Footprints floors completely transformed my house, I did a full home renovation and the floor team did such a wonderful job putting down my spc vinyl floating floor in the entirety of the house and tiling my bathrooms, not only was the work done so beautifully but quickly as well, with extraordinary communication throughout and full effort to complete everything by the timeline I requested despite multiple hiccups that slowed progress from the other aspects of renovation. It was nothing but a pleasure coordinating the renovation with gene hawk who took all the stress out of the process and coordinated the project masterfully. Would one hundred percent recommend footprints floors for all your flooring needs

I’m thrilled with my new floors! Beautiful matching tile throughout my home, thanks to Footprints. From assisting with my flooring and baseboard selection, to accommodating my schedule, Footprints made it happen. The bonus Footprints brought to the project was the talented team. I love the tile pattern, the grout lines, and the new baseboards. Everything came together just how I had hoped.

Footprints Floors installed new floors in my residence and did a phenomenal job during all phases of the project. The flooring job is in the top two best installs I’ve ever seen in a residence and I have a high level of exposure to flooring installs as a 10- year full-time real estate agent. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process and everyone showed up on time every day. I would highly recommend you call Owner Gene Hawk for a flooring estimate.

I recently had Foorprints Floors install hybrid resilient floors in three of my bathrooms and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Reached out to Gene at Footprints, and he came out and saw that I had too small a job for his normal work. So he referred me to one of his contractors who did an excellent job. I truly appreciate a business that looks out for you. Thanks!

HIGHLY recommend Footprints Floors—Gene and his team went above and beyond for our large flooring project and the results are stunning. My husband and I purchased a home and wanted to remove nearly 2,200+ sqft of old carpet, engineered hardwood, and tile flooring and replace it with new LVP prior to us moving in. We coordinated everything while we still lived in California and Gene and his team were so generous to receive our materials, store them in the home, and complete the project within the timeframe we needed. We received a fair invoice, daily pictures of the project, and daily updates to the progress which was so comforting. I was so impressed with the results—even difficult spots like our bullnose corners, oddly angled kitchen, and small closets received great care. It was such a wonderful feeling to move in to the home knowing such a large project was already complete and it made our move and planned renovations significantly easier. It truly felt like a good, family friend completed this project with the utmost honesty and skill and we are extremely grateful. You won’t regret using Gene & his team for your next flooring project! (I’ll update pictures once we don’t have moving boxes everywhere—the results are way more stunning than my current pictures show!)

Gene was amazing to deal with and his crew did an amazing job redoing our 4 bedrooms. I hate carpet so Gene suggested we change out to our current vinyl floor. He was able to find me my matching flooring and they were able to finish everything in one day! Thanks Gene!

Gene Hawk at Footprints Floors is by far the easiest, and most skilled flooring installer I’ve worked with. As a flooring manufacturer and distributor i’ve had the pleasure of working with Gene on a number of jobs, with consistent positive feedback from all of his customers. Not only does he do quality work that he stands by, it comes at a cost-effective rate as well. I would recommend Gene to any of my friends or family, and anyone in need of flooring in the Tampa area. You won’t regret it!

I can’t say enough good things about Footprints. Gene was so professional and did an amazing job communicating and explaining things to me. My floors came out spectacular! I had 4 bedrooms and closets that needed to be tiled the same as the common areas in the house. You can’t tell where the new tiles begin. Diego, Bruno, and Matt did outstanding work and left my house very clean. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing work. I am so happy I found them.

Thank you so much, Footprints Floors Tampa, for helping us out!! We had a leak from our windowsill and water soaked into our carpet. I spoke to Gene Hawk from Footprint Floors and he was able to do an assessment quickly. He sent his guys out a couple days later and they were professional, efficient, and did quality work So happy to have this room back to normal. If you need any flooring/carpet jobs done, give them a call! They are amazing!

Finding a contractor who delivers on the promise of quality workmanship and integrity is like finding a needle in a haystack these days, but with Gene and his team… I found that needle! Excellent communication from start to finish. I will, without hesitation, use this company again and recommend to any neighbors or friends who are in need of flooring installation. The new flooring looks great!

