    I wasn't sure if Hernandez Hardwood needs another 5-star review but of course I have to add my positive review to the list! About 12 years ago, my husband had Jay install laminate floors for our rental property. To this date, the laminate floor has held up really well. Fast forward to 2020, we wanted to install LVP flooring in our primary residence. We went with an installer that a friend of ours recommended and it was a huge mistake and waste of time. Our floor failed and began peeling/buckling within 1.5 years. After contacting that installer and not getting any help, we decided to look for someone new to fix our problem. We were getting different bids from various flooring contractors, afraid to get ripped off again; this was when my husband remembered our old flooring contractor who installed our laminate floor all these years ago. He called Jay - he came out to give us an estimate a day later. I did not get to talk to Jay 12 years ago but when I did meet him recently, I was blown away by his knowledge. I could tell instantly that we need to hire him, even before we saw the estimate. I told my husband, we should hire Jay, even if his bid comes back to be higher than others'. Thankfully, the estimate came out to be very reasonable, cheaper than some of them. We were able to pay a deposit and a week later had our floors installed. For 500 sq ft, the job only took one day (removal of previous LVP and installation of SPC flooring + new moulding and quarter rounds) The crew was very polite and efficient, even cleaned up after the job was done. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I now love my floors again and can have company over. Thank you Jay and team!

    Did my living room and hallway, and it's beautiful. The team went above and beyond to fix my floor and it's beautiful. I shopped around and this was the best quote I received. You get an invoice before you purchase that explains everything you get and warranties. I got en email invoice and the work was done two days after. Definitely recommend

    Couldn't be happier with everything from Hernandez. The hardest thing about this whole process was selecting the final product. There is so much to choose from in their store. Once we were ready the Hernandez team was fabulous. They came in and got our old tile floor removed quickly. Then came installation and wow, we were so impressed how quickly everything came together. We goofed and had not selected our baseboards but we were able to get that added to the job, the team came out the next day and knocked that out. The workers are phenomenal. Friendly, courteous, hard workers. When everything was done, they cleaned everything up. My floors look amazing. Great quality for a very good price. Next up will be to have them redo our stairs. If you are looking for flooring, I would highly recommend.

    My family just recently moved and one of the big things for us was to get the floor redone before we fully got settled in. We had three different flooring companies come out to measure and give us a quote and did not hear back from any of them in 2 weeks. A friend of mine recommended Hernandez Hardwood, and Jay got back to me immediately and ready to start work in a little over the week. Only because they had to special order our flooring. The work and cleanliness was immaculate. It was impressive what the crew got done in two days, it feels like an entirely different home. Honestly one of the most professional companies I've dealt with being a homeowner.

    Before: you can't really tell, but there were a lot of faded spots, the color is super dated, and it was thin, cheap and awful.

    Shockingly awesome! So happy We chose Hernandez Hardwoods. We'd gotten some quotes from the typical places like Home Depot, Empire (junk!) and I think the 3rd was called LA flooring. The selections were poor at LA and Empire and the prices were exorbitant across the board. Do not even hesitate to use Hernandez Hardwoods!!! He came with a massive selection of floor types and colors in my price range. We matched what we liked best, gave a deposit and scheduled our install date. He emailed me my quote and invoice and we were ready to go. Install day went off without a hitch. The crew arrived on time. They were courteous, professional and left my place immaculate. The foreman made sure to keep me apprised of everything he was going to do. They busted their butts all day and barely took a break as far as I could tell. I work at home, so as much as I mainly stayed out of the way, I couldn't help but notice how fast and efficiently they work. One of the best things for me was they took off all my baseboards and put them back on. Nobody else offered to do that. They wanted to install three-quarter round in front of the existing baseboards to hide any gaps. What? No thank you. An awesome last touch? They wrapped the flooring around my little island, giving it a nice refreshed look and tying it in with the rest of the floors. Thank you so much Hernandez Hardwoods. I didn't think I could afford to have pretty floors and it turns out anyone can! See our before and after photos!

    Jay and his team are spectacular. He was transparent, direct, and has a ton of knowledge when it comes to flooring. He installed real Oak hardwood floors in my home in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Really honest, on time, communicative, and reliable. Can't recommend him enough - he's your guy.

    I've used Jay about 3 times now in the past 4 years. He's an honest, hard working business man. With him and his team I know I never have to worry about anything. I appreciate the sense of urgency he has to my projects, I never feel like I'm on the back burner with other contractors. Flooring is installed fast, and done right. I Highly recommend them!

    Hernandez Hardwood installed our floor back in 2017 Great experience and best pricing. Jay was very helpful and accommodating throughout the process. extremely reliable and did perfect work in less time than expected. I highly recommend and will use them in the future.

    After

    Just got our whole downstairs done by Jay and his team. They were able to get it done in 2 days and everything is professionally done from the flooring to the baseboards. Exactly how we wanted it. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work they did. It's exactly how we wanted it. We got quotes from different company's and Hernandez Hardwood had the best price by a big amount. After carefully reviewing company reviews and pricing we went with them and we're so happy we made the right choice. We have more projects in mind, like our stairs and they'll definitely be our go t. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to get flooring done.

