Art did the flooring in my 1000 sq ft shop in downtown Oakland. It was a tricky job because there was some existing unfinished flooring that he needed to blend in. I also was in a rush to open my doors and he did a fantastic job with short notice and the quality of work is impeccable. (If you see the flooring around the pipes in my spaces, it's a thing of artistry). He did a fantastic job blending the stains so it was just the color I wanted and I get compliments on the flooring all the time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. His workers are very polite, friendly and happy to answer questions. read more

In our opinion, we would not recommend using Artex Flooring. In our experience, the workmanship was substandard. We can provide photos if you request them. read more

The Artex team is professional, precise and very good at what they do. They came out for a quote quickly and booked us shortly after agreeing to the scope. We have white oak floors with a very unique finish. They were damaged and several boards required replacing in addition to matching. We were worried that matching the rest of the house would be difficult because of the unique finish, but the Artex team had no troubles at all. The preparation to keep the rest of our house clean was greatly appreciated and the care that was shown to us and our house was nice. The finished product was very impressive and Raul and Raul (the two guys that did the work) were very knowledgable, personable and respectful. The floors look better than ever and should we ever need wood floor help again, I'll be reaching out to Artex. I highly recommend. read more

Artex Flooring - a hardwood floor in a living room - Flooring Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is an extraordinary company, which delivers exceptional work and customer service. We live in a custom built, ground-up modern home with very unique wood flooring. We had an enormous leak throughout the kitchen (due to human error!) and the work required to repair and restore the floor was extremely complicated. Art (the owner and artisan of Artex), was exceptional in his commitment and professionalism over many weeks to ensure the job was done perfectly. The new area of flooring blends beautifully with the rest of the room, I feat I thought would be impossible. I am already hiring Art to do a second job and I can't recommend anyone more highly in this field of flooring--his craftsmanship, knowledge, trustworthiness, and professionalism is second-to-none! read more

Answered his phone and seemed very knowledgeable about cork flooring and wall covering options. Rates sounded reasonable.

Art and his team were wonderful to work with. They were always on time, great communicators and most importantly their work quality was really great. We had a difficult two room job in Lafayette with a unique marble fireplace on a tight timeframe that his team did an amazing job on. read more

Long overdue review to express my gratitude towards Art and his team for my So. SF property's flooring project plus additional improvement works that Art helped me to resolve while I was trying to manage it from overseas due to the pandemic situation. Art was great with his responsiveness and honest approach, the work done was also in high quality. All in all very pleased to have selected Artex to help with the improvement project and won't hesitate to contact Art again in the future. read more

Art was quick to come out to give a quote, and was personable, informative and honest. I did not use him for my project since he is on the higher end and the current project is for a rental, but as I said to him - when we are ready to move back into the condo ourselves, I will! Great to meet you, Art. read more

Our lives are crazy ... Our parquet floors even more ... Add in unfinished floors ... A two story house ... Painters ... After reading review after review and interview after interview, we found Artex. Simply put, me and my better half were in tears with joy to see our new floors. They were full of old world charm and timeless beauty. Thank you Art. Amazing job, in timely manner, it was easy to communicate any changes and questions. I would put 6 stars if I could:)) read more

The contractor who is doing our major remodel turned me on to Artex Flooring because their price was so good. Turns out they do awsome work. I thought I wasn't going to like the pre-finished flooring but we used narrower pieces which came out looking similar to older oak boards. What's great is there's no mess, smell or waiting -- as soon as it was laid, we moved right back in. When Art installed high quality pre-finished oak in my dining room, he cut the original Edwardian baseboard and fit the new boards under it so that the baseboard. didn't have to be removed and/or replaced. That saved us a lot of hassle and money. He also refinished the adjascent worn oak floor in the kitchen to match the dining room so that both floors looks almost the same. My partner downstairs had new hardwood installed in the new construction extension and all his existing oak floors refinished with a dark stain so that everything matches. Beautiful job. Definately get a bid from them before you decide. read more

odd. he was 10 mins late to the estimate appt. no pad, no card, no tape measure, no pen. he looked at the job, described it with complications no other business described, we had 4 other estimates in two day period, and said he could streamline the difficult, multi faceted, hard to do process. I had to ask twice for the cost, which was 2.85% higher than my most expensive bid of 4..... wow. just wow. I'm super surprised. I won't be following up so I have no idea the credibility of this business. by the way, the job was a small office floor, sand and refinish original floors, which have been carpeted for last 25-30 years. the room is tiny and he wanted almost $3K. read more