From our initial inquiry to a beautifully finished floor, the guys at Footprint Floors were top notch. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, timely, and just incredibly pleasant to work with. Our new floor is GORGEOUS and we couldn't be more pleased with the final product at a very fair price! They are craftsmen of the highest degree - we will be back for more!

To start, let me say I wanted my master bath remodeled and had a terrible time finding a contractor (they either wanted to charge enough to build a whole house or they never called back). My son happened to find Footprint Floors online and took a chance calling them for me. Gene showed up at my house on time, very professional and respectful. I could tell from the start, that he was very knowledgeable and was going to be great to work with. I actually cancelled another estimate and just went with Gene, once I got his very reasonable quote. Gene gave me a start date much sooner than I expected, and communication was great and consistent throughout the job….Then, Diego showed up! That man took my vision and made it come to life! He worked until the job was done, even late some days. He was also so patient with me when I changed the vision slightly. His workmanship is absolutely the best, my bathroom is now about to be the best room in my house! It’s not quite complete yet or I would post a picture. Gene and Diego are magic together, and I HIGHLY recommend them! I was sad to say ‘goodbye’ .

I was very pleased with the whole experience with Footprints Floor. Gene came out quickly to help me sort out what was needed, he provided a quote later that day for me and had me on the schedule as soon as we confirmed everything. The crew that came out was very professional and did a great job. I couldn’t be happier with how the floors turned out.

From the first encounter with Gene, i knew he was a great guy with great intentions. Not the contractor or person looking to screw you over but someone who legitimately wants to do great work. With that said, they didn’t disappoint. Floors came out great!!! Dont have a single complaint about these guys. Top notch company. Give them a shout and you wont be disappointed!!!

Excellent customer service and professionalism. I have used them for two homes now, they have the best prices, but more importantly is the quality and skill. In just half a day, they carpeted two bedrooms and a staircase. Lupe and his workers were professional and workmanship was impeccable. Previously they did luxury vinyl in my house. The previous installer did such a bad job, it was ripped out, the floor leveled and new flooring installed. I was done with better materials and better job for less money. Highly recommended.

We had a great experience with footprints floors. Gene was able to come out to our home quickly to give us an estimate. We were given great recommendations on where to get our flooring and were able to pick a date to get our floors installed in1-2 weeks. We had two bedrooms redone with laminate which was completed in 1 day. Floors look great. Would highly recommend this business

Great experience from start to finish! We had a vague idea of what we wanted for backsplash and after sharing some images with Gene they found this for us which is perfect. We love the variety and the pop it gives to our kitchen. Diego & Bruno were excellent to work with day of: on time, friendly and did a fantastic job. Everything was cleaned up and put back as if they had never been there - minus the beautiful backsplash they left behind :) Thank you Footprints Floors for giving our kitchen new life!

I had my tile in my townhome done by Gene and his crew.
Gene was great and respectful in his demeanor and communications.
They kept me abreast of all the work through text and pictures.
They looked for ways to save me money, adjusted their schedule to accommodate an error I made in purchasing the wrong materials, and worked with me through minor issues that popped up.
They gave me all of the advice and knowledge that only pros in the trade have.
They also converted my stairs from carpet to hardwood.
I’d work with them again.

From the time I spoke with Gene Hawk, it was a pleasant and positive experience. Gene was always responsive to my questions and concerns. When he and his team, Arturo & Byron, arrived for my tile installation, all were friendly and professional. They were so adept and the small job I had took them no time at all. They kept the area tidy as they worked. I am completely happy with the installation and would 100 % recommend Footprints Flooring! Thank you, Gene, Arturo & Byron for a job well done!

Outstanding Tile Installation
We had the pleasure of working with Gene and Diego at Footprints Floors for a shower tile installation, and we are thrilled with the results. The experience was exceptional, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Gene took the time to discuss the design, materials, timeline and communicated with us throughout the whole project. Diego demonstrated a remarkable attention to detail. Every tile was placed with precision, ensuring perfect alignment and symmetry. We are beyond happy with the final result. Thank you Gene and Diego!

