Avi’s Hardwood Floors, Inc.

This is only a partial review.
We did not end up having our floors done, but did want to give credit to Avi’s for their level of service. Very responsive to calls and meeting up with us. Based on the initial meetings, I would recommend Avi to others.

We were referred to Avi from a hardwood floor specialist outside the area, and after reviewing two other bids selected his because he was not only competitive but really gives one the sense that he knows the best solutions for your particular situation. I can only assume that Avi has a consistently high rating here because he has provided the same high quality workmanship for others that he did for us. Our job was a 450 square foot ground floor guest bedroom that we wanted to convert from carpet to hardwood. The main concern was that the flooring would be glued directly on concrete slab, and that our property receives more than its share of water runoff from the hillsides above. We wanted a wood that was highly resistant to scratches, like the main floor of the house which is covered in solid fossilized bamboo. Avi recommended an engineered flooring that has Brazilian Teak as its wear layer. He installed the job himself along with a small crew of experienced workers. The timing went as planned, with good cleanup after each stage (leveling, sealing, installation), and no contamination of the rest of the house from dust, tracked adhesive, etc. The end result is flawless. All in all, I only wish I had known about him when we did the main level of the house, as I would prefer to have this same floor throughout. Give Avi a call.

Avi is a superb craftsman. He did a refinishing job for us that was just about perfect. He is also very nice and reliable. Did everything exactly when he said he would. And was even done sooner than expected. His price seemed to be in line with other floor refinishers. The only difference was the extra high quality of his work for the price.

This review is about customer service. Was trying to get a quote for 1) removing carpet 2) installing hardwood floors. Left 2 messages– no one called me back.

We just had our hardwood floor refinished and repaired by Avi. Outstanding work and craftsmanship. Avi stuck to his time commitments and completed the job in a very timely fashion. We are very pleased and you will be too.

Avi did an absolutely perfect job laying new hardwood in our kitchen. He communicated clearly, responded to my queries immediately, worked swiftly, without dust (incredible!!) and is truly an artist of his craft. I got several bids and felt I trusted Avi’s skills and expertise above the rest. I was right. Don’t bother shopping around. Use Avi. Within no time at all, your floors will be flawless & gorgeous.

I have now been through five consultations to obtain quotes for hardwood floor re-​finishing. And must say was only completely impressed by one person who possibly said the least amount of spoken words to me.
I only met Avi after hiring a really bad company that completely messed up my floors, he came recommended by a hired forensic floor expert.
His approaches was unlike any of the other sales men who came to look at my space. He is extremely accredited and from his photos does beautiful work.
That’s not why I’m giving him a five star review without having had him refinish my floors yet.
Out of the other floor companies he didn’t try to sell me on what I wanted to hear.
He told me he didn’t like the current stain we had chosen on my floors, and with a very brief couple of questions indicated why I shouldn’t like it either.
He took very little time asking me what things in the floor bothered me, and pointed me in a entirely different direction to what I thought I wanted.
He also took one look at my dog and made a accurate assessment for our lifestyle.
Avi himself seems quiet but confident in his ability, assuring me he would only need one opportunity to complete my floors. Unlike the last company who disrupted my life multiple times to re-​do and touch up.
I will update this review after my floors are re-​finished, but if his consultation is anything like his work I can’t imagine my stars changing.

Avi installed new hardwood floor for our hallway, exercise room, and office. He also refinished the dinning room and kitchen to tie in with the new floor. The new floor has beautiful borders, feature strips, and center piece in the office. What a great job! We love and enjoy the beautiful floor every single day. Avi is definitely not an average floor guy. He’s an artist and a true floor master. Big thumb up!

We had a small repair for Avi (doggie damage) — he came in and gave us a quote, even showed us a couple of other spots he could fix… and now my floors look amazing. You can’t even tell where the damage was. I would definitely recommend Avi to anyone… in fact my next door neighbor got her entire house redone!

