Thank you Josh! On short notice, Josh came to inspect the subflooring (and leveling) at my project, because the wood flooring will be installed next and I am not qualified to evaluate the work-in-progress (subflooring) that precedes the installation of engineered hardwood flooring. Josh is *such* a pro. I am so lucky that Lou's Floor came up on my search. Josh *patiently* communicated so many helpful details to me. He obviously knows his business and cares about the outcome. The next time I need flooring work, I will call him. read more

I highly recommend Lou's floor covering! Josh is the best! They installed carpet in one day and did an amazing job. I love to support local businesses and will be using them again in the future! read more

Flooring - good selection of materials and styles. We chose a rustic wide plank laminate for our "old English " kitchen. Flooring was delivered on time. The installer was knowledgeable and efficient. He also worked with us to achieve a seamless transition to the dining floor. Installed paper barrier that prevents squeaks. As is my way, I pre-prepared the subfloor by recessing all fasteners and floor sanding the subfloor for a flat surface. Installation was quick and product has proved durable. read more

Josh and his team have been amazing to work with from the get go! When we moved into our new house, a mover dropped a headboard and broke one of our stairs! I called a few places and no one wanted to take on the small repair job. I came across Lou's Floor on yelp and was so thankful that Josh agreed to help me out. His worker did an amazing job and the price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get new floors, not to mention Josh is very professional and easy to work with. read more

Went back to Lou's for a bathroom remodel. I Took out the tub for a walk in shower. The work is so amazing, i dont know why i didnt do this sooner. We are extremely happy with the quality of work with his top-notch expert staff. It was stress-free, no running around town looking for tile, color matching. After explaining to Lou what we envisioned, he knew exactly the type of tile, vanity, floor, fixtures, etc to install. If you want to remodel and want quality products and workmanship, Lou's the place to call. read more

It was a great experience working with Josh in tiling our entire home with large porcelain floor tile. Josh was very responsive and very quickly got back to us with a bid that was well outlined on the work to be performed. Josh and his team were very fast and efficient and completed the project way ahead of schedule. Every step of the way he was there to make sure the work was being done to a high standard. The work was done very professional and we are extremely happy with the result. We look forward to working with Josh on future projects. read more

We really appreciated the time and effort they put into our carpets. We had very loose carpets that needed some cleaning. Josh and his team did a great job putting in time and effort to make them look new. They arrived 10 mins early ready to work and even helped us move the last 2 things out of the room that we were working on. We had gotten our carpets cleaned once before and they were just left drenched and dirtier then before but this was a total 180 from that experience. The price we got quoted was even better than some of their competitors. They made quick work finishing everything in less than 4 hours total and left the house spotless. Josh gave us a good honest quote rather than having us do the carpets everywhere we decided to focus on a few rooms. It was a refreshing experience and they were able to get us in just a week after our estimate. We already have recommended them to our neighbors. The only thing that didn't go as smooth was just having to reach out a second time since they apparently misplaced our initial info when we stopped in- but after a quick call I got a call back less than an hour later setting up an appointment. read more

