Mattie's Hardware is an incredible partner. This is the second project I've done with John - this one was to replace the hardwood in my kitchen after a leak caused extreme buckling. John has great communication, fair pricing, and 5-star craftsmanship. Highly recommend. He also helped with an clutch cabinetry project in the home, which was really clutch. read more

I've hired Mattie's Hardwood Floors three separate times over the past six-ish years, and each experience has been consistently excellent. Their craftsmanship is top-notch--they pay close attention to detail and clearly take pride in their work. It's obvious they care about the final result and making sure their clients are truly happy, not just "done with the job." John and his team are great communicators and have always been 100% reliable with timing. Georgio (one of John's team members) did my kitchen floor recently - he is very pleasant and trustworthy. Great combination of skill, professionalism, and kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mattie's Hardwood Flooring again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality hardwood floor work. read more

Our floors look like new! We couldn't be happier. Mattie's sanded, stained and sealed our strand bamboo floors. Having had previous experience with John's work, we were totally comfortable and confident about having the work done while we were out of the country for a few weeks. Although we don't expect to need additional work for a very long time, we'd be thrilled to use his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for high quality results. He read more

I've been a contractor for 45 years. And I thought by now I knew guys in every single trade. But when I needed my hardwood floors redone I realized I didn't have a guy for that. I went on Nextdoor and asked for referrals. I got more for Mattie's than anyone else. They raved about him. John came to my house in Petaluma and looked things over and was able to very quickly explain what was needed. I received his proposal the same day. His crew started on a Monday and finished by Friday, working their tails off all day ever day. They even exceeded my expectations by replacing some of the hardwood rather than refinishing it. No extra charge. My floors came out beautifully. It's my family home, in our family since 1940. I'm proud to show it off again thanks to John and his guys. The price was totally reasonable as well. I can't say enough about these guys. Total satisfaction. read more

John and his team are absolutely exceptional. From initial contact, to quote, to service provided was a 3-day span. Incredible! I called on a Tuesday afternoon to inquire about fixing some buckling in my fixer-upper as my baby is due any day now, and we were running out of time to fix it ourselves. John came over promptly the next morning to assess. He was very honest and compassionate about our situation. Gave us a rough estimate and explained what costs would be should work go beyond the expected scope. He sent Jorge out the following morning to start the work. Of course whoever installed these floors previously didn't do a fantastic job, which created more work for Jorge. Nonetheless, Jorge did everything he could to make everything smooth and seamless (pun intended). He was here longer than anticipated, but we are so happy with the service and glad that the tripping hazard is no more! The invoice was sent over in the next couple of days, EXACTLY as anticipated with the extra hours. So nice that everything was transparent and no curve balls were thrown!!!!! We are extremely happy with how everything went and will definitely be calling John again in the future. John and team are the best!!!! You won't be sorry utilizing them. read more

Maddie's Hardwood Flooring did a fantastic job on our floors. They removed our old tile floors and laid new white oak floors, which match/linked up with our existing white oak floors. They did a terrific job sanding and staining all the floors so they matched perfectly. We are thrilled with the outcome. read more

This is the second time I've had Mattie's Hardwood Flooring replace and refinish the hardwood floors in my home. The first was in 2022, when they did my entire 1850 sq. ft. house--4 bedrooms, dining, and living rooms. The floors still look brand new, are easy to maintain, and perfectly highlight the original oak wood grain. After a flood, the wood in the living room and primary bedroom closet was significantly damaged. Once again, John Mattie took charge, completing the job a week ahead of schedule and even leaving me with a Bona floor cleaning kit! The technician, Jorge, was courteous, efficient, and meticulous. Before applying the final finish, he offered four different stain options to ensure the perfect match and quality. The floors look absolutely stunning! I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Mattie's Hardwood Flooring to anyone looking to refinish their hardwood floors. read more

We had a dinning room that we needed a linoleum floor replaced with hardwood. We also had an a-joining kitchen that needed an existing hardwood floor to be repaired and refinished. We got five bids. The bid from John was the lowest of the five. I was hesitant to go with the lowest bid. After reading all the positive reviews that Matties had we decided to take a chance. We are so glad we did. Our job could not of went any smother. I tore out the linoleum to save money. When the installer arrived to install the new floor he said the subfloor was not level enough to install the new wood floor on. That part of our house is 75 years old and had settled some. The installer contacted John and for an extra fee they were able to level the floor. The extra amount that they charged was less than I thought it should have cost. The installers did an outstanding job with. Very little mess. The man that came into do the sanding covered everything to keep the dust off. The sanding does not produce much dust with the vacuums they use. The floor repair was a 3 foot square area by a sliding door. The repair matches the existing floor exactly. We have received so many complaints on the floor. I have worked with many contractors over the years. John is one of the best, very honest and makes sure you are satisfied with the job. read more