We just had Artex install a cork floor in our loft, and they did a great job. Levon was the lead guy; he and his team were friendly, skilled, conscientious and flexible to work with. They finished the job ahead of schedule, and for a little less $ than another installer had estimated. They seemed knowledgable about installing cork, and I assume they are equally capable with other types of floors. I'd happily recommend them to anyone. read more

Art replaced carpet with hardwood for me in two rooms in mid 2014. Overall he did an excellent job. I had concerns about sound and Art was extremely knowledgeable and gave me consistent good advice (which I could verify online) on how to reduce impact sounds transmitted by hardwood to my downstairs neighbor. Getting sustainably harvested hardwood was surprisingly difficult in San Francisco (I looked into doing this myself and there was limited choice and a bunch of salespeople who were less helpful than you'd expect). Doing my own work here helped me choose the wood I wanted, but Art could source it fast and at reasonable cost. I did the finishing of the floors myself, and Art was also extremely helpful with advice on this too, even though he had no financial incentive at this stage: he really gives the impression of caring for his work. He was not the cheapest offer I got for doing this project, but I was very very happy to have selected him for it. read more

Art was so helpful in doing our floors. His knowledge and experience with flooring was invaluable. The work was professional and done with attention to detail and care. The entire team were lovely to work with. We would use him again and recommend him to our friends. So happy with how our floors look. We are very, very happy. read more

My in-laws house burned down in an electrical fire. The whole house had to be rebuilt. We were on a tight budget and wanted a durable product with a high end look. Art guided us to a few flooring lines that fit our parameters. We chose Monarch Planks Windsor Collection of engineered hardwood and we are thrilled with the end results. Art's installation crew did a wonderful job. We would use them again. read more

Art is a knowledgeable hardwood floor guy for sure, but he sold us and then jobbed out ALL the work to completely un-experienced and un-professional laborers who botched the flooring in our entire house. He then sued us to force payment of extra invoices we never agreed to: the judge saw through that and awarded us damages. We had to hire other contractors to fix his work, and now to this day I have to get down on my hands and knees about once a month to hammer down nails which pop up from the flooring. Think twice. read more

Wow. We used Artex simply because their bid was the most economical but we were beyond impressed. The quality of the work surpassed our expectations. After our condo flooded, they came in with an economical bid for very high quality wood floors. They finished the job on time and made sure everything was just perfect. One plank looked a little off to us and although it wasn't a big deal, they ripped it out and re-did part of the dining room. Just fantastic. We also had our crazy 20 month old running around and they were so accomodating of her toys and need of the kitchen. We just stare at the floors every night in awe. Very high quality work... recommend them in a heartbeat. read more

This review is for a office kitchen floor done in 2015, but the flooring is still holding up great after 3 years. (Flooring was Forbo Marmoleum click tile). After a debacle where I had to take our first installer off the job, I was desperate for someone who could come in and complete the job and make it look great. Art was the only one who answered my call and said he could make it happen in the very quick timeframe we needed it in (less than a week turnaround). He charged us for this of course, but his team came in and finished it extremely fast and extremely professionally. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again. read more

We just purchased our first home and we hired Art and his team to remove old carpet and install laminet flooring. Art was such pleasure to work with, he made the process easy and not stressful. I wish we needed more floor work done soon just so we could work with Art and his team again. They're awesome, quick and efficient with their time, professional, reliable and most importantly trust worthy. Love them! read more