Gene was exceptional to work with and very responsive throughout the process. We met with two floor companies and ultimately went with Footprint Floors because of their customer service. Victor was on site for installation and he and his team were great!! Our floors look fantastic and we highly recommend them!

After months of shopping around for the right flooring for us and becoming very frustrated. We contacted Gene at Footprint Floors and he was absolutely the best to work with. He provided several different options and helped guide us through the pros and cons of each product line. Also he opinion on flooring design was extremely valuable and lead to us using them exclusively to remove and install new flooring throughout the entire home.
We wish more companies were like the Florid Foot Print team. True professionals and very flexible to meet timelines and work with the other trades schedule who were on site.
Great Job Gene, thank you for exceeding our expectations

Gene Hawk and his team are the most professional contractors we have ever worked with. They were so helpful with our flooring vendor selection and the installation was coordinated perfectly. The entire process was managed with great attention to detail and their communication is beyond our expectations. You will not find a more professional and skilled team to help with your project. We will only work with Gene and Footprints Flooring from now on!

I had lost confidence in updating my condo after a disastrous experience with interior and outdoor door replacement. When I learned that Gene had opened this business I at least knew I had someone I could trust and that I knew the standards he expected. I’ve referred several friends to him AND he’s helped me identify good painters and carpenters. Prices are fair and his team has been professional and competent. Lots to still do but at least I’ve made the first steps thanks to him.

Let me start by saying, Gene and Diego rescued me from a botched bathroom remodel job. I was a nervous wreck, I was out of thousands of dollars in material costs, the bathroom was inoperable, and it was a nightmare to look at. Nothing was going right until I met these guys. Diego came in knocked everything out, gave me a beautifully tiled bathroom, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. They both were extremely pleasant and responsive and working with the duo was a breeze. Everything was done beautifully and I am extremely pleased. Diego is a magician and Gene has the patience of Job. They removed the old work, executed the new tile installation on the walls and floors, reinstalled the shower wall, and my plumber handled all the remaining installations. Everything was completed in about a week as promised. I will be contacting them in the future for any tile installation projects that I have. Thank you Diego!

FAQs
Footprints Floors specializes in expert flooring installation, no matter the material. Our skilled contractors have ample experience with hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, engineered wood, and more.
You can trust us with any flooring project, big or small. Just let us know your home improvement vision, and we’re here to deliver impeccable workmanship every time.
The best flooring for your home will depend on the size of the space, your lifestyle needs, and your personal style preferences. High-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens may benefit from water-resistant options like vinyl or tile, while bedrooms might be more comfortable with carpet.
The function of the room is also very important. Families with pets or children may prioritize a material with easy upkeep, maintenance, and stain resistance. We are happy to guide homeowners through these decisions by assessing the space and recommending flooring solutions.
Flooring installation timelines vary based on the size of your project, the type of flooring, and the condition of the subfloor. Generally, smaller rooms can be completed within a day or two, while larger or more complex projects, such as multi-room installations or custom patterns, may take up to a week.
Preparation work, like removing old flooring and repairing the subfloor, can add time to the project. When you sign onto a project with us, we provide clear timelines during the initial consultation so you know what to expect.
Flooring installation with Footprints Floors starts with a complimentary in-home consultation and free estimate. After we help you decide the best flooring type for your space, you’ll find and purchase the necessary amount of material.
We begin the project by prepping the installation space, removing existing flooring, and cleaning the subfloor thoroughly. Any necessary repairs or leveling will be completed to create a stable foundation.
The flooring will then be installed along with any baseboards, trim, or sealants. When our install team is finished, they will clean up, leaving your home as it was before the project began.
Choosing the right flooring contractor for your project will save you time, money, and stress. Look for contractors with a strong local reputation, verified licenses, and insurance coverage. Reviewing examples of past work and customer testimonials is a great way to check for reliability.
Be clear about your budget and timeline, and choose contractors like Footprints Floors who communicate openly and provide free estimates before starting the job.
Yes, all contractors working on our team are fully licensed and insured for flooring installation. They undergo specialized training and are committed to professionalism.
You can trust Footprints Floors contractors to manage your flooring project with integrity and professionalism, ensuring full compliance with local building codes and manufacturer warranty standards.
