We were getting ready to replace the engineered wood floors in our 25-year-old home. They looked dull, worn, and were covered in scratches (from our 2 very big dogs). Before committing to the expense of new flooring, our neighbor suggested we look into refinishing them instead. I'm so glad we took that advice! I reached out to Walk On Wood and spoke with Gary. He came out promptly to give us an estimate and was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. After inspecting the floors, he confirmed that refinishing was a great option and assured us he could bring them back to life. Gary and his team absolutely delivered. The floors turned out beautifully--they look fresh, clean, and better than we ever expected. Not only did we avoid the mess and cost of replacement, but Gary also saved us thousands of dollars. His attention to detail are top notch. Thank you, Gary, for making us fall in love with our floors all over again! We couldn't be happier and would recommend Walk On Wood without hesitation. read more

Gary and Jesse are true craftsman. They were very friendly and professional and did an amazing job. On time and on schedule, they went above and beyond and we couldn't be happier. Our 1953 floors look brand new like they day they were installed. They even repaired an old heater grate hole in the floor like it was never there. Don't hesitate to have them handle any wood restoration jobs you may have. read more

Gary and his team did a great job. Easy to work with, reasonable prices, and quality work.

I am so impressed with this company and my new floors! Gary was responsive to all my needs and explained the process for my comfort. I had some problem areas that they were able to upgrade seamlessly. Jesse was polite and mindful of the animals and needs of my home. He did a great job and communicated all areas of concern. I had them do the floors in the entire house, as well as baseboards, and they look amazing! read more

We had Gary come and refinish our living room and hallway floors a few years back. At the time, we had to wait on refinishing our two bedrooms. I recently reached out to Gary to finally come and refinish the floors. We were not disappointed. Gary and his team did a wonderful job! I highly recommend hiring them. read more

Gary does phenomenal work. We had our original oak hardwood floors redone and they did an impeccable job. Pricing was excellent, they were on time, in and out quickly and the clean up was spotless. Solid communication and they were very friendly as well. I don't normally leave reviews, but felt compelled to urge others to at least get an estimate on their job from these guys. I have had a lot of work done to my house and have dealt with lots of contractors, Gary definitely stands out from the rest. read more

These guys did an amazing job. It was a three day job to remove the carpet on our living room and dining room. They sanded and painted afterwards. Total pros. I'll be working with them again in a few months to do three of our bedrooms. I recommend them. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary and his crew now twice! I hired them in 2019 to redo a wood floor covered by carpet since 1968 (see photos) it is a parquet pattern and it was refinished in grey and it looked phenomenal. Flash forward to September 2020 and my kitchen flooded out. It barely missed the wood floor. But out of precaution I bought some of the extra tiles from Gary. After work ended in February I hired Gary to come back on 3/31/21 to repair the wood floor as gashes and scratches were left in in by the idiotic contractors who damaged it. He not only came and did the floor but did all my casings and baseboards too and it looks incredible! Will be calling Gary back in 5 years to recoat the floor again! read more

Dani Thomas 6 reviews · 3 photos 6 minutes ago WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! We are so impressed with Gary and the amazing work he and his team did on our floors and the custom built threshold between the living room and kitchen. Look no further, do not go anywhere else. He and his company are worth every penny and the price we paid was very fair for the excellent and meticulous work they did!!! The old saying... you get what you pay for .... we certainly are so happy we chose Walk on Wood to finish our floors and the threshold!!! We couldn't do everything we wanted because of the total cost, so we decided to choose the main area of the cabin and WOW!!!!!! Thank you Gary!!!!! You and your team simply put.... the best!!!!! Thank you Gary!!!! Danielle and Arlene read more

The original oak floors in my 1955 home had been covered with carpet for decades. When we decided to remove the carpet and restore the floors, we quickly learned that while many wood flooring companies will install engineered hardwood, there are far fewer who will refinish existing hardwood. After speaking with a few professionals, we chose to hire Walk on Wood. Their price was in the middle, but Gary was incredibly responsive and seemed to really know his stuff. Throughout the job, I was impressed with the professionalism of his staff. When they found some underlying problems, they always informed me of a couple options, and then responded with a price quote to allow me to approve the work. They were careful to minimize dust in other rooms of our home. After three days of work, I've got beautiful floors. They minimized the dust as best as they could, but we still had to wipe down walls and clean quite a bit. One thing I wish I had known, although I blame myself for not doing enough homework. We had to move out for a few nights. They use water-based products, but the smell is still really toxic. There's also a period off many hours when you can't walk on the floors. Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend Walk on Wood. read more

Gary did a wonderful job buffing and refinishing our wood floors! The flooring is original to the house (1892 Victorian) and had gotten pretty dull over the years, but now they really "pop." Plus, Gary and Jared were friendly, professional and thorough. Highly recommend! read more

