I was very impressed with Miguel and his team. First time I called him, he answered his phone, no phone tag or messages like I seem to get with so many other contractors. He stopped by to review my ~1800 sq foot oak floor refinishing project the same day, and I had a quote by the end of the week. I really appreciate this kind of efficiency. The price was excellent, much lower than what Google estimated for my zip code. Another thing that differentiated him from the other companies I called was that he was willing to help me move my heavy furniture items out and back in when we returned from our trip (it was a 2-week job). That was a relief for us - I didn't want to have to coordinate with a moving company for such a short job - and my wife and I can't manage the heavy items. The repairs were perfect, and it all looked like new when he was done. I highly recommend Diaz Hardwood Floors. read more

Well to begin with, the guy didn't show up on a scheduled date, so we REscheduled & he came, then he said he'd email me an estimate, then he Never did send the estimate so I reached out & left a message, and then I NEVER heard back! Now, we were not in a hurry to get the floor done but I did make it very clear that I wanted an estimate first & could schedule the work for later. WOW! read more

Bad experience getting an estimate from this business. Too expensive, outrageously asking $15/sqft for a simple maple floor refinish. Rude at the end of the interaction. Din't feel like someone I'd trust my kitchen with. We're adding to our review as Diaz has responded to our comments. At the end of our interview we asked you if you could email us your "quote". We do that with everyone who comes to our house with the purpose of doing a quote. You had barely scribbled some numbers on your notebook and didn't even offer us a copy. But instead, when asked if you could email us a quote, you rudely responded that the quote was what you had said and you were not going to send us any emails (!). This is the worst customer service we can think of. Red flag #1. Furthermore, let's be earnest: you weren't completely honest with us when you said that our floor was wavy and it would take extra hours to work on it. We know our floor, Diaz, we walk barefoot everyday on it, and we know it's not wavy. Red flag #2. On the phone, your words were "it will cost $1500, but more probably around $1800". Once you came to our house your quote turned out to be $2500, plus $1000 for the baseshoes(!) That's like $3500 for 230sqft worth of hardwood floor and, katchink, definitely red flag #3. We refinished our hardwood floor with someone else, thankfully with professionals who know how to treat well and respect their customers. The floor is EXCELLENT now. read more

I have been in business as a general contractor in Santa Cruz for more than 40 years and I have hired many different flooring contractors over the years. However, once I met Miguel Diaz, I never looked for another company again to install or refinish floors for me. In fact, I have his company do the floors in my own home. His crews are punctual, polite, and extremely professional . If you want what I consider the best job at competitive prices, you can't go wrong with Diaz hardwood floors. read more

Our experience with Diaz Hardwood Floors was amazing! From start to finish. Miguel was professional and very pleasant to work with. We were told the job would take about a week and it ended up only being 4 days. The crew was great (especially Alex who was here every day). The floors look amazing!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their floors refinished. Thank you Miguel and his crew for doing an amazing job! read more

It's our pleasure to offer a glowing review for Diaz Hardwood Floors. We had fairly OLD white oak floors in 3 rooms-with a wide variety of defects and even termite destruction in some spots. Mr. Diaz was quite confident that his crew could perform a beautiful transformation. And they did it...we think their price was great! We have a tiny bit of experience with small scale wood projects: We definitely know that a high level of skill, and a desire for perfection, are critical. Diaz Hardwood Floors delivered! Please don't hesitate to contact them. read more

I did my shopping before finally selecting Diaz Floors. They gave us recommendations for colors, fixed damaged areas, moved out the fridge, put 4 coats on, and even painted my existing baseboards. The job was not an easy one and we ran into a couple of issues along the way but Miguel and the team did everything they could to make our floors look great. The finished product turned out amazing. Our learnings: in addition to understanding how long the job would take, understand what you will and won't have access to during that time, which days will be very loud for sanding, and that the smell of varnish is really bad so anyone with a sensitivity should plan to not be home. read more

Miguel is incredible to work with on your floor refinishing project. We call around and received three bids; Miguel's was by far the best combination of price and quality of workmanship. I cannot begin to describe how pleased we are with the end result of our refinished red oak floors. Miguel was even able to match new red oak flooring where we previously had tile, to the existing 1960s oak floors, creating a continuous finish for our entire area...thanks Miguel and team! read more

I made contact with Diaz hardwood floors on Monday Monday morning they were able to get back to me shortly there after could do a quick small job cutting out some floor vents and fixing some other issues I created as a DIY. Alex was excellent, Great craftsman took care of the issue quickly. I really appreciate all the efforts they took and I would highly recommend them in the future. read more