All the reviews are 100% right - Lou's Floor is the best. We just moved to the South Bay and wanted to get new kitchen countertops for our rental unit. I called and got bids from several places. Since this was my first time doing any sort of remodeling or house renovations, I wanted to be absolutely sure we go with the right people because I've heard horror stories. If you don't want to read my novel about the ins and outs of praising Lou's Floor for their work - just stop here and give them a call because you will be in good hands!!! But if you'd like to understand why, please read on :-) Josh came out and provided an in person estimate and right off the bat - I liked his energy and vibe. He was not pushy, provided great suggestions on placement and possible design ideas, and was not sales-y at all which I appreciated. Because of that, I asked him if he could also give me an estimate on the floors for my actual house. We needed our floors redone and while we were thinking we could DIY it ourselves... we knew we were handy, but just not THAT good to tackle flooring, especially since we were on a tight time frame since we had to move our things in. Josh provided 2 quotes - one for our kitchen and one for the floors. To be completely transparent, Lou's Floor was not our cheapest bid we got BUT their prices are very reasonable and Josh worked with us to make things happen within our budget without sacrificing quality. We knew were were in good hands just based off of him and how he represented the company. When all is said and done, the quality of their work was worth us spending a bit extra because quality and experience speaks volumes. We are very happy with the way our kitchen turned out and appreciate the wonderful suggestions Josh had to make the look come together. I also appreciated all of his help in picking out the right floors for our house as well. We've already gotten so many compliments from our family on the kitchen and floors (and I mean, that's all I wanted was the compliments, so thanks Josh and team!). What I really appreciated most was how quickly he got our floors installed so that we could move our things in time!! That in itself should earn them 10 stars. All of the crew that came to do the work were friendly, clean, and on time. They were respectful of the place and Josh did a great job on communicating with us the entire time. We are so happy that I've joked that we opened a running tab with Lou's Floor because they are now doing my blinds and will come back to do the big kitchen remodel in our house! He's also given me a few great referrals for the South Bay. Thank you Lou's Floor and Josh. You have gained happy and loyal customers for all of our remodel needs. read more

The concrete pad for our new ADU was poured incorrectly and wasn't level. We also had a problem with the uneven transitions from the tile in the bathroom to the vinyl flooring. The contractor tried to have his guys fix it and made a bigger mess so I called Josh of Lou's and they came to our rescue. They leveled the floor as much as was possible and our transitions are now flat. Thanks to Chris and Jose for their hard work! They very much saved the day with their quality work since our ADU is going to be occupied by a wheelchair user. Really appreciate their excellent work. read more

We were looking to have carpeting installed on our steps, hallway and bedrooms, and were drawn to Lou's because of its many stellar reviews and their very close proximity to our home. Due to circumstances, neither of us were able to visit Lou's showroom to select carpeting, so Josh Ripouli was graciously willing to bring samples to us. Once we made our selection and a price and installation date was agreed upon, work began. We were quite impressed with the degree of expertise (who knew that "carpet college" was such a thing?!), attention to detail and the outstanding (extra) work performed by the installers. Also, every stick of furniture was placed back exactly where it belonged. Josh was wonderfully patient with us every step of the way too. No detail was left unaddressed and every expectation was met, and then some! read more

We could not have asked for better service or higher quality work on the installation of our new wood flooring and carpeting. I worked with Josh who offered professional advice on product selection and design; he also kept me up-to-date on work in progress with calls and photos as we were absent from the job site due to Covid-19 safety precautions. The staff was equally attentive and responsive and the work was completed on schedule, as promised. I highly recommend this company and plan to use their services again in the future. read more

We found Lou's Floor & General Contracting store in the local market. Got the Bathroom Re-done first and liked the work that was done. Josh was very Friendly & helpful and the work was completed well before time and done well. A Month later when we were moving out of town we gave Josh the keys to get the house painted, and the flooring, and carpeting to be re done. Josh went out of his way to help and coordinate with suggestions and photographs throughout the entire job. Everything and much more was done to perfection right from choosing the colors for the walls, and the laminate for the floor and carpets for the bedrooms to the finish, and repairing & cleaning up after that. We are grateful to Josh for his help and will not hesitate to recommend or use his service again sometime soon. Thanks read more

After discovering what was thought to be a standard toilet seal leak, it was discovered that some fairly catastrophic damage had been done to the subfloor in most of the bathroom area . In short, it turned out to be a huge job. After receiving some very strong recommendations from some friends, I selected Lou's Flooring and Construction. What a perfect choice ! A plan was quickly devised to repair all of the damage and replace everything with the most up-to-date fixtures and materials . Work began immediately and the skilled tradesmen in Lou's employ were on time , extraordinarily respectful of my property and household , and absolutely trustworthy . Most importantly, the quality of the work is phenomenal. The end result is brilliant . I would absolutely recommend Lou's flooring and construction to anyone who is interested in the best possible outcome for their property . Mike Z read more

