Bradley’s Flooring and Paint

I had a very good experience (my first) with Bradley’s Flooring & Paint in Apex. I had them replace the sheet vinyl in my kitchen. Joshua Collins was great to work with. While at our house, he explained thoroughly what would or could be done, was on time and always courteous. The installation went well – three guys that were obviously very experienced in cutting and installing vinyl. They put down carpet protectors and moved appliances into the family room. (Hint: make sure the refrigerator gets plugged in while it is moved out of the way.) They couldn’t undo the gas hose on the dryer, but were able to pull the dryer out of the laundry area and turn it so it was on the family room carpet area all without putting undue pressure on the gas hose. At one point, work stopped and I heard a long discussion in Spanish. I went to investigate (I don’t know Spanish) and they were having trouble matching the pattern at the seam – it was not immediately obvious with the vinyl pattern I chose. Once I found and pointed out the correct pattern match, I think they still did not understand and started cutting the piece, so I had to tell them to slide the sheet over a few inches for the correct match, and then the did so. They went out of their way to make sure the new shoe molding they installed was stained to match my cabinets. When calling Bradley’s, or visiting their store, the staff seemed «abrupt” – not quite rude, but certainly not warm or friendly. Joshua made up for that, and I dealt with him most of the time, but he could teach some of the other store staff about how to treat customers. I might have passed them by (before I met Joshua) had they not loaned me a sample book at my first visit to the store, but I’m glad I didn’t.