I have a 30-year old wide plank maple floor (installed by a prior owner) in most of the house, including the kitchen. The kitchen area showed signs of damage such as gaps and discoloration and several handypersons had attempted unsuccessful repairs of these areas using putty that simply cracked and fell out. Then ... a fridge leak caused severe damage to several kitchen floorboards and I was finally forced to seek professional help with my hardwood floor. Mattie's was highly recommended by a neighbor and they really came through. The specific flooring is no longer available so Mattie's crew had to use a narrower width of new flooring and work it in with the surrounding planks. They also repaired the minor existing gaps and discolored areas and refinished the entire floor. The results are simply breathtaking! The floors look gorgeous, with a sturdy layer of polyurethane nicely sealing everything. The crew is pleasant, professional and competent. I cannot recommend Mattie's Hardwood Floors highly enough. read more

Mattie's Hardwood Flooring did a great job refinishing our floors. They were easy to work with, very responsive and fair with their pricing. Their work was professional and meticulous. I would highly recommend them. read more

John Mattie's guys are miracle workers! We had a fridge leak that ruined a section of hardwood floor in the middle of our home, requiring a complicated "patch" job. Originally the repairs were done by a general contractor (supplied by the company liable for the damage); their job left the floor creaking and with major gaps between boards. They claimed it was "unavoidable" and that this was the best work we could expect for a patch job. John Mattie's guys, however, proved them wrong. Our floors are now seamless, we feel like we have our home back again! The job was definitely complex, but unlike the original contractors, John Mattie's guys did not cut corners to get the job done quickly. Instead, they worked late on the second day to finish the job so that our home would be intact for a BBQ we were hosting the next day. Highly recommend these guys (also, it cost roughly the same amount for the GREAT job they did as it did for the very poor original repair work). read more

I can't say enough good stuff about John Mattie and his work. I purchased a home in Santa Rosa but haven't moved there yet so handling everything from out of state. John worked out getting access to the house with my realtor, sent me a quote, and scheduled to work. Now I'm arriving to beautiful oak floors throughout the house. Thank you John! read more

We have 62 year old original hardwood floors that had never been refinished - they were stained, buckling and yellowing - making the red oak look more orange. I got quotes from a few contractors found here on Yelp and chose Mattie's because his quote was in the middle, and he said he could do it in a week and could get me on the schedule when I needed. Living/Dining room and two bedrooms, replacing baseboard and repairing all the damage. I didn't have high expectations knowing the age of the floor but OMIWERD! These floors have been revived and shine in all the wonderful glory that one could ever want in old floors. I am soooo unbelievably happy with the beautiful job and invisible repairs - the crew was very professional and the work was completed on time. This whole process was a lot of work (moving out and moving in and living elsewhere!) but Mattie's Hardwood made it easy. I highly recommend! read more

Recently had oak floors refinished by Mattie's Flooring. What a great experience working with this company. Their technicians were excellent and did a very good job while minimizing dust in our home. We have more floors to refinish and will definitely ask Mattie's to help us with this work. Highly recommended. read more

Overall: I asked to have the wall-to-wall carpet ripped out of my office and replaced with hardwood. On a scale of 1 to 10, the result was an 11. Reasons * the owner, John Mattie, was highly responsive when I asked for a quote, same for minor change orders, * the owner assign a very professional person, Sean, to be the guy who could do it all - great customer communication explained what was going to happen and gave an best guess timeline both while he was completing the job and what the floor covering would be doing on it's own after that - the old rug got removed without leaving an dust, parts of cushion, or pieces of rug for ME to deal with - he told me that installing the wood would be loud and approximately when he'd be done and and he performed to promise - i was extremely worried about the dust, because my bride is highly allergic. Sean place the vacuum OUTSIDE and ran the hose through the window. The sanding head had a hood that the allowed the vacuum to remove 99.5% of the dust inside. It's so tiny that you can't SEE the dust unless you run your finger across and look at your finger with a magnifying glass, AND both doors into the office were sealed TIGHT, and Sean came in and out by climbing through the window. - Sean told me how the NON water-based sealer would stink like h*ll but it would be gone over night. There was a bit of time when the seal was broken that it infected the house, but after that no more smell. _ Sean told me that the first coat would dry quickly with no smell because it was warm sunny day. He was spot on again. He told me he would be back in 4-5 hours for the second coat, got yanked into an emergency and was back in the morning got 'er done. I looked out the window and was fortunate to see that the world has NOT come to an end because of the delay. Before he started he taped one of MY fans into one of the windows to pull out the fumes the came out over the following 7 days. My office furniture went back in 7 days later and I left the "window fan" going on low to pull out the fumes. I have to wait a few weeks more before I bring in any rugs. Net net this is a job where the room is small you see every mistake if there is one, and can suffer with the loud, toxic, dirty and miserable attributes so that you're crazy if you don't move out for the duration. But this was a perfect "during COVID" job. Thanks to the size of my office, the access to the outside, and the skills and caring of John and Sean, almost non of that happened. (Damn leak in the protection for and hour). Totally satisfied in the result. And the process waaaaty exceeded my expectations. Again, on a scale of 1 to 10, it was an 11! I don't expect any project to go perfectly. What I do expect is that the great service providers take ownership of the problems and jump on them quickly. John and Sean deserve to give themselves a pat on the back for this project fer sure! The above is what I expect and GET from locally-owned businesses - true craftsmen who exemplify "Petaluma nice." read more

