    Apartment rooms

    I've used Luis for four apartment turnover "buff and coat" on the hardwood floors. Currently he charges $2sf so there is no mystery about the price. I've never met him in person. I found him on thumb track, and have kept his contact number. He goes right in, and gets the job done, sends me photos, and since I trust him, at this point, send the $$ via venmo. It always looks great when I go see. He usually gets the job done within a few days of my request. It's so nice working with tradesmen you can count on, that charges a reasonable rate.

    Master bedroom

    I had Luis replace the flooring that was currently in the master bedroom with Laminate. He provided the quote and once he was picked, he was ready the next day. He even finished the job within a day. I asked him to pick up the materials and remove and dispose of the old carpet. From here on out, he's my guy for laminate work. You definitely get what you pay for.

    Before - dingy old carpet, tile, and linoleum

    Highly recommended for flooring installation! Luis responded promptly to my quote request, showed up when he said he would, and gave me a thorough walk-through of the job, providing a lot of details. He followed up with a quote the same day, and started the next week, even a day sooner than I'd asked. He and Enrique showed up on time and ready to work, they did the demo in a half day, then came back and installed the flooring and baseboards in 1 day. I had about 800 sq ft of LVP put in, they removed all the old carpet, hard tile, and linoleum. They did a really nice job - a lot of attention to detail, nothing damaged, and they cleaned everything up great. They moved furniture and appliances; I just tried to remove smaller items and take things off shelves to make it easier for them. His quote was about the same as others, even a bit lower than some, and I feel I got good value for my money. And they're very nice and smart guys. They listened to me and addressed all my concerns about particular things.

    Just exactly what we wanted (night view under artificial lighting)!

    Selecting and trusting someone to refinish your hardwood floor is hard. The devil is in the detail. Luis was very knowledgeable and explained clearly all the steps and options available to us. From understanding the type of wood we have (and associated tone it has) to selecting a stain (and if it was or not necessarily) or choosing between regular vs commercial finish... Luis was very helpful. We understood everything before making our decision. Most importantly, Luis masters how it's going to render at the end (not easy as the result when wet is very different from the result when fully dried/cured). Luis is very kind and patient (oh yes he was). Pricing is very competitive and Luis took care of everything: from getting all the furniture/appliances... off the floor, covering/protecting what couldn't be moved, removing the old vents... to restoring the house as it was before. The only thing that I should have done differently was to move out upright piano by specialized movers as it was not fair on Luis. It's very heavy. But Luis managed it perfectly. We would recommend Luis in a heartbeat. We are very particular. The result was exactly was we where expecting: the color we wanted (very hard to tune down the pink of red wood), the shine we wanted. We did 2/3 of our house that included the living space minus the rooms. We asked Luis to also take care of the rooms in a later phase.

    My mom and I came to All About Floors after shopping all around Solano County for new carpet. We…read morelooked at everything from the big-box retailers to several other local businesses, but Ulysses and his team stood out from the rest. This business came highly recommended to us, and after our experience, it is easy to see why they have such a stellar reputation. From the start, Ulysses was incredible. He helped us find a choice that met all our expectations for color, plushness, and ease of maintenance. He even allowed us to bring samples home to ensure they were exactly what we were looking for. His responsiveness was unbeatable; while other vendors (both big and local) said they'd check in "next week" for a measurement, Ulysses offered to be there in just a few hours! His character and professionalism really sold us on supporting his local business. After speaking with him about our circumstances, he offered a very competitive quote that we were happy to accept. Since they are local, you really feel that personal, residential touch. When the shipment arrived, they were quick to schedule an installation date that worked for my family. They moved our furniture and belongings with such care and finished the job with ease. We are so grateful for their help with our downstairs living space. It feels great to support a local family-run business that truly delivers better, more personal service than the "big guys." We look forward to working with them again for our upstairs! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL ABOUT FLOORS!!!

When Ulysses arrived to provide an estimate, he brought additional samples, which we were delighted to see. The selection is simply gorgeous and amazing! Our living room had old, worn-out carpet, and the new hard floor complements the adjacent family room perfectly. One thing we wish we had known earlier was to cover our furniture and the rooms next door to prevent dust from circulating throughout the house. Ulysses's team, Rick and Francisco, were professional, punctual, and experts in their field. They truly deserve major kudos! I relax and enjoy my new living room. I highly recommend that others compare different companies, conduct thorough research, and consider patronizing a local business like All About Floors.

We were impressed with Flavia's knowledge and professionalism when she came to review the project for the estimate. She asked questions to understand our needs and wants. She patiently listened and answers our questions. During the installation, Flavia came out a few times to ensure everything was going well. She also helped find just the right transition pieces to work with the existing flooring outside the baths. The installation was a two day process. It went very smoothly and was handled in a way that caused the least amount of disruption for us. Our installer was skilled and did a great job not only with the tile, but with new baseboard and a new toilet installation in one of the baths. He was great to work with. Flavia came out one last time after the installation to ensure everything was good and that we were happy with the result. Pro Floors' cost estimate was in the middle of the three estimates we received. But, our choice was based more on our experience during the initial visit than anything else. We were not disappointed. We are very happy with the quality work and service we received, and definitely got our money's worth.

The quote process was efficient and painless. The installation team was courteous and conscientious. They made the removal of old carpet and tile painless - it was all gone in 1 morning, ready for new wood floor installation. They were able to put floor balancing material and moisture barrier the same day. They worked with us on a tricky moulding situation in our kitchen that allowed us to have a seemless look throughout our home. In one day, the team was able to install all the floors and baseboards with amazing speed - moving our washer and dryer (and replacing it too!). The final product was PERFECTLY installed. The quote matched the payment and we are very satisfied with the price and end product. We highly recommend the entire team at Pro Floors.

    This company is all sales and no service…read more After spending approximately $20,000 on new carpeting for my home, customer service completely disappeared once payment was made. Before the sale, the team was attentive and responsive. After installation? Silence. Immediately following installation, two interior doors began dragging on the brand-new carpet, a problem that should never occur after a professional installation. Although a technician was sent out to shave the doors, one door still drags, putting unnecessary wear and damage on a carpet I just paid a small fortune for. Worse, the primary bedroom door lock has not worked at all since installation and will no longer lock. This is a basic functionality issue and a clear quality failure. Despite three written emails and multiple phone calls, beginning December 16, 2025, there has been zero follow-up and zero resolution. As of January 10, 2026, these problems remain unresolved, despite repeated requests and more than enough time to address them. The lack of accountability, communication, and post-installation support is unacceptable--especially for a high-dollar project. If you're considering this company, be aware: they are responsive until they get your money, and then you are on your own. I regret choosing them and would not recommend them to anyone who expects follow-through.