We are giving Lou's Floor & General Contracting a 5 star rating for many reasons. First, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Lou and Josh are extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. They just finished completely remodeling 3 full bathrooms and installing flooring and window coverings throughout the majority of the house. We were so thankful for all the suggestions Lou and Josh gave us during this process. They made it so much easier for us. Their crew was the BEST!! They were always on time and very respectful of making sure everything was covered and then cleaned up afterwards. Lou and Josh stopped by frequently to make sure everything was running smoothly. We made the best decision hiring them and everything turned out beautiful. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Lou, Josh and Veronica for everything. Nina & Rene' read more

First, don't be confused about the name of Lou's business. Yes, they do floors, but they do so much more! I found Lou on Yelp when I as looking for a contractor for my small bathroom with a tiny shower that was showing signs of major water damage. I have a 1923 beach cottage, so finding someone who could do a "remodel" (oh, how I hate that word when I love my house the way it is!) that fit the style of the house and my budget was a challenge. From the moment I met Lou and we started talking through the possibilities, I knew I'd found the right person for the job. He even agreed to jump on it right away to have it done quickly before the holidays. As a novice to remodeling (there, I said it again), I was scared to death. I couldn't picture the outcome, and though Lou walked me through every step of the way and every decision, it was tough to just trust that the new bathroom would come out perfectly and that it would look like it belonged to MY house--not like an ugly and generic Lego piece pulled from an awful McMansion. Poor Lou didn't know what he's gotten himself in to! The damage was worse than we'd thought. The old electricity was a disaster. The walls behind the walls were literally built out of old marine signage! But Lou and his team delivered more than we could have hoped for--without breaking my budget, which was pretty amazing. I'm now my friends' favorite real-life HGTV example, and I LOVE my new bathroom! Check out the before and after attached. It's perfect... and I couldn't have done it without Lou's creativity, guidance, and care from beginning to end. Thank you Lou and all of your craftsmen for a job so well done in every way! read more

I needed new floors in the kitchen and bathroom in one of our triplex units and wanted something 'green.' Josh knew about marmoleum when I asked - and Chris did a fabulous job installing it. When there was a small glitch with an issue reseating the toilet they covered it. Communication was great beginning to end- a big plus! I knew when someone would be here-- and he was! Quality and professionalism at a fair price in a local business !!! read more

The best. We have used them numerous times for carpet and other flooring. Josh comes and makes a fair and good estimate and makes a plan that fits our needs. The excellent work is started on time and finished on time. call them! read more

We had a major flood at our home in Palos Verdes and we needed a trustworthy contractor to come in and fix the issues. We didn't know where to start, but after talking with several friends and neighbors, we heard, time and time again, AMAZING things about Lou's Floor & General Contracting. We interviewed many contractors in the Palos Verdes area, but decided to go with Lou's Floor & General Contracting! Out of all the contractors we talked to, Lou's Floor & General Contracting were the most experienced, qualified and innovative to complete the job. Lou, Josh and their crew were amazing! They came up with such great design ideas. They came in and installed custom 8" distressed walnut flooring, custom oak baseboards, repaired drywall to ceiling and walls, built a custom white-wash oak cabinet in bathroom, repainted the whole downstairs, redid lighting and even carpet cleaned our wool area rugs. They were such a pleasure to deal with, we would hire them in a heart beat again! I highly recommend them to all my family, friends and neighbors! read more

So I've been at a stand still on my homes flooring from a botched job out flooring guys did. I was out of answers and needed help on getting some floors so I started calling around to any place that had to do with flooring trying to find boxes of my vinyl floor planking I needed. Lou's flooring went out of their way, contacted MSI flooring for me over and over and just went completely out of their way just to help. These are the kind of companies that we need to take care of and frequent, going out of their way with such kindness just to help us out. Thank you so much your kindness goes a long way! Best customer service ever! read more

