I'm so happy that I went with Blue Ribbon for my hardwood floor refinishing. I pulled up the carpet myself to find the hardwood, which had a lot of staining and damage - I wasn't sure if it could even be salvaged. Blue Ribbon blew me away with not only their professionalism, candor, and reasonable price, but also the meticulous, thorough, and fantastic work they did. They asked me questions if they ran into something that needed my input, and they also kept me well-apprised of the process. They ended up having to rebuild the stair landing because it could not be salvaged, and did an amazing job, it blends right into the rest of the flooring. I'm so impressed, I'd recommend them to anyone! Check out the before and after photos I've attached. read more

When I decided to replace the decades old carpet in the 1971 Carmichael house I grew up in, with a real 3/4" tongue and groove oak floor, I reached out to Blue Ribbon flooring. An older contractor I had started with had to pass on the job by no fault of his own due to a medical condition. I was worried it would be hard to find someone with the same level of knowledge. My main reason in choosing them was because they JUST do real hardwood floors. I had lived pretty much only in houses with hardwood floors my entire adult life up until this point so the ease of care wore off on me. Also being an amateur carpenter myself, i had an appreciation for the trade. I was definitely correct in this approach. For one thing, they run a clean operation, literally, there wasn't a speck of dust getting out of the work site due to them using a very high quality dust capture system, which if anyone has ever worked with hardwood, you know how much fine and microfine dust it can generate. They also got me a really good price on the wood flooring which was partially timing but also conscientious attention to detail before starting the job. The rest of the review is basically their quality craftsmanship, as you can. see from the photos they did a very tight, undercut of the rock fireplace in the room they were doing the install and I still marvel at this. In the end. the floor looked as if it had always been there. which to me, is a sign of success! I let them recommend. distinguished color and level of darkness and I'm glad I let them decide, because they matched everything color-wise to what was already in the house! I am on a fixed income and I had to get approval from other family members to do the work but they were really competitive price wise when it came to material and labor and in the end i got a more expensive floor for less than it would have otherwise cost, especially since I opted to do the demo of the original floor myself before they started. But if you have them demo it, it's not that much more so that part is really up to you. read more

We contacted Bob to do a repair on a damaged section of hardwood flooring for one of our clients. The client is an extremely busy person, and Bob continued to be in contact with him in order to set up an appointment at the client's convenience. He completed the job and it looks great and the client is happy. Always responsive, professional and great customer service! Very impressed with this company! read more

Bob was prompt and honest and 1 month before refinishing our engineered floors in the entire house he insisted on doing a test in closet. He was the only company that took the time to make sure our expectations matched what was possible. Bob , Dan and the entire crew were pleasant professional and always communicated every step of the process. Closing up our house and texting me before they left. The quality of work is amazing and I think we love the floors even more than when we originally picked them out. He saved us so much money by refinishing and not ripping them out. We never knew it could actually be done as every other floor company said they couldn't do it. The pictures speak for themselves and we will definitely be calling them every 5 years to maintain them! Thank you again Blue Ribbon Flooring entire crew for your beautiful work! Best company ever!!! read more

I'm so happy I found Blue Ribbon Flooring. I had termite damage in my hardwood flooring and Bob came to the rescue! He was prompt, personable, efficient, and fixed my flooring while being sensitive to my budget. His price was more than reasonable and I know that when I'm ready to do more work on the floors I know who to call. Thank you Bob! read more

If you like disfigured floors, extensive scratch and swirl marks, wavy floor appearance, and overall poor workmanship, then Blue Ribbon Floor is for you (see photos). We gave him a second chance to resand and refinish, yet the same mistakes were repeated and new ones were created in the process. You can only sand so much until you wear down the floor excessively, yet Bob managed to do that to a floor that had never been previously sanded. You would think you got a great value out of their high-priced services, but their work is beyond subpar. Their irreparable and irreversible damage to our home has required us to replace this otherwise new hardwood floor entirely. Now he's under active investigation by the CSLB for several violations relating to this project, yet he still refuses to make things right. Please think twice before hiring Bob. (You can also check CSLB for his prior complaints and citations on workmanship.) read more

I found Blue Ribbon Flooring online and feel like I hit the jackpot. My hardwood floor (in my kitchen) is 28 years old and was starting to show it. After meeting with Bob and receiving a very reasonable quote for refinishing, a date was set. The two guys were right on time! Explained exactly what they were going to do and the timing. They were here a few hours on the first day. One guy came back the next day for about 90 minutes. Both days required several hours of drying. They were timely, polite and no mess at all. I HIGHLY recommend Blue Ribbon Flooring! read more

Bob at blue ribbon flooring is the man! Great customer service and professional. He was able to start our floors within a week of me choosing him for my floors. Anytime I had a question I would text him and he would reply very quickly. He is very knowledgeable about what he does. He kept me in the loop with phones calls. His employees were respectful and courteous to my home. They never left a mess, they made sure my front and back door was locked everyday without me having to remind them. On top of that my floors look amazing! read more

