Looking for some first hand opinions on Cali floors. Currently shopping for vinyl plank floors and have come across someone who can get a good price on Cali brand floors, but the reviews are all over the place, from top tier to absolute trash. Open to other recommendations for brands that can Be seen locally to south La. Thanks

They are excellent. Installed them in my last house a few years ago. Used the long boards. Bought directly from them and asked for a discount over the phone and got one. See if they will beat your price you already got.

How long have you had them? The longboards look great in person, but as stated, I can do a quick google search and find a bunch of poor reviews and class action lawsuits against the company. Not sure if this is attributed to poor DIY install or an old product or what

Sorry I sold the house. This was 5 years ago. They had sent me a huge box of samples first. All of them looked excellent. That could have changed but the long boards were higher quality then anything home Depot had at the time.

I installed roughly 3 years ago in my home, no issues since, it is much higher quality than I recall from other brands. Much less flex when you have imperfections, I installed directly over concrete, no underlay because it has pad on that one that I used. I also layed some parts directly over tile and engineered hardwood. No issues. No delamination, it looks just as good as it did when I installed it. I have scratched it moving a heavy dresser before, however I was able to kind of rub it out and you can't even see it now.

I even had a bit of a water issue in my laundry from gutter overflow, I have since rectified that issue, however it did flood that room twice where water was coming up from the boards, I put a dehumidifier in there when it happened no trouble afterwards.

When i bought it, it was on sale for $3sqft, I don't think I could afford it now however, what are they $6 sqft now perhaps?

Thanks for the info. I’m pretty back and forth on it. I want to want it, but the reviews keep throwing me off. That being said, I can pretty much find terrible reviews for all the other vinyl plank floors as well. I have the lifeproof in my current home and haven’t had any issues either. But of course the wife doesn’t like any of the colors they offer
