I interviewed and got quotes for four different hardwood floor guys. Phil was the best communicator and was knowledgeable. He was not the cheapest but he was the best. I would say that he was the best value. He was hands-on, meticulous to detail and was able to adjust his work to some complications around sound proofing. Many people say that the best judge of the work is if you are still on speaking terms with the vendor at the end of the job. We surely are. The completed project was great! Phil communicated very well, was transparent with the job challenges so there were no surprises. I would

I had interviewed four hardwood floor installers. Phil wasn't the cheapest but I found him to be knowledgeable and hands-on, meticulous with details. My job was complicated because I was also installing sound blocking material under a floating hardwood floor. Phil was responsive to the direction given by the acoustical consultant and incorporating big changes into what would had been a standard job. They say that the true measure of a contractor is whether you are on speaking terms after the job. We are on best of terms. Phil even did some finish work on a built-in desk because the floor changed

His work ethic is beyond professional, he is extremely responsive and is a rare gem to find these days. He is meticulous in his attention to detail. I couldn’t have found a better vendor to trust my home with, he is definitely our hardwood floor guy.

We hired Phil to consult with us about a new hardwood floor in our 1880's cottage in Bernal Heights. We did this just as covid restrictions were about to lift in early spring 2021, when there were supply issues and other complications. Phil spent time with us and helped us figure out what flooring was going to work best with our house and renovation plan. He brought us samples and problem solved when renovation issues arose. He gave excellent advice about our flooring and overall renovation. He and his crew were on time, worked very hard and consistently, practiced covid precautions, and installed

We had a great experience with Phil the Floor Guy. When Phil did the initial walk through he pointed out a few areas that needed to be fixed and we would not have noticed these flaws without his expertise. We are thrilled with the way our floors turned out. I would definitely recommend.

Great to work with. Not only has a high attention to detail but also a great problem solver. We have an old house with lots of uneven floors. Phill helped us build up and level out multiple areas of the floor. He also did a fantastic job or installing over both existing hardwood and (very uneven) cement. And very happy with the finishing work he did in correcting errors our building contractors had made with squeaky stairs and unevenly laid boards.

We recently bought a new house. The floors were in pretty good condition but there were a couple spots that needed some repairs. We called Phil to help. He was incredibly responsive, provided several options for us to choose from, and got us on the schedule within just a couple days. Phil did an amazing job. I'm meticulous about these sorts of things and was blown away. Our floors look brand new. You can tell Phil cares deeply about the quality of his work. I know exactly who I'll call the next time I need anything done to my floors and I've already recommended Phil to several friends

This is my second time having Phil work on our floors and I will definitely work with him again. He arrived on time, installed cedar flooring in our closets, and left the work area clean. Quick and the finished product looks great!

I just hired Phil to install a new wood tile floor in my office. He did an amazing job . He was prompt, efficient, on time, extremely friendly, within budget and went out of his way to make the new floor look even better than I ever imagined. I will most definitely use him for all my future floor needs and highly recommend you do so too.

Our general contractor brought Phil in to redo our hardwood floors and we are so glad he did! Phil got it all done in good time, at a reasonable price and our floors are STUNNING. Thank you Phil - if and when we change other areas of our home from carpet to hardwood we will definitely call you. We highly recommend Phil the Floor Guy. Truly an artist and a nice guy as well.

I looked online to find a company that refinishes hardwood floors. I contacted Phil the Floor Guy and set up an appointment for an estimate. Phil came out, reviewed the job, and gave me a very reasonable estimate within one day. He started the job on the date I requested as I had other trades scheduled for later in the month. The job took three days as he had estimated. The finished job is fantastic! The floors look brand new. Being a tradesman myself, I am a little picky as to who I use for projects. Phil has a great attitude and is a pleasure to work with. I have shared his contact information

Phil is the man! He not only did an amazing job on our floors, he was professional, reliable and fair in price. We used him to buff our floors and top coat them for our tenants, but when we refinish next year, we will for sure use Phil. Highly recommend! Check out the pictures!

