Let me just say I have had hardwood floors installed/refinished in my last two houses and have been unimpressed with the quality & workmanship. I didn't rate them on here though because they were just very nice people so I'm not going to rip them to shreds on here--their work really sucked though, sorry to say....not to mention, the work dragged on & on & on.... Anyway, on a referral from some friends we called Dan at HD Harwood Floors. Wow. Talk about customer service--their crew worked at the crack of dawn until very late each day. I think I counted at least 6-7 people that worked on our floors. They ripped out, refinshed, painted & installed new base boards as well as installing some new hardwood floors. Very resonably priced compared to the other 3 quotes I got. In addition to their price being lower, they also used a thicker hardwood floor than most of our quotes. Call them & you won't be disappointed. I would give them 6 stars if they had it. Oh, we also had a last minute request and the owner came back & finished it in a matter of minutes. read more

We recently bought a house and about 60% of it had hardwood floors under carpet. The floors were in decent shape but had some stains and termite damage. The other 40% of the house (kitchen & dining room) had linoleum with carpet stuck on top. It was a mess. We ripped up the carpet ourselves and pulled the staples. Then we hired Dan @ HD to refinish the hardwoods we had and replace the linoleum with matching hardwoods. I am ecstatic with the result. Our floors look amazing! Dan seems to be able to do everything. When we initially hired him, we just needed the refinishing and adding hardwoods. Later we realized we needed new trim/ molding around the whole house after painting and changing the color scheme. I asked Dan if he did molding and he got me a quote the next day. The price quote was good so he did our molding as well! They did the refinishing, adding hardwoods, 3 coats of stain on the wood, molding, and other extra baseboards in one week. We also had tons of trash in our garage from ripping up the carpets, etc. and I asked them if we could pay to have it removed. They did and for about half cheaper than the quote we got from other junk removers. These guys work hard and do a great job. The price was low compared to others out there and that made me happy since I am quickly understanding the meaning of "house poor"! Only negative was that we couldn't always understand each other. Nothing went wrong but we had to run things by him a couple times to make sure we were on the same page. That said, the service was great, the price was right and the floors look beautiful :) Thanks Dan!! read more

Dan came to our rescue with a very short notice and on tight timeline. After having two other vendors and give us a quote, we called Dan after finding him on Yelp. We were pleasantly surprised to find (1) his quote was lower than the other two, and (2) he included additional services the other two didn't for the lower price. At showtime, he showed up early and hit the floor running. He quickly removed the carpet from the two rooms that had carpet on top of the hardwood, and assessed the additional damage, which luckily for us was minimal. He replaced all of the bad boards, sanded the place, covered all of the gaps, and applied the first coat all in one day. Two more coats over the next two days, and the floors were as good as new. Like other Yelpers mentioned, communication might be a bit of an issue due to the language barrier. I found emailing him my questions to be better as he was able to give me more clear answers. Overall though, we didn't have any issues with him. Dan, his wife, and additional crew member worked diligently to get our floors looking great! Highly recommend them. read more

After our fridge was leaking it was the catalyst to resurface our 15 year old wood floors (do people really put wood in kitchens anymore - stupid idea imho). So a few months ago when Dan and his wife came to bid on our job they told us to wait a few months and let things dry more. We had a couple other people come out - two of which were going to rip the old wood up and replace. I decided to rip out the baseboards and carpet myself and had the old stuff hauled which saved us quite a bit. The end result of having Dan and his wife and worker resurface our floors and myself doing the deconstruction and installing the new baseboards, etc was well under what I had budgeted (half). The job they did was far better than I expected. It was 3 full days of actual work (not full work days but application of the lacquer or whatever it is plus two days of ventilation. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is I had a communication breakdown a couple times, of him not understanding me - pushing the project back a week - with the house in absolute mayhem for that much longer. But the end result - it's all good. Highly recommend read more

Dan did a terrific and quick job tearing up old carpet and replacing it with engineered hardwood in my newly acquired condo. He came by, took some measurements, showed me some samples, and once I decided on everything he said he'd buy the wood and come back in a week to install it. Originally Dan quoted me 2-3 days for all the work, but he was done in 9 hours! Excellent work, highly recommend. read more

