    Cracks in vinyl plank

    Oves, would you like to explain why our laminate floors were installed directly on our concrete foundation without a moisture barrier? Is this how you install flooring? Or was this just a step you skipped in our home? This is a basic and necessary step in any floor installation. Our floors which should have lasted 15-20 years lasted less than 3 years due to warping, peeling cracking from the lack of a barrier between the foundation and the floors. This was something that was not visible to us so we were unaware at the time of installation. Our flooring was a huge expense for our little family. And because Oves and his crew cut a very basic/important step our floors are ruined throughout our entire house. Disappointing and disgraceful ser

    To be repaired above. After the work you cannot see where the repair was done.

    Great work, quick appointment turnaround, great communication, competitive bid, excellent craftsmanship. Loved Ove's banter and pics of his cat. Very personable. I was a little worried about finding someone to repair water damage on my hardwood floor since it wasn't a big flooring project but it had to get done as it was right in the entry way where the floor had buckled up. You cannot even see where the repair was done. Amazing work. The guys worked so hard on this and it shows. Would use them again and highly recommend.

    Oves and team did a remarkable job with the our flooring. Him and his team were responsive and honest throughout the process

    After!

    Fantastic experience! Ove was able to check out my floor and give me a quote within 24 hours of me sending a message via Yelp. Four days later his team is there to repair, stain and refinish our master bedroom. His crew was awesome. Friendly, polite, worked their butts off! Job was expected to take two days and they got it done in one. I keep walking into the room to admire the floor. It's the original hardwood from when the house was built in 1960. So, so glad we reached out to the Flooring & Refinishing Guru instead of moving forward with my original plan (installing LVP over the hardwood). Money well spent, for sure.

    Oves and Oscar are very professional. They listen and make sure you are happy. Attentive to details and great quality of finishing. The value of service compared to quality is very competitive. I totally recommend them.

    Oves and Flooring and Refinishing Guru delivered one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a contractor--unprofessional, dishonest, and completely negligent. The workmanship was trash, with uneven tile finishes and clear signs of corner-cutting. Oves ignored repeated calls and messages once problems arose, showing zero accountability. He made promises he didn't keep, misrepresented critical aspects of the tile renovation project, and left my home in worse condition than before he started. The situation was so egregious it resulted in a lawsuit--something no homeowner should have to pursue just to get basic standards met. I would never recommend this company to anyone. He didn't even come to the lawsuit which resulted in him losing. What kind of a business owner does that? See for yourself, here is the image of the lawsuit.

    Oves is truly the flooring guru! I needed some damaged laminate flooring panels replaced ASAP after another business flaked out on me. Oves took my call in the evening, showed up the next day for an estimate, and had his guys come out and do the work the next morning. Oves has excellent communication, is friendly, and has a sense of humor to top it off. I tried to be proactive and purchased the materials ahead of the job, but I ended up buying a slightly different size than what was needed (ouch). Oves reassured me they would be able to work with the materials I got, and pulled off some guru magic lol. The floors look amazing now and back to tip top shape! I thought the estimate he gave me was a bit high at first, but considering the work they did, its fully understandable. Highly recommended!

    Oves and his Floor Guru company refinished our classic European wood floor. Was looking terrible and not been done in 15 years. Now the floor is beautiful thanks to Floor Guru. Floor Guru was able to get the exact look we sought, in color, tone and shade. We got a fair price and great value from Floor Guru. Oves provides wonderful advice and is very knowledgeable in many home refurbishment and remodeling aspects. We will seek Oves help on more, including Kitchen Cabinets. Floor Guru, work men showed up when expected, were professional, friendly and very helpful. They did their work well over two days. They were careful and tidy. We waited a day, then put furniture back. The refinishing has held up well and looks great. I fully recommend working with Floor Guru and enjoy interacting with Oves. He knows his stuff and makes it easy.

    Termite damage

    We had laminate flooring that was eaten by termites and Oves and his team did a fantastic job in using the very little amount of spare pieces we had to make our flooring look new and save us a lot of money.

    He scheduled me monday today for 2pm then cancelled me on the spot! Wth! I cancelled all my clients this afternoon just to accommodate him and now he cancelled me! Very unprofessional! Dont use them!! He gave me a quote last week and we confirmed monday 2pm. He wanted a deposit zelle $100 i told him im gonna pay incash he said ok he needs $600 On Monday and the rest upon completion. i said yes thats fine. Then i texted him over the weekend that i just saw that his quote was labor only! Not including materials he didnt disclosed this wen we talked over the fone. So i told him I didn't realize the quote did not include materials. I asked about questions of other possible ways to fix my shower floor, he did not reply. This was over the weekend. He was NO response at all ZERO. And then today he told me that I texted him about my inquiry and assumed right away that I did not want the service even though I texted him I will see them on Monday AND WE HAD LOCKED THIS IN. I don't have an issue buying the materials but him not communicating about it He's very unprofessional. He ruined basically my whole day today in the afternoon. I canceled my afternoon job just for him. Poor communication purely business for him.