I wanted to share this remodeling experience we've had with a couple of local contractor company's. We recently had our downstairs bathroom vanity replaced. Our old one was the original one when this townhouse was built. The doors wouldn't close. We had several bids and decided to go down to Lou's Floor Covering on 8th street in San Pedro. Don't let the name fool you. They do everything. We had an estimate done and went down to their store to look at design and material. Lou's bid was a reasonably priced. He used several tradesmen to complete the job. A labor to do the demo. A plumber to change the piping to relocate the sink, a cabinet maker who made and painted and installed this amazing vanity and the guys who installed the counter top and sealed it perfectly. As you can see the difference is night and day. They were punctual, stayed in touch to determine the timeline that worked for us. The vanity that the cabinet maker built is made of sold maple, no particle boards or imitation material. Soft close doors, even the bottom drawer which I love. So much more space. I just had to share a 5-star review from just one of our local contractors. What do you think? read more

Just finished a master bath remodel with Lou's flooring in San Pedro. It turned out wonderful. Nice crews to work with and Lou has alot of knowledge about contemporary designs. Only one draw back was it was not finished on time ...but it was worth the wait. read more

I hired Lou's to replace & relace about 30 floor planks that were damaged in my kitchen. The area is located in a corner of my kitchen cabinet and peninsula, so the job was going to be a bit complicated because the planks under the cabinet can't be removed. Lou's workers arrived on time, and with proper PPE (masks). They did an outstanding job of removing the damaged planks, getting up the glue and in about 4 hours they had the new planks installed. Now the floor is looking beautiful and new again....like the damage never happened! Thank you Josh and Lou's flooring for restoring my beautiful floor and for restoring my faith in contractors. I will use Lou's for several other projects I have, since they are experts in so many areas! read more

Josh and his crew created a comfortable, pleasant experience from start to finish. They installed luxury vinyl throughout our home. The crew was polite, professional, fast and did an excellent job on the installation. I highly recommend Lou's Floor Covering ! Thank You, Josh!! read more

Lou's Floor Coverings Review of kitchen remodel and installation of new floor coverings. Lou Roupoli is the best contractor I have ever worked with. He met all of his commitments and actually finished early. He was able to put new flooring throughout my 1200 sf home and do a complete kitchen remodel in a little over 3 weeks. Bonus for me is that it was completed just before our COVID-19 stay at home orders so I have been able to revel in my new beautiful kitchen and new floors while isolated! I keep telling my friends (appropriately social distanced, of course) how much I love my new kitchen, giving them tours via facetime and zoom. They are appropriately impressed. Lou's subs were really good at what they do and wonderful to work with. Lou was on site every day to check progress. His communications with me were timely so I always knew what was going on and he was always available for questions. He was able to make changes to the plans as we progressed and agreed to new layouts. Materials and work done has been of the highest quality and on budget. read more

Lous floor covering was awesome!!! Josh & Louie were very professional and attentive to our decorating needs. . Everything seemed to run very smoothly and on schedule. We had bought wood flooring, carpet and blinds. All of our items look fabulous, and at a reasonable price. There were a lot of choices to choose from at their showroom. I would definitely be using them again. I also would recommend them to family and friends. Thanks Lou, Josh, & Louie. Vince & Mariea Mattera read more

My family worked with Lou's Floor Covering as we prepared to move into a new house. Lou and his team are caring, creative, honest, and reliable. I would highly recommend them for hardwood flooring and home renovations. To start, we met with Josh and Lou for a design consultation. We discussed our ideas and the space. They made recommendations based on our needs and style, and we came up with great solutions for our bathroom, kitchen, interior paint, and flooring. The estimate was very reasonable and we were given a timeline. Work started only one day after signing the contract. Everything progressed as they promised. The materials used were extremely high quality. They truly cared about our home and our happiness. Overall: Expertise combined with quality, a designer aesthetic, and a family business that is a pleasure to work with. Supporting this San Pedro business really paid off. There's definitely a reason they've been so successful for years. read more