Blue Ribbon Flooring - Weathered Oak stain. - Flooring Near Me

I am at awe that Blue Ribbon Flooring has so many 5 star reviews. We had some existing hardwood flooring refinished and added additional square footage into the rest of the living spaces in our home. The installers damaged the walls beyond belief- glue everywhere and dings and dents on new sheet rocked walls. The house was left unlocked and windows open multiple days after the crew left, even after asking to ensure house was closed and locked at the end of the day. There are cracks between boards and boards that don't even meet where the baseboard comes to the wall. The top seal coat is already peeling off in our living room. We are very unhappy with the craftsmanship and want to warn anyone else in advance of booking this company and ruining their hardwood floors. read more

I am in LOVE with my new floors. Bob & Blue Ribbon Flooring Team were awesome to work with. They are honest, reliable, and did an incredible job with the floors in my new house. I can't say enough about the team. I would use them again and again & will be referring them to everyone I know. read more

Blue Ribbon Flooring - a closeup of a hardwood floor - Flooring Near Me

I can't speak highly enough about Blue Ribbon Flooring. We purchased a home last August with very nice hardwood floors yet the color and style wasn't us. Bob came out to our home and worked to find the perfect color for our flooring and completely modernized our hardwood stairs. We absolutely love how Bob transformed our home. Our floors our gorgeous and we will absolutely will use Blue Ribbon Flooring again. Thank you Bob! read more

Do not hire Blue Ribbon Flooring. We having been dealing with poor work from Them since June and my floors are a complete mess. He left our home a mess. He blamed the poor workmanship on a material defect even after Mannington tested the floors and proved to him that it wasn't a material defect. We have been dealing with the floors peaking since June. Robert did not do a moisture test before he had his guys start layup no the new floors. Poor customer service. Robert prides himself on having the best stair guy, but his stair guy chipped the ends of the material when installing them and covered it with a dark marker to cover the chips. Robert has made zero effort to take care of the problem and mess that was caused by his company. read more

5 well deserved stars. Bob and his crew are professional, polite, and they know floors. We have a white oak floor that needed sanding and finishing and we needed a stain color for it to match an existing laminate that is right next to the oak floor. It's almost a perfect match. I don't know if you could get any closer to be honest. The finish is just beautiful. You'll be happy if you choose Blue Ribbon Flooring. read more

Blue Ribbon just refinished our hardwood floors, and they look beautiful! Bob was able to give great advice on what may be best for our floors and lifestyle, and the quality of the work is amazing. We are so excited that we updated our vintage home with these floors! More than just the look of our floors, Bob ensured that he and his crew were done on time and worked longer hours on the last day so we could move back into our home. He was also so gracious with all of our questions and concerns and texted/called us back right away. Thank you to Bob and his guys who worked on our home! read more

We recently purchased a very old home with carpet. We pulled the carpet up and found wood floors that were in okay condition but definitely needed some work. Blue Ribbon Flooring did an absolutely amazing job restoring them. They definitely take pride in their level of craftsmanship. It was pretty cool to watch them cut out individual damaged boards and fit new boards perfectly into place. They sanded the floors perfectly level and even went the extra mile for us - e.g., like removing some of the closet tracks so they could sand smoothly throughout our rooms. Bob - the owner of Blue Ribbon - is amazingly responsive. He'll call to check in on how the project is going and he was super patient with our indecisiveness on some stuff. This is a GREAT company. I will go no other place to get our wood floors repaired or restored. They look amazing!! read more

We bought a 1963 house that had been painted without careful masking, so in addition to regular wear and tear on the original oak flooring, it had paint everywhere. We had Bob and his crew do an abrade and re-coat. While it didn't get every scratch and stain out (we didn't expect it to), it got rid of all the paint drips and gave the floors a major facelift. They were easy to work with, quick, and fairly priced. Floors look great! read more

I got on my knees in both rooms they put hardwood floors in. I could not find one imperfection. They installed white oak hardwood, installed coating and cleanup. They were not cheap but they sure were professional. I have one more room to do and they will have the job. By the way it only took them 2 days for my large master and three days for my really large great room. I will not hesitate to recommend this company. read more

We hired Blue Ribbon because they did an outstanding job on the wood floors of a neighbor with a similar home. I contacted Bob and he arranged for Daniel to meet me at our "new" home to determine the nature of refinishing needs. Bob sent a quote a day later which we knew to be very reasonable for our project. In every way Blue Ribbon has been on time and totally responsive to our needs and requests. Every step of the process was explained in detail. The three technicians were wonderful and went "the extra mile" to be sure we were continually informed on the progress of the job. A twenty-one year old, very tired looking floor now looks brand new. Their pride in the job was evident and it was a genuine pleasure to pay their invoice upon completion of the job. read more

Blue Ribbon Flooring rocks. On time. On budget. Polite at all times. Patient with all of our questions. They said it, then did it. That is a pretty rare experience when it comes to home improvement projects these days. Highly recommend. read more

After investigating and receiving quotes from several reputable companies I spoke to Bob at Blue Ribbon Flooring at length and had a good feeling that I'd found the right company. Bob, strategized with me to find a great product and great pricing on my flooring, as well as handled coordinating the demo and install. If Bob promises to be there at 8am he is there at 7:45am at the latest! His crew couldn't have been more professional, and the final result is gorgeous. We are so thrilled! read more

