Go to their showroom. That’s key! Dawn and Whitney couldn’t have been more helpful and insightful! And they actually listened to our particular needs, having dogs and my mom moving in. Their suggestions transformed our home into a masterpiece that went way beyond our expectations. The installers were precise, professional, and friendly. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Is their way to give more than five stars?

It has been a pleasure working with the ladies and gentlemen at Preferred Flooring. I have personally sent my clients to their home base store in Raleigh to make selections for projects in other cities on the Crystal Coast damaged by Hurricane Florence. The owner saw the potential need for a satellite store as well as personal attention and onsite inspections to assist our team and our clients in making a quicker and convenient decision for their flooring and tile needs. I would recommend Preferred Flooring for all my flooring needs.

We replaced our carpet upstairs everywhere with engineered hardwoods to match our downstairs. I got five estimates and Jeff was the most responsive and helpful with a great price. I never like to go with the lowest, but they were extremely close and had better reviews.I am extremely glad I did. The install took 2.5 days, there were 3-6 guys at any given time here working. They were all extremely polite and even played with my kids and learned their names. Very very happy customer. Referred them to my neighbor two doors already.Jeff Parker makes sure you are taken care of and happy. I was a difficult person to work with, very inpatient during install process, he was always extremely responsive and concerned even when I was just jumping the gun. There are messes during the install, like the glue they used, and I just needed to wait for them to finish and get to the clean up phase for everything to be taken care of. They left it like they found it...maybe a little cleaner, did I mention I have a 4 and 5 year old?
