I wanna give a shout out to
Juan Carlos because he came and did my living room floor and my restroom floor and my kitchen floor. I’m so in love with my floor. I recommend him he did the perfect job thank you once again, Juan Carlos
Response from the owner · a week ago
Antonio, Juan Carlos is going to love reading this. Taking on three rooms at once, kitchen included, is a lot of floor, and hearing you’re in love with how it turned out is the kind of feedback every installer hopes for. Thank you for recommending him, and enjoy every step on it.

Warehouse Direct Flooring replaced our old floor that was warped beyond repair. Isidro, who did the actual installation, was very fast, considerate, and professional. We are very happy with the result (LVP floor). Would definitely use them again.
Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago
Christopher, a floor that warped past saving is a miserable thing to live with, so we're glad the new LVP went in quickly and you're happy with how it looks. Isidro will be pleased to read that his care made an impression. Whenever the next project comes up, we'd be glad to help again.

Our salesperson Jana was very personable and easy to work with, and her expertise was very evident.
The installer, Ysidro was exceptional! Very good communication throughout the process. He worked quickly and efficiently. His work was perfection. He took great care in the preparation of our floors before installing the new flooring. He is a perfectionist, the final installation is impeccable!
Response from the owner · a month ago
Micheline, thank you for the detailed feedback! Jana takes real pride in guiding customers through their options, and Ysidro's prep work and attention to detail are exactly why customers trust our installs. We'll pass this along to both of them.

Extremely poor customer service — local customers deserve better
I reached out to Direct Flooring Outlet after seeing the reviews and wanted to get a local quote after finding the flooring I was looking for online. I used their website to request a free quote and was contacted by Dan Versman, the owner’s son.
Dan initially told me they would likely be able to match the price I had found and that he would put together a quote. What followed was one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I’ve had in a very long time.
I received several one-sentence emails from Dan asking questions that I had already answered in my original email. Rather than continuing this back-and-forth, I simply asked if we could have a quick phone call to discuss it. No response.
I then called the main office. The woman who answered gave me Dan’s phone number and specifically told me to text him and that he would get right back to me.
He never did. Not once.
I waited until the following week, giving them plenty of time and being more than patient. Later that afternoon, I sent another email and called again. Eventually, at the end of the day, I received a response saying:
"This isn't worth it for us, we're going to pass."
That's it.
I have worked in customer service for over 25 years, and this was honestly one of the worst experiences I've had dealing with a company. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I was a local customer trying to purchase a substantial amount of flooring and simply wanted a quote and a conversation about pricing.
What makes it worse is that I called the main office afterward specifically to explain my experience. I was told that Lou Versman would be informed and would call me back.
He never called.
At some point, businesses need to be accountable for the level of service they provide. If you say you're going to call someone back, call them back. If you say you're going to provide a quote, follow through. If you don't want the business, that's fine — just communicate that professionally and promptly.
Your website has a commercial talking about the level of service you provide to local customers. Based on my experience, that message does not match the reality of dealing with your company.
I ended up having to order the flooring from over the hill, which was a major inconvenience, simply because a local company couldn't be bothered to follow through with a basic customer inquiry.
And Dan Versman's lack of communication, respect, and professionalism was obvious throughout this entire experience. The lack of care and respect shown toward a potential customer speaks volumes about how seriously he takes the people who are trying to give his business their money.
And Dan — giving your own company a 5-star review and then the company responds to that review looks pretty crooked from a customer's perspective. At the very least, it raises some serious questions about the credibility of the reviews on this business. SMH.
If you're looking for flooring, go somewhere else. There are companies that will actually communicate with you, follow through, and treat you with basic respect.

Great work by Isi and his team on installation. They were fast, professional and considerate. The new floor looks beautiful! 5 stars and a ❤️.
Response from the owner · 2 months ago
Jill, so glad the new floor turned out beautiful. Isi and his team take a lot of pride in getting the details right on every flooring installation and it's great to hear that came through in how they treated your home. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
