I hired Yuri's company to replace my carpeted stairs with hardwood tread and painted risers. Because the stairs were not oak, they needed to have oak top pieces put on the existing stairs before doing the typical sanding/staining. I found Yuri REALLY easy to work with. Excellent communicator, no surprises. Very happy I hired his team. read more

This is an overdue review. Yuri and his guys did an amazing job installing our Boen hardwood floor 2 years ago. As it happens, we just had a small-ish water leak and have to replace part of said floor. I thought I had left a review 2 years ago as they were amazing, but I guess I was distracted as we had other contractors working on other parts of our place. No hesitation going back to them this time again. You won't find anyone better! read more

Yuri and his team did a great job on our kitchen floor. He gave us several options to fit our budget and the team was efficient and easy to work with. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We had our floor done by Aprel ten years ago now (!). It has remained the nicest flooring in our house. It was done incredibly well and our experience at the time was very good- ten years later we're still glad we choose Aprel! read more

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! read more

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+! read more

I just had the floors in my place converted from laminate & carpet to engineered hardwood in November, 2023. Aprel Flooring was highly recommended by our friends who recently did the same work in their home. Throughout my time working with Yuri he was friendly, communicated with me in a timely manner (a big one for me), took the time to understand what I wanted and provided much-appreciated suggestions/guidance along the way. The two gentlemen who did the majority of the work were true craftsman and extremely professional. Both my wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product and I would strongly recommend Aprel Flooring to anyone in the market for this kind of work. read more

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. read more

Yuri and team deliver high quality craftsmanship, fair pricing, and are very trustworthy. They did our entire downstairs wood flooring and stairs. We are thrilled with the results. Yuri also took time to come back a year later to address a question I had and gave me very insightful advice. 100% recommend! read more

We are in the process of deciding what to do with the flooring in our new home. We have not hired anyone yet. So why am I giving Aprel a 5 star review already? Because of their high integrity, honesty, and helpfulness. Yuri came out and saw my property. He was open and honest about my options. He did not try to hard sell me to hire him, but gave me options. He even suggested a second vendor who he says is great to get another price quote and assessment, and then compare. I asked him 8 questions across 3 emails and he gave me detailed and very helpful replies. To me this is old school good business - someone who knows their talent and skill and is not trying to force your hand or commit before you're ready. Someone who is willing to help, not just after you have signed a contract. You can read the other reviews for the work they have done - it's clearly great - but I wanted to write this review to emphasize that, at the very least, for your flooring job, you can really trust Aprel and they should very much be one of the couple flooring experts you contact to potentially hire. read more

I contacted Yuri for a consultation in repairing our original wood floors in San Francisco. He was super responsive and knowledgeable about older houses in the city, and gave lots of honest opinions about what could and couldn't be done with the floors. We ultimately decided to refocus on another project in our house since we had lots going on, but I'm looking forward to working with him in the future. I would recommend going with Aprel just based on the consultation experience alone! read more

I got quotes from 4 flooring contractors to replace the hardwood floors in about 800 sqft in our basement. Yuri from Aprel Flooring gave a quote that was in line with 3/4 of the quotes and did a great job. Yuri had by far the best communication of all 3 contractors, and ended up doing a great job. Once the job started, we noticed a lot of knots with the floorboards we bought and the team worked with us to reserve some of the more knotty boards to less visible areas. The floorboards are really tightly packed with no noticeable gaps. The job was very thorough and detailed. We called them to fix up the floors after we had to rip out a few boards to fix something underneath, and their job just patching a few boards was great too. read more

Yuri/Jury and his team are as professional as it gets. Literally cannot complain about anything, and I can complain. Just go with these guys. Reasonable ~$5/sqft installation cost, including moving heavy items, trim work, and cleanup. No materials. Accepts Venmo. read more

I had to get the flooring replaced for my entire apartment and got multiple quotes. Yuri at Aprel was not only responsive, but extremely flexible to work with (I got the wood and Aprel did the installation). Explained the different sound padding options and costs, etc. Very reliable, highly recommend. read more

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! read more

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. read 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 !!!!! read more

Yuri and his team nailed it. Yuri came by for a free estimate when our floor experienced water damage due to an upstairs neighbor's leak. When we were ready to get started on the work, Yuri offered to start the very next week. They were fast, super friendly, always on time, clear with communication, careful with our home - and above all - they did fantastic work. They were a dream come true to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a trustworthy, experienced professional working on their home. read more

