Professional Backsplash Installation in Lakeland / Brandon

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!

Gene, Vic and his crew did an excellent job on our floors. We had original 100-year-old hardwood floors that unfortunately could no longer be restored. The crew removed them, installed a new subfloor, and laid new LVP flooring throughout our whole house. Great attention to detail, fast work, and great communication! Would highly recommend.

Definitely recommend 💯 Gene and his team did a great job, very professional and answered all my questions. Really happy with my new floor

Gene was very pleasant to work with from the first time I called to set up an estimate to the install of my floor! His crew was very professional and hard working! I could not be happier with the job they performed! Don’t hesitate to reach out to them with any flirting needs!

We had a great experience with Footprints Floors while redoing our bathroom. Gene with FF did a great job in explaining the process, keeping in touch during the restoration and reaching out at all phases to see if we had any questions. Our tile installer Diego was outstanding ! He was prompt every day, friendly, approachable and his final product was well above our expectations ! Highly recommended !!!

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.

Gene was amazing to work with. He was punctual and competitive with his pricing. I will absolutely be using him again.

Footprints is an amazing company and did a great job on my house. If you are looking for a flooring company this is a team to hire. They are Military and Veteran Friendly Company. I give them Five Stars to my One. ret BG Vince Buggs US Army

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!

Absolutely a great experience from first contact to completion of job. Quick responses from owner on any questions about work and installers did an amazing job! Will use them again when needed.

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!

Gene and Vic were amazing to work with!! They were punctual, professional, were excellent communicators, and did a great job on our floor! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a flooring company.

Awesome crew! Extremely professional and results are amazing. We specified what we wanted and they delivered! Highly recommend.

Very patient and accommodating when it came to project timelines! Professional service and high-end finishing. Will be using again and recommending to anyone looking for quality work!

Highly recommended!!! Gene got us taken care of on very short notice. The whole process was hassle free and the crew that took care of the job was very professional.

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!!!

The job was done well, and everyone was helpful in working with us. We appreciate what Vic and his team were able to do.

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.

The installation team is one of high quality and caliber. I ordered engineered maple glue-down floors and polished tile for a small bathroom. Vic, crew chief for the wood floors is probably in the top % of installation experts for quality of work and people skills. He is hard working, dedicated, and won't leave a job unfinished. I had some delay in material shipping, and he came back to ensure final touches were complete. For the tile work. Diego was the "guy". Just as high quality of workmanship and caliber as the wood flooring crew. Gene orchestrated the entire process from ordering the floor to the final installation. My time was a bit crunched, and Gene met the demand with swiftness of time and products. Highly recommend Footprints Flooring in the Tampa Bay area. Only one other small-owned shop in the area comes close to the quality of this team but is significantly more expensive. I will definitely use Footprints again!

Excellent service. They did a wonderful job on my porch. Can’t recommend them enough and will use them again.

Jon installed my backsplash in my kitchen. He did excellent work. The job was completed in a very timely manner and he did a wonderful job. Love my new backsplash!

Great job very pleased we th made backsplash❤️

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

Gene, Vic, and the crew from Footprints were awesome. Recommended great product, great communication, and installed with excellence, even working over-time to get the project done on our timeline. Definitely recommend!

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!

Newsome high school appreciates your great work and professionalism. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful company who supports the community too. Thank you for your tile work at Newsome High School!

Footprints Flooring came through for us when NO ONE else could! Highly recommend!

Gene goes out of his way to accommodate and ensure he brings the customer's vision to life. Expectations exceeded!

Prompt and impeccable service. Fully recommend.

Gene and his team are amazing! Their level of professionalism is remarkable. I appreciated the level of communication throughout our entire project. Highly recommend!

Quality work and easy to do business.

Great experience with Footprints floor. The owner, Gene was hands on during the entire project! My floors are absolutely gorgeous! He and his team are knowledgeable and extremely professional!

5 Star Quality work!! This company sets the example of what work ethic and integrity means. The customer service, communication and craftsmanship is unmatched in the Brandon/Tampa Bay Area. Gene Hawk(founder of Footprints) is the Master of the craft with Victor and his excellent crew at the helm. Footprints is my highest recommendation for flooring. Bravo!

Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Gene was so kind. Was genuinely interested in my questions/concerns I had about my old floors.

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!

Gene and the crew are responsive immediately, helpful, and focus on actually doing good installs, not cheap fly by night work. Highly recommend.

