I needed to have my floor repaired after removing an old gas floor furnace in my living room. Since it's in the main part of the house, I really wanted the repair to match the original flooring as closely as possible. I texted Paul some pictures, and he was able to give me a quote over the phone. Once I agreed to move forward, he got me scheduled pretty quickly. Luis came out and explained what needed to be done. Since the original composite floor panels are no longer made, he had to cut individual pieces of white oak to match the exact size and keep the original look of the panels. You could tell a lot of time and care went into it. After carefully piecing everything together, he sanded and finished it to match the original color of the floor. Honestly, when it was done, I could not tell the difference. The repair blended in perfectly with the original floor. Really impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. I'd definitely recommend Paul's Wood Flooring. read more

I recently had my flooring and stairs redone with LVP with Paul and his crew, Carlos and Brayan. From the beginning, Paul made everything streamlined and even helped recommend local flooring providers and outlets to go look for the LVP that we wanted to install and even helped coordinate between his crew and the flooring supplier for the delivery date and work start date, making the job easier for me. Once the work began, Carlos, Brayan, and Paul made sure to keep us in the loop of any installation issues/concerns they had as well as provided their recommendations on how to approach each issue. Carlos and Brayan were also very respectful of our space and made sure to clean up at the end of each day and move things back around to make the space still livable before taking off for the next day. It has been about 2 months since we had the flooring redone, and the floors still look great and I highly recommend going with Paul and his team for any flooring projects! read more

Paul is amazing!!! Look no further for a hard wood flooring expert; he is the very best at his craft. Paul is an absolute perfectionist and consummate professional. We had a much more challenging job than anticipated, as our floors needed to be leveled prior to the installation, but Paul used his expertise to ensure that it was done right. He is honest and communicates with you consistently throughout the process. He even took out the time to help choose the type of flooring that would work best for our aesthetic and lifestyle. For the quality of his work, his rates are very reasonable and he itemizes the cost for transparency. His crew is also amazing. They have a vast amount of experience and knowledge about flooring. They were also pleasant to have around during the process, had great customer service skills and kept us abreast of their progress as well as any challenges that were encountered. You can't do any better than Paul's flooring. I am so pleased with the outcome, and you will be too! read more

A true professional. He is personable and friendly. He clearly explains his process and how the end product will look. Extremely knowledgeable about how to install flooring products and how to maximize its life span. He is a skillful craftsman and carefully goes about laying the flooring material and fitting the edges and seams that provides a look that will bring a smile to your face! Paul and his assistant, Carlos, are second to none when it comes to flooring installation. read more

I just got his flooring in. Paul's greatest attribute is his level of detail. I really appreciate how much time he spent to line up and space planks. HIs eye for level, lines and form epitomizes his professionalism. For me, he also spent a good amount of time making a beautiful 10ft custom stair nose made of white oak. Finally, I appreciated how he assured his installation quality and to not hesitate to bring up any issue I face in the future. Knowing his service continues even after the installation underscores why Paul is a true professional contractor read more

Paul and his crew were great. My new vinyl floor was installed within 3 days and he went above and beyond to do this with the added problem of coming up with a solution for safely keeping my 2 dogs out of the way. My floors look beautiful and I am a happy camper. I also feel that Paul's fees for his work are very fair. read more

If you want the job done right, hire Paul. I reached out to Paul because I read that he specialized in leveling floors. My floors were terribly unlevel and I needed a real pro to handle the job. I had already whiffed twice with two other flooring installers and was left with a flooring mess. I was adamant that the third time would be the charm and Paul did not let me down. I could tell from the first time I met Paul that he knew what he was doing and that I had chosen the right guy this time. I was pretty upfront with Paul about my situation and that I couldn't afford for this to not go well again. Paul assured me that he's been doing this for 30 years and has done many jobs more complicated than mine. Ultimately, a total of 40 (50lb) bags of self leveling concrete were used (across parts of 1000sqft). Paul was incredibly detail oriented and made sure the leveling job was done right before starting on the flooring install. This required additional concrete pours and some additional time, but Paul ended up staying late to finish multiple times to avoid extending our timeline as much as possible. Very appreciated. I also appreciated that Paul himself did much of the work. Paul had also recommended a flooring outlet to purchase the flooring from and they ended up being great as well (shoutout to Kingsly Hardwood Flooring in City of Industry). Thank you so much Paul! read more

Paul and his crew did a unique job for us: we needed the floor HVAC vents removed and the wood flooring repaired as if there was never a hole. The team did a phenomenal job. They removed the vents, replaced the material underneath the flooring (mostly plywood, but they also had to deal with some other materials depending on the room), and put new flooring in. You can't tell there were ever vents present. They completed the job in a reasonable amount of time and we were very happy with the final price. We were so pleased with the service and price that we recommended the company to a friend. read more

