[[HIGHLIGHT]]Needed some floor repair done quickly and these guys came through on short notice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were honest about the issue, found a way to repair the damaged section without trying to upsell me on replacing all the flooring, and even gave me a discounted price. The repair came out great and blends in really well with the existing floor. Super professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Really appreciate the honesty and quality work. read more

We had engineered wood floors installed in our home about three months ago by the GSE Flooring team, and the entire experience was excellent. They removed the existing carpet, carefully moved our furniture, and completed installation in our 1,500 sq. ft., single-story home - including an additional protective coating - in under a week. We obtained multiple quotes beforehand, and GSE offered the best value for the quality of work provided. Samvel managed the project exceptionally well. He was present at key moments to ensure everything was completed correctly and to our satisfaction. The crew was professional, punctual, and thorough. They cleaned up at the end of each day, protected our walls and furniture from damage, and the work required no re-do or correction. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When one board became slightly loose a few days later, Samvel personally came back and fixed it promptly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We are very happy with the results and continue to enjoy our new floors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As first-timers in this process, we also appreciated Samvel's guidance in selecting the right materials and installation approach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We highly recommend GSE Flooring for their quality, professionalism, and excellent value. read more

It's been a year and a half since Samvel's team removed the carpet and refinished the floors and they still look amazing. The pictures are the refinished floors from our 1960s home. They patched places where there was damage perfectly. You can't tell the difference between the new boards and the 60 year old boards. The also replace the floorboards. They were quick, clean, and very courteous . I would use them again. read more

Samvel did an awesome job on July 30,2025. We didn't have a big budget and went with sanding our hand-scraped floors, with the understanding that the finish would come out smooth which was a great solution for us. The high-quality work was done efficiently and thoroughly. Highly recommend. read more

We reached out to several service providers for quotes and ultimately chose GSE. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner provided a free quote and conducted himself professionally--he was honest, responsive, and straightforward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While their pricing wasn't the lowest, it was reasonable and competitive. The project took slightly longer than initially planned, but the quality of work was excellent, and we're very satisfied with the results. I appreciated their professionalism, especially their attention to detail. They took precautions to minimize dust by using protective covers and even identified and fixed a leveling issue we hadn't noticed. Overall, we had a great experience with GSE and highly recommend their services. Thank you! read more

The other 2-star reviews are telling the truth. Unfortunately I experienced something similar. They weren't the cheapest option so I was hoping the higher price meant more attention to detail, but no. The floor itself was done well and timely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Samvel was responsive to texts and accommodating so I was not expecting what ensued and I am disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was going well until I walked in and saw my vacant unit was messier than when I left it. Lots of dust which was understandable but the toilets had splashes of urine, the sinks in the bathroom and kitchen were super dirty, the mirrors in the bathrooms had water splashes, and worst of all my cabinets were splashed with cement that was used to level the floor. Thankfully the cement came off after some scraping but I dont understand why tarps or plastic werent used to cover the cabinets - painters know to use tarps so whats the difference? Would probably help with keeping the dust off too. I contacted Samvel calmly stating I understood that there would be dust and workers of course would have to use the restroom and sink - that's not the problem. The problem is leaving the place worse than how you found it. He responded that they're not a cleaning company which ok... but common courtesy is to at least clean up after yourself + if you work with cement to be careful, no? I was hopeful for better service given all the great reviews so this was disappointing. If you use them, carefully supervise and ask if they'll clean up after themselves or if that's an extra charge... read more

I didn't end up going with this vendor only because I was up against time! They were so professional, got to me right away and their pricing was so fair!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A company I would have said yes to had I had more time!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their 5 star reviews are much deserved. Thank you! read more

Main guy is great, attention to detail is high. The problem is the other workers. We had a ton of adhesive residue left on the hardwood floors even after they "cleaned up". We were not satisfied. read more

