Robert E.

I highly recommend Geary Floors! My wife and I had a great experience working with Tad. He is super knowledgeable (and patient for putting up with my endless questions!). Tad was also very flexible when we needed to reschedule last minute because of things I needed to deal with at work. On the day the work started, everyone was on time and took the time to walk the entire downstairs so we were on the same page for everything. Jose was great, he made sure we walked through every room and made sure they knew exactly what we wanted. Robert was very nice and helpful with moving away the demo'd flooring and arranging the delivery of the new floor. Carlos was our main point of contact each day. I was away for work but Carlos met with my wife each day to show her the progress and tell her the plans for the next day. They stayed late a couple nights (after asking if we were OK with it) to make sure that they finished the project in five days. And when they finished, they really cleaned up everything nicely- so much so that my wife commented that we didn't even need to swiffer the floors. Again, it was a great experience start to finish. The floors look great- excellent craftsmanship! We will definitely choose Geary Floors again when we are ready for our next flooring project.

Very impressed with their response and quality of service. Tad led the way with full explanation and follow up. They gave us a date and was there as promised. Our 25 year oak floor was refinished perfectly and looks like a basketball court. Dominic and Eduardo was great to work with. Always respectful, clean and was always on time. We had to live without our downstairs for a week, but their work ethic made it easier to live with. I'm in the contracting business, and will call them on the next opportunity.

This is the master bedroom there was an addition and very unlevel between the two floors

We hired Geary floors to level our cement foundation. We had two additions and the floors needed an extreme amount of sanding and leveling to prepare them for our dream wood floors. The preparation was tough clearing it out and we braced for the mess. John and Eduardo made the process so much better than expected. The first thing that impressed us is that they came on time. We've had so many contractors and that's one thing that usually never happens. They covered our kitchen cabinets even though we told them we would be replacing. What was wonderful was that the dust was kept under control and they cleaned up every day. They finished in three days. They worked through extreme heat. I was very impressed. I will be hiring the company to actually do my wood floors. Had a great experience. Thank you Geary floors, John and Eduardo.

Living room prep

We recently had Sean Geary & his amazing team refinish original douglas fir & white oak floors in our 99 year old La Mesa Craftsman home. Sean came recommended & exceeded our expectations in every way! From initial contact to final payment... Sean & Team were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, caring & genuine throughout each phase of our project. Very thankful for referral & reasonable pricing! I can't say enough about Humberto & Sam's work ethic, attention to detail, passion & commitment to excellence....truly exceptional craftsmanship! We had several defective planks which required replacement. They effectively dealt with every challenge presented to them & more importantly, took the time necessary to ensure our floors were refinished correctly! We highly recommend Geary Floors. Sean & Team are true floor replacement & refinish rockstars!!!

Beautiful results. Very easy to work with. Punctual, professional, good communication, excellent price. Highly recommend!

a set of wooden stairs

This review is almost two months late, but better late than never than never. We chose Geary floors to replace 2200 sq ft of carpet and tile with unfinished engineered wood, sanded and stained to perfection. Before selecting Geary floors, I searched yelp and found they had great reviews. Then I found them recommended more than once on my neighborhood discussion forum. Finally a good friend swore she had the best floor guy, turned out to be Geary Floors! Of the bids we got, Geary was not the lowest and not the highest but in between. I appreciated the bid was specific with which products would be used. We ended up having a leak with delayed our plans, and almost 1 year later Geary Floors still honored their bid. Carlos was our lead, along with Brian, and both were fantastic. Jose and Rudolpho worked tirelessly as well. These guys showed up on time, everyday, and worked hard. Very little time was wasted. We were aiming to finish our floors before thanksgiving, and crew even put in some weekend hours trying to make that happen. As we've settle back in and cleaned up the dust, we are thoroughly enjoying our new floors. I made some mistakes during our remodel but going with Geary for our floors was one of my best decisions.

Last year I wanted to replace my tile, carpet and partial engineered floor downstairs with laminate…read moreflooring. I received several bids and ended up going with Frank and his team because of great service and a competitive bid. They did a great job and I decided to use them again this year to complete my entire upstairs. Frank is no longer there and I'm working with Chris this time. I highly recommend them because the floors look great!

Seamless carpet buying & installation experience. Went with Abbey Carpet & Floors after surveying…read moremuch of Miramar - they ended up with the best pricing per square yard on material and installation. Ordering was fairly straightforward and they were transparent about delivery times & scheduling the install. No upsells or weird sales tactics - just materials & labor at a straightforward price. Installation was superb. Frank(?) and his sons came to install most of it, and we were especially thankful they were thorough with eliminating squeaks in the underlying floorboards (when they could). The overall quality of the job was great. At no extra charge to us, they replaced the noses of our stairs since they found them a bit weak & squeaky once they took the old carpet off. Happy with the Mohawk SmartCushion underlayment as well - I don't think we had a choice here but feeling it now with our Fabrica carpet, it's great. Highly recommended for a seamless, straightforward experience!

Yes they have a great selection of flooring and their employees are very friendly, but there were…read moretoo many errors to recommend this company. First, I was recommended by the flooring contractor, who said they would get me the contractor price, which I was told when I purchased from Rayo. As it turns out, the "contractor price" was just their normal price, which I verified by calling and asking for the price. Secondly, they screwed up my underlayment order, giving me a lower-quality underlayment that I thankfully caught before the contractor installed it. This may have had the consequence of needing the flooring to be ripped out and underlayment replaced due to HOA rules of minimum sound abatement quality. And third, they couldn't find a flooring piece and told my contractor it was located at a different store, sending them from this location to Clairmont during rush hour. The piece was actually at this location, but they didn't even try looking for it. This delayed my project two days. Overall, they are untruthful and seem to be careless and unprofessional.

I would like to start out by saying, yes, they have flooring at a reasonable price. That's about…read morethe end of the positive things I have to say. All businesses are customer service businesses. - The company received payment information -- collected with pen and paper in person -- and ran the payment card. No email confirmation, no call confirmation, no receipt of any sort. - The flooring we ordered was in stock for a week before we were notified that the flooring was in stock. - When we checked on whether our flooring was in stock, we were notified that it was and that it was waiting at their Kearny Mesa facility. - When our contractors arrived to pick up the flooring from Kearny Mesa, they were told that, no, the flooring was still at the Lakeside warehouse. This feels like information that anyone should have at their fingertips. - After picking up the flooring from the Lakeside warehouse -- now two weeks later and in a different location -- we were notified on the day of installation that the flooring NEEDS TO REST AND ACCLIMATE TO THE ROOM FOR 72 HOURS prior to installing. We are aware that, perhaps, our contractor should have known about the requirements of this brand and type of flooring. I'll allow this one point. Our project moved back a full week, and then moved back again, another full week. I understand: maybe it isn't that big of a deal to sell flooring. Maybe it isn't brain surgery. Well, I'm having surgery next week. And now our floors will be put in around those constraints. So maybe, just maybe, customer service -- even without a smile, even just doing the bare minimum of a job, like letting people know that the product they purchased is in stock and, I don't know, maybe the location of where that product could be picked up from -- is still very important. It might not be surgery to you, but it could be surgery for someone else. Would never recommend. Systems are in shambles. Operational disaster. Communication gap after communication gap after misinformation. Do something.
