    Laundromat flooring
    Billy E.

    Yuri does an amazing job & took on the task of not only installing new flooring in our business but also building enclosures for areas we didn't want exposed. This is the 3rd job they have completed for us & it's always top level work every time.

    Very careful attention to detail around the kitchen island - no gap and no trim needed.
    Jay E.

    We just finished a home remodel and dealt with about a dozen different types of contractors (painter, plumber, electrician, HVAC, carpenter, carpets, etc). Yuri stood out among all of them due to his quality work, focus on customer satisfaction, communication, and integrity. I wish everyone we had worked with was as reliable and easy to work with as Aprel Flooring. For our flooring, we received 4 or 5 quotes to replace the hardwood floor in our kitchen and attached living room. Aprel was the most competitive in pricing, but the reason I chose them was due to the confidence I felt in their knowledge and expertise, as well as their thorough communication. Aprel gave us the most detailed line-by-line proposal for the job. Other flooring contractors told us we would need to put a 1/4" round trim along circumference of the kitchen island, whereas Yuri felt confident in his ability to tuck the flooring under the island without a visible gap - which he did quite successfully. We were so impressed with how the floors looked, we decided to hire them again a few months later to replace several carpeted areas with hardwood. What blew me away was the focus on quality work and customer satisfaction before, during, and after the job. Aprel also showed extreme care in operating within our home and not doing any damage. We had an issue with some of the floor boards that we had purchased, and the team was very responsive in navigating that and handling the problem with the hardwood supplier. I felt so many of the contractors we worked with on our remodel were looking for opportunities to gouge us anytime something came up, where as Yuri was just focused on doing a good job and making us happy. Five stars!

    I redid all the flooring in my home in 2019 with Aprel Flooring. I chose Yuri and his team because I appreciated their communication and professionalism from the beginning. Unlike the other contractors I got quotes from, Yuri took the time to break down the quote by line item in a written document. This helped me understand the specific costs and how they might change as variables shifted. This was immensely helpful to me when I made adjustments to the design during the project and could re-calculate myself how much it would change the cost. Throughout the project I had many questions, and Yuri always took the time to address them patiently and thoroughly. The two men who installed the floors are impressive, talented craftsmen. I frequently get complements on my inlaid hardwood floors from friends and other contractors. In addition to wanting a walnut feature strip throughout, I had specific design requests (herringbone in one room, diagonally laid planks in another) that they implemented expertly. Throughout the installation, Yuri sent me photos and updates. When they were any hiccups, Yuri was quick to address them. Most of all, I appreciate that even years later (2023!) when I noticed some minor damage I'd created on the floor, I texted Yuri and he offered to stop by to take a closer look. He recommended it would not be worth the cost to fix such a minor issue. I deeply appreciated his honest feedback, as well as the time he took to give me his professional opinion in person. 10/10 would recommend Aprel Flooring if you want beautiful floors installed by talented, detail-oriented craftsmen who stand by their work long-term.

    Letting the new wood acclimate
    Christopher B.

    I used Aprel Flooring a couple of years ago to replace old carpeting as well as some wood flooring in my 2 bd/2ba apartment. Yuri was very responsive and helpful in working with my HOA and fulfilling all of the documentation requirements, as well as materials requirements (cork size underlay) to complete the work. I also had them replace the floorboards since the existing boards were rather worn. Yuri and his team did an amazing job! Flash forward almost two years. I had some furniture hauled away, and the haulers ended up gouging a couple of floorboards. Luckily, I had some extra boards from the initial flooring install. I reached out to Yuri, sent him pictures, and he very quickly gave me an estimate as well as timing for completing the work. He also remembered my HOA and asked about any potential documentation requirements, which I appreciated (there were none). Yuri came with his team to review the work and explain what he thought needed to be done and how long it would take. His team did a great job and did all of the clean up work after remediating the damaged wood. I can't say enough good things about the quality of Aprel Flooring's work!

    April Flooring restored this hardwood floor, which had damage, and had been covered since 1947!

    I contacted Yuri at April Flooring in June 2023 to remove the wall-to-wall carpet and refinish the 1947 hardwood floors of a Cow Hollow/Marina house. This house has been in the family since 1976, and the floors have never been seen uncarpeted. There was water and dog damage in the living room, yet Yuri and his team were able to completely restore the floors. I was stunned and delighted with the quality results. Yuri is very easy to work with, and communicates with efficiency and clarity. I would recommend Aprel happily to anyone seeking hardwood work. A+!

    empty room with hard wood floors

    Yuri and his team were excellent throughout the whole process. I was looking to get some carpet removed and replaced with pre-finished engineered hardwood to try and match my existing hardwood floors. Yuri came out and gave me a detailed quote and estimate, and discussed different options for where I could look at floors. Once I bought the floors, he picked them up and delivered them before I even knew the order was ready, and his crew started working next week. During the job, we hit an unexpected snag with the hydronic radiant heating - the original carpet grippers were nailed into the concrete subfloor with long nails, and in two places these nails went directly into the radiant heating pipes. So, when they were removed, large leaks sprung until we shut off the water into the system. I was able to get a plumber out the next day to make the fix, and let the system run for a day to be sure it was fixed. Yuri and his team not only were able to deal with this setback (they effectively lost 2 out of 4 workdays), but they also patched the concrete which had to be opened up in order to make the plumbing repair without any extra charge. I'm very happy with the result of the installation, and impressed with Yuri's honesty and professionalism. He helped me along every step of the way, met his estimate and work timeline, and even helped return extra hardwood we had after the job since his crew didn't waste any.

