Red oak upstairs, LVP in a finished basement: Kyle helped a recent customer pick both, and that customer said the floors came out better than imagined. Floor Coverings International is a flooring company whose stated service area runs from Shelburne and Burlington to Middlebury, Montpelier and Stowe, and it holds 4.8 stars from 129 Google ratings. The company says it has been in business 20 years. A recent customer hired it a second time, for hardwood through a second floor plus tile in a master bathroom remodel done with a GC the company recommended. After a flood, a recent customer replaced flooring with Dean and his team and said the two installers cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. In an older seasonal home with nothing square or level, a recent customer credited Josh with an installation around a round shower. A 2026 customer said Ross and Mike ripped out wall-to-wall carpeting and installed LVP on the stairs, hallway and office. A 2026 customer said Tyler's team diagnosed and repaired a problem an earlier install team left in three areas of a new home. A 2024 customer said Frank led the tile install of a laundry floor, shower surround and bathroom floor. In a September 2026 Reddit thread, a commenter recommended Floor Coverings International and its showroom on Shelburne Road. A recent customer who gave three stars praised the installers but said management gave conflicting timelines, materials were misordered, and a plumbing-related mistake during the job caused significant damage; that customer said the repair was ultimately completed. A 2025 customer said an estimate Kyle promised never arrived, so they ordered from another local vendor. A 2025 customer said a bedroom was measured wrong and had to be seamed, and called the thresholds sloppy; that customer later wrote that Tyler offered to buy and install a new carpet for free. A 2022 customer described missed appointments and an estimate about 40% above what they expected to pay.

We hired FCI to install new hardwood flooring throughout our 2nd floor (hallway + 4 bedrooms) and remodel our master bathroom (tile installation) in partnership with a GC which FCI recommended. This is the 2nd time we've hired FCI (previously FCI installed new hardwood flooring throughout our 1st floor). They are professional, do quality work and are priced reasonably. Highly recommend!
I had a fabulous experience working with Dean when I needed to replace my flooring after a flood. He was both professional and personable, and I really trusted him and his team throughout the entire process. They did an outstanding job! The two men who installed the flooring were equally professional and courteous. They were diligent about getting the job done, and they cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience, from start to finish. I highly recommend Dean and his team to anyone in need of flooring!
We wanted to replace cruddy old carpet in two rooms and in a finished basement. Kyle helped us pick out beautiful red oak for the upstairs and LVP for the basement. He was very knowledgable and showed us plenty of alternatives. The product arrived quickly and it came out even better than we ever even imagined. It is perfect. Thank you for the great customer service. The floors look wonderful.
The good: The installation crew was excellent. They were skilled, polite, professional, and consistently on time. When a serious mistake happened during the job (more on that below), the team that handled the repair did right by us and fixed it properly. I appreciate that. The problem: Management. Throughout this project, different leaders gave us drastically different timelines and expectations. Nobody seemed to be working from the same information, so we were constantly getting conflicting answers about deliverables and completion dates. Materials were also misordered at one point, which added unnecessary delays. More seriously, a plumbing-related mistake during the job caused significant damage that required a major repair in my home. I understand the installers aren’t plumbers, but they do handle sinks and toilet removal as part of flooring jobs, so I’d expect a baseline level of care and competence there. The repair was ultimately completed and I do appreciate that they made it right, but the amount of back-and-forth and excuses along the way was frustrating and shouldn’t have been necessary. Bottom line: The installation team deserves real credit for their skill and professionalism. But the company’s management and coordination need serious improvement — consistent communication, accurate ordering, and realistic timelines shouldn’t be this hard to deliver. Because of these organizational issues, I can only give this experience 3 stars.
We are pleased with this business & would recommend them. Our project was challenging- an older seasonal home with nothing square or level and they executed the job well. They are transparent in their quotes & invoicing, answer questions & seem genuinely dedicated to satisfying the client. I especially thank Tyler for getting the job done in spite of a labor shortage and Josh who did an amazing installation around a round shower.