This review is over due by 13 years and will be a long read. Let me explain. In 20012 I did a complete remodel of my home that included 1000 sft of engineered hardwood. Paul did this work on his own, no helper, and did an AMAZING job and I had many complements. over the next few years Paul came back to fix and replace some of the flooring that had been destroyed by termites. Excellent work again. fast forward to 2022 and I built a new home. My contractor had one of his guys install the wood floors and they were never quite right. So after 18 months we found dark spots in large areas of the flooring. These turned out to be moisture and ruined flooring that had not been properly installed. This meant I had to re-buy all of the wood and adhesives and moistue barrier, $16,000 (material only), have 1900 sqft of wood removed, the floors leveled properly (to include grinding highspots) and 16 bags of self leveling material. You have no idea the mess and expense. Knowing Pauls work and his work ethic, I called and he came. It took 5 weeks and was an absolute mess but Paul and his team were professional, accomodating, and treated my home like it was thiers, no damage. The finished result was stunning and I could not have asked for anything more. I consider Paul a close friend and can tell you that he and the guys will be the only flooring team that I will ever use or recomend.

We hired Paul's Wood Flooring to repair the disaster-of-a-job our previous contractor did on our floors. From start to finish Paul and his team were detailed and precise in their work. He was transparent and walked us through the work that was needed on the subfloor. The install was just as thorough and careful. We have a giant granite island and the cuts for the flooring around it are exact and clean. It's a seamless transition. The steps down to our living room were also repaired. They now feel secure and strong and they look great. Paul and his team are true professionals. They showed up everyday on time. Before they left each day, our home was cleaned (as much as you can clean a construction site). Our floors look brand new, feel solid and sturdy. The cuts and install are clean and precise. We are very happy with the finished product. I would recommend Paul and his team to family, friends and neighbors with no reservations. As a plus to his skilled craftsmanship and superb end-product, Paul was a pleasure to work with. He and his team were courteous and just nice people. He has a genuine passion for his work and the people he serves. read more

Paul deserves the five-star rating. He knows his business, his technician Luis and crew do outstanding work, the price is fair and quality is admirable. We had our seven-year-old floors redone, it's now like new. Given the amount of dust that's inevitable when you refinish a floor, Luis and his crew did a good job covering everything possible and cleaning up afterward. Paul also gave me good advice of how to keep the floors looking good, what products are worthwhile and not worth the money (hint: Bona is THE company for hardwood care), and came by to inspect the work a couple of days later just to make sure everything was in order. I'm keeping his number on my phone in case I need more work done or if anyone needs a recommendation. read more

Go nowhere further for your flooring needs...Paul's Wood Flooring is the one! ********************* Spoiler Alert: Paul did such a wonderful job for me that I had no hesitation to use his team again for completely replacing the flooring at my in-laws' property a month after he worked on mine. Another job well done! ********************** Let me just start off by saying that I'm not local to the Los Angeles area. I had to rely on my instinct and the help of modern-day technology (primarily video calls) when seeking to replace and refinish my Torrance rental property's flooring. I read and researched reviews on Yelp and Nextdoor as well as obtained referrals from local area realtors. I settled on Paul's Wood Flooring because he was the most thorough, logical, and just plain "knows his stuff." Additionally, his pricing was competitive with the other bids I received. Just to provide some color to what was done. The downstairs of the townhouse already has maple wood flooring, but there were scruff marks everywhere. The solution Paul and I agreed upon was to refinish and reseal the maple wood. For the upstairs (and the stairs leading upstairs), we decided to use waterproof vinyl flooring. Paul even recommended the flooring supplier to us -- another stellar referral! Paul's team did an excellent job, and he was clearly present every step of the way. We exchanged many texts, pictures, video calls, phone calls, etc. We ran into some major leveling issues, but Paul was calm and carefully explained what he'd do to remedy the situation. Be assured that Paul will do the best flooring job for you and not cut corners while doing so! read more

