Pergo
Reviews and Complaints

I installed my flooring last fall Winter look great. I left for the summer in April and returned in November to find the flooring had warped and separated at some of the seams.

I removed the baseboard and used the insulation tool to close the gaps, then put something heavy on top to hold the bubbles down left it for a couple of days. The boards separated again. I then put som glue in the separations and used the tool to close the gap and put the heavy object on top again. Still warped.

I saw Herschel large display sample at Lowe’s Redding. Took a snapshot, I drove 500 miles to Palmdale, Ca lowes and purchased 21 boxes! I needed more but it was on clearance, so I found Lowes in Victorville, Ca has some! But! On 09/25/23 the flooring was installed in my homes two bedrooms and hall. I’m so disappointed it does not look like the sample lowes advertised on the display. I loved the light oak look, I got a brownish color! Since I have investigated I discovered the samples of Herschel color are not the same at all, but they both have the same item number and name. Is this error why it went on sale in some stores and not others? Was the name lable put on the wrong sample display! Please help me as I now have an order in a faraway Lowes being put together not know which display sample it matches. Plus the second order is not on sale! This needs to be resolved asap.

Blistering at the seams , used Lowes reccomended cleaning product that Pergo claims voided the warranty. Pergo says "talk to Lowes " Lowes says "talk to Pergo " Two major companies playing a shameful pass-the-buck game. I can not buy Pergo again but I've spent over $ 25,000 at Lowes in the past ( all major appliances, lawn mowers, gas grills, landscaping, etc... What happened to customer relations ?

I purchased pergo flooring from Lowes Home Improvement believing all the reviews I had read about how great this product was if you had indoor pets. It's water resistant so no worries if your pet wets the floor and of course, it's scratch resistant. This could not be further from the truth. My floor has been down less than a year and everywhere the dogs have overshot the pee pads the floor is buckling. I am most dissatisfied as now I'm going to have to have this $4,000. worth of flooring taken up and invest in real hardwood.

We installed flooring in our living room, kitchen, dining room, short hallway, bedroom 1 and bedroom 2 (no issues). We then installed it in a bathroom, long hallway and bonus room. After the install we noticed sparkles in the floor in different planks then when the sun come up the next morning I noticed the shade variations in different planks. I called Lowe’s, they filed a claim. We sent In all the information with pictures. They approved the refund of the floors however what they did not understand is that I had already installed, caulked and painted the floor trim in 75% of the house and installed the rest but not caulked it yet. I wanted the floor to be fixed so I could finish the rest of the house with the same floor but they never would clarity that any new flooring purchased would be fixed and those issues were taken care of. So I asked for a refund for the floor molding, paint, install cost, I was denied bc I was not purchasing Pergo floors again. So I’m out $5000 plus I had to pay for someone to rip up the floors and I had to start all over again with a different floor. NOT SATISFIED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM PERGO WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

This is the beginning of year 3 flooring installed in main living areas there are many joints that the laminate has chipped away as well as raised in many areas we are typical family with children and pets we purchased your flooring because of your reputation for quality products, however this flooring has and continues to fail in the forementioned areas. It fails to be a quality product appears to worsen over time.

Purchased this floor from Lowes . The floor was going in 3 rooms and a hall. We used the recommended pergo gold underlayment . We put the floor down in the largest room first . The boxes did not contain equal lengths of flooring pieces many boxes contained mostly very short pieces with few long lengths , other boxes contained only long lengths so we had to open 5 or 6 boxes to get enough long lengths to get going. This was not our first locking floating floor to install . We have 3 other installs with zero problems. This floor did not go together easily- you had to work with it a little to get it to lock . We managed to get the floor laid down . It looked beautiful and all seemed fine . This was October 31,2021. However by spring of 2022 we began noticing a change in the floor - it was coming apart ! There is something defective in the way it locks together. We have 20 unopened boxes of this floor yet to be laid down . We did not lay down the rest of the floor once we noticed the problem . We stopped and contacted pergo - the number on the box . Then contacted Lowes as they told us to do . The people at Lowes have been extremely helpful and submitted the claim to Pergo . No complaints with Lowes what so ever ! Pergo has a difficult warranty program. Numerous phone calls , trips to lowes ( where we purchased) copies of receipts , forms etc and still we have received no response from Pergo . Pergo customer service says that this matter is between the warranty department and lowes . So you will get a huge run around from Pergo . Pergo s warranty is used as a selling feature but it is worth nothing ! Pergo does not care and they are not consumer friendly. Pergo max hardwood flooring looks beautiful but it complete junk ! Do not buy it will not stay locked together ! Pergo will do nothing to make the floor good despite the claims advertised on the product box and website . Months of waiting dealing with Pergo to come out to look at the floor ! We were told The floor had to remain in place for pergo to see - so we are stuck with 1 room of this floor that is coming apart more and more and a stack of unopened boxes of flooring we can not use. I wish I would have never purchased this junk! The other floating locking laminate floors we have after 16 years are all still together . We were trying to update our floors . Very unhappy and wish I would have researched this floor before purchasing. Once I googled this floor numerous other customers have had the same experience with the floor coming apart and not staying together. So please do not make the same mistake as we did . Research pergo max hardwood floor before hand . Do not buy ! It will not stay together and the warranty is not worth anything. Do not expect Pergo to stand behind the product . Pergo does not have a friendly or responsive customer service . They are not helpful and really do not care what your experience is with their product. My hope is to save someone else from getting taken advantage of and treated poorly.

