Panter’s Home Design & Flooring

What a great company to do business with. Fast, friendly, and very efficient from start to
finish. High quality work and the finished product (wood floors) are beautiful.

It has been about 9 months since we had some upgrades done to our home by Panter’s home design. We originally purchased our home as a new build about 4.5 years ago and we weren’t able to get everything done exactly how we wanted. We were just trying to get into the house. Much of the house was covered in carpet and laminate flooring. We were in the right position to do some work and had several estimates.
What it came down to was the price and quality. Originally, I settled with Lowe’s but Shane was able to ease the blow by lowering his price because of the amount of work I was getting done and he even threw in the backsplash to win my business. What impressed me when I first met Shane, he was able to tell me right away that he had the laminate to match my floor and the others could not and said they would try and find something similar.
We had the living room and family room tiled, with a backsplash added to the kitchen and around the fireplace. They placed laminate on the stairs, the upstairs hallway, and the master bedroom. The laminate added matched exactly to what we already had downstairs in the entry way, kitchen and dining area. We wanted to place laminate in the kids’ rooms but we decided to wait because we had so much furniture moved that it was hard to get around.
We had the work done the weekend before thanksgiving. They started on Friday while we were at work and then continued Monday and finished by Wednesday. I even left them a key because we took off to Vegas for a friend’s wedding. It was perfect for us because we didn’t have to be here. The crew was great and respected our home.
The stairs took the longest because everything had to be cut just right. We were very happy with the job and would use them again. Shane told me to call him if any problems popped up and he said it didn’t matter if it was a year or longer, that he just wants his customers happy.
I was able to get all of the work done for under 8K and it made our home feel brand new again. I can’t wait for our next project. Good luck on your project.

After meeting with several flooring companies I found Panters Flooring on Angie’s List. I spoke with Shane briefly and was blown away by his knowledge and professionalism. We set an appointment and he arrived on time and with several of the samples we spoke about. He spoke open and honestly about the samples and what he thought would be a good fit for our home based on the white oak concept. Never did I feel like he was trying to sell me something.
Ordering, payment, and setting up installation was a breeze and the crew arrived on time at the agreed upon start date. The crew helped move all of our furniture and covered it properly. They even covered entryways and all of the kitchen cabinets in plastic to help keep dust to a minimum. In addition to being flooring experts, the crew was accommodating if we wanted certain boards placed or not in a specific area.
The end result is amazing. Our new floors are truly the wow factor of our home. Shane even came back a couple weeks later for a follow up and to take care of a few glue marks the guys missed. Panter’s Flooring has fair pricing, expert crews, and a professional leader in Shane. As a woman with a baby who bought a fixer up I could never express enough how important it is to have professional and honest people working in our home. I feel like that is what you get when you work with Panter’s Flooring.

We were looking for a flooring contractor to repair a damaged hardwood floor in our rental. After being outright snubbed by the contractor who originally installed them, we went to Angie’s List and found Panter’s Home Design. We liked the excellent reviews and their subsequent estimate, so we hired them. They did such a good job with the repair, you couldn’t even tell the floor had been damaged in the first place.
When we decided to re-​floor our own home, we went back to Panter’s. The quote was more than affordable and Shane worked with us on financing. His crew was very skilled, professional, and hard-​working. They removed our existing glued-​down hardwood floor and tile and installed the new hardwood in the entire house. They also painted/​installed/​detailed the floor molding. If there was a problem, they fixed it on the spot. The work was completed on schedule.
We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Shane and his team at Panter’s Home Design.

We were very pleased with the professionalism of Paanters. They promised that they would have our new flooring put in before we moved in and they had about a week notice and they definitely followed up on their promise. When we moved in everything was perfect, the molding, the floor and our whole house was spotless and ready to move-​in. They even removed some tile for us. Their prices were competitive with other estimates we had gotten. Overall extremely pleased and will be doing more flooring with them for the upstairs when we are ready!

