woman who she dealt with could not have been any more rude. It was as though she was being bothered or interrupted. She was extremely rude, condescending and basically all around unprofessional. Needless to say we are taking our business elsewhere.

Had a very good experience with this store. Tom and Scott where very helpful getting us through the process of selecting countertops, flooring, and backsplash. The installers all did a very professional job. Will highly recommend this business to friends and family.