    Reclaimed maple and beech flooring from Black's Farmwood
    Eric W.

    Yuri and his crew were absolutely awesome! He was the first to respond to my request for an appraisal and bid, and gave the best quote. They were completely professional and did an immaculate job. We could not be happier!

    Finished product

    Yuri is an absolute professional. He showed a keen eye to accurately quote the work, was perfectly punctual, and the results were terrific. I had several other contractors bid my hardwood installation, and there was a night and day difference in the way Yuri and his team run their operation versus others (even other highly rated folks). Prices were perfectly in-line with other quotes, and there were no hidden-fees or got-cha's anywhere along the line. Extremely upfront and accurate about the work and timeline. The Aprel crew even dealt with my furniture with great care and ease. Couldn't ask for anything more.

    NEW flooring: I am SO happy to write this review. With all the things that can go sideways, this was the PERFECT experience. I had gotten many quotes before deciding...I must say I made a great choice. Yuri and team (David and Delfino) were phenomenal. They were on time and ALWAYS cleaned up at the end of the day (vacuumed daily). They hermetically sealed off the closets and bathroom with plastic and blue tape, protecting the exposed areas from dust. The surrounding entry / hall floors were covered with paper/plastic etc., even the entry stairs to our building which is the common area for our building were covered for the duration of the project. Everything was explained every step of the way....there were no surprises and the result is stellar. Amazing attitude and customer service.....clearly, from the start, so professional with such a good attitude. Yuri answered all my questions, NEVER making me feel less because I was asking procedural questions, products used, etc. Our job was not huge - 2 bedrooms to install new flooring where carpeting existed. The challenge was matching the existing floor to the new floor - well it is perfect, not close, but PERFECT!! They even did the closets with precision. They made me feel like I was a very important client. This firm epitomizes a style of professionalism one rarely sees. If you are looking for a quality flooring company - look no further because Aprel Flooring is the best. Yuri and company will deliver !!!!!

We replaced 20-year-old carpet throughout our entire home with beautiful engineered hardwood--and the result is nothing short of stunning. - David, our project manager, was responsive and guided us every step--scheduling a site walk immediately, explaining the process clearly, and connecting us with their flooring gallery for expert, no-pressure guidance. - Johnny, the on-site lead, was communicative, accommodating, respectful, and always available. His hands-on leadership kept everything on track and on time. - The install crew was punctual, clean, skilled, and completed our entire home in just two weeks--without cutting corners. Transitions, baseboards, and fine details were flawless. - No surprises, no hidden fees--just honest, fair pricing and clear communication. They stood by their word, every step of the way. Our home now looks brand new. We've worked with many contractors, but Tom's Hardwood Floors sets the gold standard--not just for quality, but for the values of a true family business. Do not look anywhere else. If you want excellence, integrity, and a team that treats your home like their own, Tom's Hardwood Floors is the way.

    Tom's did the floors in my unit a few weeks ago. Here are my thoughts:…read more Pros: - Communication: Generally very prompt communication. I wish I got more updates during construction but they sent them whenever I asked. I liked that they were very contentious about talking with my neighbor when their van was blocking a little bit of their driveway--a lot of contractors wouldn't bother. I also had another neighbor who was causing some issues and they kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. - Price: I talked to several contractors and their price was pretty reasonable--not the lowest nor the highest, more in the middle. Cons: - After construction, I noticed some damage on parts that were supposed to be protected. They were minor damages, but annoying. The most noticeable one was a dent on my TV, which left a white dot that I see every time I turn on my TV, which sucks. - In terms of details, I noticed that there were some dings in pretty noticeable parts of the wood. I don't know if it was the crew or the wood came like that, but when I was testing a wood sample before purchasing, I hit the wood with a hammer and it didn't leave a mark, so it would take a lot of force to leave a dent like the one pictured. Kinda disappointing because the dent is smack in the middle of a high traffic area. Some last notes: - David came by to do a final walk through and helped me move some of the heavier furniture back. It didn't bother me but if you're expecting furniture to be put back the way it was originally, you'll want to manage your expectations. - You should definitely hire painters and cleaners after the construction--I didn't think the walls were going to be as scuffed up as they were. And everything will be superrrr dusty, even if it's covered. - When I expressed concern about not all baseboards being replaced, which I thought was the scope of work, he explained that he told his crew to use existing baseboards when possible. He said he did this to save me some cost and offered me $150 to cover the savings. I generally feel positive about this, although if I hadn't mentioned it I don't think it would've come up, so take that for what it's worth.

No one explained finish options or discussed durability. This was my first time refinishing floors, so I didn't even know I had to ask. Had finish options been explained, I would have chosen and paid for a more protective finish. That conversation never happened. This matters because the floors have since taken on water damage. A single leak ended up ruining a large portion of the kitchen, which made it clear that the finish was not very protective. These are not the hard wood floors you grew up with. This finish is a joke. At first I thought them must have forgotten to add finish. It should be more resilient than this, and water left for longer than 30 seconds damages the floor. When I asked for help matching the small area of new flooring, the company said they couldn't find any and offered no alternatives or solutions. So I have regular wood on some spots just to have a floor. I'm not a perfectionist so they could have at least offered suggestions on close matching floor. It's literally wood in some places, not hard wood. The floors need to be completely redone again. Thousands of dollars wasted
