Need a question answered about your product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hi, we had your line of flooring installed. It's the classic series Floorte waterproof type.

We're going to place a piano on the flooring. Can the flooring take the weight without leaving an indentation?

Do we need floor protectors and, if so, what type? Thanks.

Our floor was installed by a contractor through Brevard County and the state. Sadowiski Act!

They used the cheapest flooring, and it shows!

Let me start off with saying there very reputable and honest I purchased mine from stiens in Louisiana well after the first contractor finished in less than a month they started coming apart so I hire

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Another contractor came in and removed and replaced the same thing. The start happened again, so I went to Stiens and told them my situation.

They asked for a sample.

Within 2 weeks, I was told they were replacing my floors, and I couldn't ask for anything better than that. Thank you, Shaw Floors and Stiens.

Terrible company

Shaw Floors - Terrible company

My floor is hardwood and started to wear 6 months in and has continued to wear. I called Shaw and they said they would only replace the affected planks.

They finally sent a inspector out, he agreed that the floor was in terrible condition for the age ( 4 years ) Most of the surface is worn off. Shaw came back and offered me $3500 towards a $8000 floor. They won't cover demo or installation.

Do not buy anything from them , they are very rude. I have been dealing with this for 6 months and have picked a floor , ordered it, and it still has not arrived.

DON’T BUY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Bad product, and Shaw does not stand behind their warranty. Do not spend your hard-earned money at this Sherwin-Williams, as they:

a. do not install floors properly

b. their installers are not properly supervised

c. they do not stand behind the product they sell, nor their craftsmanship

After paying this Sherwin-Williams many thousands of dollars to have a floor installed, multiple defects immediately began popping up. Despite notifying management and multiple attempts to contact them since, crickets really poor customer service and product.

i.e., issues a consumer does not expect when purchasing an industry leader Shaw product, nor when paying a premium to have a commercially respected company like the Sherwin-Williams Company install their flooring.

Beware!

The floor had all instructions followed to the t with 1/4 gap on ends and no seams less than a third of tile. I wish I had just burned 5k instead of installing this floor and watching it do this. Now the entire floor has to be pulled up and thrown in the trash, which actually is a good place for it.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

We installed Shaw pet friendly water resistant hickory oak vinyl plank flooring in 2020, it started cracking after a year and now it looks terrible.

I called Shaw and they said that it was Lowe's responsibility and vice versa.

Bought and installed Shaw Citadel vinyl planking. It's been in less than 3 months and edges/seams are starting to peel up.

This is the worst product I've ever seen. I highly recommend anything else but Shaw!

Brand new home. It was a spec home,so the hardwoods were already installed.

The stain is literally peeling up from the floors and the quality is so poor that I cannot get the stain to match.

The builder had the installer replace several boards while we were still under our new home warranty, but all that did was make the boards surrounding the replaced boards to start peeling! We owned 5 other home with hardwoods and these are the only ones that have done this!

I bought a house from lennar and they install Shaw flooring which started peeling couple of months after I moved in. After a year and a half of arguing with Lennar, Lennar decided to replace the flooring in the whole house with the same *** flooring which starting peeling couple of months after installation.

I filed a BBB case and Shaw flooring totally ignored, I am calling Lennar and they are telling me that Shaw flooring is responsible for it.

So now I am stuck with this *** flooring. Does anyone know a good attorney that can help me with this situation?

I’m installing a shaws lvp floor

I am a general contractor and have installed many floors in my day and my experience with this floor is not a good one. I have noticed that some of the ends are out of square slightly and also some of the planks are not the same width by a smidge.

These issues are sure to cause problems down the road. My customer purchased this stuff on their own and I am just installing it for them. Any warranty is out my hands.

I also noticed the tongue is very brittle and breaks easily. Would not recommend this floor or company.

Sad to say but it is what our world has become!

Make the cheapest product and get the most money in our account. It is not about putting out a quality product anymore..Sad

I hope you expressed your concerns about the product to the client in writing and urged them to contact the retailer. You also owe them notice that you are not going to warranty the installation and are stopping work till they sign a release.