Yuri of Aprel Flooring was a pleasure to work with. He provided timely and reasonable estimates, returned my calls, answered flooring questions and helped us navigate the hardwood floor selection and installation process. The results are great. I highly recommend Yuri and his crew as a dependable and a very professional team. read more

I do not know how to even start this review. Yuri and his team are exceptional. Yuri and his team just did the flooring in our flat in San Francisco. It is gorgeous, perfection and the best. Yuri is very professional, knowledgable, make sure there are no surprises and goes above and beyond to make his clients happy. It was the easiest floor job we have done and please do not waste your time and contact him if you need flooring. I always doubt all the 5 star reviews. I am being honest. This is the real deal. Thank you Yuri. Your ROCK. read more

I had a great experience with Yuri and his team for my vinyl plank flooring installation. Consistent with other reviews, Yuri was extremely professional and responsive. Despite being a smaller job, he was able to fit me into his schedule finish the job quicker time he initially quoted. He was able to meet my HOA's insurance requirements and provide the necessary documentation. I'm very satisfied with the finished product and would highly recommend him to others. read more

If I could give 50 stars I would! Undergoing our first home renovation and having a Type A personality, I went to great lengths researching and interviewing a multitude of flooring companies across San Francisco and I can't emphasize enough how lucky we were to find Yuri at Aprel Flooring. From the very onset and our first communication, Yuri was extremely professional, detailed and hihgly responsive - his extensive knowledge, expertise and experience were immediately apparent and we knew right away that Aprel was by far the choice and perfect partner for our project. When explaining the process and addressing any questions or concerns, Yuri was extremely responsive, clear and detailed in his communications and has amazing patience addressing the multitude of questions I had. Throughout every step of the process, he provided invaluable advice and guidance and the results were simply outstanding and better than we could have ever expected. The Aprel crew is truly fantastic - highly skilled and experienced at their craft, professional and warmly personable. The care they show for their clients is unparalleled. One of our biggest concerns in undergoing a renovation was the potential disruption to our daily routine and we assumed that it would be an inconvenient process, but knew we'd have to just suffer through it if we wanted a more beautiful home. Working with Yuri and his team, however, the reality couldn't have been farther from the truth and disproved all of our assumptions. Yuri and his team are so highly experienced and organized, that they know exactly how to coordinate the process in a manner that made no disruptions whatsoever to our routine - in fact, we actually looked forward to seeing the crew every day! We were so impressed at how incredibly detail oriented, organized and personable they were and how spotless they left things at end of each day! Moreover, it was so convenient to just hand the crew a set of keys at the start of the project and know without a shred of doubt that you could trust them 100% with no need to ever be there - it was beyond invaluable that we didn't have to adjust a minute of our work and personal schedules at any point during the entire project. The crew took care of everything! Bottomline, I can't recommend Aprel enough to anyone with a flooring project - I guarantee you will be absolutely thrilled with the highest level of professional service and craftsmanship they provide. It was wonderful seeing how they truly care about your home. Our only wish was that we reached out to Aprel sooner! They went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations every step of the way! Stop your search and look no further! read more

Aprel flooring delivers the goods. Great craftsmanship. Yuri and his crew David and Dolphino did a great work our our condo. From old carpet to a new beautiful red oak floor, our new wooden floor and solid oak staircase looks good. Excellent finish. Thank you! We indeed recommend. read more

They have done pretty good job on my wood floor, highly recommonded.

I had a very good experience working with this company. In the end, they recommended that I keep my existing hardwood, as it was still in good shape. They sent me two quotes for refinishing and for installation at my request, and they were very competitive. I would highly recommend them. read more

Yuri and his team at Aprel Flooring are the best of the best! We recently purchased a home that had some troublesome wood floors. They were popping, some separated, and just overall not something I wanted to keep in my home. Yuri quickly came and assessed what needed to be fixed, provided a reasonable quote, and literally started the project within a couple days. My floors no longer pop, look great, and I couldn't be more pleased. What I appreciated most was how clean everything was left by him, Delfino and David. If you need hardwood floor install, seriously only hire Aprel Flooring, you'll be in great hands! read more