Our 1945 cabin had hardwood floors that were in bad shape and needed to be repaired and refinished. Gary was responsive and gave us the best quote for the work. He was professional, timely and left our floors looking new again. read more

I'm so happy that we decided to go with Walk on Wood! They're the wood floor Doctors. Gary and his staff are very professional and got the work done. I absolutely loved their passion for their job and their knowledge. Our floors were dated and need to be re-stained. With some pieces of wood that needed to be replaced, I was worried that you would be able to notice. Not only did my floors get re-stained but out floors look BRAND NEW!!! They gave me peace of mind and went above and beyond to get the job done in a timely manner. And the results are immaculate. You pay for what you get and their work is priceless...Great Job Walk on Wood! read more

Gary is very responsive and helpful. He was busy but came out right away for a quote. We didn't want to spend the extra money and time completely stripping down our floors and starting from scratch so he gave us the option to re-coat. Pricing was reasonable and he showed up on time and did an excellent job. Highly recommend. read more

Gary and his team did just an awesome job. Everything was done right as promised and it was done on schedule. If you want quality work on a timely manner, I would highly recommend Gary. I am sure I will contact Gary again in the near future. read more

The work came out amazing. I love my hardwood floors now! My husband and I recently purchased a home with original hardwood floors however they were very used and seemed damaged.

I requested an estimate from Gary (even waited till the end of the week when he could come by and do measurements), as I was very interested in hiring him for our project. He came by, did the measurements and said it would take about 4 days for the estimate. He never got back to me even after I followed up. This just adds to the delay of the project, and now I'm hiring someone else. I would appreciate an update or some sort of transparency (e.g letting me know he can't fit it in the schedule) read more

I have had two jobs taken care of by walk on wood. The first was a couple of years ago which required brand new wood flooring and it came out exceptional and then about a week ago I needed work on a couple of bad floor scratches. Both times the service was excellent , customer service, prices and speed of work!! Thank you for your great work once again, definitely will be returning for any future necessities. read more

Wow, Gary and his colleagues did a seriously amazing job on my 60-years' old floors...one bedroom had previously been re-finished by the previous home owner, and I thought it looked good...but the difference between WoW's job and whoever did the last re-finish is night and day...their work ethic is so impressive, as is their pride of true craftsmanship...I also had WoW replace baseboards, which look great...cost of services is very fair, especially for the time and care taken...highly recommend! read more

I am very happy with the quality of their work. Gary is honest and up front with his estimates. His crews arrive on time, do a quality job, and leave a clean job when they finish. There is a definite pride in workmanship from Gary to his crews. That's something that is hard to find today. read more

Gary and his crew did an amazing job on my wood floors. I live in a 100 year old home with both Oak and Douglas Fir original floors. The floors were covered with carpet or laminate. Gary refinished the wood and only had to add wood in places that had missing wood. He also stained my living room and dining room because of previous old dark stains. Other quotes I got wanted to replace more wood rather then salvage them like Gary did. Gary is honest and reliable. My floors look beautiful and rustic. He and his crew are true artisans. Thank you. read more

Unresponsive and unreliable. Wanted to get a quote to re-do our flooring in Big Bear, after some miscommunication initially we still weren't able to overcome it to get a quote or even a response. read more

We are so pleased with the work done by Gary to repair our water damaged wood floor. His price was competitive. They were efficient and ensured we understood the repair process and the options we had. To minimize expense we did not sand and refinish the entire floor. We choose to have just the section repaired with top coat. The result is great. I recommend walk on wood to anyone! read more

A late entry but needed to sing their praises. The guys at Walk on Wood were hardworking, detail oriented and clean. The pulled up a 50 year old rug and restored 100 year old hard wood, with repairs and replacements in areas that blend seamlessly with the original. They cared about the end product and it really showed. Fair price. Beautiful, quality work. They made great suggestions and provided recommendations re maintenance. I recommend Walk on Wood HIGHLY. read more

I purchased my new home about 2-3 years ago and before we moved in I wanted to have my wood floors cleaned and polished. Can't remember the name of who did the job, I think Gary. Anyhow, he was great. He also was informative about my wood floor care moving forward. He was on time and had the job done the same day. Prices were fair and reasonable. I'm glad I found him on yelp. Hard to find new contractors and people to work on a new home in a new city but he exceeded my expectations. How are the wood floors today 2-3 years later. Still in great condition. But if I need to have them redone or polished again I will definitely call walk on wood! Thanks! read more

I originally wanted to put these wood floors I purchased from last year. But I lagged. Gary and his crew came in with short notice. I had priced the installation out, and Gary was very competitive, but also he delivered a quality better than the others. I love my wood floors. Very professional. Thanks Gary! read more