I have hired Phil many times over the years for re-finishing or installing hardwood floors. I have also recommended him to several friends and acquaintances.
Phil always does top notch work, for a fair price. Doesn't matter if its the whole house or just a room or two. He takes care of little things that come up no problem and he has never bid the job up after he starts work. He is always punctual, respectful and cleans up completely after the jobs. Plus he works fast. On top of all that he is just a plain nice guy and a pleasure to work with.
Use Phil the Floor Guy for your next project and

Phil the Floor Guy is the creme de la creme in his business. I am writing this review based on my consultation and estimate.

I went on Yelp for floor installers, and Phil was listed as number one based on his excellent reviews. I could see why after viewing his work on his website. His portfolio speaks for itself. Beautiful!

I called him, and he said he could come over in a few hours for an estimate since he would be in the area. I have never had anyone come so quickly after my initial call. Phil was very knowledgeable about floor installation. He brought up many ideas and points I had

Our guest bedroom has some severe water damage in one area of the floor. We contacted Phil The Floor Guy and he was able to replace the wood planks and match with existing flooring. He did an amazing job and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Two other floor companies wanted us to replace the entire floor but Phil reassured us that repairing damage would be fine and he was right!

Phil the Floor Guy sanded, stained, and refinished our 37 year old wood oak floors. They look like new. He was also able to match the stain of adjacent rooms, so it is seamless. Great job. We are very happy and certainly recommend him to you. K Young

Phil was amiable and had a good sense of humor to boot. I hired him to put in oak hardwood floors in my parents bedroom and they turned out beautifully. He recommended floating the tounge and groove flooring as opposed to gluing or fastening it down. I was a little skeptical at first but I'm glad we did it that way. It looks and feels super clean and there was no mess. I'd hire him again.

This is my fourth remodel and I have never worked with a tradesperson who communicates as well as Phil does. He always responds to my e-mails and texts in a timely manner. He was so helpful in helping us figure out how we could do the floor most affordably. He gave us a line item quote and let us know that if we did a few of the line items ourselves (like removal of the old floors) what we could save. The floors like really amazing. We needed things done quickly and every single day I walk on them I am so grateful he took the job. Sometimes speed is substituted for quality but not in this

Nine years ago, my close friend told me to call Phil the Floor Guy when I needed to install wood flooring in the apartment we rent below our house. This apartment had potential exposure to moisture so we needed a strong council and expert execution. After Phil completed the floor, we rented the apartment to good folks and the apartment has cycled through various tenants since then. I would visit with them often and have a beer in the dining room...but I never walked through the apartment. The tenants knew to tell me the moment there was a problem. The current tenants have now moved out and the

I was having reliability problems with the contractor that was supposed to do my floor. I met Phil at the gas station randomly and asked him if he could come by and give me a quote. He came by a couple days later and knocked it out and it's super clean. The room is oddly shaped and had a lot of custom cuts and it all came out perfect. Phil the Floor Guy is the TRUTH!

Phil and his crew did an excellent job on my hardwood floors. I had just recovered from a major flood in my home. He took the time to replace boards that were bad while maintaining the integrity of my 1925 Sausalito Bungalow.

We had no issues with him doing the job using his own discretion. Phil was precise, quick, and accurate. He offers many years of experience.
I highly recommend Phil the Floor Guy!
Hey at least get a quote.
They're free and they come with a lot of experience.
Also, remember to have Phil do your floors is more meaningful than a corporation. It's a statement

Disclosure - I have known Phil for upwards of 15 years, since before he started his floor finishing business.

I have had Phil refinish all of the floors in a previous home, and upon purchasing a new home that needed a lot of hardwood flooring help he was the first person that came to mind.

Our job consisted of a mix of refinishing existing mixed 2" strip oak and installing new 2" strip oak and replacing 2 stairways of treads with solid oak.

Phil arrived to quote as promised and did his walk thru to get measurements. He quickly produced a reasonable quote which I accepted thru an application

Really great and fast work! Phil installed my floors for my bedroom and closet in one day! I tore out my nasty carpets the previous day which was optional. He recommended if I do that it'll save me some money, so I put on a dust mask and got my hands dirty. I gotta tell ya the new hardwood floors are soooo freakin better than the stained ugly carpet I can't believe I waited so long to do it!
So I recommend if you are thinking about getting some new floors put installed or refinished don't hesitate to call Phil The Floorguy and git 'er done ASAP!!! Top quality and a professional
