Albert was excellent. He was quite patient to answer all our questions and give appropriate feedback. Gave a reasonable estimate, suggested good shops to choose material from, did an excellent job in removing the carpet and installing the laminate flooring efficiently, and followed up through completion. We were newbies and it was so easy to work with him. This guy is honest and dependable. We will recommend him to all our friends and neighbors who are impressed with the flooring work. read more

We were scared to have contractors in our house for weeks together to get our flooring done. It was such a pleasant surprise to work with Albert and Daniel. All done in the week that they had promised us! I highly recommend them..they do a very professional job and check with us every step to make sure they do what we want even if it means taking them back a step. My floors look so good and every time I see it, I feel very grateful to the team for making making the install so easy. Not to mention the happiness when walking on the lovely mahogany floors. Worth every penny! Unfortunately the store that we bought the hardwood from did not have a great measurer...he was way off by about 33% less than what was required. So we had to buy additional boxes... but it was a small price to pay for what the installation team did. read more

I have found Foreign Floors on yelp based on the reviews and Albert has been very responsive, patient and fast. He was explaining us different options and found him to be not biased to any floor. He gave us space we need for making decision and once we locked in the contract, he was quick. His crew were very professional and the work was done on time and with extreme precision and care. Albert followed up with us during and after the work was done and he made couple of visits to our house while the work is being done. read more

I give these guys a HUGE recommendation. They are efficient, professional, and very friendly. It's never convenient to be without a living room or kitchen, but when you hire these guys you can be assured they will do it as quickly and competently as possible. I was blown away by their speed but also the quality. They removed carpet and tile and installed solid hardwood prefinished. Amazing job!!! So good to know I now I have quality floor guys I can count on! read more

Needed to post this review two months ago...Daniel & his team did stone work around my kitchen island and it came out perfect! Fast & friendly service...what more can a person ask for...Thanks Foreign Floors! read more

Albert and his team did a great job installing our new hardwood floors throughout our house. He was very responsive to our requests, flexible with his schedule, showed up as promised and completed his work on time. His prices are good and we highly recommend him. read more

I used foreign floors to refinish my flooring at my new home. Albert and his crew did a fantastic job and the project couldn't have finished smoother. I was also pleasantly surprised when the work was finished earlier than expected. I would definitely recommend foreign floors. read more

This is one of the best businesses I have ever worked with. Albert and Danil are responsive, fast, efficient and fair -- and the output was perfect. We went with a white french oak on the stairs and second floor -- and it looks fantastic! We get tons of compliments. A few highlights: 1. Easy to work with -- I talked with Albert for literally three years about redoing my floors, and through it all he was responsive and helpful. He was willing to work with me however I wanted (buy the wood from him, buy elsewhere and have him install, etc.). He never rushed me or got frustrated, even though I changed my mind and went dark multiple times! 2. Put me first -- I always had the sense that Albert was 100% committed to making sure I was happy with the job. I had a hard time deciding what wood I wanted, and he was very patient as I explored the options. I even changed my mind after purchasing some hickory, and he worked with me to change the order right away -- no issue. 3. Efficient and effective -- Finally, Albert and his team did a great job installing the floors and new baseboards! The team was professional and fast, the wood is even with no gaps or creaky boards. I am really happy with it. Foreign Floors did a great job on our project -- I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Daniel, Albert and their team, I highly recommend for flooring needs. The quality of their work is exemplary. In our two-story house they completely replaced our carpets/tiles/Vinyl with wood and tiles. They helped us with valuable suggestions, in selecting the wood/tiles/bullnoses/baseboards and also several choice of places to buy them from. They remodeled our fireplace and entertainment center and made it look really nice. We have added new things as the project went on, they patiently did a great job. They first came to our house on a Saturday evening for the estimate and we were so impressed with them and gave them the project to start on Monday morning and we are very happy with our decision. They are detail-oriented and patient during the finishing of the project which is something not easy to find. Their prices are reasonable and it is easy to work with them. Customer satisfaction is their #1 priority. While other contractors we spoke to said they cannot replace the carpet under closet shelves without probably damaging the shelves, these guys did a professional work by installing wood with the closet shelves being as sturdy as they were before. They also did quality staircase wood work. They painted all the baseboards and replaced all bath faucets and took care of the construction cleaning and hauling. When we faced some unexpected challenges like floor was damaged next to an upstairs bathroom, they replaced the wood with reasonable additional quote. Their prices are not only reasonable and also when unexpected things add up they will still quote reasonable price. Other contractors might rip you off there. These guys are knowledgeable in what they do, very friendly and have great attitude. Overall we are extremely impressed with all aspects of the project. These guys deserve more than 5 stars! If you are looking for contractors for similar project, Just give them a call without any hesitation. read more

My girlfriend and I recently found a new place in South San Jose. The owner took impeccable care of the property but my girlfriend wanted to put her... I mean.... "our" stamp on the place with some interior remodeling. As such, we looked to install gray luxury vinyl to layer over the tile that was originally installed. After receiving several vendor's estimates, we selected Foreign Floors for their online reviews and pricing. In turn, we were introduced to the dynamic duo of Daniil (with two i's), who takes care of the business/admin/scheduling decisions and Sam, who handles all the heavy lifting. Together, they worked with a flooring supplier we found to pickup, deliver, and vinyl-ize our 400 sq ft joint kitchen/family room, all within budget. Both men were able to answer all our questions and, in their busy busy schedules, found time to take care of any follow-up flooring requests we had. To say nothing else: we were floored! read more

Daniel and team were very responsive through the whole process of selecting the flooring choices and working with our HOA timelines.

