Unprofessional unreliable What was waste of time. We needed to replace the floors for our buena vista condo. We made an appointment to go to the floor craft store to look at what options would be available. The owner 20 minutes before the appointed time tried to cancel the appointment. Highly unprofessional. The following week he came out to our home to measure. Though he did cancel the first appointment for some spurious reason. He then refused to acknowledge any further correspondence regarding estimates. An absolute waste of time and extremely bad mannered. read more

Avo and his team did a fantastic job of installing new hardwood floors in our entire house which was about 1800 square feet. This included our stairway. It looks outstanding! We weren't sure what color to stain the floors and Avo set up test samples for us to choose from and was patient during our deliberations. He also provided good advice regarding floor care. We would hire this company again and sincerely recommend them. read more

You won't go wrong working with Avo for your flooring needs. A friend referred him to us as she has worked with several clients who had great experiences with him. From the initial meeting until the final walk through, Avo was professional, listened to what we wanted, communicated throughout the process and was on time. We got a few different quotes and he offered a fair price for the quality of work we got. Some contractors didn't even bother to show up for a quote, while others quoted higher per square foot or added for "extras" that should have been included. Avo met us on a weekend at his showroom and spent a good amount of time answering all our questions. We ended up buying wood from another store and contracted with Avo for demo and installation. We are in love with out new floors and would highly recommend him to all our friends who need floors done! read more

I was referred to Avo at Area Floor Works by my general contractor and was extremely happy with the entire experience. Avo met me at our project and then brought me to his showroom to discuss options and to give some recommendations. Ultimately we ended up with a beautiful custom color that he made for us and a traditional herringbone pattern with 10" wide plank borders. I couldn't be happier. He and his team completed 4500 square feet including reactive stain and two coats of hard wax in a little over 3 weeks. Start to finish the entire process was excellent. I highly recommend Avo and Area Floor Works! read more

Area floor works did an amazing job for me. My home received a new engineered hardwood floor and a real wood staircase stained perfectly to match. Additionally, I had Avo's team refinish all my hardwood floors on the main living area, match wood in both a new closet and a pantry which blend perfectly together with the original wood. Finally, I had a hole on my living room floor from an old AV cable run. They replaced the board and stained it to main my original quarter sawn oak floor. Flawless. Lastly, due do an unfortunate accident from another tradesman, Avo came back to repair a stair to make sure I was happy. While my upstairs has new carpet over original (but damaged) hardwoods, I will have no hesitation to call Avo's team when I decide to repair the upstairs. read more

I have known Avo for a year now and have used him and his crew twice in my home in the Sunset. My floors are 100 years old and were in pretty bad shape when we purchased the home. He and his crew did an excellent job sanding and refinishing them and I get asked all the time if they are new. Most recently, Avo helped me patch a large hole in my floor where there was an unused air draw. The patch bends perfectly with the old wood on my floor and you would never know that there was once a hole there. Overall, Avo is a true professional who holds himself to a very high standard. I have worked with several contractors in the last year and he is one of two that I would recommend to friends. He is thorough in explaining his intent, shows up on time, and was a bit less expensive than another highly rated flooring contractor on yelp. read more

Avo was great to work with, I would highly recommend him for your next flooring project. He gave me great advice when I was still trying to figure out the details of my project and answered all my questions. His team were fantastic and everything was completed in a respectful and professional manner. Their attention to detail was on point. I am thrilled with my floors and cannot thank him enough for all his hard work. Just call him for an estimate, you won't regret it! read more

Avo and his guys do fantastic work and were very easy to work with. When I purchased a 1929 Spanish bungalow with original Oak hardwood floors, we didn't really realize how bad the floors were. They were covered with rugs at the open house and we were told that they were recently refinished. When we moved in, we noticed how bad the floors really were. You could see the rotary swirls from the crappy job the previous owners had done. I honestly think she had done it herself - it was terrible. When Avo came to give me an estimate, without over promising, he said he could get them a lot nicer and get out most the scratches. We decided to refinish the top floor only and put in new flooring in the living room later. He FAR exceeded my expectations!!! Even my contractor father (who is never enthused) was extremely impressed by the quality of work. The original floors are now gleaming and beautiful - and we have decided to keep the original floors throughout the house. Thanks a million Avo and team!! read more

Avo and his team did a fantastic job of patching red oak floors in the front of our house (1029 sq ft). The job required patching (where we removed a wall) followed by deep sanding to remove the existing prefinished, beveled oak planks. We weren't sure what color to stain the floors and Avo set up test samples for us to choose from. Seeing the stains in place helped us decide easily! We would hire this company again. read more

We recently moved to Corona Heights neighborhood in San Francisco and needed to refinish our hardwood floors. After contacting several companies Area floors Works gave us a very reasonable quote, so we decided to go with them. Avo and his team did a great job!

