We had THE most amazing experience with Raphael Hardwood Flooring. The church I work for, Radiant Life Church, was in the process of remodeling one of our rooms to use as a conference room. When we ripped out the carpet in this room, we discovered a virtually damage free wood floor, however it was full of carpet staples and black glue. Our volunteers weren't comfortable doing the restoration process on their own, so we decided to call contractors in the area to get pricing on professional restoration. A local contractor recommended Raphael Hardwood Flooring to us. I called their office to schedule a visit for an estimate, and Josh called me back the same day. He was quite amenable to our scheduling needs and we found a good time for both of us. We had a great conversation & he said that his family had actually attended church at our facility many years ago when it was the old Temple Baptist church. It took him maybe 10 -15 minutes to measure the room, and we discussed what our needs were and what our plan for that room would be. On our way back out to the front of the church, we were talking about the lobby, and I mentioned that we were looking at getting new carpeting for the lobby as well. He offered to take more measurements right there on the spot, and then send me carpet samples and provide a quote when we were ready to proceed with that job. Literally five minutes after he left, I had a quote from Josh for the refinishing of the conference room floor. The pricing was incredible, so I called him back later in the day to schedule the job. The original work date was about two weeks out, but we got a call from their office manager saying that they had a cancellation and wanted to get us on the schedule for that week. Their worker came out exactly when they said he would. He was very nice, and even helped us move a few items out of the room in order to do the work. The job was finished after only two days, and the floors look amazing!! I've posted before and after pictures in their picture section. We were so pleased with their customer service and the quality of their work that we are hiring them to re-carpet our church's lobby. Such an incredible group of generous and gracious people who know the true meaning of customer service. I've been recommending them to anyone who's looking for refinishing or carpet work. read more

We would highly recommend Raphael Hardwood Flooring. We moved into a new home which had damaged and discolored maple floors. We got about four quotes for the floors to be refinished in a darker color. Everyone either said they could not refinish maple or they could but it would not turn out to be the color we wanted (even the "top" flooring companies in our area). We chose Raphael flooring because they came in with complete confidence that they would be able to do the work we were looking for. We couldn't have made a better decision. Billy did the work on our floors. He was extremely courteous, friendly, professional, and flexible. We requested a color that required some blending and he worked with us until the color we wanted was achieved. Our floors look amazing now! Exactly how we had envisioned them. The work exceeded our expectations! The customer service was great too. We had to reschedule and push back our work date twice because of issues we kept having with our kitchen remodel. Raphaels was Very flexible with us and were always easy to get a hold of. The owner Joshua even called me on the last day of our project to make sure we were happy with everything. Great company! Great work! read more

Josh Raphael is the wizard of wood. 35 years ago we installed random-plank 3/4 in thick hardwood flooring in a couple of rooms in our house. Ten years ago we remodeled and installed similar flooring in additional rooms. Unfortunately the original product was no longer available so we matched as nearly as possible but were not able to match the color exactly. Both had a factory applied wax finish and although beautiful, were high maintenance and very slippery. Recently, we decided to have both sections refinished and contacted Josh. His fantastic crew sanded off all of the prior finish and applied a five step stain/coating, finishing with a product called "Bona Traffic" which has all the depth of the wax but meets national traction safety standards and is virtually bullet proof. The two sections' color now match perfectly. His crew used (and knew how to use) the finest equipment (his primary sander's instruction were in German and drew about 6 kilowatts from our clothes dryer outlet). Very little sanding dust escaped his dust suppression equipment. The attention to detail was almost obsessive. Highly recommended. read more