Avi was our first choice. He went above and beyond our expectations! This was the 3^rd (and final) refinish on our original flooring. We had some companies tell us they couldn’t do it and recommended all new floors, we had some say they could only do a partial refinish. Avi said he could do it all and do it better than anyone. He did!
And, he did it without the house being dusty. It was amazing. We didn’t have to move everything in the cupboards and closets because he uses state of the art machinery that doesn’t make dust! Amazing!
Our floors look better than when we did this 13 years ago.

Avi is professional, accommodating, and does amazing work!
Avi recently installed new hardwood floors in our home in Pinole Valley. We contacted several contractors for quote and Avi was the only one who showed up on time and provided us a quote in a timely manner. Avi worked with our schedule to install the new floors.
We had everything timed to get the floors finished a week before our Wedding reception. However, I had a great idea to keep the water line for the refrigerator connected while it was outside in our back yard and ended up severing the line… This was discovered 4 hours later after the newly installed hardwood was sufficiently soaked. We were not able to get it dry in time for the reception, However Avi came over the day before the wedding and buffed the untreated floors to make the look great for the party.
Our new Oak floors that Avi installed look AMAZING beyond my wildest expectations. Give Avi a call if you need a new floor!

We had Avi refinish the oak floors in our home. The wood was in good condition but the finish had faded and needed to be brought back to life. Our two concerns were getting the quality finish we wanted and controlling the amount of dust and debris generated during the sanding process. Avi is definitely an expert and well versed in his field. He clearly explained the process in detail, highlighting how his equipment and expertise would minimize the amount of dust generated as well as deliver a quality finish and luster in the wood that we were looking for.
Needless to say he delivered as expected. He is on time, dedicated, detail oriented and focused on his craft. Highly recommended and wouldn’t use anyone else!

Avi is simply the best! I contracted with Avi to replace the flooring in my living room and dining room with new strand bamboo flooring. He did a fantastic job in the dining room. But then I didn’t get around to doing the living room until two years latter! After two years, Avi still honored his original quote to do the living room! And he did an extremely clean and professional job with attention to detail. Plus, he was able to blind-​nail the strand bamboo which is VERY hard. Most installers only glue this. But Avi knew the one nail gun and nail that would work on this flooring. Thanks Avi. A+

We used Avi’s when we moved in to our new condo on the Lake in 2006. He did a great job restoring the original floors with a non-​toxic water-​based finish. They’ve lasted through numerous dance parties. Avi is also just easy to work with, no hassle, smart, and amicable. We have referred him to at least two other people who’ve also all been pleased.

Got bids from four floor companies. Avi was the only representative who showed up and really demonstrated his knowledge. His work was absolutely first rate, done precisely on time, and he was able to add some great touches to my floor that all my guests notice when they first enter the house.

We hired Avi in 2005 when we first bought our house. We saw his ad in the Yellow Pages and gave him a try. We expected the floors to shine then, but they’re still incredibly beautiful. We recently had to ask him to come out and replace a few boards when we had the wall heaters removed for forced air. Wall heaters require holes in the floor for the gas pipe. It was such a small job: we worried that he wouldn’t take it, especially since the local floor company told us that most flooring specialists would only do jobs of 2000.00 or more. Anyway, after scouring the web, we found him again and contacted him. He not only did the job for an incredibly fair price, but you can’t tell that you’re looking at a repaired floor too.

Avi refinished our hardwood floors in three rooms. His attention to details and professional demeanor made the project go very well. He was very easy to work with and answered all our questions. We recommed him.

We have beautiful oak wood floors in our hallway, dining room and kitchen. Thanks to Avi’s proessional guidance and expertise, the job went smoothly and on time and within budget. Couldn’t be happier. Avi is a world class craftsman and clearly loves his work.

The best in his business! Avi is PRO and his workmanship is top notch. He refinished the floors in our entire home and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Highly recomended!

Avi refinished over 1000 sq ft of Oak flooring for us and after several years it still looks great. This floor was T&G solid oak that had seen 25 years of hard family and pet abuse and we questioned if it could ever be restored to it’s original beauty. The professional work by Avi gave us a floor that looks better than new (I installed the original). They did the work without disturbing our household and left the job spotless. I would highly recommend them for any flooring work.