Your product is terrible to install. Did you change the way you manufactured your planks, your locking system does not work and my flooring keeps popping apart. I have followed all of your advice, instructions, Youtube, etc, etc and it still doesn't lock together. I am a very unhappy customer. I just wasted 2 boxes of this stuff trying to get it to work.

Flooring has been installed for a week and already has several boards that are scratched and a couple with welts on them. We bought because pergo claims to be scratch resistant but clearly that is not the case as we have over 20 boards that are scratched. The product is complete garbage and if it can’t hold up for a week how is it suppose to last for years? Right on the box says ultimate scratch resistance which is not true at all. Very very displeased especially after spending 4,000 on something that should last me for years.

In October 2020 I purchased the above referenced flooring for my kitchen renovation. I noticed the ends of some planks were peeling as if they were covered with paper. When I Swiffer wet mop the floor the mop gets caught in the planks that are peeling. This has been going on for about a year - but only one plank. Now there are several.

I did contact Lowes where I purchased the flooring, but I didn't have a warranty with them for the floor, and they suggested I file a complaint with the company.

Had all my living room and halls done with Pergo Mask lumber mill oak and it said resists water, pets, scratches etc. bullcrap some got wet and swelled and will not go down now I am told sorry its discontinued? Now what they can't even fix it for a warranty what now I am at a loss as to what to do I filed a claim but don't expect much without a fight so here we go Lowes and Pergo

My name is Jim Weir. My wife and I purchased 50 boxes of your DuraCraft waterproof flooring. Out of the 50 boxes we have a full 5 boxes that are no good. Many of the planks have bubbles in them to begin with but others develop bubbles after they are down. I am attaching a picture of the box they came in and one picture to show you the type of bubble I am talking about.
We are very unhappy with this product. We paid extra to have a quality product and we paid to have the floor installed.

Pergo outlast I brought 42 boxes, it looks great, had a professional to install. We had the hardest time getting it latch and stay latch some of the planks were damage as well We did several rows and looked back and previous row unattached itself. We spent several days installing. I would like to have a discount in the cost of the labor to install

We purchased 3500sq ft of flooring from Home Depot in January. We acclimated the flooring and installed it. Within less than a month there are chips in the center of the floor and it has pulled away from the trim. We have not mopped the floor only Swiffer, so Water is not the problem.

I bought a brand new home two months ago with pergo flooring in every room. It was a selling feature of the home but before we even moved in we saw chips and scratches and holes in every room. I had a waterproof vinyl wood flooring in my last home and it looked perfect for all the years I lived there. Everytime you drop or place anything on the floor it leaves a mark. Something very lightweight like the TV remote, my dogs' bone or dropping a bottle of hand soap or anything at all leaves marks in the flooring. I keep having to buy more and more rugs to cover up holes and chips in the floor. We've been here two months and I feel like I want to replace all the flooring. I feel this product is as cheap as cheap can be and I will never buy any pergo product ever again as long as I live.

We bought Pergo Laminate Flooring in November 2017. In September of 2018 we noticed that there was an area of about 10 boards where the edges were buckling. We went back to Lowe's where we bought the flooring and informed of the problem. They filed a complaint with the manufacturer . We were notified by an inspector that he would have to come and assess the flooring. He finally came in January of this year, but we never heard anything. My husband had to go back to Lowe's and ask them to find out what the outcome of the assessment was. We were called several weeks later by Lowe's and informed that the complaint had been denied because we had used a wet mop on the floor. If we had used a wet mop on the entire floor, why was there only a small area that was involved? We have tried calling the complaint line several times but never get an answer or return call.

We bought Pergo Laminate flooring about 2 years ago, in October of last year, and we noticed there was an area where the flooring edges were buckling. We notified the store where we bought the flooring and we submitted a complaint to Pergo.in December 2018 the inspector finally came out to the house to look at the flooring.in January of this year we learned that the claim had been denied due to the fact that we had used a wet mop on the floor and it had caused the damage. The problem with that conclusion is, would it not affected the entire floor instead of one small area of about 10 planks of flooring? Also, we had purchased Pergo flooring many years ago, in 2013, and with that flooring I had used a regular cottton mop to clean that floor and it did not damage it. I use a microfiber mop on these floors now and I wring out the mop so that it is damp. The inspector decided that I mopped the floors incorrectly so that the claim could be denied. I will not buy Pergo flooring again.

There is a white residue or film on the flooring that no cleaner will remove. Everything I do to try and get it off has no good result. I'm looking for anything that will make the floor shine like it should. So far I have used vinegar and water, pledge gentle wood floor cleaner and Bruce hardwood and laminate flooring. I even used mineral spirits to try and remove built up film and nothing has worked.