    From the start, Jay was very professional and helpful. When I visited their showroom, Jay laid out a good number of wood options that were similar to my vision. Once I made a decision on the flooring and baseboard, it wasn't long after that I was sent a contract and we scheduled installation. The installation took 2 days and the crew did an incredible job. I'm very happy with my floors and glad that I found this company on yelp. Once I'm ready to get flooring on my second story, I'll most definitely be calling Hernandez Hardwood!

THE DEETS: After researching a couple of local carpet places, I am so grateful that I found Elite. We were in the tumultuous process of trying to get new carpet installed within a very tight timeframe. Every place I checked did not have the carpet that I was looking for in stock and it would NOT arrive in time --but Alex at Elite assured me that he had what I wanted in stock or he could order/get it in time, if needed. I was super impressed by the first conversation with Alex because I had already spoken to a few other carpet places and had been getting the same responses from all the others --they would need to access the house to take measurements in order to give me an accurate estimate/quote ---which is NOT easily done when you're in escrow and the house is still occupied by the current owner. Alex assured me that he already knew the measurements because he has access to an exclusive database that contains that information. This was SUCH a relief and a huge game changer --with our challenging timeline, we were able to save a whole day and bypass an entire step in the process and it just made everything so much smoother. Alex also went out of his way to make sure he was available when I arrived at the shop. He showed me several amazing samples of high quality carpet and gave me price quotes on everything. I truly felt like he listened to my needs/concerns and gave me several viable options --I didn't feel like he was just trying to push the most expensive or the most plentiful brands... his carpet selection was unmatched. Personable and professional, Alex has been in the business for decades and his knowledgeable experience really shines. He was willing to accommodate several of our "special requests" and got me a great deal on exactly what I was looking for. Communication throughout the process was great -(which was also very reassuring after I had been ghosted by a different carpet guy). After having interacted with 4 other carpet places, I felt confident that I was receiving the best service and value at Elite. The installation of the carpet was smooth and hassle-free. Because we were moving into a new place, Alex worked with us to make the transition as seamless as possible. We had the pleasure of working with a total of 3 of his installers and they were all very courteous and QUICK. They carefully cleaned up after themselves and made sure we were satisfied with the finished product. My husband works with many vendors in his line of work and he was quite impressed by the quality and speed of service. If we ever have any other flooring needs, we know where to go and who to talk to. BOTTOMLINE: If you are experiencing "new carpet installation woes" --or just haven't quite found what you're looking for-- rest assured that there is a headache-free option at Elite Carpet. As a satisfied customer, I can confidently recommend Alex and his team of professionals who will undoubtedly provide a top-notch experience.

When we called him out to measure and give us an estimate, we were so happy to find out that the floor we had put in a couple of years ago was still available. We finally decided to tear out all the carpet and put in the same flooring that we had put in a couple of years ago in our kitchen, bathrooms, and dining room. We are so grateful to Wally's Carpet and their team for making this project so easy and affordable for us. Santiago, Santiago Junior, and their team did such a beautiful job on our hard floors and made sure it was installed perfectly and matched up with the other flooring that we already had in place. They left everything neat and orderly, and even moved all of our furniture back into place when they were done, which we appreciated more than we can say! Jose came to install carpet in the two bedrooms and got it done so quickly, all in one day. He made sure to vacuum, sweep and clean up any mess that happened with the installation. We highly recommend Wally's to anyone who is looking to have any type of flooring project done, they are highly professional, and their team of people are skilled, knowledgeable, respectful and got the job done professionally, quickly and with zero issues! We just want to say thank you to all of you and please know how grateful we are, we are so in love with the way our house looks. We want to show it off to everyone. John and Antoinette G.

    I've been dealing with Duane in one capacity or another in the flooring business for almost 40…read moreyears. He was the manager of a shop called fair price carpets that I worked for for several years. Then when I went on my own and became licensed, we worked together on many projects. I recently needed a room in my house carpeted. I picked out the carpet. They were charging me almost $3500 for the one room mostly because it was a very plush nice Carpet that I picked. When they installed it, it had very bad carpet crush, which is caused by a role sitting at the bottom of a pile for too long. It ends up permanently crushing the nap in certain parts of the role I was informed I would have to live on it for two months and have it professionally cleaned to try and fix the role crush instead of them replacing it as soon as they discovered it was no good. The room I was having carpeted is where my mother-in-law who has recently suffered from two strokes sleeps so every time somebody came to inspect the carpet or clean the carpet or replace the carpet I would have to make arrangements for her to go spend the night somewhere else and move all the furniture out of the room, and this is not counting the canceled appointments because they would schedule appointments even though they clearly knew they wouldn't be ready. The whole ordeal took close to four months and it really seems like nobody knows what they're doing since Dwayne's son took over Duane's son is a good enough guy I've known him for years, but I really must say I miss Duane a lot! And I will not be using carpets by Duane in the future or referring people to their company from now on