John worked closely with me to plan the installation of two room of engineered oak flooring and a staircase. His workers are artists! The flooring is beautiful and the price was VERY good. Don't hesitate to hire them. read more

This is a big job for a home so you have to be ready to have everything moved and we were able to leave town when it was done. John and his team at Mattie's hard wood flooring did a wonderful job on my floors. I had several problems that were resolved and a beautiful new stain color put on. It looks classic and rich tones of medium brown. I'm very happy with the results and would highly recommend this company. read more

John and his team are PROS and I'd hire them again! HD's carpet installer found beautiful 5-finger mosaic red and white oak parquet hardwoods in my bedroom. John promptly visited my home, knew exactly what to do and within days, Rafi and Victor came out to do the job. Victor cut the fingers in my driveway - they put the pieces together like a puzzle - it is an artform. They were on time, respectful, and like what they do - a far better experience than I had with HD's flooring team LOL. The price and timing was right - I happily recommend John Mattie and his team. Sincerely, jb read more

Okay, this was not cheap, but these guys did everything right, and they were able to deal with my demanding schedule (we just needed it done within a tight time frame). The floorers were super-conscientious, obviously know their craft, deployed the very best tools, and the outcome was simply gorgeous. When we met with John Mattie at the beginning to scope out the job, we felt kind of bad because the floor was really trashed, from dogs and worse, and we were worried it was beyond repair. John was great -- he said, no worries, we can fix it. And they sure did. read more

It only took me nearly 5 years to find the time to write this review but I have not forgotten that I wanted to. John Mattie and his crew were such a breeze to work with. John had me over to his home to look at his floor (which I immediately knew I wanted) and from there it was such a great experience working with them. From their expertise, cleanliness, kindness to understanding when we did hit inevitable snags, I cannot say enough great things about this company. Petaluma and surrounding areas are super lucky to have them close by. Our floors receive endless compliments. Highly recommend!! read more

We had a leak in our wall, and I needed to get an idea of how to of if we even needed to replace a part of our laminate flooring. John was very generous with his time and honest with his recommendations. When we do replace our floor, we'll be going with him. read more

I contracted with Mattie's for removal of tile and carpet on the first floor of my home and replacement with hardwood flooring. While I originally wanted to go with one option, he explained the pro's and con's and based on his input I ended up going a different route. I selected the specific mill for sourcing the wood and he was amenable to working with this. He itemized the proposal and removed the line item for carpet tear up so I could do this and save some money, which was much appreciated. The installation went exactly on schedule and the quality of the product is excellent. He also very patiently tolerated my back-and-forth on stain colors and provided samples of a variety of options to make my selection. I'm very particular about flooring and have to say I'm very pleased with the communication and work product so I plan to work with him again on a future home. Recommend without reservations. read more

We bought a house with hardwood floors that have those dark dowels in the ends of the boards (old fashioned) and then remodeled the kitchen. When we were done there were parts of the floor that needed patching, and my wife hated the dark dowels in the floor. John offered an interesting solution to drill out and replace the dark dowels with ones that would match the existing floor. They added matching wood to fill in the gaps in the floor from the kitchen remodel then sanded and refinished the whole floor. It turned out amazing! I'm very impressed with John and his business. He worked around our schedule and the schedule of other contractors at the house. Great service and a job very well done. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future if I have other hardwood flooring needs. read more

FANTASTIC SERVICE ON EVERY LEVEL! I had a small area to repair and small can be tricky when it comes to hardwood floors. I am extremely pleased with the finished project. WOW-- Call John Mattie for all of your hardwood flooring needs. He cares and provides top notch service on all levels read more

Spoke to John and he gave me very mindfull information about harwood floors. Thank you for great customer service!

