  Jordan was extremely professional, efficient, and attentive to detail! He delivered all of my flooring and materials promptly and took the extra time to carefully stack and organize everything, leaving it looking neat and orderly. His diligence and care did not go unnoticed. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

  Great customer service. I made an ordering mistake on some finish and they were able to catch it before it shipped out and change out the product I miss selected. Catching things before they're shipped probably saved me a week of hassle with returns and everything.

  If you have stumbled upon Panel Town, for flooring, look no further.  They have a great selection of floors.  Herman helped me out, he was very helpful, knowledgeable, gave me thoughts & ideas, and also best price match around.  Panel Town quoted me a couple thousand less than my quote from my installer.  Needless to say, I paused on my flooring install.  When I came back months later, the quote was less & they have recommended installers.  I went with Krumlaff floors.  Herman ordered my flooring, held onto for a week & had it delivered.  I definitely recommend Panel Town!

  We went into panel in town because we needed advice on how to deal with some issues regarding our bamboo engineered hardwood floors. Herman was the employee that helped me and he did a phenomenal job at answering all of my questions giving me solutions on fixing scuff marks and some of the peeling finish on the floors and overall alleviated a lot of anxiety that we had on the integrity of our floors. Amazing service. Could not ask for more would recommend and will be back in the future.