I am so happy to leave this review for Paul's wood flooring and his crew. I had an incredible experience from start to finish. If you want professional service at an excellent price, Paul is the guy to call. First off, I got quotes from other companies. One thing other companies lacked is the licensed contractor on site. The whole point of getting the job done right is that the contractor has the knowledge and experience to do it right the first time. Other companies will send out crews, with a crew manager who generally isn't licensed to manage the job. Anyways, with that said, Paul was there nearly every day to manage and inspect the work, Paul even performed much of the leveling himself. Furthermore, Paul came and measured the area himself, square footage as well as linear feet for the baseboards. His measurements were exact, so I felt strong integrity with the pricing, where other companies will over inflate the surface are for more money. His pricing was transparent, didn't require a major deposit, and the additional charges at the end I felt were fair and necessary for fixing the subfloor and doing the job the right way. Additionally, Paul has been doing this for 30 years, he knows the trade and the craft. He does the job the right way the first time without asking questions. If they run into issues (which is more than normal since you cant see under old floors) he fixes it - no questions asked. The demo, quality, and professionalism was top notch. The timing was fair to do it the right way. My 1600 sqft house - demo 2 layers of floor, new plywood, and installation of floors and baseboards only took 8 1/2 DAYS. Pick Paul's wood flooring for your flooring needs. You will not regret your decision. Thank you Pau for taking away my old, uneven, squeaky, hideous floors and bringing in so much appeal. read more

Paul has 30 years of experience in wood floor installation and local floor store I visited also gave good praise of his work. You can trust Paul for his crew's work and have a peace of mind. read more

Just drive across town to the address on Yelp. It's a house. No where on yelp does it state that. Looks like a regular wood shop where you can pick out floors. I wish Yelp would stop allowing people to do this. And people like Paul should not post their home address. I mean really? read more

Really happy with the finished product! Paul gave me a good price to remove the old carpet and refinish the wood underneath. Javier came out to do the work and was extremely helpful with all of our needs. A+ read more

Ok, i am in the middle of our bamboo hardwood livingroom install so maybe this review is premature, but, naw, it's not. Paul was the first one to stop by and he gave me a fair quote based on the knowns at the time. Paul and his 2 of a bevy of wood craftsmen showed up on confirmed. From day one, Paul started to work on the quoted install. Within a few hours, other issues came up that Paul gladly and professionally addressed. Specifically, uneven sub floor. He advised before hand the method to be used to measure deflection and the acceptable range without having to perform work to correct. ( in this case, he showed me the excessive deflection and recommended solution, self leveling). That and a few other inherent issues, like iron rail issues that hit the stair bull nose, were addressed and corrected to ensure a satisfactory installation. Needless to say, Paul and his skilled woodworkers are ensuring a "perfect" installation. Side note, i requested over 7 quotes for this job. Some showed, one gave me quote over the phone, several followed up after bid submitted. Paul's bid was the fairest of all and yes, there are change orders as we expected with our install, he charges fairly. Especially since what we all thought was a straight forward install, turned into a custom one because of all the skeletons we uncovered that needed to be addressed and Paul remedied to ensure finished install is a quality one. Paul does some of the big stuff himself and stops in and confirms details with client and crew daily. Romero, job super, is here daily. And Janero is here every day, doing a professional job. (I hear he is the top wood worker, and it shows in the final product) The three consult daily on how to address the work flow and approach. Paul's Wood Flooring is The BEST! And coming from the daughter of a master carpenter, that endorsement does not come easily. Here are some photos of the install detail. Thank Paul, Romero and Janero for a great looking and soundly installed living room and stairs. We waited a year with subfloors, so we appreciate the attention and time to details in getting right! read more

We received 3 different quotes for vinyl flooring for our entire house. Paul's was the best and their customer service was amazing. They began the job and ended the job on time, not a day later. Every day of the job the crew arrived and worked the entire day. Every aspect of the job was communicated to us, when more flooring needed to be purchased, transitions needed to be purchased, where to purchase flooring, etc. One of the most memorable aspects of the job was when Zvonko recognized that one of the boxes of flooring that had been laid was slightly off in color, he had the crew pull up the planks and start over. Further, when the job was complete he came over to our house personally to ensure that the floors were polished and presented to us in a manner that reflected the company's commitment to providing quality service. Our house looks absolutely amazing. It's a brand new house as far as we're concerned and if I had another flooring job to do I would hire Paul's four times over. Not only was the workmanship incredible, the customer service completely surpassed our expectations. There were no incentives for us to post this review what, I am truly happy and satisfied customer. read more

Thank you! Paul wood flooring. You went above and beyond my expectations.