When researching contractors for large or small jobs, look no further than Lou's Floor Covering. I have had them do 2 complete bathroom remodels plus family room flooring and paint and master bedroom carpet and they all turned out super fantastic. The workers are on tIme, clean and know their craft. Price is very reasonable and they keep the job moving to keep on track if you're running on a deadline. Lou and Josh presented so many great ideas to achieve my whole vision. In my latest bathroom remodel project, I had them finish the job with a custom window covering which looks great. I highly recommend this family run business and am a very happy customer, thanks to Lou, Josh, Lou Jr., Veronica and their team of skilled workers. Here are a few pictures from our most recent bathroom remodel, and previous family room and guest bathroom jobs. read more

When we decided to complete the remodel of our home there was no question who we would call..... Lou's Floor Covering was the only choice! We had our Master Bath finished (tub and shower combo redone) carpeting removed from upstairs and our beautiful laminate continued throughout the upstairs. We also had remote control shades put over our sliders in the dining room and the upstairs office. As happened before, Lou's did a wonderful job. Lou, Josh and Louis were there to address all my concerns, respond to my calls or texts and they also helped me make great choices as to which products to use for the bathroom and the stairs. The tile on our shower is beautiful and my husband loves the powerful fixtures. I love the carpeting up the stairs as this is a high traffic area and this carpet does not show dirt! The work was completed in a timely manner. All the workers who showed up were on time, fairly neat and did a good job. If I had any concerns, Lou or Josh addressed them immediately. Once again, I am very pleased with the work that was completed by Lou's. My entire house looks so fresh, clean and updated (and I didn't think it looked that bad before) I highly recommend Lou's Floor Covering. We live in a small gated community and because of their great work, Lou's has been VERY busy here. Our homes look so beautiful after Lou's has finished. I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

The people at Lou's Floor covering made re-carpeting my house easy. They let me look through all sorts of samples and price ranges until I found something I could afford and that I liked. Then they came and took measurements for my house. They helped me decide which rooms to carpet. I was able to decide when they should do the main area and when they could come back and do the bedrooms. The people who came were courteous, and prompt, they cleaned up everything, I really liked that I didn't have to dispose of the old carpet and carpet padding. They also moved my upright piano, and my wardrobe which were both very heavy. There was no pressure to make any decisions, they gave me quotes and just said to call when I was ready to order the carpet. read more

I requested laminate flooring to be done in my spare bedroom and was blown away by how beautifully executed it was, how professional their employees are and how respectful they are in my home.

Not one to leave yelp reviews but I wanted to share my happy experience. 10/10 read more

Lou's flooring, and Josh specifically, helped us re-carpet 5 bedrooms in our new home. Josh did an in home consultation to determine the amount of carpet needed, and was clearly knowledgable about flooring and overall home remodeling. We had extremely bad creaks in our sub-floors. Josh was honest they couldn't 100% resolve it, but in the end we got to 90% resolved, which we were very happy with. We also had large dips from the tile hallways to the cement sub-floor in each of the rooms, these were also resolved greatly, so we have less of a strange ramp effect. My only feedback was that less expensive carpet options aren't on prominent display in their shop. We had seen DreamWeaver (which was started by the same original owner as Mohawk) at another shop, and it was about $3K less than comparable carpets from Mohawk or Shaw. Lou's still had it available, and was able to price match, but if we hadn't shopped around a bit, we may have ended up paying a lot more. Overall, we still wanted to make sure we went with Lou's for installation sake. We we were much more confident in their expertise and Josh's oversight, and in the end the install was flawless. We have a square grid patterned carpet, which was installed evenly and straight across enormous rooms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lou's flooring or use them again. read more