Everything about Area Floor Works deserves 5 Stars! Arvo and his team are extremely easy to work with. They are responsive, polite, extremely skilled, and thorough. My wife's large walk in closet has built-in shelving that could not be removed. The installers did a masterful job of creatively installing the flooring without moving or damaging any of the shelving. And they cleaned up after each day during installation. We have worked with several other flooring companies over the years and feel that Area Floor Works provided us the best service at a reasonable cost.

Area Floor Works did an amazing job on our floors! We recently completed an extensive whole house remodel with three levels of hardwood. With that much flooring we wanted to make sure that they were exactly what we wanted. Avo worked with us to pick out just the right flooring and did many stain samples to help us select the perfect color. The floors ended up being one of our favorite things about the house! The level of service is fantastic and the craftsmanship is suburb. We highly recommend them! We just couldn't be happier! read more

I needed my flooring done last minute in a 400 sqft. condo and they were able to pull it off in a day. They even picked up the flooring for me from where I bought it and hauled off the old carpet. Awesome service! read more

Area Floor Works did a wonderful flooring job in my condo. It was a pretty extensive 1,200 foot project that involved several wood floor tile transitions. Avo was very helpful in helping me to choose the correct wood finish for my floor, and in fairness didn't push the most expensive option, he was considerate of budget and the style I was looking for. He was also very helpful with paint color suggestions. I hadn't realized with darker floors there are certain colors you need to avoid in order to prevent clashing pallets. Overall, an amazing finish, very professional crew. In and out in three days and excellent after sales work. He even came back after my contractor had finished some custom baseboards to use a HEPA vacuum to clean the floor again I'd highly recommend Area Floor Works for a flooring project read more

We recently purchased a condo in SF and needed to have new hardwood floors installed. After interviewing a number of contractors, we selected Avo and his team at Area Floor Works. We are incredible happy with our experience and the floor looks great! Why you shouldn't look any further for a flooring contractor and feel confident in selecting Area Floor Works. # 1 - Avo First impressions matter and actions speak louder than words. Avo spent the most time with us, explaining the scope of work in detail, including potential challenges with the layout of our floor. He didn't tells us what we wanted to hear, but what we needed to know. He set proper expectations. He was conscious of our budget and calendar. We found him very knowledgeable and trustworthy, and felt good working with him from start to finish. # 2 - Flexibility and care We had delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Avo was incredibly gracious about working with us. To complete the job by our move in date he offered to work on Thanksgiving! He knew we were in a bind moving out of our rental, and cared about our well being. That is awesome! # 3 - Professional Crew Good guys. Solid workers. Polite and professional. # 4 - follow up & responsiveness Avo cares about his clients and their satisfaction. He responded to all of our questions and concerns with patience and professionalism. Greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend Avo and Area Floor Works. We will be using them again on another project in the near future and have found the company we will work with long term. read more

Avo is great. Team here is really service oriented. You are probably looking here because you have a wood floor question. These guys are on top of it. They did our house remodel -- 3 floors of wood to refinish including hardwood sanding, staining, fitting in new sections to match parquet, stairs, softwood finishing. They handled it all. Very clear on the pricing and the time expected. One of the best subs we used on the project. read more

I am a general contractor and have used Area Floor Works for all of my hardwood floor needs. Each project has been better than the previous because Avo continues to educate himself in the craft. In addition to stains available through major manufacturers, AFW offers proprietary stains that offer a custom, high-end look. I always trust Avo to recommend the best products, at a reasonable price, and installed by skilled craftsmen. AFW delivers on time, on budget, and stands by their work. I will and look forward to working with Area Floor Works on many more projects to come. read more

I was having a problem with hardwood floor installed by a different company. My neighbor's contractor recommended I should talk to Avo, someone they had worked with many times. Avo took my call and the very next day came to check on my problem in person, spent quite a bit of time with me and gave some recommendations on next steps. I wouldn't hesitate in hiring Avo for my next project. read more

Avo is a great pleasure to work with. We had new flooring installed in our one bedroom apartment much quicker than expected! We were worried about how cutting the baseboards would look, but Avo did a great job with strong attention to detail. He and his team are friendly, considerate, fast, and their work is just top-notch. Love our new floors :) read more