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 Hawk and Footprints Floors do an amazing job. They installed a new kitchen backsplash at our home, and it turned out great. Gene’s team is professional and courteous, and they pay great attention to the details. Thank you!

Very good company

Gene with Footprints Floors was awesome!!! So was everyone on his team. They did my bathroom tile (shower & floors), entry floor, kitchen backsplash, and LVP throughout. No piece is awkward. Quality is excellent. His prices are fair. He does what he says he is going to do. He keeps you in the loop and gives you all info - there are no secrets. Originally, the plan was to refinish my hardwood floors. However, they were too thin and would tear up. He gave me the pros and cons of doing it, but i decided to switch to LVP. He helped me secure high quality LVP very quickly and made it happen! It looks amazing. The transitions are flawless. The stairs look incredible, they replaced the risers as well. Most importantly - they were friendly, honest, on time, and clean. Would use again in the future.

This was a great experience and business choice. Bruno the installer made a difficult hexagonal tile in two bedrooms look absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend to everyone.

The team removed our existing wood floors, prepared the slab, and laid porcelain tile. Everyone was on time, courteous, professional, performed quality workmanship and services were reasonably priced. Gene was always responsive and fair with us. We would also like to recognize and thank Diego, Bruno and the rest of the crew! We would hire this company again.

Gene and his crew did four rooms of marble floors for us and they are beautiful we could not be happier .They did great work .

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!

Gene Hawk was instructive, suggestive, courteous, quite pleasant and made our processing flow efficiently. Also, the laborers who did this work were impressively skilled, attentive to detail and dedicated to giving a beautiful work product. Thank you so much, Footprints!

Great crew, fantastic and highly recommended. Very professional and takes care of your belongings as they move and replace them

From the first time I met with the owner, Gene Hawk until the time Matt Rhoden finished the job, I was constantly asked about the service. Folks, Footprints Central Florida is all you need in a flooring company. Extremely professional from start to finish. 5 Star for sure.

I have used them twice. The first time was at my restaurant and the second was at my new home. They did an amazing job!! The work was done quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs flooring done. The team was on time, extremely professional and very pleasant to work with.

Gene and team did a fantastic job on my laminate flooring installation! I would highly recommend Footprints floors to anyone looking for an exceptional experience all the way from estimate to installation. Our family could not be happier with the outcome and will reach out to Gene when we are ready to install flooring in our other room. Reasonable costs and excellent service. We are very satisfied with our experience.

Gene was great!! I purchased a place in Tampa and he was able to match the flooring in the bedrooms that had carpet to the living area and kitchen. Considering I lived an hour away he made it all very easy for me. The floors look wonderful, Thank you 😊

Gene Hawk is a trustworthy contractor. When I first met Gene, I explained how important it was for me to have the installation completed by a specific timeframe and he agreed that it could be done and he kept to his word because moving forward he was determined to complete the installation within the promised date. Gene was always prompted to return my calls and answer any concerns I may have had. It was a pleasure working with Gene and his employees. And the job was completed a week before the promised date!!!!

A very special thank you to Matt and his partner Clayton, not only did they do an amazing job on bringing my hardwoods back to life, they did it with the highest level of professionalism and solid work ethic. Matt holds himself and his work to the highest standards and it is evident in the finished product. Thank you again!

We were very happy with our experience with Footprints. Great quality, and workmanship, dedicated staff and good communication throughout process. Very reasonable cost as well.

Gene and his team with Footprints were amazing! We were given a quote within a day of contacting them, and the work was completed the following week. Highly recommend! Our backsplash turned out beautiful!

Gene did an awesome job on our flooring. He was very professional and helpful throughout the process. I would definitely recommend and hire Footprints Floors Central again.

Grne Hawk is one of the kindest individuals with whom our family has had the pleasure of working. Prompt, deliberate, determined, and caring, this trustworthy flooring contractor will do his absolute best for all customers.

I had a pleasant flooring installation experience with Gene and his team! Gene was very responsive to all my questions and got the job done quickly. I am happy with how my flooring turned out!

They responded quickly to our request for quote, came in with a good price, finished on-time, and gave us a great new finish on our floors. We had some scheduling issues with other contractors, and Gene was able to rework his schedule to help us out. All vendors should be this easy to work with.

Tiffany was so easy to work with and oversaw our office flooring project until the end. The tile job was done quickly and turned out great! Very pleased with it! We would use Footprints Floors again and recommend them to anyone looking to tile floors.