    Loving my new floor! Changes the whole look.

    I found the company based on YELP reviews and couldn't be happier. I'd been wanting new floors since I moved in 10 years ago. The house was built in 1938 and had the original hardwood. While in good shape, it was not the look I wanted. I was torn between refinishing it or going with luxury vinyl. After speaking with Oves, I went with the vinyl, which also matched perfectly with my bathroom floor that I changed a couple of years ago. I called Oves on Sunday morning, he came out to give me a quote the same day and the job was done the next Thursday. Danny and Polo came out to do the work and they are incredibly efficient. They came in and went straight to work. I was able to leave some of the heavier pieces of furniture but made sure to do my part, getting as much as I could out of their way. They cleaned as they worked and cleaned when they were done. They even helped me move a few pieces of furniture back into place. They were so warm and friendly and seemed to have a good time working together. There was a minor hiccup with my front door not closing properly (its an old house with odd angles) but Danny came back the same evening to look at it. He ended up coming back a few days later to make sure the job was done right. He was so thoughtful and wanted to make sure I was happy. I was undecided about changing the flooring in my kitchen and Oves was candid in his thoughts. He could have easily told me to change it and make some more money off me but he didn't do that. Oves is easy to communicate with, very professional and has a sense of humor. I'd use this company again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them!!

    My home improvement took another notch higher with the service rendered by Oves and his staff. I have some minor water damage in our newly replaced kitchen flooring and I called Oves about my concern. Without any hesitation he gladly told me that he will send his staff to take.care of my flooring. His staff also assisted me in moving my old refrigerator to our garage in time for the arrival of my our new LG InstaView French Door Ref. Job well done Oves!!!

Large selection of products and knowledgeable associates asked about what I was looking for and what would work best for me. The manager came out to measure and discuss how the work would be done and go over possible additional charges based on my existing flooring. He provided a quote in a very timely manner and we scheduled the date! They assigned a two man team who showed up promptly on time each morning. The installers were amazing. They took such care in my home and were so respectful and efficient! They assisted with some installation questions I had and got right to work. They were so careful moving my furniture around and I was so touched that they made sure my bed area was cleared at the end of their upstairs workdays so I didn't have to sleep on the couch. They used plastic sheeting to mask off closet and bathroom contents to keep the dust down as much as possible due to the floor leveling process. They set up shop in my garage and at the end of each of the 5 days tidied the work spaces and swept up the garage very thoroughly. F and L..... thank you so much. I know I said it a lot but I really love the excellent job you did! I am so happy with the outcome. I love my floors and give OC Hardwood the highest praise possible!!! My neighbors and friends love the floors and I'm glad I grabbed a couple of business cards because they've been given away to interested parties! My two favorite comments.... What kind of wood is this? LVP!! This looks like House and Gardens TV! My previous cat had passed away November 2025 and I knew I wanted to have the flooring redone before adopting another. They finished on a Friday afternoon and I was able to adopt a rescue cat 2 days later. I do recommend boarding any pets as the work would be quite frightening to them. This was a big deal for me... I am extremely picky and felt such confidence in F and L as consummate professionals as the work progressed. Thank you OC Hardwood! You made my flooring dream come true!!

We did feel 12 bags of self leveling concrete was excessive when it looked like it was only used on a few corners of the room in a job less than 900 sq feet. Unfortunately one of the stair nosing broke within a couple weeks of install. Rafi was responsive in redoing the stairs stating it was a manufacturing defect and that the new version is stronger. Unfortunately the second team quality of work was very poor. They left holes in our walls that were patched poorly with plaster. Worst of all the stairs were apparently nailed to the subfloor and after a few weeks they started to rise leaving little holes and nails protruding from the floor. A few of the stair noses are loose as well. At this point, Rafi became unresponsive to have the flooring fixed. We ended up getting some of our money back through our credit card after months went by but the majority of the payment was by check. Basically we will need to replace the stairs again on our own dime. Buyer beware! Lifetime warranty doesn't mean anything if the installer ghosts you.

Scheduling was simple and straightforward, communication was clear, and everything moved along smoothly. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and delivered a floor that looks fantastic. I'd say I'm about 99% satisfied -- there were just a couple of small corner areas that weren't completely perfect, but they're minor details and don't take away from the overall excellent job. Overall, I'm very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their garage floor. Tips: Consider if you want to patch any holes, touch up paint, or any other work that might be beneficial while your garage is empty for the epoxy service. If you pay cash it's a little cheaper. You have to wait a full 48 hours before you can park on the floors. There is a very strong smell afterwords so make sure to air it out and keep your garage door to the house closed until the smell dissipates.