Recently my wife and I decided to remodel our home, kitchen, dining room and wood floors throughout. We knew we wanted the best materials, quality work and a contractor that we could trust. After shopping at several different locations looking for wood floors, we found exactly what we were looking for at only one place, Lou's Flooring. His son Josh did a great job with explaining the different types of materials, quality, cost and benefits of the many samples that they have on display. We were able to find exactly what we wanted. After researching contractor's, my wife and I decided to go with Lou's company because of his reputation for quality service, reliability and trust. He did not let us down. Lou's Flooring did an outstanding job. The finished product was the high quality work that we were hoping for, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. We had a very positive experience throughout the process. During demolition the dust was kept to a minimum, they kept the work site and property clear and free of debris, by removing trash daily. We were very pleased that the job progressed without unnecessary downtime and delays. Lou provided great advice and recommendations that gave us a better outcome. Lou communicated with us every step of the way. We are extremely happy with our new kitchen, dining area and beautiful hardwood floors. We are enjoying our home and we are grateful to Lou and his crew for the excellent work and experience while remodeling our home. We highly recommend Lou's Flooring. Thank you Lou! read more

Just completed our second bathroom remodel with Lou's, and we couldn't be more pleased. He knows his business, performs high quality work and deals fairly with his customers- can't ask for more than that! He regularly visits the worksite throughout the process and touched base with us daily to insure that we were happy with the work performed and knew what the next step in the process would be. His workman took the extra time to cover and protect- preparing your home for their arrival and to keep everything clean and tidy. They were polite and I felt safe having the in my home. Lou really works with you to provide ideas and options, answers all your questions and you're always able to reach him. Would highly recommend. read more

So...if you are looking for an outstanding flooring company, Lou's is it. You will be delighted on every level -- so rare in the trades. They installed laminate flooring in my new office. I spent two long months getting estimates from several companies and could not believe how unprofessional, slick, condescending (yes, many men in the trades are misogynistic; my apologies to the ones who are not), snippy, full of attitude, and very annoyed and even aggressive when I asked questions about things that did not make sense to me -- that I later learned did NOT make sense or were outright lies. Some of them had a formulaic way of installing, not taking into account that every job is different and often has weird areas that require special care. Follow-through was absolutely terrible with regard to getting the estimate, returning calls, etc. I was kept waiting weeks with one company and the only reason I tolerated that was because it was the guy who had installed the hardwoods in our home years ago. He does good work, but his business practices and communication are deplorable -- I'd forgotten that about him until I was faced with it again. What a waste of time. Enter Lou's Floors in San Pedro. Finally, I thought to ask our amazing roofing company for a referral because their standard of excellence is high, so I knew they would only send me the best. From the beginning, it felt great. It's the very best in the tradition of a family-owned business that remembers what excellent customer service is and understands the profound value of it. Josh is incredible. He is the liaison for the company for building a relationship with the client and he does just that. He is professional (a rare aspect in current time). kind, patient and knowledgeable. He's a good listener who's attentive to the needs of the job, receptive to questions, and explains things in a way that laymen can understand regarding what the aspects of your job entails. He worked *with* me to see the job through right to the very end, even with a few roadblocks we had to deal with because my job had some unusual aspects to it. He also has a fantastic eye for helping you to choose a color for your space and for what direction in which to lay the planks for the very best look. Lou's Flooring is a very impressive business. I am so glad I was connected to them. A class act. read more

I researched a few other companies, and by far, Lou's Floor Covering is the best. First of all, the store is a family owned business which I really appreciate. The quality of service was great. Josh was always available and accommodating to every need I had as this was my first time getting my condo repaired. All of the team there were nice, easy to talk to, and most importantly, did a fantastic job on my wood floors in my bedroom and also doing tile work in my bathroom. You appreciate great work when you have had bad work. The previous owner had work done on the condo I bought, and boy, was the wood flooring done horribly where it is buckling and it creaks and makes noise. I will get the living room floors redone by Lou's Floor Covering. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Quality work and great customer service! read more