GSE did a stellar job. We had a bedroom and a bathroom that had cat urine stains. I was worried that if we only got those rooms done that it wouldn't match the rest of the hardwood in the house. They said because of the dividing perpendicular plank in each doorway, any variation would be less noticeable. Well, it looks fabulous. They replaced the damaged planks and did a couple sample spots to choose the stain to match the existing finish. They were courteous about covering the cabinets to protect them from dust. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The workers arrived exactly on time each day and were polite and skilled workmen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely use this company again for any flooring needs. read more

Title: Exceptional Flooring Services Exceeding Expectations I am writing this review to express my utmost satisfaction and appreciation for GSE Flooring and their exceptional team member, Sam. They recently assisted in repairing and upgrading my home's flooring, which had unfortunately been subjected to extensive water damage due to a dishwasher leak. The issue had caused significant deterioration to my wooden floors, which were not just rotten but also alarmingly uneven. A task as complex and potentially problematic as this required a high degree of professionalism and expertise, and I am glad to say GSE Flooring exceeded my expectations. Sam and his team stood out, showing an impressive level of diligence and skill. They started by addressing the rotten sections of the flooring, meticulously removing the damaged materials, and ensuring the remaining structure was sound and ready for improvement. Their thorough preparation phase allowed for a smooth transition into the flooring installation. What amazed me was their efficiency in tackling the problem of the uneven floor. The team, equipped with the right tools and the correct techniques, made it seem effortless. In reality, I know it requires tremendous knowledge and experience. Thanks to their excellent craftsmanship, my floors are now not only structurally sound but also beautifully level. Moreover, they managed to install exquisite new tiles that have drastically improved the aesthetics of my home. The selection of the tiles complemented the existing decor and added an unexpected level of elegance. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of the tiles and the finesse of their installation. An additional commendation goes to the team for their speedy work. Completing such an extensive project in just 4 days was nothing short of impressive. They were punctual, maintained an organised working environment, and demonstrated utmost respect for my home throughout the entire process. GSE Flooring's dedication to providing top-notch service, quality craftsmanship, and speedy delivery left a lasting impression on me. Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking comprehensive flooring solutions. Sam, with his dedication, expertise, and customer-friendly approach, was a pleasure to work with. His hands-on involvement in the project was greatly appreciated. His commitment to perfection and customer satisfaction makes him a shining star in the flooring industry. In summary, if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and highly skilled flooring company, GSE Flooring is the name you can trust. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed. read more

GSE Flooring - Flooring Near Me

Installed new flooring at my mother's place in Campbell. Very happy with the result, and with the entire process from the very beginning. - Great communication; Responsive, professional, clear. - Helpful, detailed estimates/quotes; Mentioned square footage, what's included and not included, etc. - Flexible regarding project adjustments, extras, etc. ; I was able to "customize" my project with them to fit my needs. They were very adaptable as the project scope changed several times, and handled it no problem. - Great value; Very reasonable cost which fit our budget. - Quality work; Willing to do the finer details. Most of all I appreciated their flexibility regarding the project - what was to be done, not done, etc.. They truly put the customer first. It was a real pleasure doing business with GSE Flooring. Samvel and Ani run a lean, quality operation, at great value, and I highly recommend them (I know I will call upon them for my next flooring project). Thank you Samvel and Ani, and until next time. Keep up the great work. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was great working with Samvel & team.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are very professional and detail oriented. They did an excellent job with refinishing our flooring. I would definitely hire again. read more

I'm so pleased with the job G.S.E. did on our office floor! It looks beautiful and they were great to work with. They were quick to come after I called for a consultation and scheduled the job soon after. The whole thing took 3 days (even though they discovered the wood floor stopped at the closet and had to lay down new wood flooring inside): one day to remove carpet, sand the floor and apply a coat of stain, another day for stain, and a final day for painting and installing new baseboards. They matched the color of our existing floors perfectly and you can't tell the difference between the new wood in the closet and the refinished wood in the room! We're already thinking of using them again for the last two bedrooms. Thanks Samvel! read more