A total remodel to my house has been done. So, I can say I have met the good contractors and the really bad ones. The bad ones I wish I never met. The day I picked up the phone to call John because of all the Yelp reviews, was the best decision I made. He was busy, but was able to come and see my project. I thank my lucky stars for sending him my way. John is an absolute gem of a contractor !! If I could give him TEN stars, I would. 1. He has true knowledge of what he does. 2. Is responsible and reliable. 3. Has fair prices. 4. Has pride on what he does, so he is meticulous and makes sure one ends happy with the end product. 5. Listens and makes sure all will be done to one's satisfaction. 6. He is organized. Thus, my job was done rather quickly and painless. All my fears of dust and smells were dissipated rather quickly. 7. Responds to phone, text and emails on a timely manner. 8. Has a gentle personality and manner, making it a pleasure to deal with him. My floors are from 1963 with a different style and a pattern. I wanted to restore them and bring a new more contemporary look. I met him at his shop to work on samples of stain and I could have an idea of what to expect. He was creative and understood what I was trying to achieve. He was able to deliver on what he said. I love my floors and the color he mixed. I need to say no more. I think you got the picture, if you read all of the above. read more

Mattie's crew did an absolutely beautiful job refinishing the hardwood floors in our home! They were prompt and professional throughout the process and the floors look brand new! The price for the work was much lower than I thought it would be. I highly recommend them! read more

I had Mattie come over to see if our squeaking engineered hardwood floors could be fixed. He gave us straightforward and informative feedback. We're probably out of luck, but if we need flooring services in the future, he'll be our first call. read more

Such a great job! Can't say enough good Things, John was so supportive and helped us through the whole process from picking which floor to quickly installing them so our busy family can start enjoying them! The whole team was professional and did a great job making our 1906 house feel fresh, new and no longer squeaky!! read more

First time working with John, and he and his team were great! They did a great job installing the floor and baseboards. I would hire them again! read more

My wife and I bought a 2nd home up in Petaluma and wanted to have some flooring work done. Ironically, we had read another YELP reviewer who had a similar situation, that is, trying to get some work done while still living 400+ miles away. We live in Orange County, and needed someone help us scope out the job and do the work while we were not always around. John came through for us as he did for the other YELP reviewer. He was professional, courteous, trustworthy, and helpful. He understood our situation and went the extra mile to check on our order from the flooring manufacturer for us, helped with the pick up and delivery of samples, etc. His work is excellent, and he is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend John! Jeff and Carmen Sobieraj read more

We had an area in our kitchen where the hardwood floors were pretty damaged. We did not want to replace the flooring, we just needed this one area repaired. All the flooring repairmen that looked at it said nothing could be done to fix them, and that we'd need to replace the flooring (which would mean replacing the flooring on the entire first floor of our house). Then someone recommended Mattie's Hardwood Flooring. The owner himself, John Mattie, came and assessed the floors and determined that he could fix them, though he warned that the patina would be different from the surrounding un-damaged area. John was great to work with. He was quick to respond, scheduled us in quickly, was upfront, and he managed expectations beautifully. In fact, he exceeded expectations. His workman Sean, that did the job, was very polite, efficient, and did an excellent job of color matching the stain and sheen to the existing floor. He is a true artist. In fact, unless you are looking for it, you can't even tell where the repaired area transfers over to the existing floor. We are beyond happy with the beautiful results of Mattie's Hardwood Flooring. I highly recommend John Mattie and his team. read more

John and his guys are a really good group of tradesman. They take a hard job and make it look easy. On time, on point, and on budget, Mattie knows how to follow through. We remodeled our 2500 sq/ft house in Petaluma and spent a significant amount of money buying hardwood floors. John gave a fair quote for the install and his team handled our materials with care making sure to lay everything precisely and according to the manufacturers specifications. Anything that was overlooked or needing touching up was addressed immediately by John Mattie himself. Thx John for making our house look beautiful! read more

I just want to compliment John and his crew for a job well done. John did a very good job on our flooring, they quickly removed the old carpet and ugly vinyl from our house and installed beautiful oak wood flooring, l was especially impressed with Johns attention to detail. This floor is perfect. Every day we look at it its like art at our feet. When it came time to pay the final bill he said it was less than his original quote. Honest, fast and clean. read more

