This company quickly replied to my request for an estimate. They informed me of the process and proceeded to transform my worn floors into gorgeous wood! They even took care of some baseboards that required work and fixed an area that needed new wood. It came out beautifully and the price was right! I highly recommend A Step Above Floooring! read more

We had A Step Above install our laminate flooring throughout our entire home. They did an excellent job. We were very pleased with the entire project. The owner, Fred, gave us several ideas and options and was very personable and easy to work with. He has a huge store in Modesto with huge quantities of material to select. His workers were very professional and expertly finished the job. We were so pleased that we called Fred again to remodel our master bedroom shower. He helped us design and select the tile, accent trim, and tile floor. The shower looks great. We highly recommend A Step Above Flooring. read more

These guys are awesome! Professional, yet friendly. Top notch work.

I had a water line which feeds the ice maker break and cause my hardwood floors to cup in my kitchen. The hardwood floors run continuous throughout the main level so the entire main level flooring had to be sanded and refinished. I got 4 floor quotes and Step Above Flooring had the best price and value. They did a beautiful job refinishing the floors and were very professional. I then had a separate contractor reinstall the furniture and this contractor damaged the newly refinished floors. I hired Step Above to come back and fix the floors and they again look good as new. read more

We had severe flooring damage in several rooms in a difficult estate sale situation. The "A Step Above Flooring" team worked nothing short of miracles in matching the wood in several large sections to be replaced, and then refinished the floors to brand new levels of beauty! The value of the house was incredibly enhanced by their amazing work. They are highly professional, and provide exemplary customer service! read more

Step Above did an amazing job on my upstairs refinish. Jay and his apprentice were prompt, thorough, detailed, and friendly. Fred Jr was super upbeat and a pleasure to communicate with. Overall great experience and beautiful job! I'm a grateful customer. :) read more

I have had work floors installed by Home Depot and I have had floors installed by A Step Above Flooring and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. The difference in quality in un-measurable and quite frankly doesn't even compare. When they say, our quality will floor you, they mean it. Fred and his guys installed not only beautiful floors, but also our counter tops and back splash in my house. And let me tell you, you couldn't ask for better customer service either. They are the best in town for a reason and I highly recommend. read more

Went to the store to purchase flooring and have them do the installation of it. Met with the sales man Michael H. he made the appointment with us to to check out the space and bring the two samples we wanted. On the day of the appointment he confirmed the appointment with us. That afternoon he was a no show and did not have the courtesy that day to call us and tell us he couldn't make it. The next day he called and said he forgot about the appointment, then he said he was busy with another customer, then he wanted to make another appointment with us, after you just flaked out with B.S. excuses, absolutely not. If this is how the salesman is going to represent this business I would be very careful for anyone to do business there. I would not recommend this salesman to anyone. read more

Really came through for me when I needed solid wood flooring in a hurry and worked with my contractor for pickup and support love it Sandy

I picked out carpet and luxury vinyl plank tile on Wednesday. All three rooms done on Saturday! Al was very helpful. He showed me options in my budget and gave me a reasonable quote (much less than Home Depot). Every charge was itemized on the printed quote and he offered to do the baseboards (not something even mentioned at Home Depot). read more

Just finishing having Alex and his crew install a new oak floor into our family room. We also had them refinish the old oak floors in the bedrooms. They were speedy, and talented professionals. The results were top- notch and completed on time. Excellent dependable company. They did a wonderful job. We love the result. read more

I do not recommend A step above flooring, they were very unprofessional, they put hardwood flooring on my staircase and hallway. They cut to short the wood, they cut short my carpet it was a nightmare. When we call to complain they came after two months they try to fix it their way, on my stairs instead of removing the short wood they just painted that part brown , it is terrible. Also they charged us ahead of time without finishing the job. read more

Alex and the team at A Step Above Flooring did a great job with assisting us with identifying the best floor for our home. We had 3000 square feet of wood flooring that we needed. They matched our needs with the right floor at a competitive price. They also were very responsive to all our needs as the project was completed. read more

I just called to get an estimate for repair on my wood floors. The man that answered was very unpleasant to the point of being rude. If the first point of contact isn't a pleasant experience, then I can't expect that I'll have a good experience with their services. read more

I just recently did about 1000 square feet of new flooring in my house and I am so glad I went with A Step Above! Fred Jr. (Owner) was really helpful throughout the whole process and really wanted to make sure I was happy with everything. His flooring crew did an excellent job on the hardwood and I am so pleased with how it turned out! The crew that he sent was highly experienced and knew exactly what do to fix some of the unlevel areas (my house is 60 years old). I highly recommend this company and I will go to them again when I start the next phase of my remodel! read more