Avo and his team from Area Floor Works were great to work with. I initially met with Avo at his showroom and he took me through various options of engineered wood to put on top of radiant heating. He also spent time with me discussing and illustrating a plan to do custom wood work on our stair cases. He is very knowledgeable about his products and the process for laying down the flooring and also mixing stains to match on railings and steps. He laid down over 3,000 sq ft of flooring in our home and I am very pleased with how everything turned out. Avo is pretty busy so, at times he could be difficult to reach but once I did he was very attentive to the details of the job. I highly recommend Area Floor Works if you are looking for a high quality of work. read more

Excellent service provided at my medical office. Finished the job over the weekend. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs the floors done. Professional work. Could not be happier. Thanks Area Floor Works for the excellent work and service provided. read more

Area Floor Works was the subcontractor on a remodeling project we did in San Francisco, which wrapped up last year. The proprietor, Avo, was always responsive, professional and personable, carefully taking in the ideas we had in mind and offering - and executing - suggestions/solutions that stayed within our budget and timeline. I recently called on Avo regarding a mystery stain on the kitchen floor and a general question about shifting floorboards. He stopped by on short notice and provided his recommendation (hold off on addressing the stain for now) and offered to come by again in September time-frame to assess seasonal floorboard contractions at that time. Just today, I called Avo regarding the corners of a floorboard in my toddler's room which are protruding/popping up following a potty-training accident. Avo offered to stop by tomorrow(!) to assess the situation, make a recommendation and schedule a time in between other projects to come back to fix this board. Area Floor Works was definitely one of the strong links in the group of subcontractors that brought our remodeling project to completion, and Avo remains responsive, professional and personable on follow-on matters. read more

I cannot say enough about theses guys! I contracted them out of state and they were so professional, reliable,trustworthy,and knowledgeable! The work was impeccable and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs the job done perfectly without any missteps. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Had my whole house done and everything looks great. The color is very elegant and I'm amazed the original wood could be salvaged.

Avo and Area Floor works were excellent partners. They not only helped us find the perfect wood to match the aesthetic of our new home, but also custom designed and installed the material in a herringbone pattern that we absolutely love. Not only did the floor look amazing on completion, but he and his team were timely, professional and on budget. It was by far one of the best contracting experiences we have had. We loved the experience so much that we recommended them to our building to be added as preferred vendor. I highly recommend working with them on any project. They are one of those rare companies whose service matches the quality of their results. read more

Avo was super professional in coming out and giving me his advice on our hardwood floors. He's knowledgeable, prompt, professional and practical. Unfortunately we probably should have used him in the first place and we might not have brand new floors that aren't holding up as we'd hoped. read more

I purchased engineered hardwood for my townhouse in Area Floor Works a month ago. The consultant was very helpful giving me all available options from which I chose the most convenient one for my price range. The quality is very good and the master I hired finished it in a few days. I will definitely be back if i need to change my floors ( hopefully not anytime soon:)). read more

Before choosing to work with Area Floor Woks, I called and emailed 3 flooring contractors which came highly recommended on Yelp to give us quotes on refinishing and installing 2 stories of hardwood floors. I chose Avo and Area Floor Works because he explained everything patiently and thoroughly and of course the price was right. Area Floor Works did an excellent job with my floors. They refinished my entire 1st floor and installed new floors in both bedrooms on the second floor. They completed the job quicker than planned. They worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. They exceeded our expectations in every single regard. Avo was very dependable and patient with us. I would use him again and would recommend him as well. In other words, if you want a job well done at a very reasonable price and hassle free, pick Area Floor Works. read more

We purchased a home recently in the Inner Sunset. Avo and his team did a fantastic job refinishing our floors. They pulled out existing carpet, sanded, stained and sealed our hardwoods within several days. They were great to work with. They kept within the budget they quoted us and finished early. I would recommend AFW to anyone looking for help with their floors. read more

Avo and his team did great work on my place! He has great reviews for good reason! I had him come install hardwood floors in a newly purchased apartment in San Francisco before I moved in. He matched the newly installed floors quite perfectly with the hardwood that was already there in the rest of the apartment. He even evened up the tone of the wood staining in the kitchen, where a previous hardwood floor installation had left this room with floors that were strangely lighter than everything else. His quote was also less than the competition. Would definitely recommend. read more

I cannot begin to describe how happy we are with our new floors. Exceptional quality and customer service!!! These guys did an absolutely outstanding job. Fast, clean, precise!!! Thanks to Area Floor Works, we now have beautiful, bamboo textured floors. read more

We called Avo to take a look at a few floorboards that were coming loose in our upstairs bedroom (not his work). I was not sure what i was in for. I was very impressed by his professionalism and how helpful he was. He basically showed me how to fix it and did not charge for the service call. He also showed me the source of the moisture and what would be needed to fix the issue permanently. It is great that we have a resource like him out in the sunset who is honest and demonstrates that level of commitment to his customers. read more