Gene and his crew are second to none! Work quality and communication were outstanding! Gene caters exactly to what the customer desires!

I used Footprints Floors to install new tile in my office. They did a great job and Tiffany made sure we were 100% happy. I highly recommend Footprints Floors.

We had such a wonderful experience with Footprints Floors! I would highly recommend them to anyone with flooring or tiling needs!

I highly recommend Footprints. Everyone was very professional and answered all of my questions. I am extremely happy with the final results

Dan and his team were amazing to work with. Dan personally called us back and checked on the progress of our bathroom project daily. His tile man was nothing short of a master tile installer. He cut 45 degree angles on our corners (marble) instead of using some clunky trim or a schluter. The marble redo of our bathroom is nothing short of beautiful. I would highly recommend Footprints Floors, You will get a great price and beyond perfect job.

Gene is a great person all around. He is always listening and making sure the job is getting done. He is our go-to in Central Florida! Always going above and beyond!

They installed my backsplash and porcelain tile master bath flooring about 3 months ago. They did a great job, we’re happy with the finished results, and they have held up nicely! They did it for a fair price, too!

We had an excellent experience using Footprints Floors. From the time he delivered the quote until the project end, Dan was always in contact to answer questions and address any concerns. Guillermo did a wonderful job installing the tile and we couldn’t be more pleased with his workmanship.

Footprints Floors installed tile floors in all the bedrooms in my house. They were incredibly professional and always on time. The floors look amazing and completely transformed my house. I’m very satisfied with their work and would 100% recommend them as a company.

I found Dan easy to work with, the installation was beautiful, and done very expeditiously. I would recommend Footprints floors to anyone.

Dan and his team were quick, polite and did awesome quality work. I definitely recommend them

Guillermo was the contractor from Foortprints who retiled our master shower. He has an eye for detail and went the extra mile in his work, including cleaning up well when he was finished. Dan, the owner, provided excellent communication and stopped by daily to check on the progress of the tile installation and answer any questions.

Footprints Floors was excellent to work with on our project. We had a strict deadline to complete everything, and they were able to get us taken care of on time. The results are just beautiful, and we plan to have them come back for another project later this year.

Overall great customer experience!! Dan was extremely professional and responsive. Very satisfied with the quality of the work

We were very happy with, and grateful for, Footprints Floors Tampa! We had our walk in shower updated by another contractor first who totally messed up our shower floor and it had to re-done entirely, and due to poor tile cutting, we also chose to re-tile the rest of our bathroom floor. We chose Footprints Floors. Dan was helpful and professional while also being sensitive to our bad experience we had just gone through. He stayed in contact and came by to check on the progress of our job. His installer did a very nice job, our floors look great but most importantly our shower floor now drains properly! And the cost was a fair price! We definitely recommend Footprints Floors Tampa!

Dan does excellent work! I was very impressed with the quality and durability of the project and he was very professional and knowledgeable.

I have never had a bad experience with them and the quality of work is always exceptional. I would highly recommend them to any one looking for professional, high quality work.

Working with Dan was fantastic. His professionalism and integrity were very apparent, and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dan has a great eye for quality and detail. You can tell just by talking with him, that he wants you to have the best experience and final result possible.

Dan tackles all of his jobs with unmatched professionalism. The job is not done until the customer is happy, and Footprints always goes the extra mile to ensure that happens. True experts in the field, I’d trust them with my home projects anytime!

Footprint Floors were so awesome. Even when I was not ready for my project they asked if they can call me back and the time frame. The best was they kept communicating with me via text and answer ever time I texted them back. A wonderful job has been done to our bathroom and kitchen floor. I would for sure recommend them and will definitely use their services again. Thank you Dan and to your great staff. Miriam Lopez Clearwater Fl.

My experience with Footprints Floors was excellent from beginning to end. They were very responsive to any questions I had and helped me through the material purchasing process. The owner Dan made sure I knew what was happening each step of the way and personally made sure my floor was done on time! The result is beautiful. I am calling them back to do two more rooms :)

Footprints came out and provided an estimate within 24hrs and was very responsive throughout the booking process. Within 5 days I had an appt to do my kitchen backsplash. Roberto and his associate that came to do the job were amazing and did a wonderful work. I’m very happy with the outcome and would recommend them to any of my friends or family. I’ve attached before and after photos.
