Beau Monde

I tried so many ways to have this place give me an estimate on replacing our hardwood floors. They came up with every excuse possible to NOT give us an estimate for a new floor. We have hardwood floors that were damaged by a flood and needed replacing. They said they don't do real hardwood floors anymore only I guess engineered hardwood floors which are 100% waterproof! Sounds perfect since our floor was damaged by water, but no.

He still has no interest in the job. He wouldn't schedule an estimator to come look at the job. He wanted me to bring in or send in the measurements? From our two other estimates this is a $50k plus job. Must be nice to have a company and be able to turn down good money making jobs. Blows my mind. If this guy is not the owner then I'm sure the owner would fire this guy. If he is the owner then again it must be nice to be able to turn down good money jobs. I know I will never call this place again.

Michael, the owner, is amazing. His shop is small, however his selection of Gaia floors is impressive. I was specifically interested in Gaia and Michael was so informative and knowledgeable of this product. and flooring products in general. He was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. While I didn't end up buying from him, I will definitely recommend his shop to all my friends that live in the peninsula.

Michael was very helpful during our whole flooring remodel process. We bought GAIA flooring from him and installed it ourselves. He was knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always answered our questions. We would highly recommend Beau Monde!

I contacted Beau Monde looking for the best price for GAIA floor. Michael, who is the owner gave me a lot of information on GAIA and helped me decide what to order. I called multiple places around the bay area for GAIA floor and he gave me the best price. I was able to pick up the order in Fremont in GAIAs warehouse since i live in the east bay. I highly recommend calling Michael if you are looking for GAIA or other flooring needs.

Just purchased our new LVF product from Beau Monde flooring and couldn't be more satisfied! Michael is knowledgeable about all of the various products out there and super willing to help you to understand the pros and cons of each. Quality quality quality with prices that can't be beat. Another family member also used Beau Monde when remodeling and was very happy with the flooring he purchased and the service and pricing he received. It's a true pleasure to support this local business and avoid the big box store! Marian

I had no idea what I was doing when it came to new flooring. Over the course of my renovation project I visited several showrooms. Michael at Beau Monde was BY FAR the most knowledgable and helpful, and the pricing was competitive. I am very happy with how things turned out and can testify to Michael going above-and-beyond throughout the process. For all future flooring needs, I'll 100% go with Beau Monde.

When it was time to get new flooring for my rental. I checked out a few different local companies. By far Beau Monde Floors had the best price and most of all outstanding customer service. Michael really listen to my needs and spent time going over all my options. Even when my contractor needed to push out date for floors by 6 weeks, Michael was flexible. Highly recommend!

Michael is very experienced and professional, and super easy to work with. He provided lots of useful information about flooring selection, the pros and cons of the different products, and fast efficient service when I needed help. It was very easy to place orders online, then arrange for contractors to pickup at GAIA's San Jose warehouse. When we ran into a color match problem, he was very quick to jump in and leverage his relationship with the vendor to support us.

Even the owner dropped by to inspect the issue at our site, and they were able to respond quickly to resolve the problem. It is usually when problems come up that a vendor's customer service philosophy and process gets tested. In our case, they came through with flying colors! I highly recommend Michael as a resource for any flooring needs, and he will get the job done!

We were looking to replace carpeting in two of our bedrooms within a two week time frame. We initially went to Home Depot, which turned out to be quite a frustrating experience, since everything was decentralized. The person who came to measure the room was not connected to the person who can help us order the carpet and is different from the person who can schedule the carpet laying. Luckily, we found Beau Monde and stopped by the store the same day, spoke to Michael in person, picked out the carpet we want, scheduled the appointment, all within two hours. Michael was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It was such a pleasant and easy experience that I will never consider going back to Home Depot for any of my flooring or home improvement needs again. Highly recommend!

I stopped by this business to check out a new brand of LVP and I was pleasantly surprised to find the owner Michael is very engaging. He was helpful and friendly without being pushy. He took the time to explain the different brands and quality of materials. He has deep knowledge after many years in business and having sold many kinds of materials before. I felt like I learned a lot about the LVP I was looking for, trusted his recommendations, and would be likely to consider revisiting his store and doing business with him.

Michael at Beaus Monde Fine Floors did a great job putting in my carpet. His pricing was fair and actually, I got a better value and a much nicer carpet than at the local box stores. He ordered samples for me and was very accommodating. It was on schedule and in budget! I would highly recommend.