Diaz Floors did a great job refinishing my 1950s hardwood floors! I highly recommend them. They showed up on time and communicated well. Their written bid was reasonable. They replaced several stained or termite damaged boards and the result is seamless. They gave me a choice of stains and I chose the light one -now my old floors look modern as well as fresh and beautiful. Thank you,Miguel, Carlos and Eddie. read more

Miguel is lovely to work with, and his team finished my floors earlier than planned, and they look beautiful. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the wrong finish being put on the floors. I had Miguel and his team remove carpets in the bedrooms and install hardwood floors to match the rest of the house. Miguel promised he could get the floors to look very similar in color (by adding a tint), and also match the extra glossy finish. He did neither of these, started putting furniture away and finishing the job. I had to stop them and call attention to the mismatched color and finish. I do believe it was partially a misunderstanding on their part, so they offered to put another coat of finish on, but it would require 1-2 more days. I declined because I did not want to extend the project (I had been sleeping in the house with all the fumes and I was very much looking forward to that ending). So I settled for the color and finish they did. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful floors! Just not the color and finish I asked for. read more

Diaz Flooring is truly a wonderful company. They are reliable, responsive, do amazing work, and are priced very fairly. We had them redo the hardwood floors in our entire house, as well as do all of our interior painting. Everything came out beautifully. HIGHLY recommend! read more

We are so impressed with Miguel and Diaz Hardwood! They completed 2000 sq feet in 3 weeks. They sectioned off my house so we could still live here and worked long hours. The job included removal of all my furniture, baseboards and carpet, taping and plastic barriers. Installation, staining and sealing and putting everything back. The guys were so polite and extra clean. They cleaned up their work site every night. This company is a gem and worth every penny!! Thank you Diaz Flooring! read more

Incredible floor installation and refinishing company. They do not miss any detail. Their team moved everything out of our house and covered it. They went right to work on the floors and created 10 different stain and top coat options on the sanded floor in taped off boxes for us to choose from...what an awesome asset for a homeowner. The first thing they did was to move the oven and refer out, completely finish that area and then move both of them back. They were here for an entire week, sanding, sealing, sanding and then applying the final 2 top coat layers. When it came time to move everything back into the house they put felt pads on the bottom of everything so the floor would not get scratched. Their crew was with us the entire time and did everything...extremely skilled. Miguel is a good communicator which is very valuable to relieve any stress that comes up, and he answers texts right away as well as calls. The kept the dust to a minimum and cleaned up very well. Available for contact. Jim Love jim@jimlove.us 5-16-2024 read more

This company is fantastic!!! They are responsive, timely, reasonably priced and their skill set is off the chart!

Dear Miguel, Thank you for refinishing our kitchen hardwood floor. Your team arrived on schedule, protected our open living layout from dust with sheets of plastic, and did the work in the time they promised. They returned for surface finish work as scheduled and did an amazing job! I'm especially surprised at the way they were able to remove the face places from our stove, dish washer, and refrigerator, and make the finish look as though all those things were removed and reinstalled. Thank you once again for your work. This is our second time doing business with you and we came back because of your excellent work and your honesty. We previously had carpet removed and hardwood floors installed throughout our upstairs. At that time we got three quotes. You told us that one of our floors that was already wood did not need replacing, only refinishing. The other two who quoted did not inform us of that possibility. In so doing you saved us hundreds of dollars. It is a pleasure doing business with you and the team! read more

Just had our 18+ year old bamboo floors in the kitchen and living room refinished by Miguel's crew, Johnny and Ben. These guys were top notch! We had planned to do this in March, but Covid postponed it until October. We are more than happy with the way they turned out and these guys did a great job with minimal clean up on our end. I've worked with many contractors in my working life, and I highly recommend them. read more

Miguel installed vinyl plank flooring in our living room and bedroom recently, and we are very happy with the installation and service in general. The crew showed up on time and finished on time, and that counts for a lot when working with a vacation rental. They did a great job with moving the furnishings, and then putting them back. When complete, the house was ready to rent again, no loose ends. read more

Hi everyone.........I am Leonard.....I just wanted to write this review about Diaz Hardwood Flooring, as I was so happy to have hired them to refinish my beautiful walnut floors. Not only were they on time, which I really appreciate with my precious schedule, but they visqueened ] everything to make certain that none of my personal items (including furniture) were disturbed. Also, because they used an oil base finish, the visqueen helped diminish the smells throughout my home, so I didn't have to rent a hotel room for a night. I appreciate their pleasant manner, and frankly, their caring to do a great job. Thank you guys for helping out!.... Leonard read more