We were amazed at the condition of the hardwood floors under our wall-to-wall carpeting that had outlived it's purpose. Raphael (Josh) was able to bring back the original finish and add new hardwood flooring to other rooms that when completed the difference between the old & the new was indistinguishable. We feel that hardwood floors will maintain their value longer than any other floor covering we considered. We are satisfied that the investment was well worth it. The quality of craftsmanship is evident in the finished product. The hardwood floors are the first thing remarked about when visitors enter our house. Raphael reliably and dependably, went to extraordinary lengths to complete the project within the prescribed time limits in spite of contractor scheduling conflicts beyond his control. We would definitely use Raphael Hardwood Flooring again and are entirely comfortable in recommending Raphael to our friends. It was a pleasure dealing with Raphael throughout the project. There was a total spirit of cooperation and professionalism in determining detail in the design of the finished product read more

I'm writing to express my extreme frustration and concern about the reckless driving behavior of one of your drivers. On the freeway, they were driving at a dangerously slow speed of 40 mph in the fast lane, cutting off other drivers who were traveling at 80 mph. When they decided to slow down to 30 mph, they slammed on the brakes without warning, causing me to swerve to avoid a collision. This put me at risk of crashing into their truck and another vehicle. This behavior is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to the safety of other road users. I will be reporting this incident to the California Highway Patrol, and I have dash cam footage to support my account. I urge you to take immediate action to address this driver's behavior and ensure that all your drivers are trained to follow the rules of the road and drive defensively. This includes respecting the speed limits, using signals when changing lanes, and avoiding sudden stops." read more

Raphael Hardwood Flooring is quite simply... amazing! I direct a non-profit counseling center for at-risk teens and their families. I had scheduled an open house for the community despite the obvious deterioration of the hideous (aged) blue carpet, the missing floor boards near the main entrance and some other structural damage to the floor. After careful consideration and advice I canceled the open house and contacted RHF. Within a week RHF transformed this counseling center! RHF made several repairs and brought in beautiful laminate flooring! The RHF staff are professional, timely, respectful, polite and a joy to be around... even in the midst of a project and busy schedule! Words cannot express how RHF has brought joy, hope and respect back into a formerly depressed, deteriorating and tired center, staff and clients (who can't stop smiling when they see the difference!). Thank you! read more

"We had our hardwood floors done over ten years ago and Joshua was working for another hardwood floor company. We were extremely satisfied with his work and the quality of it. We had small children in the house and his cleanliness did not interfere with our children's ability to have free roam of the house. When we moved around the corner five years ago we wanted to have our floors redone and match an existing seventy year old floor. We looked for Joshua at his previous employer and found that he had gone out on his own. We were not hesitant to have him refinish the oak floors throughout our entire home. His state of the art equipment and ability to allow us to be present while he completes his work is something that will bring Raphael Hardwood Flooring back to us if we ever decide to hardwood our kitchen floors." read more

When I phoned Raphael to schedule an installatIon date, I learned my estimate from 3 years ago was still valid! Wow! The installation process was done on a timely basis, with little or no dust. The men were quiet while working and each step was done precisely as expected. Our f loor was walnut, laid directly on a padding over the tile. We did NOT have to remove the tile. This company is one of the few who do this. We could not be happier with our new floor. It is so easy to maintain, looks lovely and warm and adds so much to our home of 20 years. Thank you Raphel Flooring. I have recommended you already to friends.. Dee S. read more

Beautiful Job !!! I was so excited to get rid of our stained carpets in our hallways. We had Raphael lay hardwood and install baseboards in our entry way and hallways. What a difference to the overall look and feel of our house. They were very patient and helpful, as it took me a while to decide on exactly the right wood. The project was completed on time and the installers were friendly and prompt. I love opening my front door to beautiful hardwood floors. We'll see you in the spring to continue the wood through our living room and dining room :))) read more

I needed my existing hardwood refinished and new wood installed in our dining room and hallway, and chose Josh Raphael as he had been recommended by friends. I couldn't be happier with my new floors! Our installer Igor paid so much attention to detail, he took the time to do the prep work right (the sign of a good craftsman), the transitions are seamless, he repaired our squeaks in our existing floorboards and the old and new floors flow beautifully. I can't wait to have my family over for the holidays! Thanks Team Raphael!! read more