I was referred to Beau Monde Fine Floors by a friend. I love to support local independent businesses. Michael Kazarian is so knowledgeable in his field of floors and carpets. He went above and beyond with his time helping me choose the right floor for my remodel. He is very professional, patient and easy to work with. He does the research and stands behind the products he sells which was a relief as the process of a remodel can be overwhelming.

His pricing was also competitive and reasonable. My contractor made a mistake on a trim piece and Michael was able to expedite the piece quickly so not to hold up the job. I would definitely work with him again. 5+ stars!

Today I had the pleasure of hiring Michael and his associate at Beau Monde! He's very knowledgeable, been doing this for 30 years, family run. he's reliable. His prices are good, you'll get someone who will even come to the location to make sure it's done right! Wow. I am installing into my condo, so he even made sure my HOA has the correct info about the products. Amazing. Highly recommend.

I recently had new floors in my kitchen by Beau Monde. I am extremely happy with the hybrid flooring I picked out. We incurred a problem with the original color I had chosen, but Michael suggested another one that actually worked better with both the cabinets and the counter top. I enjoyed working with Michael a small business owner as opposed to a box store, he made my shopping experience an easy chore and I would recommend him to anyone considering new flooring anywhere in their home.

Hello, If you are looking for carpet or flooring, I highly recommend this place. The owner has been in business a long time. The funny thing is Michael doesn't try to sell you - but he does educate you. He was very helpful and patient with me as I visited the store several times working through the selection process. He made suggestions based on my budget and spent a lot of time with me to make sure I was happy with my final selection. I've completed two project over the years with Michael.

My Amtico floor which was installed over 10 years ago in a rental unit, looks almost new with really no wear. It's been amazing! This past November (2018) Michael helped me with an order for wool carpet and a click flooring. I've been super happy with both so far. I've purchased carpet from big flooring stores as well, and while I had a good experience - it really didn't compare with the value and service Michael provided.

Michael has extensive experience and is very knowledgeable about his products, both natural wool carpet and the newest luxury vinyl flooring. He worked with us on on the process from beginning through installation. We are very pleased with both wool carpet and flooring. Michael pays attention to detail throughout. He removed the old flooring trim wood prior to painting for cleaner finish, and helped our contractor set the new fireplace hearth to the height that would match the new plank flooring when done afterwards.

He hand painted a wood threshold to match gray wood grain planks. He purchases a special flooring cleaner only available in bulk and prepares individual size bottles for his customers.

Michael at Beau Monde flooring is a gem. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, accommodating, and listens to understand your needs/desires/constraints. Job #1 done in 2016: We needed a new floor that was clean and easy to maintain, desired that it be beautiful, functional, water resistant (as part of the area was near a pool), and were constrained by our budget and quick timeline.

His company installed a gorgeous new Amtico (a brand of luxury vinyl plank product recommended by an architect friend of mine that can be found in commercial quality buildings like University libraries, Michelin starred restaurants, Yachts/boats, that is more well known in the UK) floor and new nylon carpet. What sets Michael apart: - you can reach him personally if you have a question or problem - his installers are top notch- clean, polite, good at what they do - He is an Amtico expert- he was the authorized installer recommended to me from the manufacturer of Amtico for our SF Bay Area - He has a showroom-you can look at/touch/borrow samples - He cares about the success of your project- he worked well with other contractors, and processed change orders quickly so we could meet our timeline. - He is honest -did not try to always upsell, but gave his opinion on what was worth doing and what was OK to leave alone. - Price is reasonable/affordable- He sells items that are pricier, and less so, so there is a range to fit the budget. Result: Everyone who walks into the house finds the new flooring beautiful.

We have wood look floors without having to worry about chipping, scratching, denting that might have happened with hardwood. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Beau Monde Flooring. Update: It's been two years since job #1. The tenant moved out after a year. Even after having the furniture moved out and two little dogs on it, the floors looked as good as the day it was installed- no scratches or wear and tear-and it still looks good.

We are happy with the ease of maintenance and how they've held up so far. Job #2 Just had Michael and his team come out in July to do new neutral nylon carpet and pad in a big house: library, family room, stairs, hallways, bonus room, bedrooms, walk-in closets. What I loved: - Takes time to understand what you need/want: Michael is still very patient, thoughtful, and really listens to the concerns/goals. - Speed: I needed it done quickly, and he gave me quick responses on how long it would take for the carpet to arrive and when they could schedule the work. - Schedule/Budget/Service: They did the install on time, in budget, even left me extra pieces in the garage as I requested, and left the place clean when they were done.