In our opinion, Miguel did not do a good refinishing job & Miguel was not professional, like other reviewers have stated. We used Miguel to REFINISH oak hardwood floors in 2012. We had many neighbors came over who stated that the job looked bad & that poly was all over/ not cleaned off many non-floor areas. Neighbors also stated that the floors under the range & refrigerator were obviously not done. Teens/ Young Adults about 18-21 yrs old came to do the refinishing job. Poly was on the baseboards, cabinet toe kicks, brand new white cabinet doors and some of the room & closet doors. Miguel texted, stating when his crew would be done & that the key would be returned the last day of work to our neighbor or his son. Miguel didn't return the key on the agreed day. After the job was complete, Miguel invited a neighbor's contractor into our home without our knowledge or permission. We called Miguel about all the mess & undone flooring under the appliances. As other reviewers have stated, Miguel was cussing up a storm. Miguel claimed he was not responsible for moving anything & he was not responsible for cleaning any of the mess they left including the poly on baseboards, etc. When we asked Miguel if he invited anyone inside our house to view his crew's work, Miguel admitted that he did invite the neighbor's contractor inside our house after the job was finished, since that contractor was a colleague of Miguel's. My nanny & neighbors (5people), heard the entire call on speaker phone to act as witnesses. We ended up filing a police report/ incident in 2012 alleging various things. In the end, we got new locks for the house & we settled with Miguel by not paying Miguel the remaining balance. This review is not false. I would have to call SJ police to see if they have the report still available. My neighbors bore witness and were contacted by SJ Police department. If Yelp removes this review then I will see about getting the SJ Police Report. read more

Diaz Hardwood Flooring installed new floors in our house in Dec 2021. They did a great job. The floors and the stairs are beautiful, and everything's right down to the last detail. The whole project took three weeks, including removal of the old flooring. Mr. Diaz and and his workers always showed up on time, communication was great and everything was clean and organized. read more

Diaz did a fantastic job on my hardwood floors. Our house is 90 years old and I know for sure that the floors had not been refinished in at least 45 years (if ever). My first thought was to just cover with engineered wood but Diaz assured me that the original wood could be refurbished. This company was not the cheapest or the most expensive; in fact, almost right in the middle of other companies. The floors were stained which helped blend in previous old damage. They applied three different stain samples on the floor for me to chose from and talked me through the pros and con of each stain. Diaz also finished off with 4 coats of Bona oil base semi-gloss polyurethane. Diaz were easy to work with because they also had to coordinate with my painter - good team work. read more

Miguel Diaz returned my call quickly and within days came to the house to gave us a bid. He was very professional & wore a mask-unlike a different company rep that came over. The work began 3 days later & was done in a week by the same two guys who always wore masks. They even patched the floor where the old furnace had been. They masked off the room and there was hardly any dust anywhere. When it became clear that the floor needed to have a stain in order to even out the old floor's "personality", Miguel gave us great guidance. The floor looks great! Use this company with confidence. read more

Diaz Hardwood Floors - New red oak flooring - Flooring Near Me - Capitola, California

Professional , courteous, quick service. Repaired and refinished our 75 year old hardwood floors. Excellent work!

Diaz Floors came to my house to see my floors. I was impressed by their promptness and knowledge about hardwood floors. They explained every detail of the process and I was impressed! I was told I would receive a bid by the end of the week. When I didn't receive the bid, I followed up the following week with a text to ask when I would get the bid. I received no response. Three weeks after their initial visit to my home, I was called and I told that there had been a mixup and my paperwork had been misplaced. Within a few hours the bid was emailed to me. They followed up with a telephone call asking that I respond to them ASAP. Needless to say, I was disappointed and hesitant that there may be further miscommunication and I didn't want to take any chances. I must say, they were so nice and polite when they came to my house. However, as a result of the delay I chose another company that had a higher bid but were immediately responsive to my needs. read more

If the option were available to do negative stars, they would have been selected!! About a month and a half ago we had Miguel come to our home to provide a quote for wood refinishing. Two weeks later, my husband called him because we had not received the proposal. Miguel said he was busy but would get to it though committed to a project date start. No proposal was ever sent. Today, Miguel called stating he was ready to begin the the project tomorrow (mind you, he never sent the written proposal). My husband told him that nothing was scheduled as he had never bothered to send the proposal. Miguel began cussing. Using the F word plenty of times and further stating "I could sue you for this!" In between his F bombs. Miguel lacks professionalism and business ethics! I'm appalled by his behavior and are putting up for review so that everyone knows what type of business you are dealing with. read more