You wouldn't know it based on their young appearance, but Albert and his partner Daniel are really amazing experienced hardwood floor installers. They did such a great job on our tricky project which required a lot of foresight and planning, measuring and re-measuring. They were totally open to our new ideas. We had them do an install of about 1500 sq feet of flooring + stairs + wood panel wall leading from the floor up to the stairway wall to conceal a hidden door under the stairs + a built-in bench with storage. They also are very attentive of making sure planks are not lined up the same way each time (Not sure how to explain this but you don't want there to be two plank ends to be near each other). We used MAMRE flooring (which are great), and were really picky on which planks went where. Prior to their arrival, I spent the weekend opening up all of the flooring to sort the planks. I wanted the main living area to be free of knots since I was going for a modern look, and sorted the wood planks with more knots to use in the closet or under the kitchen cabinets, etc. Albert and Daniel were both super accommodating. They were attentive to minimizing waste as well. Furthermore, they're very careful and clean, easy to communicate with, and friendly hardworking guys. The result is beautiful and I highly recommend them. I can't wait to share photos once our house construction is done and we can remove the protective red paper. I know that every time I walk on these floors I'll appreciate all of the hard work these guys put in to it. read more

Amazing! Albert and his team are amazing! He came all the way down to L.A. from Silicone Valley just to do our clients space. They did 7,500 square feet is less time than anyone else quoted us. The floors are perfect quality and match the color swatches throughout the home. Thanks you guys! Looking forward to working with Foreign Floors again. ASAP. read more

Regardless of the few hiccup we faced during the installation of our hardwood floors; Daniel & his team did a superb job finishing the project. We are very pleased with the result & impressed with Daniel's professionalism. read more

Daniel and Sam were very good. They were able to start my flooring project sooner than expected (thanks to a rescheduling from another customer). They removed the old carpets and linoleum on day 1 and started the laminate installation the next day. Daniel was proactive is educating us about a problem with a luxury vinyl tile we had purchased for the bathrooms and we were able to return the material and purchased a different style from another manufacturer. Thanks to this, we avoided what could have been an extensive repair in the months to come. They installed laminate in the living, dining, kitchen, stairwells and hallways. Good work, on time delivery and very pleasant to work with. Sam did most of the work. read more

If I could give -5 stars I would. Daniel came to my house on Feb 10, it is now February 16 and no quote even though they have my contact info and even though I sent email, called and requested via Yelp message. So much for the supposed fabulous reviews! read more

Albert is very efficient and on time. He is willing do whatever you need and works with you to make sure you are happy with the results. He also gives advice and solutions to make the job turn out the way you want it so your satisfied. He installed some variable width Laminated hardwood floors for my sunroom which turned out great. . Looks very professional and would definitely recommend. read more

Albert and his team are clean, efficient, and reasonable. Nice people to work with and they don't nickel and dime you on the small things. They gave me good advice in installing a thin plywood on top of the 30+ year old subfloor so the floor would not creak...I spent a lot of money on the hardwood floors, and I want it to last, so they did it quickly and relatively inexpensively. Most contractors would have ripped the client off but they give honest advice. read more

Start to finish it was a 5 star experience working with Albert. He gave an accurate estimate, was always on time and finished the job with great quality. He even showed up for just an hour to re-install mouldings after I changed my mind about what I wanted. I'll be calling Albert again for our next project for sure! read more

Albert did an incredible job installing our new floors. He came out to measure our house and gave us an estimate right away. We had other contractors giving us the bid, but Albert did beat up their prices. Delivery, moving furniture and installation process was very careful. Albert and his team did an amazing job and we would like to recommend him to anybody who is looking for flooring installers in the Bay Area. read more

Albert came recommended to us from the owner of the store where we bought our hardwood. He promptly came out to measure our house to help order the correct quantity of wood. As soon as the wood arrived and acclimated to the house, Albert and crew started their work. It was not an easy job by any means..part of our house is on slab and part of it is on crawl space. The slab portion was not quite uneven. They first evened everything out and then glued down the wood with great precision. They did a clean job with seamless tiling of all the wood pieces. They also installed thresholds and stair nosing for us...leaving everything looking beautiful. One important thing to mention is that Albert is very very responsive. We were not easy customers...and had to call him back a few times to install base boards in different rooms, clean up dried glue and one time he came out and replaced a plank in the center of our kitchen just because my wife thought it didn't match the rest of the wood very well! He did everything with a smile and with a lot of precision! I've already recommended Albert to another friend and would have no hesitation recommending him to everyone else as well. A great testimonial is that even my general contractor, who has been in the business for a long time thought Albert's work was as good as any that he's seen! read more

The hardwords floors in our house was damaged by refrigerator water leaking and the water damage control company left a mess by yanking out only part of them and make the restoration difficult. Not many hardwood floor installations know how to deal with a half done floor. Fortunately we found Foreign Floors. Albert and Andreas did an outstanding job by carefully carving out piece-by-piece the hardwoods near the border along the remained good floors and those that are taken out and laid the new floors to make it seamless connected to the remained good hardwood floors. We have made numerous suggestions for change during installation and Albert and Andreas took all our suggestions and made corrections on the way. After Albert and team left we have a hardwood floor as good as before and it just feels like water damage never happened, not mentioning saving us money and hassles from installing the whole floor that would require us to pack and move a lot more stuffs in the house. I would definitely recommend Albert and team to anyone looking for doing hardwood floors. read more