We recently had our floors redone by Art and Levon of Artex. They are very professional and have a great team of skilled installers. Flexible and easy to work with, timely, reliable and they offered great advice through the process. We are very pleased with the results- they did an amazing job! Very happy to recommend them. read more

I contacted Artex after looking for a company that had experience installing cork floors. Art showed us options that we never even considered coming in and the project turned out fantastic. Art was very easy to work with and his team installed cork flooring throughout our entire condo - all while we were living there. And they got it done on schedule. Would highly recommend them. read more

Awesome! Art and company are amazing. From advice on selection, educating us on the materials and process, great price, skilled installation, these guys are wonderful to work with through the process. Cannot recommend higher. read more

Art installed new floors throughout our Victorian flat and we couldn't be happier. Art is honest, knowledgeable, well organized, and very friendly. He is hands down the best contractor we have ever worked with. Period. He truly sets a high bar. We initially contacted Art after reading some glowing reviews on yelp (of course). He offered to set an appointment to meet us at his showroom. He was flexible on the day/time to accommodate our schedule. We arrived at his showroom and were given a lot of options for our new floors. Art carefully listened and quickly helped us select the right floors. He made very useful suggestions about how different options would wear (especially with pets), and explained the differences/pros/cons of the types of flooring we were considering. After our visit to the showroom Art came to look at our flat. He quickly assessed the job and made some really important suggestions about what installation methods would look the best, helped us decide on transition points, and called attention to some challenging areas (mostly around stairs and banisters) where he suggested how we might best proceed. He gave us a breakdown of next steps, and an idea of the duration of the job. The quote came via email shortly after his visit. The price and schedule were exactly as he explained in person; there were no surprises. The quote was very fair, and the schedule very reasonable. In all the job - which would include ordering material, demolition and removal of the old floors, installation, and clean up - would take only about four weeks start to finish. We accepted the proposal and set a start date. Art began the work on time. His crew arrived exactly when he said they would, they took exactly as long as he said they would, and the did the job exactly as he said they would. His crews were respectful to the neighbors, and helped accommodate complicated parking arrangements. They communicated progress regularly, and brought up issues and questions as they arose. This seems like rudimentary stuff, but we have had so so so many experiences to the contrary with other contractors. These guys are total pros. Art finished the job on time and on budget. Everything happened just as he said it would. Even months after the job completion Art has been very responsive to questions. We wouldn't hesitate to use Art again, and recommend him without question to anyone. read more

Artex did a fantastic job tearing up all of my upstairs carpeting and replacing it with beautiful cork flooring. It was a huge job that Artex did on time and on budget. Everyone at Artex is knowledgeable and friendly and well as extremely professional. I also had new, wooden risers installed on my stairs that turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined. I am so happy with the work Artex did I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

Art and his team just finished flooring the entirety of our 3 floor Victorian house in Bernal, and he did a fantastic job! It also involved a bunch of unexpected leveling work, corking, and replacing damaged subfloors - at every turn Art and his team were informative, honest, helpful and supportive. He also did the job on budget, and faster than just on time. Fantastic job Art, I'll surely hire you again!! read more

We had a problem with the previous floor installer (he botched the entire job) and Artex "came to the rescue" - in a very short time they helped us with selecting the replacement floor, being on top of the delivery and performed a wonderful installation. What I like about them? Very professional - they are not just installers, they will listen to you and consult you. Very helpful - we had a water leak on Sunday night and they came and helped us. Excellent material selection - they have a very wide range, including exotic and sustainable wood. Oh, and reasonable, in terms of pricing. Great team, easy and pleasure to work with - a rarity in the contractors world... read more

Artex did an absolutely fabulous job with the hardwood in our condo! Art helped us choose the right hardwood that fit our taste as well as our budget. Art gave us a very competitive bid, and his crew was very professional and efficient. The installation was not an easy job, as Art's crew had to start by removing the old hardwood, and our condo building has may restrictions. Despite the challenges, they managed to deliver the finished hardwood floor on time and as promised, and the result is amazing. All in all, Art exceeded our expectations, and we certainly give the highest recommendation to his company. read more