Walk On Wood - My floor!!!!!!!! - Flooring Near Me - Ontario, California

Gary's team is A#1. He came within a few days after me contacting him through yelp. He gave me an estimate that beat all others but even when you're a bit nervous that his price is low, balance the 5 star yelp against it. I did and I'm happy I did. He worked with my canceling of schedules a bunch. I needed my floor to dry out. It took longer than we thought. He was flexible. Gary's team arrived on time. He has a vast team of seasoned professionals. I used another awful guy last time and I can see the difference in Gary's work in many ways. The corners, cracks, seams, thresholds... that's where you see the quality. Anyone can run a sander and paint on some coating. They do more. One of his teams had a guy that is a bit overcooked - a bit too long in the job -- and he and I got into it a bit. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but in any job you hire someone for over $200, you have the right to get what you want. Gary was great with the altercation and we moved on. I appreciate the floors now and so does my family. Looks brand new! read more

What can I say. Gary showed up 5 minuttes before of the appointment to see the floors, so he is not delayed. He took a look at the pretty damaged floor, and after 30 minuttes he gave a quote. We accepted that quote, because it was 30% less than we could get elsewhere (don't read this Gary !!!!). Gary showed up 1.5 minuttes late the first day, and he did a splendid job of sanding the floor that was improperly done 20 years ago. One plank needed to be replaced due to termittes - Gary gave a very good quote on that, and you cannot see where it was, as Gary just replaced it in a way that noone else would have done. The floors looks like a million thanks to Gary. I can only recommend this professional, as Gary and his team are very professional. read more

I have been walking on my new wood floors for about a month now and I still can't get over how great they look. Gary and his crew at Walk on Wood did a phenomenal job and it really shows in the details; around the fireplace, in the closets, at the transitions from the wood to another flooring surface. I have had wood installed in other homes and Walk on Wood is as good as it gets. The crew is awesome. They not only did their job well but they did it CLEAN! They showed up when they said they would and they didn't leave until the job was finished. Every morning I greeted the crew and went off to work and when I got home, the work area was clean, the furniture rearranged for the next day and the doors locked. I would welcome all of them into my home anytime, for any reason. Starting with the bidding process, Gary was competitive and thorough. I had a budget to work with and Gary was able to get me a quality product without sacrificing anything on the installation. After the decision was made to go with Walk on Wood, Gary was attentive with moving the process along at a pace that was tailored to my particular needs, including baseboard selection, material delivery, and installation dates that were met as promised. Once the job was started, there were no change orders due to any unforeseen or overlooked items. A welcomed relief compared with other contractors. Thank you, Gary, for a job well done. read more

Just moved into a new house, tore out the carpets and found a hardwood floor that not only needed repairs; water damage, termites, animal urine, etc... But there was also a huge section of the dining room missing hard wood! Gary came out; very professionally quoted me several layers of quotes and then worked with me to install new flooring and repair the damaged areas to save me as much $$ as he could. He's a really nice guy. His team did amazing work! Our floor blows people away. Out home feels great thanks to his help. He even did our baseboards for us and let us paint them ahead of time. 100% recommend. We gave his name out to our neighbor as well. read more

Gary and his team have done amazing work for us over the years! He's great at threading in new wood to fix damaged areas. Expect high quality work at fair prices! :) read more

Now here is a guy who truly takes pride in his work and clearly loves what he does! Gary has amazing attention for detail and is very careful to create the look that you want in your hardwood floors. In our house, Gary and his team sanded and refinished existing hardwood floors and also added new hardwood floors upstairs to match the existing quarter sawn white oak floors. The results are really stunning! Gary was always present with his crew, and usually working side by side with them throughout the job to make sure everything was done to his very high standards. All of that, and to top it off, Gary is just a really nice guy and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Gary! Sharon and John read more

I can not begin to say enough good things about Gary and his crew!!! The work they do is amazing; they know what they are doing. They refinished my existing floors and also demolished old floor and installed new wood flooring, and then stained everything gunstock (red brown, see photo of little boys room) to match. Looks flawless. I could not be happier. You won't be disappointed with their work or price. Thanks again Gary!!!! read more

We had special requests such as completing one of the rooms at a later time and Gary accommodated all of them.

Tim and Aaron did our floors they were nice gentleman if you want a good floor quick request them. I would highly recommend them they went beyond what I ever expected of them. I just wanted to hug Tim and Aaron after we were complete. Thank you guys!!! read more

Gary and his crew are amazing. Very professional and true perfectionists. I am very picky and I can not say one bad thing about the job they did. I requested a quote one evening and didn't expect to hear back from anyone until the next day. Gary contacted me within the hour and arranged to come by and look at the job within days. He coached me on how to care for the floors and encouraged me to let him know if I was not happy with the job. I am VERY happy with the job they did and I will recommend them to everyone. Thanks Gary, I wish more businesses offered the customer care and excellent work as you do. read more