Excellent workmanship, extreme attention to detail, and very professional… that’s how we would describe Shane and his team.
We had been shopping for wood flooring for quite some time, but hadn’t felt we found the right company. Panter’s Flooring was a random referral by a furniture design consultant. The recommendation was so positive and compelling we decided to stop by their showroom. Surrounded by dozens of choices, Shane listened to our ideas and recommended samples that would match our style.
Once we decided on the color and material, we had quote within a day. We hadn’t received a quote before but our instincts told us he was fair. We had over 1000 SF of wood flooring installed. Without Shane’s expertise and concern that everything was being done perfectly we wouldn’t have these beautiful wood floors. You will not be sorry choosing Panter’s Flooring.

The wife and I were looking to install some tile throughout our house. We found the tile we wanted on State College, but wanted to shop around for an installer. We found Panter’s onYelp and thought we’d give them a try based on their reviews.
Shane came over to take our measurements and sent over a quote the next day. His quote was very affordable (compared to other bids we received) and his tile price was even cheaper than what we found in Fullerton!!!
Steve and Mike were the guys who installed the tile and they are awesome. The crew was over every day in time and always cleaned up and left the house in good shape. They were very friendly and knowledgable.
The original time frame was four days, but ended taking a week. That was mainly due to the snowstorm up north not being able to ship the tile on time. Also I ended up changing the job up to include new base boards. But with the quality of work they did it was worth the wait. They were extremely attention to detail.
Thank you guys for the A+ job. I will definitely recommend them to anyone and will call them when I’m ready for some more work to be dine!!!

Shane and his crew did an absolutely wonderful job. Our new hardwood floors look amazing. Everything was done professionally and with as little mess as possible. Of course I put Shane through some changes — typical woman stuff.
One of his wood guys, Dustin, is an absolute gem. He installed his specially carved baseboards and even made wood steps for our circular staircase. He really takes pride in his work and actually enjoys creating wonderful wood carvings. The carpeting crew did a beautiful job installing the carpeting in the two bedrooms.
The pattern we chose is exceptionally nice; the crew installed the carpeting is on an 8 pound padding under the carpet and it is like walking on a cloud. I highly recommend Panter’s for all your house projects. An honest company with talented workmen. You really can’t go wrong. Fair prices also.