We have a 50 year plus old home with hardwood floors. Some were under rugs and others not. The floors had never been refinished in all those years. Blue Ribbon came in and the floors are beautiful! Really brightened up every room. Still have floors to do and will call them again. Great service and great people to work with. read more

I recently purchased a home with a highly textured engineered wood floor throughout the house that had multilayers of heavy wax and ground-in dirt. In short: the floor was gross. Multiple floor specialists (3) said it could not be cleaned/restored and that I needed a new floor. Then a friend suggested I call Blue Ribbon Flooring and was assured the floor could be cleaned. In three days' time, my floor was expertly stripped and restored to its old glory. During the cleaning, Bob kept me updated on a regular basis. Bob and his guys are truly knowledgeable professionals. More importantly, the team was COVID compliant, polite, and extremely helpful in teaching me how on how to care for my floor. Most importantly there are no odors from the process. Extremely happy with the results! read more

These guys are the best! My experience with Blue Ribbon Flooring was fantastic. They were on time, on budget, and the work they do is nothing short of amazing.

If you need flooring work, call Bob, you won't regret it. read more

Bob and his crew refinished my hardwood floors and installed a new kitchen floor as well in August of this year. They did a beautiful job. Bob is a very nice young man who was easy to talk to, easy to work with, and very responsible. He was also a compassionate fellow who helped ease my worries while going through the process. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for some quality work with a pleasant experience. S. Pinkham read more

Blue Ribbon was quick to outbid other flooring companies. In two and one-half days they turned fifty year old floors in original beautiful condition. Bob is highly professional in following up to make sure we were safisfied with the job. His crew worked fast and efficiently. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service and work at a very competitive price. I was so happy w my wood flooring that I referred them to my contractor who has also used them. read more

The owner Bob showed up on time. He provided a quote for the work promptly. He was not the cheapest or most expensive bid, but was on the lower side. He gave me a clear and concise scope of work, which made apparent that he wasn't going to try to nickel and dime me at the end of the job. His crew showed up the day they said they would, also on time. They were clean and respectful. They did an excellent job patching an area that was missing. You can't even tell where the old floor ends and the new floor begins. They also did an amazing job of matching the color to the existing floors in the rest of the house, which I had no idea what color it was. They finished the job on schedule. They did an awesome job cleaning up after themselves. The price was exactly what was quoted. No extra add-ons. This is a first class company, that does a first class job. Begin to end. Thanks Bob, Dan, and Sam. I would most definitely recommend them, for all your flooring needs. A+ read more

Loved, loved, loved working with Bob and his team. They were consistently on time, on task and produced a beautiful end result. Additionally, Bob asked great questions that busy homeowners often don't consider...questions that are key to a satisfied customer. Speaking of satisfied customers, I'm definitely one of those and highly recommend Blue Ribbon Flooring. read more

Sad to say, blue ribbon stole the show. Built out a chiropratic office from vanilla shell, was going lay down laminate, on the grungy floors but decided to give Robert a call. He showed up as promised and made the floors the focal point of my job. :-) Thanks again. read more

I am so in love with my new and improved floors from Blue Ribbon Flooring. I called several very flaky floor people and it was only Bob that returned my call the same day. He was eager and willing to schedule an estimate. He was on time, love that, and very congenial, pleasant and best of all....knowledgable! That was a selling point, someone standing in my home that knew what they were talking about. That gives me a whole lot more confidence hiring someone and having them in my home. Did I mention his prices were OUTSTANDING. When he left my home he was so good I thought surely his prices would be double what he presented. (he should charge more for his quality of work so hire him before he figures it out!). I got to choose my start date, he said yes he can accommodate me. The job went TERRIFIC. Bob has an amazing crew but let it be known he was at my home everyday and texted me in the evenings asking me how I was with the progress. He had some real tough spots to make look pretty again, water spots, dents, missing misses. Can't see anything anymore except BEAUTIFUL floors! Did I mention his phenominal system that sucks up 99% of the dust! I am so happy I went with Blue Ribbon. I am so happy with the work and it was money well spent. He is so communicative, always available to his customers. I put him to use at many hours of the day. He's right there. Hire him without worry! read more

Hi was very impressed with the work done by Blue Ribbon Flooring. They were able to make a 70 plus year floor look brand new. Bob the owner gave us a very competitive price and layed out all the options. He was even able to patch an area that was an old heater vent and make it look exactly like the rest of the floor. He even agreed to help move a piano into the other room and then came back after the job to help put it back, truly customer service. read more

Blue Ribbon Flooring did an excellent job. My floor was in terrible shape from having been incorrectly finished. I wasn't sure if it could be salvaged. It's so beautiful now that I want to hang a red velvet rope across the door so no one ever steps on it! They work was performed on time and amazingly, with very little dust. They worked with my budget and even moved the furniture that I could not move. They could not have been nicer and more considerate. I can't recommend them highly enough and will definitely have them back if any other floors need to be done. read more