Dan did an PHENOMENAL job replacing/resurfacing the hardwood in our kitchen after a fridge leak went unnoticed for several months. He actually ended up resurfacing the entire kitchen for the same price! Looks brand new! His prices are low, he gets the job done right, and he's on time. He does the job as if it were his own kitchen. Very thoughtful of your belongings. Just FYI, he covers up your entire kitchen so you may want to plan on not using your kitchen for at least 3 days since. Email him with pictures. A few Yelpers on here mentioned it can be a little hard to understand his English. While somewhat true, it wasn't really an issue. I would hire Dan again. read more

We needed some water damaged wood replaced and the entire upstairs hardwood refinished. Dan arrived early with an estimate in hand based on our conversation via email. He explained things thoroughly and made sure I knew how much to pay and when. He out bid 3 other highly rated flooring companies that I spoke with. Not only did they get the job done a day ahead of schedule, they took care the entire time to ensure the dust was quarantined to just the upstairs. The floors look amazing! Dan and his crew are the way to go. read more

The very best hardwood floor company I have come in contact with in the last 25 years of doing real estate business! Dan and his team are very hard working and reasonably priced. Dan has refinished and laid new flooring in at least 20 homes for me or my clients and they have turned out beautiful! read more

Dan and his team just completed another floor repair and refinish for one my clients. As a real estate agent, I count on contractors like Dan to bid a job fairly, follow though on their contract commitments and serve my client's best interests. Thank you Dan for 10 years of excellent work at very fair prices. I appreciate a job well done. read more

Dan was very helpful, prompt and seems to really know what he is doing. We had him resurface one room (due to scratches) and screen three others so that they would match. Others would not bid doing just the one room as they said it would "leave an edge or gap". Dan was very willing to do it and he explained how he would taper the sanding so that it would blend into the "screening" (just removing the finish but no wood) in the hallway and the other rooms. He finished the job ahead of schedule, his price was very affordable and the floor looks great! read more

Dan's the man! He provided excellent service, coupled with a great price (nearly half the price of other quotes I received) on re-sanding and staining our floors. We had carpet on top of our hardwoods and researched lots of different vendors. A colleague of mine at work recommended Dan based on some work she had done at her place. I was very pleased with Dan's work and would highly recommend him - in fact he's done some more work with my neighbors and they've also been pleased. read more

In summary, HD Hardwood Floors is outstanding. My son finally gained access to his newly acquired home on Friday, 7/16 and had to move out of his apartment and into his home by 10 am on 8/1. He decided to replace all of the carpet and linoleum (1100 sq. ft) with hardwood, which included all rooms excluding the 2 baths, kitchen and dining area and wanted the existing hardwood lightened and blended in with the new. I was asked to help obtain bids and follow this project through to completion. Visiting from my residence in Florida I found using Yelp and ServiceMagic extremely helpful in locating qualified contractors. I obtained multiple bids from this group of high rated suppliers. With Dan's commitment to complete the job on or before 7/31, great Yelp ratings, responsiveness to phone calls and emails and slightly lower price than other bids, it made HD Hardwood Floors the obvious choice. Needless to say, I had some concerns about anyone completing a project of this size in such a short time. Once Dan was advised to proceed, and even prior to signing a contract, Dan along with his wife and crew showed up the next day, worked through the weekend, and didn't stop, until they finished on 7/31- right on schedule! They were hoping to be done a day earlier, which would have been even better for us, but they took the extra step to perfect their fine work by adding an extra (4th) coat of polyurethane to make it "look better". This was not a necessary step, but certainly reflects on their desire to do the job right and make it perfect. The flooring now has the quality finish of a fine piece of furniture. There were no additional charges for anything even though they did things not normally included. E-mail was an excellent choice for dealing with any questions or concerns and was responded to promptly, even at 12:30 am. I wish all contractors were this conscientious. read more

Business must be SO good for this guy to refuse a job. He had previously come a year ago to give us a quote (which was quoted at $1700+) on re-doing the smallest bedroom in our house. We had some issues with our house and needed to tend to more costly repairs (electrical issues) which at that time drained our bank. I emailed Dan recently and informed him we were now prepared to move forward with the job and wanted to know what to do to move forward. He sent an email stating, "Sorry, I don't want to do this job. Please try other contractor." For someone with such positive reviews I was hoping for some better service based on the feedback. Don't be mislead by the reviews. Apparently a 150 sq foot room must be peanuts to him...Well now I'm off to find someone who wants to work especially in this rough economy... read more