After moving into my new condo, I love my new floors more and more each day. Even my very meticulous, tiger mom approves of Paul and team's work. You can tell the level of professionalism by examining the details of the floors (like are there bumps or ridges, are there gaps in places you normally don't look, do any of the edges show, etc). The installation took a bit longer than I expected but it was well worth the wait for the quality of craftsmanship. Paul was also very responsive and communicates frequently. read more

I truly believe Paul is a good guy and wants to be fair. Kind of. He did a new hardwood floor install in our kitchen and laundry that was, bid right on par with another bid we got. So not less expense that other contractors. All was fine with the install but when it came to the finish work of the sanding and coating, his team lead by Luis did a terrible job. They left these very visible, deep sanding "swirls" left by the sander all over the floor. Then varnished on top of it. AND dented our fridge with the sander. Paul was initially resistant to any kind of credit for the dented fridge but came around to a mutually compromised $200. His finisher, Luis begrudgingly had to come back multiple times to fix the floor, inconveniencing us each time, because he failed to do the job right the first time. Including, an uncomfortable conversation where he insisted he added finish coat under our fridge, which he clearly did not! He finally did the finish coat under the fridge (which should have been moved by the way as I suggested but Luis insisted on leaving it in place thus causing a host of issues). After he added a finish coat under the fridge and was ready to leave I looked at the work and it was sloppy with dark splotches at the fridge threshold. Again he had to fix it. There are still very noticeable imperfections throughout our kitchen and laundry room flooring caused by the sander and generally poor finish work...but I gave up. And no credit or real apology from Paul, the owner, only a request that I understand how hard it is to get good workers. Something along those lines. I should add, to Paul's credit, prior to all the finishing mess, too much wood flooring was ordered based on bad measurements and he agreed to buy it back. He could have stuck us with $400 worth of wood flooring but he didn't. Based on reading his many good reviews, (which is why I hired him) I'm not sure what happened but all told we left with a lot of disappointment. Sorry to say. read more

Great quality and price. I needed someone to rebuff and recoat my oak hardwood floor and Paul did an excellent job. They refinish the floors when I was on vacation and when I came back the floors looked great and the house was very clean and without dust. Price was the most competitive of three quotes that I requested. Highly recommended! read more

Paul and his team changed the look of our bedrooms. In our new home, the original hardwood floors were old and in desperate need of revitalization. Paul and his team made them anew. I still cannot believe they are the same floors. Paul and his team were able to refurbish the floors in the two bedrooms over one weekend. I would happily use Paul for my flooring needs in the future. read more

I can't say enough about Paul and his team. I needed to re-floor two bedrooms and have custom built baseboards and casings to match the rest of my house. Paul had a short window of time during which he was available. He not only rearranged his schedule to fit us in, but the work he did was impeccable. Our home was built in 1919 and has design quirks everywhere. Not everything lines up. It's a challenge to create the illusion of clean, consistent lines, but thankfully Paul was up to the task. His craftsmanship was superb and his team transformed our two rooms. In addition, their price was competitive and they never attempted to overcharge or mislead. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and will recommend his crew to anyone we know. read more

Go with a floor specialist, not a general contractor! After unsuccessfully visiting several floor shops that do installation (they didn't have what I wanted), I decided to source the floor that I wanted from a floor supplier and then separately hire someone to install them. This was the best decision I ever made because I found Paul. He was a diamond of a find for three reasons. 1. Paul is resourceful. When I told Paul the type of floor I wanted, he found me a different vendor and saved me $1000! He even picked up my floors for me for a small fee. The whole process was seamless. 2. Skilled and experienced. Paul has over 15 years of strictly wood / floor experience. He took the time to level my floors before installing them, which was a painstaking process. I had a general contractor at my house while Paul was doing my floors to quote me for random fixes, and he even commented on Paul's work. Paul did it the right way and didn't cut corners the way many floor people will. 3. Professional. Paul is the nicest man you will ever meet. He is polite, considerate and has the most exceptional work ethic you will ever find. He treats your home like his. He takes his time. And so do his workers who have also been with him for over a decade. They are always punctual. They clean up each day. Paul was such a pleasure to be around, my husband and I were sad to see him go. Who can say this about a worker during a renovation process? In short, Paul is the man. I wish he did other things besides floors. I would hire him in a heartbeat. But he only focuses on floors, which is probably what makes him so good at what he does! read more

If you're looking for a qualified, genuinely nice person to work on your hardwood floors, Paul is your guy. During the recent rainstorms, we incurred some water damage to the wood floors by the rear patio door. It wasn't a "big project", but it was distressing as some areas buckled. From the moment we met Paul, he showed he cared and the job was skillfully completed. We would highly recommend him to our family and friends would contact him again for any of our flooring needs! read more