For several years I was procrastinating having work done on my condo because of horror stories I’ve heard from friends and co-​workers on shoddy worksmanship. I was terrified I’d have a bunch of work done, only to need it redone again 6 months in the future. When my ceiling started caving in downstairs due to leaks upstairs, it was time to get serious and start looking. My girlfriend blasted her department at work and picked up some contacts who had had remodeling done on their homes.
I had 5 contractors come and take a look at the work to be done. Shane from Panter’s wasn’t the cheapest price of the bunch, but he was the only one who gave me a professional estimated quote and statement of work, as well as followed up with me the week after while I had other contractors coming to take a look to see how it was going. Not only that, but when he came over to check out the flooring, he also took my suggestions for work in the kitchen, bathrooms, ceiling, plumbing, the works! He offered to project coordinate it and subcontract it out to some reliable guys he works with. Dream. Come. True, as long as they’re all top notch quality.
Well now that all my work is completed I CAN say with 100% certainty the quality was top notch. They walked me through step by step on how it’s supposed to be done right, how other contractors do it wrong to assure me I wouldn’t have to redo it year’s down the road. Here’s a list of the work performed on my condo:
Panter’s Flooring:
— Project managed all work from beginning to end, great job!
— Demolition of old tile and carpeting
— Beige tile in kitchen and all bathrooms
— Kronos distressed Appalachian Hickory laminate everywhere else, including stairs
— New fancy 4″ super white baseboards throughout
Subcontracted to Franco @F A B Construction (these guys were incredible to work with):
— Leaking pipes from toilet and bathtub fixed with new parts
— Ceiling holes re-​insulated, patched, and retextured, checks for structural damage (thankfully none!)
— New LED recessed lighting in the kitchen with crown molding, retextured ceiling
— New espresso color kitchen cabinets, w/​lazy susan & stainless steel sink
— Beautiful river white granite countertops
— Glass/​stone/​metal modern backsplash
— New Stove & Over the range microwave installed
— New toilets in all bathrooms installed
— New faucets in all sinks installed
— Demolition of old primary master bathtub and enclosure
— New Kohler Villager bathtub installed
— Fire wall in bathroom replaced (illegally damaged from bank prior to sale)
— New tiled enclosure for bathtub with nook & accent tiles
— Adjusted shower head up about 4″, new mixer, shower head, handle installed
— All old plastic waterstops & hoses in the condo were replaced with new half turning ones
Total time for work performed was about 4 weeks.
As you can see I was have a LOT of work done. Shane organized it so that it would impact me living at my house during at that time as little as possible. Out of the 4 weeks, I was needing to live at a friends place for about a week and a couple days. I can go on and on with details but let me just hit my top pros and cons for working with Shane of Panter’s Flooring.
Pros:
— Fair Prices (came in middle of the pack)
— Zero price creep, except for work I requested to be added
— Quality work
— Trustworthy
— I asked about their worksmanship warranty, it’s lifetime guarantee!
— Shane & Franco some great choices on colors and ideas for the remodel
— Customer focused, I could always get ahold of Shane & Franco and they both went out of their way to see I was satisfied
— Shane did a great job with project coordination, keeping me informed of schedules and upcoming work every couple days
Lesson’s learned (Cons):
— Lost a couple days waiting for some parts to come in. Don’t start the work/​demo unless everything has arrived, shipping can be late at times!
— You may need to repaint after that amount of work, there were many marks on the walls.
— If you order Granite, make sure it’s sealed, first thing! Mine was not and unfortunately there was some very slight discoloration in a noticeable spot before they came back to seal it a couple weeks later. Usually pre-​fab slabs are already sealed, they’re trying to figure out why this was not. I wouldn’t say this was their fault, but they handled it professionally.
Overall:
I’d be happy to work with Panter’s Flooring and F A B Construction again. They did an excellent job with my remodel and I’m a very happy customer. Tell them you saw their Unilocal reviews when you come in!

My husband and I are huge fans of the TV show Holmes on Homes, so when it came time to hire a flooring contractor for our new town home, we were very skeptical and even afraid.
Fortunately, our fears were alleviated by Panter’s Hardwood Flooring. Like many people in search of contractors, we heard about Panter’s from a good friend. She had had hardwood floors installed by them and raved about her experience. When she showed us pictures of her reno, we were impressed by the quality of the floors. The quality was top-​notch.
Our first step was calling Panter’s. Right off-​the-​bat, we spoke with Shane, the owner. He informed us that Panter’s is family-​owned and has been in business for over 25 years. He has two stores, one in Corona and one in Banning. His installers have travelled from L.A. to El Cajon, so they had no trouble driving to us (the O.C.). Keep in mind, though, that if they do have to commute to your property, there will be a travel expense built into your invoice. (It won’t outright say it, but it’ll be there, most likely, in the «flat rate.»)
What we liked about Shane (aside from the fact that he is licensed and has so much experience) is that he’s genuine and honest. He’s very upfront about the quality of product (hardwood vs. engineered, import vs. domestic wood, etc.) and cost. Every time we spoke with him, we felt like we were getting educated, and there was never a push for a sale.
We ended up purchasing Bruce hickory engineered flooring for our downstairs, including the kitchen, porcelain tile for the bathrooms, and Mohawk carpet for the stairs and upstairs. The same carpet, I might add, was more than twice the price at Home Depot! We also purchased baseboards (nearly 4″ high).
They installed everything in three days (which was our move-​in deadline) and cleaned up after each day of work. Impressive? Most definitely. Will we work with him again in the future? You bet.