Yuri is super helpful and willing to go the extra mile. I had an issue with my flooring which was done by another company, and called him to see if he could fix it. He promptly responded and even though he was booked up and wasnt able to take on the project with such short notice, he still took the time afterwards to research the specs of what I bought and sent me detailed options on how I could fix it. read more

I would have loved to be able to rate Aprel Flooring on the job they did on the floors for my kitchen remodel, but since they didn't show up for the appointment to look at the space or even bother to call... Thanks for wasting my time, by the way. And I would like to say I am surprised or disappointed, but it is apparently endemic with far too many contractors in the City. I guess they are lucky to be so busy they can blow potential customers off. Seriously, how friggin' hard is it to call someone and say they can't make it or at least apologize for not showing up? A modicum of common courtesy anyone? Sure, I could have called and nagged, but I am so past that. I never thought it would be such a pain in the ass to line contractors up to take my money. But again, good for them that they are so flush with business they don't need mine now or in the future. read more

I hired Aprel Flooring in 2010 to install laminate floors and tiles in my condo. They did an amazing job! Yuri and Oleg were great to work with; very responsive and professional. Before getting started on the installation, I had some design changes, and they didn't hesitate to come back to the condo to remeasure the floors and provide me with new quotes. They are such friendly people, and they definitely know what they're doing. Aprel Flooring is an awesome company that does amazing work! I highly recommend them! read more

Yuri was simply amazing. Best and easiest experience of working with a contractor. He is very knowledgable, responsive, detail oriented, meticulous, trust worthy, nice and easy to deal with.

So things always go wrong for me. I've never done any project that just went smoothly... so with that, I fully expected Yuri and David to cause or find some problem like maybe finding an Indian burial ground between the primer and finish coat. But... Everything went great! Very reasonable quote, showed up on time, helped me disassemble and move a refrigerator with no grumbling, and David (who did most of the work) went out of his way to do a great job - even replacing a few boards that maybe could have stayed. Cleaned up well and even offered to come back after the floor had dried to help me move fridge back. Very high quality work, friendly, prompt and no burial ground. Six stars. read more

My real estate agent recommended Aprel Flooring when we decided to change out the carpet in our rental unit in the Infinity tower. I contacted Yuri, explained what we expected, he sent out few samples for us to make the selection. After that, everything went efficient and smoothly. He has done few projects in the building, so he was familiar with the complicated process from getting the approval from the HOA, scheduling the loading dock, material delivery and installation. Throughout the project, I have never met him in person, yet, he completed the whole project within one week after the HOA approval. The floor is absolutely beautiful, and the process is painless, efficient, and professional. I wish every remodel project is as easy as this experience! read more

Thank you Yuri and team for patching our hardwood floor! Wife extremely happy....and husband now out of the dog house. Yuri was the ONLY flooring contractor who took the time to care for us and do a small wooden floor patch job until we replace our entire downstairs floor. He did not have to do it, but he did. Once we finish our other home projects and replace our old engineered wood floors......Yuri and his team are the ONLY COMPANY we will call. Yelpers are right, Yuri is a honest businessman and a man of his word. Thanks again! read more

I've used Aprel Flooring for three projects in the past nine months: installation of hardwood flooring across four rooms, baseboards throughout our 3000 square foot home, and replacement of a whirlpool bathtub and creation of a custom tub enclosure. In all projects I multi-bid the project with cost, skill, and job strategy / planning as criteria. Yury and his team spent the time to talk about what we wanted to have done, make suggestions, and develop a detailed understanding of the job and deliver a detailed quotation. I felt comfortable that I knew what I was getting and that I was getting a fair price for the work involved. Yury and his team's talent is clearly hardwood floor installation, and they made my fairly large installation go rapidly with clean and high quality results. I had other contractors working in the area at the same time on other projects and Aprel was professional and efficient. In addition to the hardwood floors, Aprel installed baseboards and transformed our tub surround from a sketch to reality. They consulted us and took direction on critical decisions, and I always felt that they wanted to make the best possible resulting product, and never felt time or money was the issue. Once negotiated, the price stayed constant... not something I can say about all the contractors I've worked with. Yury is direct and accurate about job duration and the team's availability, even to the point of declining work if they cannot make it happen within the desired timing. read more