I needed custom parquet flooring. GSE got the wood and made parquet from scratch. The flooring looks wonderful. Sam, the owner, was very responsive read more

GSE Flooring - This parquet was hand made - Flooring Near Me

Pro: - Punctual and stays on schedule. Cons: - No attention to detail. If you are going to hire GSE, I recommend doing two things: 1. Project manage the job closely, especially if his employee Eduardo is on your job. He is unprofessional, does not treat the home with respect, and rushes on his tasks. I've had to ask him to redo things multiple times throughout my projects. If you feel like you're being nit-picky, don't. Samvel's team lacks attention to detail, and you should hold a high bar on quality and craftmanship. Samvel claims to take his work seriously, but the quality of their jobs tell me otherwise. 2. Inspect the job THOROUGHLY before Samvel leaves. I hired Samvel twice, once in 2023 to refinish my property in Redwood City, and again in 2024 to install new flooring in my new property in San Mateo. Although I wasn't totally happy with the first job, I hired GSE again because I felt I at least knew what to look out for. During the refinishing job, Samvel stored my furniture in my garage and backyard. While they were sanding, they kept my garage door open and the sanding dust got into absolutely everything. He also did not cover up the furniture that was placed outside for the duration of the project, and my furniture got bleached by the sunlight. I would have appreciated it if he cared to cover up my furniture with something more than just a plastic sheet and kept the garage closed while sanding. After the job was finished, I spotted several corners (especially in the closets) where the old finish was still left un-sanded. That's when I knew GSE does not pay attention to detail, especially in the less conspicuous areas. During the second job, Samvel's team took off some of the panels on the kitchen cabinets while demo'ing the flooring and stored them in the garage. The panels got lost in the shuffle with other contractors coming in and out of the house for other remodeling jobs. Samvel should have known better than to store the panels in the garage where there was already a lot of trash from all the remodeling. But ok, it's his job to manage the other contractors, so I didn't raise any issues with it and I told him not to worry about it. After Samvel's team left, we had the handyman come back to reinstall the doors that were taken off while the painters were in the house. One of the bedroom doors wouldn't close anymore (I had confirmed all the doors were working before I paid the handyman for his services). It turns out, the door frame was pushed out by the baseboard (which Samvel's employee installed) that was cut too long and jammed in by force. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I told Samvel about this, and he was adamant that it could not have been his team who did it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No one else has touched the baseboards. My handyman thankfully was willing to fix it for us, so I was ready to let it go, until I found doodling on my brand new flooring while cleaning the house before move-in. I have a strong suspicion it was Eduardo. The last nail in the coffin that really tipped me over the top was when I found several gaps in the floorboards during my more detailed walk-through of the house after Samvel left. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sent him the photos of the gaps and he said he would come and fix everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The flooring is already all installed, which means he would either need to tear everything out again from the edges, or cut those specific boards, and glue down the replacements. We absolutely did not want that because of glue off-gassing, so I passed on his offer to correct the errors. At the end of the day, I'll probably forget about the gaps soon enough. Maybe I'm the a-hole being nit picky here, but this was not a cheap job and I definitely do not think I had anything more than a 2-star experience. read more

I needed the oak plank floor on one room refinished. After reading reviews on Yelp, GGE Flooring was one of the companies that I had provide an estimate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were able to provide an estimate quickly and efficiently.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I decided to go with them based on past reviews of their work as well as the fact that the estimate was excellently positioned as compared to the other 2 estimates.

