    Saw dust buildup in door frames
    Vee S.

    HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED, STAY AWAY! Restaining of hardwood floors was done in Sept 2016... Ali came recommended by another vendor I used for shutters installation, and she's great, so heck, why not give Ali a shot. He was reasonably-priced. This was for a new home we were moving into so I wanted the hardwood floors restained a darker color. That's it. 1. Work was promised to be completed in 3 days. Took 2 weeks due to their errors and it still wasn't done. We needed to move in, completed or not, and Ali was not empathetic to our situation. 2. Ali provided the onsite quote with my husband and told him that he would replace some of the damaged hardwood he found in the closet. When Ali's workers came to do the work, they said no wood is being replaced. When I spoke to Ali about it and what he discussed with my husband, he said he never told my husband he would replace wood for free. So he is essentially calling my husband a LIAR. Quite unethical and just bad, bad practices. What reason would my husband have to make up a BS story like that? We didn't even know we had damaged wood, let alone ask for free replacement. Shameful. 3. Restaining wood involves sanding down the top coat and stain....lots and lots of saw dust everywhere. They put up "covers" between rooms but it didn't matter because their sander kicked dust into every nook and cranny! My doorframes had caked up dust in and outside of the frames! All of my brand new installed kitchen appliances had dust all over them. Horrible. I asked Ali if he normally cleans after a job. He replied, "No, we don't deep clean your house." Are you serious? So you don't return my house the way you found it, clean? Unacceptable and just plain disrespectful to me and my brand new home. 4. The stain we selected was a beautiful dark brownish color. Thanks for that, one positive! The stain doesn't look so nice on my newly white painted base boards. When I asked Ali if his crew would be touching up my base boards from their mess, he said No. Apparently they don't clean up their overstaining either. They don't offer lots of "above and beyond" service. Sad. I have several more mishaps that I can list but I believe the above suffices for my severe discontent. Ali did offer to redo the floors all over again because there were several patches that were damaged by his worker. I had to break up with him and end it all. Because seriously, why would I want you to redo the bad work with the same worker that will likely do bad work again. Ali offered a discount for our dissatisfaction and that was how we ended it. I paid him the balance due and haven't asked them to return. We would not recommend Ali and Hardwood Experts.

    Employees finally noticed that we have 2 different types of flooring. I guess the hardwood didn't stand out very well.

    Dear Hardwood Experts, Thank you again for restoring the hardwood floor at my company office. After my company had its 20th Anniversary Party directly on site, our hardwood floor experienced some damages (deep scratches, liquid and food stains, and normal wear and tear). To say the least, the hardwood floor in the "Eagles Nest" was completely worn down and it severely needed a lift to restore its beauty. After doing some quick research on other hardwood floor companies, I found that yours had the best availability and pricing. I called Monday morning to schedule a free consultation and within a few hours Ali Kouhen (Regional Project Manager) was at my location promptly. He was direct, precise, and very transparent about the services that would and can be offered. Although I needed about 700 square feet of floor to be finished and completed before the following Monday (less than a week), Ali was more than willing to work my company's schedule to avoid any loss in company time. His crew came Saturday and Sunday and by Monday morning the floor was brand new! After having the floor sanded, buffed and varnished, several of our employees were surprised that we had two different types of flooring before (picture attached). Since having the floor redone, I have heard nothing but compliments on the quality of work and appearance of the hardwood. The owner of EagleRider directly commented, "The floor looks better than when we first installed it!" I recommend Hardwood Floor to any person searching the Los Angeles market. Unlike other companies I tried contacting; Hardwood Experts answered their phone promptly, scheduled an appointment efficiently and in a more than timely manner, and were easy to work with. Whenever I had a question or concern, Ali was quick to respond back to my phone calls. I appreciate the promptness and customer service that I received. Thank you again for doing an excellent job on my company's hardwood floor. FYI to future customers: Check (and Cash?) Only.

    See all

Our project manager, Eder, was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was extremely communicative and stayed on top of every detail. Choosing the right flooring is a big decision, and Eder was incredibly patient while we weighed our options, even providing full sample boxes so we could see how the wood looked in our own light. One thing we really appreciated was Eder's transparency. Before the installation began, he walked the house with us and highlighted specific areas that needed extra attention. Being aligned on the solutions beforehand saved us a lot of stress and ensured there were no surprises mid-project. The crew was efficient and actually finished the entire job ahead of the original schedule. During the final walkthrough, we identified a few minor items that needed touching up. Eder handled these immediately and was more than happy to ensure every detail met our expectations. If you are looking for a professional team that prioritizes communication and quality finishes, I highly recommend Sequoia Flooring. Ask for Eder!

    We had a wonderful experience with The Floor Center. We had a long scar in the floor of our 1940s…read morehome that had been poorly patched when someone had removed a wall long ago. Robert's team led by Carlos laced the wood back together (they had to take up a larger part of the floor because the boards didn't line up perfectly on either side of the old repair) and were able to reuse many of our existing boards to do it, you can see the new wood over by the wall in the collage. They sanded the floors down and prepared three stain samples (bottom left photo of the collage) based on colors we picked from a fan book they loaned us. The bottom right photo is the finished product and we couldn't be happier with how the floors turned out! They took great care of our home, using plastic to cover the openings to the kitchen and all vents so the dust didn't end up anywhere it shouldn't, and cleaned up the remaining dust when they finished. The stain is Nutmeg from Duraseal on red oak hardwood, with a Satin finish polyurethane sealant.

    At my contractor's suggestion, I went to Imperial to find a 5.5" trim/casing to go around my garage…read moredoor. Earlier thebsame dayI'd gone to Ganahl's lumber in Pasadena since it was closer to me. At Ganahl's I was treated with little care by a guy behind a desk who had no trim suggestions except either fiber cement board or redwood. HOWEVER, at Imperial Annie immediately suggested Bodyguard's 5.5" trim made for exterior applications. (I like the Bodyguard trim because it had eased edges that looked more finished than straight lumber edges). Annie explained how the pine product is double primed, etc. She called her supplier right away to see if they d it in stock which they did. She also showed me samples she's ordered for another client so I could see the quality of the product. In other words she took the time to care about what I was looking for. At Ganahl's they really didn't care about what I actually needed. My husband might prefer the redwood option(because it's a more "noble" wood than pine,) but I definitely prefer the great service at Imperial which is where I'd go for any future hardwood and moulding needs.
