Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Sherman Oaks, CA

"Juan and his crew were amazing! Exactly how you want working with a contractor to go. He was on-time, friendly and completely professional. His crew was fast and efficient and were concerned about our house and furnishings. They were great to cover everything and cleaned up after. The floors are restored to beautiful condition. They had many years of renters' wear and tear. They even were able to refinish a section of flooring in the kitchen that the other contractors told me need to be replaced. And now, the best part: the price was very inexpensive compared to the other (outrageous) quotes I received. Juan's price was right on target for what I had expected. The other quotes I got were out of this world (3x as much). I will definitely be recommending Always Improve Flooring and would not hesitate to call them again."

"We had vinyl flooring installed throughout our house. The crew removed the old carpet, baseboards and some tile. They installed new baseboard and flooring. Javier's crew did a FANTASTIC JOB! The price was very reasonable, and it was easy to communicate with Javier. We were told what time the crew would arrive and how long it would take to complete the work. After the flooring was installed, the crew cleaned up and didn't leave a mess on the floor. they are very friendly and nice. They installed flooring in another house that we had and because they do GREAT work we had them do our house. I HIGHLY recommend Monteros Hardwood Flooring."

"Juan and his team installed new wood floors for our entire third level and a stairway. They are professional and hardworking. No doubt the best price you can get for top quality work. Highly recommend."

• We had a tight schedule with a upcoming move in date. Mike Pillar came to our new home, and got back to us with an estimate. We decided to accept his bid, selected one of the samples that he provided, and went to his shop to sign the contract. At that time we were told that the wood that we had selected was not in stock, and it would take six weeks to get. He suggested an alternative, that was available immediately. We were disappointed but had a time crunch, took the new sample to our home, and determined that is as an acceptable replacement, (although visibly was inferior quality 25% thinner), than our original selection. The following week, we met with the installers, and proceeded to leave them to work, when the foreman came running after me, and wanted to show me that the wood that they were installing, did not match the sample, that was still in my house. It was clearly a different dye lot. I was very upset and got in touch with Mike Pillar. He insisted that it was the same, even though myself, my husband, and his employee clearly saw a difference. I was thrilled to find out that the original wood that we had selected suddenly was available, however, we were now being charged an extra $680 to get the floor that we were originally quoted on. The explanation that we were given for the price increase was that the stairs cost more with that wood, even though that flooring isn't even on the stairs. The stairs are stained wood. In the end the quality of the work, and the overall pricing was good. I didn't appreciate the bait and switch tactics, the unreasonable price increase, or the way that I was spoken to by the owner.

"Amazing - Byron and Pedro were punctual, courteous, and the job they did was nothing short of impeccable. My floors look fantastic and can’t recommend them enough!"

"I can’t recommend Royal Oak Flooring highly enough. My wife and I met Laurie at her shop on Ventura Blvd. (suggest you make an appointment to ensure finding her there) in order to figure out whether Royal Oak could accommodate what we were trying to do. Previously we’d talked with 2 big-box stores and 2 small flooring shops but they all seemed to be trying to sell us very basic (but cheaper) installations. We wanted a floor with a thin black strip about 5” in from the wall to serve as a border. We also wanted mitered 45-degree corners rather than butted. The Royal Oak store is not large, compared to, say, Floors & Decor, but it has an overwhelming variety of samples. And Laurie is the kind of person who will make a phone call on the spot to find out if what you want is possible. She gave us several 2”x2” samples to take home and emailed us quotes for the different flooring and installations we were considering. After a few days we settled on a floor with 5” wide maple planks and the black border. We appreciated Laurie’s willingness to listen to what we wanted rather than try to sell us what she’d already done 1000 times. We realized why Laurie had the confidence to consider alternatives to the basic installation after Rafael and Abel showed up. These guys were the craftsmen we were beginning to think existed only on some other continent, the craftsmen who’d have to be flown over to the U.S. and put up in a motel while they worked on our mitered corners and our black border 5” from the wall. My wife and I are both retired engineers, so (1) we’re detail-oriented, and (2) we got a lot of time on our hands. I can be a pain in the butt, for sure, but Rafael and Abel never shied away from questions. And they asked them too. At one point I asked Rafael if there was a saying in Spanish equivalent to “The Devil is in the details.” Smiling, he assured me there was. Quite honestly, it got so that just seeing these guys in the morning was reassuring. They cleaned up everyday before leaving, made Herculean attempts to keep dust from escaping, and in general tried to reduce their impact on the normal house functioning as much as possible. We’re very happy with the new hardwood floor we got thanks to Royal Oak Flooring."

"Most professional company Iâ ve worked with for any sort of construction. I donâ t normally take the time to write a review but these guys deserve it! Thanks for redoing our floors!"

"These guys are phenomenal! Originally had them come out to refinish the hardwood floors in the three bedrooms, and was so pleased with the quality of their work, that I had them come back for an encore performance in the living room, entry, dining room, and hallway. The house was built in 1951, so the floors are over a half-century old, but Mario and his crew brought them back to life beyond all expectations. They removed the Pergo flooring, repair a couple spots of termite damage (matching and replacing the wood), did an amazing job cleaning up where the original floor heater had been, which involved dismantling the previous repair attempt, bringing the sub floor up to the correct level and then interweaving the replacement red oak into the existing flooring (in both the hall and the living room). Great crew (Albert, Charlie, and Jordy, along with the owner, Mario Diaz), who were always punctual (actually, early), explained everything in detail, worked hard, and cleaned up nicely. They magically made the 65-year old floors look like new – and finished everything off with a matching molding that really set off an exceptional job. Could not be more pleased! Very knowledgeable, excellent work ethic, beautiful end product, and prices that are more than fair. Thank you! Gentlemen. Plan to have them do more floors in the not to distant future - incredible quality of work at a great price."

"Adam and his team were terrific. I had my wood floor in my entire house refinished and beautiful new tile installed in the kitchen. The workers were professional, clean and got the job done on time and as promised. Adam also made excellent suggestions and was always there to make sure all was going well. FIVE BIG STARS for Footprints Floors LA / San Fernando Valley!"

"I expected the baseboards to be removed for the install of the floors and then reinstalled. I was never told that the baseboard would not be removed... which means that the wood was only installed short of the baseboards, and now, I will always have to have a base shoe. This is not a design element that I want to be forced to live with. We went back and forth about how unhappy I was with being pigeonholed to this decision... and things got quite contentious at times. But all in all, the wood floors themselves look good."