I'm a manufacturer rep in the flooring world. My wife and I just moved and wanted to do a kitchen remodel. I could of chosen any company to do my kitchen counter tops, but I know the reputation that Step Above has so I chose them. I wasn't let down they were very prompt and installed my granite and even helped out with the installation of our farm house sink. I highly recommend them and we get so many compliments on our new kitchen, I couldn't do it without Step Above they did a great job. Save your time of shopping around and just go here, you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

Fred is a bad man(in a good way!), what can I say? The work performed in my business was exemplary. Even though the work was done years ago while Step Above was still in a mini warehouse on Doker Ave, it still looks fantastic. My home is next, and I'm calling Fred to work his magic again. read more

Thank you, Alex and Fred, for being so honest, helpful and understanding. I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who will listen. I LOVE my carpeting. read more

We recently had A Step Above replace 25-year-old carpet in our house with engineered wood in high traffic areas and carpet in other areas. I dealt with Fred, Jr. and he quickly convinced me that he knew what he was doing and would advise me properly so that we would be satisfied with the end result. His quote covered all contingencies, His people were professional and very competent. The work was done with a minimum of inconvenience to us, and cleanup was excellent. I highly recommend A Step Above. I will come to Fred, Jr. again for the next job. I'm sure he'll be there, as he is really young. But professional beyond his years. Thank you for a good job, well done. read more

Our house flooded and we had to have our laminate floor replaced, our insurance restoration contractor uses Step Above. Long story short, it was a terrible experience, unbelievable sloppy work that had to be redone and charged our ins twice the amount we spent having Lowes do the same job just 9 months prior. And it took 10 weeks to finish the job! Overall the floor looks good but not without a lot of complaints. "Step Below" is a more fitting name. read more

Another first class job from Step Above! I returned to this company after using them for an oak floor installation at a previous home. The owner, Fred Ruelas, came out to do the measurements, and was very helpful in the showroom explaining all of the options available. The installers, Doug and Angel, worked well together and did an awesome job. They were very exacting in their work and particular down to small details--which the finished product shows. Everyone that I interacted with from the company was pleasant and professional. They are definitely a "go to" resource for future flooring projects. read more

For months we had been trying to decide on the right floor for our 75-year-old home. We looked in various showrooms, and went back and forth about the pros and cons of all the different products out there. We wanted it to look classic and vintage, but it seemed like there were drawbacks to just about everything. Finally, one day we stopped at A Step Above Flooring. We explained our problem to Alex, and he was "hands on helpful" without being the least bit pushy. It didn't take us long to settle on Armstrong Premium Tile. All we had to do was choose the pattern. Alex encouraged us to take several grouted tile samples home, and "live with them" and look at them in different light. While we had the samples at our house I poured a cup of coffee and a glass of wine on them and let them set overnight. The next morning the tile and grout wiped clean with plain water. We were sold! After that A Step Above made everything so easy for us. The cost was fair, and the installers did everything - rip out the old vinyl, put in a new sub floor and carefully place the new tiles for maximum variation. Steve and Mike were professional and polite, and they kept the work area clean and neat. Best of all, they started the project and finished it exactly when they promised. We are thrilled. I am walking around my beautiful new kitchen and I can't keep a smile from my face. This store has the right name - A Step Above! read more

A Step Above Flooring - Grouted Armstrong Tile was perfect for our 75 year old home - so warm and luxurious!  Well done with the installation and cost! - Flooring Near Me - Modesto, California

I cannot recommend A Step Above Flooring highly enough. Everything about our experience with this company was perfect. Fred Jr. really understands the meaning of customer service and takes it to a level rarely seen these days. The crew that worked in my home were great as well. When it became necessary to re-carpet the two bedrooms we didn't get our beautiful new Mirage engineered wood in, there was no question that we would be dealing with A Step Above's other location on 9th Street. Alex has made ordering the carpet easy, and I have no doubt this installation will go just as well as the wood. A Step Above Flooring really is A Step Above! read more

Fred and his crew are the best... Real Craftsmen. If you are looking for hardwood this is the place... Don't go to the box store they just don't have that feel of the local business and craftsmen. read more

Can't recommend Step Above highly enough. Refinished my maple floors in my 103 year old house. They have been under a carpet since we moved in over 30 years ago. The result is outstanding. Then, when I went looking for area rugs, they beat all the other carpet companies in price and selection. I highly recommend this LOCAL, FAMILY RUN business. read more