It looks great. - Picking out product: He is up front about pros and cons for each potential product choice, and shares his knowledge well, so I felt like I was making an informed decision. - Data on product: He happily emailed me spec sheets so I could see more detailed info on the density and weight of the carpet I was ordering. - Still thinks of the customer's needs first: I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a different material on the ground floor main living area (as this was a rental house), and he showed me choices, but advised to keep what I had (which was still in good condition), and when the budget allowed or if I needed to, to change it later. - Michael provides fantastic customer service and is a knowledgeable flooring professional. We are happy with our new flooring.

Without question, 5 stars! I have some small apartments that are all carpeted, and I have used Beau Monde at least a half dozen times for them, and also for the hallways and stairs. Of course, re-using Beau Monde on multiple occasions in the past 5 or 6 years, demonstrates my complete satisfaction. At this time I would use no other company for my carpeting needs. Michael, the owner, is immediately responsive and ensures that the job is finished to perfection. Besides, the price is right:.what more could one want?

I would highly recommend Michael and his team. They did a wonderful job helping us select wool carpet and padding, and provided helpful feedback on the pattern and color that would compliment the rest of our apartment in San Francisco. Installation was quick and professional -- imperceptible seams, perfect corners, and no remaining mess or damage. Highly recommended for wool carpet installations in the Bay Area.

This is our second time using Beau Monde Fine Floors. Around 2000 we opted for wall to wall carpeting for our modest 2 story North Beach condo. This time, October of 2016, we opted to go with an alternative to hard wood floors. Luxury Vinyl Tile. Michael at Beau Monde was a terrific reference for both jobs. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about all available products, but he and the people he chooses to work with are craftsman.

Our job being on multiple levels, sub floors and rooms posed a number of tricky obstacles. Beau Monde in all cases was up to the task and in fact exceeded our expectations. The end result was far more than we could have hoped for: on price, on quality and on time!

I have used Beau Monde Flooring numerous times and Michael Kazarian and his team have never disappointed. Michael thoroughly knows his products and can make knowledgeable recommendations on everything from carpet, to padding, to tile, to flooring. One of the best things about working with Michael is that he works very well with other trade contractors which is a huge advantage when doing a remodel. Overall I would highly recommend Michael and his team and will continue to use them for all my flooring needs.

We had our home remodeled last fall and a part of it was the installation of new carpeting. We had always had nylon carpets in the past, and while they were okay, they just don't last. Michael turned us on to wool carpets and. what a difference! (Check back in 20 years or more and we'll let you know how they are wearing.) The selection may be a bit wider at some of the larger outlets, but after shopping around it was clear that Michael knew what he was doing.

He was very helpful in picking the carpet that was just right for us. I was pleasantly surprised that the price was not as high as I thought. While wool may cost quite a bit more per yard, by the time it's installed the differential is not as bad as I expected. (It costs the same to install wool as it does nylon.) Had I to do it over again, I would pick just what Beau Monde installed.

No regrets at all. The installers were fast and very professional. I was warned (by our painter) that "the carpet guys always beat up the walls and baseboards." But not this time. I had a hard time finding any nits to pick. and certainly no complaints. (That painter needs to work with Beau Monde more so he can see what "the good guys" do.) I recommend Beau Monde very highly.

I discovered Beau Monde Flooring when I was researching a new type of flooring for my kitchen, foyer, and adjacent powder room. The current ceramic tile flooring had nasty looking grout and was way too much trouble to clean and was cold and hard to walk on (or kneel on). I was getting nowhere until I was referred to Michael by my previous flooring company. Michael showed me a new (to me) type of flooring called Amtico.

What an incredible product! Any type of look is available in this next generation vinyl product. Stone, wood, or a great variety of abstract patterns in plank or tile shapes with an endless choice of borders, inlays, stripping, etc. I choose the Marcasite 18" square abstract with a red tone 1/8" stripping in Amtico where the grout would be in a tile floor.

It looks fantastic in my new kitchen with crimson stained cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances and Whitney pattern Cambria quartz counters. Oh, and did I mention that it is durable as all get out, super easy to clean, and easy to walk (and kneel on)? Michael is wonderful to work with, a true professional and a top rate designer. Anything you can dream of Michael can deliver. Installation was excellent with a very experienced Amtico installer.

I liked the Amtico so much that I had it installed in my second floor laundry room and guest bedroom. I used the same Marcasite pattern with a light silver stripping in the laundry room and a teal blue stripping in the guest bedroom. Same tile but completely different looks due to the amazing chameleon like quality of the Marcasite pattern and the different stripping. This product can easily be used in every room of the house.