Dan refinished the floors in our house as well as my parents house. What a GREAT job! He fixed anything I asked to be fixed and came back after I scratched it on accident to fix it, free of charge. We will be using him again! read more

Called them. "Hello?" "Hello, is this HD?" "Yes" "But you answered like a home not a business. Are you a business?" "Yes" "hmmm, ok" *click* They hung up me. Sooo eek, methinks not. read more

I needed oak floors refinished at my new home and contacted Dan after reading reviews here. He is was very responsive and flexible which was important as I had tricky project management in my renovation project. Dan and his crew did a great job, I highly recommend them. read more

We hired Dan to stain and finish 3 bedroom and add a coat of ply to another one and main living area. I'd love to leave Dan a 5-star review but a few of the "little things" require that I deduct a star. First, the good stuff - Dan's team did great work, nearly matching the pre-existing stain in the hallway, other bedroom and main living area. They worked quickly and the finished product looks phenomenal. Oh, and he was 30% cheaper than the other guys. Minus 1 star - As mentioned above, I took off a star because Dan's team didn't quite get a few of the little details perfect. For example, Dan mentioned that some of the freshly painted baseboards might get a bit of stain on them. I told him that this was not a big deal because I would replace all of the small baseboards, but that he should be very careful with the newer baseboards and moldings. Nonetheless, quite a bit of stain ended up on the nice moldings and also on my freshly painted walls. Nothing that couldn't be touched up, but they should have been more careful. Someone also left the water running in the bathroom one night and left the front door unlocked when they were done for the day. My only other gripe is that Dan needs to be a bit clearer in his billing practices. The amount was as expected (actually, he offered to deduct $25 for leaving the water on, which was generous). The issue was that he unexpectedly asked for a progress payment after the stain was complete. I don't have a problem with progress payments but this needs to be made clear up front. And I usually don't carry my checkbook but luckily for him I did that day. All in all, we have great looking floors for a VERY reasonable price. I would recommend Dan to others, and just make clear that his team needs to be exceptionally careful with the stain (including requiring that they touchup paint/clean before making final payment) and get the payment logistics figured out in advance. read more

Fantastic results. Flexible scheduling. Finished on time. Good price. What else do you need? As others have said, stick to email communication and you'll be fine. He prefers email too. read more

Dan and his crew have put in two new bamboo floors for us in rental properties. They did an amazing job de-squeaking for free before they put in the new floor. They work hard and are very friendly. Tips: - Book in advance, Dan gets busy! He may be working more than one job, but he will try to keep your job on schedule. - Dan communicates best by text. He is a bit hard of hearing from years of putting in floors. read more

Dan and his wife did a terrific job in refinishing the hardwood floor in our living room and the hallway. He stained it and put 4 coats of polyurethane semi-gloss. The hardwood floor came to life after he finished the job. They really know what they're doing. Great price and great workmanship! Two thumbs up. Recommended! Thank you Dan! read more

Dan and his crew were simply outstanding! My husband and I bought the materials thinking we were going to install the floors ourselves. Once we realized that was a crazy idea...we contacted Dan for the installation. He and his crew were professional and thorough. I could not be happier with the results. His quote was more than fair. I highly recommend Dan! read more

This is a great family business. Dan and his wife were on time and did a meticulous job on the new wood floor throughout our home. We are very pleased with the results. The appliance person made a mistake which led to some water damage to kitchen cabinets and a small part of the floor and baseboards, and Dan fixed this problem with no additional cost. This business is first-rate! read more

Dan & his crew did an amazing job refinishing our old hardwood floors that were hidden under laminate & installing new hardwood floors in the kitchen & family room to match. Highly recommend! read more

I had 900 sq ft of hardwood floors refinished. Dan did a nice job sanding and applying 3-coats of clear polyurethane. The job took 5 days including drying time. His price was much lower than the other two quotes I received. The only minor hiccups were leaving the backdoor unlocked and not asking if we wanted gloss or semi-gloss. read more

