Affordable Flooring & Kitchens says on Angi that David Minchuck began the company in 2004, serving Westfield and the greater Springfield area. On Houzz, the business lists hardwood, tile, laminate, carpet and vinyl sales and installation, along with kitchen and bath design, sales, construction and remodeling. In a 2012 review, a customer said the work was done quickly and professionally and the installer was on time. A 2013 review praised the professionalism of the two men who did the installation and credited Judy with helping choose a floor. Another 2013 review said two young men came out for the install, were fast and cleaned up, and that the price came in lower than other bids. Other written accounts from 2013 and 2014 describe real problems. In a 2013 review, a customer said the hardwood flooring looked good, but trimwork removed for the install came back with dings, scratches and cracks; a 3x5 Corian countertop with a sink took 50 days, the company missed three or four appointments, and the owner left the plumbing work halfway finished. In another 2013 review, a customer said the tile in their kitchen and 2 and half baths looked beautiful, but that communication was bad after they hired and paid, and the stairs were still to be finished. A 2013 review on HomeAdvisor said they did not keep promises or arrive as scheduled and that he still owed 5 trim pieces. In a 2014 follow-up, a customer said 12 stairs included in the job were never completed, that after waiting almost 5 months on back-ordered wood they were told the stairs were not up to code, and that a promised refund of $525.00 had not been sent. In a 2016 update, that customer said they had to hire a new contractor to finish the stairs at an additional $2500 plus.

rI am adding additional comments in reference to the work and promises AF was hired to do in 2103 and updating my past wo reviews. The last indicated Dave, the owner never sent us our refund check after promises and promises via text. <we still have each and every communication saved) He only offered a refund fof $525. after we paid in full the entire for wood, tile and installation. We had to hire a new contractor to finish our stairs which cost out an additional $2500 plus. I mentioned the grout. We had it repaired too and now other areas are cracking. It is frustrating to spend over $20,000 for kitchen and 2.2 bathroom tile, dining room, living room, hall and wood for 12 stairs only to have hammer marks nail marks and cracked grout less and no compensation for the unfinished stairs. As I said, he talks a great talk and didn't not do as he promised. I changed my rating and I wanted to give all F's but the kids who installed the wood tried very hard to do job laying red oak wood. They were late every day and some days 2-3 hrs but they were nice kids. One was sloppy nailing and left several scratches and hammer marks. I share not out of revenge or greed but for a job not up to verbal agreement and learning we didn't get what we paid for. <br />

My original review was on 7/29/ 13. I promised to follow up so here I go. 12 stairs were included but work never completed. After waiting on back order for "custom wood" almost 5 months later we were told our stairs weren't up to code and that had to be fixed before our stairs could be installed. What? You measured our stairs before ordering the" custom wood". We hired a new contractor to install our wood and to bring our stairs to code the problem was getting our " custom wood" from David. I had to drive to his location at 11:00 pm to pick it up in my vehicle. The "custom wood" was nothing more than lowes tread that been hand stained by them obviously that day. In December David promised me a refund of only $525.00 although we paid an additional $ 2,300 plus because we did not receive the correct measurements of treads or no backing, etc. to make a long and horrible ordeal short he has not sent our refund and I have called several times. He is a liar but I'll give him this, he's a fantastic sales man! <br />And our kitchen grout has cracked on a few tiles. This happened during the tiling and the sub contractor repaired it. It's crack again and in spots that are not walked on. <br />I'm really sorry things happened as they did because David had me convinced he does the best job and was an honest man. <br />

installation okay, nothing special but they do not keep promises or arrive as scheduled. <br /> he does not answer phone or return calls. he owes me 5 trim pieces that he claimed were backordered but factory says they wwere never back ordered. i chose them in part due to their good rating opn angie's list. he did not honor his coupon. angie' <br />