We hired Paul and his crew to remove flooring throughout our home (tile, carpet and Pergo), and install engineered hardwood. Total of 1,910 sq ft. Paul's crew, Ramiro and Genaro, were amazing!!! A+ all the way!!! They both arrived to work on time, 8:30 every morning, and they leave around 4:30 - 5:00. For anyone who has hired a contractor in the past, you understand how important it is for the crew to arrive on time, and to arrive on the days they say they will work. Ramiro and Genaro do not miss a beat. They work throughout the day, and pick up after themselves at the end of their shift. Again, cleanliness from your contractor is a huge plus. They are as clean as you can be considering this is such a dirty job. Removing tile is a mess, but they controlled the dust as well as possible. The second floor of our home had a few large uneven spots, and many squeaks. Ramiro and Genaro evened out the floors perfectly with compound and sanding, mitigated the dust as well as possible (again the dust is unavoidable), and also repaired the sub floors to remove all of the squeaks (and there were a lot of squeaks). No more squeaks!! YES!!!! After the old flooring was removed and the sub floors prepped, the engineered hardwood was installed. Their work is impeccable! My wife and I couldn't be happier with the final result. The project took 3 1/2 weeks to finish (included 14 steps, a landing and baseboards). To some people this may seem like a long time frame, but the end result is worth it. Ramiro and Genaro put a lot of effort into their work to ensure it is done correctly. Their work is not sloppy at all! I would not hesitate to recommend Paul, Ramiro and Genaro if you need to have your old flooring removed and new engineered hardwood installed. read more

Paul saved my life, my workers scratched a wood floor as we were removing some furniture items and he came and did a miracle. I could see that he really cared about my dilemma and he went way over the call of duty in helping me same day. I can't give him enough stars. Thank you so much Paul :) read more

Paul did a great job for me and was able to complete the work that week!!!

Got a couple quotes to redo the carpeting on the 1st floor of our house with engineered wood and ended up going with Paul. Paul's quote was more inclusive than everyone else, but what set him apart was his responsiveness and accountability. Furthermore, he noticed issues with the subfloor that no other company noticed just from walking on the carpet. His level of attention even in the quoting process gave me confidence in my decision. It's been hard finding reliable contractors lately and working with Paul was very refreshing. Paul and his workers always showed up on time and took great precautions to make sure the dust and dirt was not tracked around the rest of the house. They were also very diligent about cleaning up and removing all the trash as they worked. They went slightly over schedule only because the damage to some of the subfloor was worse than anticipated. I'm glad it went over schedule though and was fixed correctly instead of trying to do some band-aid fix that would cause more issues in the future. They were also able to work around my billiards table and piano without having to hire someone to remove them. After several months I noticed that there were some corners that lifted slightly and Paul came by again to check over the work and remedy the issue. He stands by his work and his level of attention is great. If I ever need to do hardwood flooring in another home I will definitely go with Paul again. read more

2 of 3 bedrooms in our home had hardwood flooring that was marred in several places and one of these same rooms had wood planks of a smaller width. We thought we had to replace flooring in all 3 bedrooms per a consultation we had had with another "flooring specialist". We decided to get multiple opinions and we're so glad to have found Paul's Wood Flooring. When Paul came to consult with us on what we wanted and thought we needed - he immediately offered honest feedback about what was 'really needed' and what was "Not necessary". We are so happy with the results!! Paul and his team delivered terrific workmanship, they were very attentive to the smallest of details, the timeline we agreed to up front was met, and the overall costs were much lower than we had originally anticipated before we called Paul. Paul is an honest business owner and a true craftsman - a rare find these days in many lines of work. We are very happy with the results and will most definitely call on Paul again for any and all future flooring work that we may need. Thank you, Paul! -Carmen H. read more

They did an Excellent job on my older home. They refinished and repaired. They also did custom colour for the floors.

I highly recommend Paul and his crew headed by Javier. The crew was extremely courteous and did a killer job putting the new floor in our Century City condo. They also replace the molding and did extra work to make sure we were happy. We are very happy with the results. You need the work done, these are the guys to do it. read more

It took a few days for him to come to the house for an estimate. Took 3 business days for the estimate and request for approval.

We found Paul on Yelp and requested a bid, and then when soliciting other bids, we got another name "Paulo" highly recommended to us by a contractor friend who said they heard he did high quality work. Turns out Paul and Paulo were the same! We found Paul to be honest, hardworking, with great attention to detail and customer service. Him and his crew (led by Romero when Paul wasn't there personally) worked hard to level the uneven floors of our old ranch house, even repairing/replacing the subfloor where necessary, and to install engineered hardwood and baseboard throughout the house. There were a few things that needed to be fixed at the end of the installation and Paul stood behind his work and service commitment to fix those with the same attention to quality. We would highly recommend Paul's Wood Flooring to anyone, whether jobs are large or small! read more

We absolutely loved the way our hardwood floors turned out after Paul and his team refinished them!