Dan of HD floors came to my house quickly to give me an estimate. He and his crew did a great job, and they had the least expensive bid. I would recommend Dan unconditionally. It is sometimes hard to communicate with him verbally, but he uses email a lot. Go for it! read more

I can only add to the positive reviews. Dan did my entire house for a very competitive price and an excellent quality. He worked really hard and over the week end to complete the work on time. I only have praise for this very gently and honest fellow. Top pick in Silicon Valley. read more

never got the chance to see is work, but he committed to come by home on Sat morning for in-home quote and never showed up. I spent mornig waiting for him, when I could have been doing other things, but he never showed up and never called. read more

A nice job, completed quickly, with no fuss, and at a very good price. Dan took the time to ensure that he completely understood what we wanted and fully answered all our questions. He is a bit deaf (no language issues though), but wants to do the job well and how the customer wants it. He took real pride in his work and we're very happy with the results, schedule and the price. There is no question that we will call Dan next time we need floors doing. read more

Dan is really great and delivers on all his commitments. His work is great and his prices are honest.

Dan and his team did an excellent job with our living room and family room. The existing living room hardwood floor had been covered by carpet for about thirty years and looked very tired. It now looks new. The family room had old fashioned linoleum, also beneath carpet for thirty years. Dan replaced it with new hardwood that looks just as good as the living room. Dan's group was always on schedule and charged a decent price. GOOD JOB! read more

Dan and his wife are two hard working and accommodating people! When I told him that I work out of my house - he scheduled my hardwood floor resurfacing for Thursday - Sunday and kept to a tight schedule so I didn't have to miss any work days. He even stained and custom fit a piece of molding at no extra charge. Dan is very conscientious and takes great pride in his work. We were very happy with the price and pleased with the job he did for us. read more

Service was done few months back. Dan is the MAN. Showed up on time everyday and did very detailed job of sanding and refinish. Very pleased. read more

HD Hardwood floors did an amazing job refinishing the floors at my new house. The house had three different types of hardwood floors installed over the years and they were able to make them all look much closer to the same color and finish. The oldest sections now look brand new! Dan even fixed my loose circuit breaker and came back to touch up the floors where there were some marks left from the masking tape that my painters used. I highly recommend them! read more

We wanted to get rid of the old carpet in our home after we moved in. Luckily we found that there was hardwood floors under the carpet (which i think is common in older homes) but it looked tired and needed refinishing. In addition to this we had parquet floors in kitchen and dining which was damaged due to a dishwasher leak in the past. Since we were refinishing the floors we decided to replace the baseboards as well. I called Dan for an estimate and he had the one of the lowest bid of the quotes I got and I decided to go with him based on his low bid and his reviews on yelp. Dan seems to have a hearing problem so I did most of my communication via email as some other yelpers have suggested. He is very efficient with email. Dan suggested to remove the parquets near the entry way and reused the same to fix the damaged floor near the dishwasher. Due to this the parquets matched really well and we cannot notice any difference. It took about 5 days for him to complete the work. Overall: Parquet floor repair : excellent Harwood refinish : very good Baseboard installation: very good I am giving 4 stars because there were some spots on the hardwood which could have been done better with some special attention otherwise I had a good experience working with Dan and his team. read more

Clear estimate, on time for all appointments, great quality job

Dan has worked on the floors of my home in Sunnyvale during 4 different time periods. He has basically put new hardwood or repaired, sanded and stained the old ones. Each time he has done an excellent job with a very reasonable cost. During our first remodel in 2003, a few of the rooms already had hardwood under the carpet and when we removed the carpet, he came and repaired, sanded and finished the floors and did an amazing job! My living room did not have hardwood and was adjacent to the one with the old hardwood. Dan put new hardwood and matched the color of the new with the old one so you do not see a difference between the two. He and his wife, Anne who helps him occasionally, did a great job again in 2008 when I removed carpet from yet another room in my home. He again did a great job with such a low cost. Recently, he and his wife came back to repair the hardwood in our master bedroom and again repaired, sanded and finished the floors beautifully. I highly recommend him. The best way to contact him is through email at hdhardwoodfloors@gmail.com read more