It has been now more than 9 months I know I have to put a very very good review for Art, and Victor. We had two stairs and an entire room floor to be sanded, restored, and mainly, match the rest of the old hardwood floor of the rest of the house. Seemed to be an easy job in our contractor opinion. After his first crew came, did a creepy and sloppy job - after big arguing - he finally brought Art in. Art and Victor had to undo what was previously done and redo it all AFTER the painting was done. White glossy paint on baseboards... They really did a very good job. Hand sanding edges and corners when machines would have damaged the painting. And at the end stained the stairs and the room perfectly. The color matches the old hardwood we have all around the house. And even though it does look newer, after few months I don't see it any more. I already know I will have floor work to be done in the future. Knowing who I can call and trust is already a relieve. read more

When I moved to my new house I was wondering whether to do laminate flooring or no... I looked up different kind of laminates but did not like any.. I called this guys and told them what I want, they did very clean job, they told me to choose color and they finished it exactly as I wanted. I liked it so much that I asked them to make my office walls wooden too. Beautiful job guys thanks a lot...REASONABLE PRICE, CLEAN AND NEAT JOB DEFINITELY WILL USE THEIR SERVICE AGAIN... GOD BLESS YOU... read more

We recently moved into a Potrero Hill condo with the worst flooring one could imagine. The floor was incredibly uneven and warped. Basically, a disaster. Art installed bamboo flooring for us and it is beautiful! Our condo looks incredible now. Art managed to level the floor and transform our space. He and his guys did a great job. I would highly recommend them. read more

Artex flooring just did an amazing job in my old Edwardian apartment. Living room, corridor and stairs look incredible. Art was very responsive and accommodating. Viktor worked very hard all through the week end to finish the job on time. Very professional and clean. I have already scheduled work with them to redo the bedrooms floor as well. read more

Levon and his crew did an amazing job installing my Brazilian Teak wood floors. He is a pleasure to work with and I recommend him to anyone putting in flooring. His prices are very fair and his work is awesome! When there was a mix up at the wood company, Levon took care of it himself and went to pick up the extra wood to make sure the job stayed on schedule. I am new to San Francisco and wasn't sure who I would get to do my floors; I feel fortunate to have found a great guy. I have worked with contractors many times in my other houses and Levon is easily the best. He and his crew work hard and make sure the final product looks brilliant. If you are looking to install wood floors, this is your guy. read more

Both Art and Levon were easy to work with and very accommodating to our price and timing. They met with me several times to look at samples and allowed me to borrow samples to mull over my choice. The install was painless and fast. They also were great when I asked them to come back and touch up a few things. read more

Art is awesome. His work is 5-star and he proactively fixed some sub-flooring damage/rot for a very reasonable price. I was very happy with the work and he completed it a day before schedule. I will definitely work with him again for my next flooring project! read more

I LOVE! my new floors and stairs. The work is definitely high quality and the job involved a challenging bit of design and extra work to fit the new hardwood stairs around an existing banister on the stairs. It all looks great and was timely. Art is great, very nice and accommodating. Wonderful to work with and contentious! read more

Levon beautifully refinished existing hardwood floors in our craftsman home and added perfectly matched oak floors in the hallway and bedroom. The whole project was done ahead of schedule and under budget. Great results. read more

Easy to work with. On time. Beautifully done. Respectful of neatness and perfection. I learned (the hard way) to go with a professional when refinishing floors - after a botched floor refinish - Artex came in and saved the day. I love my new floors and it was just what I wanted... read more

Art and his team of professionals transformed our 50 year old white oak floors into a masterpiece. He is extremely detail oriented.

Working with Art and his crew was a real pleasure. Consummate professionals all, and the quality of execution of the flooring product was exceptional. Art worked hard to achieve the aggressive deadline we'd set, everything happened according to the set schedule and on budget. We're very happy with our installation, and won't hesitate to engage with Art again. read more

We love our new floors. They look 1,000x better than they did originally. There were some missteps along the way, but we're happy we chose Artex Flooring, Inc. read more