We wanted to take out all our carpeting in the house and replace it with hardwood floors (big task). We got a referral for John Mattie. He was super nice, professional, and the quote he gave was very fair. It took us awhile to decide on the floors but we finally found the right one. A few things we love about him is that he was honest and communicated well. He calls/emails back right away. The crew men were all really nice guys and professional. We had to live in the house for parts of the install but they worked around our family. John pays very close attention to detail (a big plus that you don't see with contractors a lot of times). Overall we were very happy with everything and would definitely recommend Mattie's Hardwood Flooring to anyone! read more

From my initial review (In response to the comment by business owner) "The simple fact is John is an absentee business owner who talks a good game but doesn't deliver. When something goes wrong he makes excuses and plays the poor me card rather than acting like a professional and fixing the problem. It's been two weeks since my last conversation with him where we disagreed over the right corrective action. He said he would call me back in a couple days after "letting me cool down" There has been no word from him of course and I don't expect he will ever "Do the right thing" If you are considering a flooring contractor I would avoid this company at all costs. " In response to the business owners comments, I was never offered to have an additional coat applied to the floor and we were never able to come to an agreeable amount for having the house cleaned. John failed to call me back after our last conversation which I waited two weeks for before posting this review. A check appeared in the mail where he determined on his own that $50.00 would be a fair payment for cleaning the house. Not sure that's the going rate for house cleaners, but ok. The comment about cleaning the floors was the guy he sent over at the end of the day when his trim guy left with granite dust foot prints all over the place. I get it. I am stuck living with this problem now and shouldn't have handed over the final payment assuming he would "do the right thing" read more

I just had John and his crew install new white oak hardwood throughout my entire home. They are professional and expedient while ensuring that their finished product is quality work. I'm quite happy with the results and am both elated and relieved with the result. It was stressful trying to navigate the different options for installation, from material choices to the installation process. I had estimates given to me from a variety of sources, including a big box store (out of curiosity) and a few other local retail and contracting outfits. Mattie's was a pretty clear choice for me. His rate for both the materials and the labor was either very close to, or below the other local estimates. Even if he had been a bit more expensive I probably would have gone with him anyway. John has a great combination of traits - a low-key demeanor that also exudes a level of competence that engendered trust upon our first meeting. While measuring for the estimate I hadn't fully decided on the wood species or the stain. He was really helpful in providing suggestions that guided me toward my final choice rather than being didactic - he even made up a generously sized sample board with two different stain choices that was a huge help in making my final color decision. A the time of the estimate, John was upfront in stating that he was fairly booked in the near term and gave me a firm start date that was a week or two farther out than I had hoped - but said he'd do his best to fit me in if I were able to be flexible. Sure enough, he was able to squeeze me in between other jobs over the course of a couple weeks and it all ended up being done before we even reached the original start date. All in all it was as painless as any kind of major home altering work can be. His crew seemed tight, comprised of talented and friendly workers who were focused on getting the job done right, including his stair specialist, Weston Adams, who did a beautiful job not only on the treads and risers, but the skirt board flanking the steps as well. A big thanks to John and the guys for all their work. read more

We had John replace all of the old carpeting in our bedrooms and stairs with beautiful new oak floors and refinish the existing wood floors in our other rooms. He was very easy to work with, communicated clearly with us every step of the way, did excellent work, and was very prompt and proactive...all for a very reasonable price. We have a connected apartment that will need new floors at some point soon and John is the only person we will consider. read more

We got tons of referrals for Mattie Hardwood Flooring and they lived up to every word. They refinished our old wood floors and they look brand new! John and his crew are very professional and super easy to work with. We definitely recommend Mattie Flooring and will be returning customers if we move again in the future. read more

John did a fabulous job installing oak hardwood flooring in our living room, kitchen and hallway. He began by arriving on time and offering a competitive bid. His very confident manner convinced us that he was the one to trust with the assignment. He followed up by doing what he said he was going to do, again showing up each day, on time, and with a strong work ethic. He removed the wall-to-wall carpeting we had in the living room and hallway and pried up the vinyl flooring and matting we had in the kitchen. Surprise! The builder failed to put in the plywood sub-flooring he needed to level out the floor between the kitchen and LR. No problem. John took care of it. We were as impressed with the young men he hired to help him as we were with John. They were pleasant to have around and cleaned up after themselves when they left each day. We were actually stunned at how little dust residue there remained in and around the kitchen, when the job was completed. The devil is in the details, and John finished by demonstrating that his attention to detail is excellent. And, oh yeah, we love the finished product. From our perspective, it is a work of art. Thank you, John. Paul Millard and Nirmala Dole read more