I am thankful that we found GSE flooring. We wanted to change the carpets in 2 bedroom and 2 walk-in closets to laminate, as well as the vinyl in a bathroom to laminate. We had a really tight schedule for our remodeling and another company we'd scheduled with canceled on us and set a new date more than 2 weeks out. So we decided to find another company. And that's how we found GSE flooring. Samvel was always punctual, professional and respectful. We had a lot of questions and he responded patiently and on time. We got his quote on Thursday night and we finalized the agreement on Friday. They started the job on Monday and were finished by Tuesday afternoon (just Samvel another guy). When I say finished, I mean they had finished the installation and had cleaned up the place. We were pleasantly amazed at their efficiency and the quality of their work. I highly recommend GSE flooring because your floors will be in perfect hands! read more

Samuel and his crew were simply outstanding. Having worked with hundreds of building subcontractors, GSE Flooring was professional, timely, and provided high-quality work. GSE Flooring completed both refinishing existing hardwood floors and replacing carpeted stairs and handrails with hardwood treads and updated, modern ballasters, risers and posts. Every crew member was courteous, respectful, timely and clean. Their quality of work, again, was outstanding! Something that is rare in residential trades construction is a solid business model. Samuel does it right. He takes a small deposit at the start of the job, and doesn't invoice the balance until the job is complete. You won't see that with many building trades contractors, and I really appreciated this. Samuel has the confidence that his company would provide excellent work and service, and they did! Great job, Samuel, to you and the crew!! read more

Samvel come on the next day after our email conversation. He measured the space, answered all my questions, I've got the estimate very fast, and I like it! I will surely reach out to him again for any future flooring projects. Thank you Samvel & team! read more

Install material: Hardwood & wooden baseboards Installation scope: single family home ~1000sqFt Samvel is a nice guy, but the overall experience working with them has been subpar and disappointing. And I would not recommend them. I think the situation could have been salvaged with better communication, ownership/accountability, and planning. Key Issues: -One of the installers clogged our toilet during the install. Yes they did fix it, but that was after we discovered it and raised the issue. -There are cigarette butts littered at the front door of the property -They are not very experienced, thoughtful and we ended up with over $1000 worth of wasted materials and two weeks delay to the project due to poor planning around wasted materials. We purchased 10% more material to account for waste, and on the last day of the install, they told us there are only 1 1/2 foot pieces remaining and we need to purchase additional 3-4 boxes. I found at least 2 boxes worth of hardwood flooring in my garage that were wasted, including long pieces. Hardwood needs 1 week to acclimate and we had to wait 1 week for the materials to be delivered, delaying the install by 2 weeks. Another instance is with the baseboards. They did not plan ahead on how to cut the baseboards to maximize the materials. Instead we ended up having to purchase 2 additional pieces of baseboards which are all wood (so $$), and there are still seams on some of the walls because they had to use two pieces. They're also not very detail oriented nor cared enough to problem solve for functional issues. Our bathrooms are tiled, and is lower than the hallway and bedrooms. They installed a transition piece at the entrances that was 1/2 inches higher with a 90 degree angle. This is a serious tripping hazard and could stub your toe constantly. I asked them how to address this concern, but they could not provide a solution for this and said this is just the way it is. I'm lucky I had someone experienced to consult for a solution. The overall communication was not great. You'd have to sit there all day to micro manage the install to avoid issues. read more

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about this team. They are hard workers, easy to work with, and did an amazing job on our home. This process didn't feel stressful to us as all. Communication from Samvel was straight forward at all times, never pressured us into doing anything we didn't want to do, and he truly is an expert in this industry. We're so happy with the outcome of our home and highly recommend this group!! read more

We have worked with GSE Flooring to refinish our hardwood floors. I have decided to go with them thanks to their great reviews on Yelp. The reviews were well deserved. Samvel, David and the team went above and beyond to complete the project on time and the end result is amazing. In addition they have given me the best quote compared to others that I have talked to. In summary, they provide a great service for a very competitive price. Definitely recommended! read more

When we decided to replace the carpets in our home with Engineered Hardwood flooring, we contacted multiple flooring installers for estimate. Samvel (GSE Flooring) came in person, patiently answered all our questions, inspected our floors and provided his recommendation and the estimate very quickly. After evaluating multiple estimates, we found GSE Flooring's estimate to be very competitive and also very thorough where nothing is left for assumption. Along with that, the consistently prompt response from Samvel throughout the process, made us choose GSE Flooring over others. Once the installation started, which was 4 days after we agreed (that too mainly for the hardwood to season in our room temperature/humidity), the flooring crew did a fantastic job with the installation and completed the work on time as promised. They took the time to install the boards properly inside the closets and hard to reach areas. There were no surprises from start to the completion of project. They have an amazing team at GSE Flooring and I am happy that I went with them over others. I would very highly recommend GSE Flooring and would rehire them for any of my Flooring needs in the future. read more

I was about to give up on getting new floors this year. Wasted almost 3 weeks with a big box store only to find out they mismeasured and had to come out again. I received 3 other quotes and was defeated with what I was hearing. Samvel was my last appointment and I almost canceled I was so discouraged. So glad I didn't. He was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease. Within two weeks I went from old nasty carpet to beautiful vinyl wood looking floors. I am so happy with the outcome. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! read more

Samvel did a great job on our staircase. We bought an old house and were looking for someone to remove the old carpet from the staircase, replace all the stairs, remove old wooden balusters and install the iron ones, and refinish the handrails. I can't thank Samvel enough. Not only he did everything on time, was very responsible, thoroughly explained the work but he also stained the oak so it would match our floors perfectly.

Great experience with Samvel and his team. GSE flooring demolished the old hardwood floor and put in new engineered hardwood (about 1100sq ft). This was a tricky job - second floor with squeaky floor everywhere. Samvel spent lots of time with me advising on the best way to deal with the squeaks and was able to almost completely eliminate them by nailing the floor with special nails (that look like a hybrid of nail and screw). You can still hear the floor "settling in" but almost never any squeak. The people hired were super nice. All the trash was taken away. Samvel recommend a nearby store he works with ("kapriz") which gave me a deal on the hardwood itself. I recommend GSE flooring, hard to imagine a better service. read more

In one word: Excellent We conceived of our stair remodel project almost 3 years ago. The job was to remove 20 year old carpet that was used by our cat as a scratching pad and ripped apart on several steps, complete replacement of all treads with solid oak planks, replacement of all wooden balusters, complete refinish of the rails and stain and lacquer of the rest. Oh, and the stairs are curved and the bottom part is open on both sides. Not an easy or cheap job by any measure. We got our first estimate from one single company (DRS Stairs) in October of 2018. That estimate was many thousands of dollars more than we expected and as it turns out included many unnecessary charges and did not include the shipping cost of balusters and more importantly did not include re-finishing. We decided not to do that project until this year while cooped up in COVID. We randomly found GSE Flooring on Yelp. And boy, were we not disappointed. Pictures before and after speak for themselves. Pros: - Punctual, on time to the job, starting with arriving right on time for the initial estimate - Professional, the ONLY contractor we interviewed who put on booty covers on his shoes before entering the house for the estimate - Very reasonable price that included re-finish, re-caulk and stain for the entire stair - services that no other contractors included Cons: - None, really Would you recommend GSE to your mother? - Yes, as the matter of fact, I did! GSE is scheduled to replace carpet with laminate in my parents' house. read more

I found Samvel on Yelp and am so glad I did. I had sourced 4 different vendors for flooring across my house, including kitchen as well as tiling for a fireplace at my new place in San Carlos. He was not only very professional and transparent with his communication but also very competitive with his quotes. If there were any issues, he walked through pros and cons of any decisions, and suggested his recommendations without being pushy whatsoever. In the middle of the project, he had rightly identified issues with the existing flooring including leveling as well as hints of termite infestation, and either helped fix the issue or accommodated his schedule to allow for fumigations. He helped with picking up materials whenever we fell short - even if it were a couple tiles, he would go out of the way to the store to pick them up, and he did that on multiple occasions. Most importantly, he and his team take pride in their work, and have the requisite attention to detail. He will undoubtedly be my go-to person for all future flooring or tiling projects. read more
