The Darling Flooring recently completed a remodel for us that included three floor-to-ceiling fireplaces and a built-in indoor grill, installed beautiful diamond checkered tile in our entryway, and overall we're very happy with the finished product. To be transparent, our experience was a mix of highs and a few frustrations. What could've been better * He typically arrived at 9:30/10am * He didn't always stay until 5pm * The project did not finish within the original estimated timeline What we loved * The workmanship was exceptional * His experience and expertise clearly showed * He stood by his work and came back after completion to address any issues * Most importantly -- we're extremely happy with the final result Jake is not your typical contractor. He doesn't rush, which can be tough if you're on a strict deadline -- but it's a huge advantage if you care about the details and want things done the right way. He's honest, direct, and gives you his real opinion, which we appreciated. The main reason we hired him was because of his creative, artistic perspective, and that ended up being the biggest difference-maker. These fireplaces weren't simple projects -- the micro-cement finish required someone with skill beyond a cookie-cutter approach, and Jake delivered. Everything came out clean, modern, and exactly the look we were going for (I attached a picture of the fireplace in our master bedroom). He also went above and beyond by helping with things outside of basic fireplace work, including mounting our 85" TV, doing electrical work to hide cords, and hanging the mantel, which we really appreciated. If you need a job done fast, I'd recommend going with someone else. But if you want high-quality work, a creative eye, attention to detail, and someone who will stay within budget and stand behind their work, The Darling Flooring is absolutely the way to go. Thank you, Jake! read more

You can trust Jake. He's busy because he's GOOD. And does a quality job. We had lots of problems with a wet slab (soaked up water from nearby garden). Had to bring in a couple Volkswagen size dehumidifiers for 3 days 24/7. Fortunately Jake had a lot of experience dealing with this problem and we got through it. Finished job was GREAT. Corona Hardwood is Jake's recommendation for material. We like shopping at Floor and Decor but it's kinda like KMart for flooring. read more

Darling Flooring - Rented from Wiest in Riverside. - Flooring Near Me

Very bad experience. Jake is a super nice guy but the 4-6 day job turned in to nearly 3 weeks. It didn't help that he showed up around 11:00 AM every day which after 7 days that's a loss of 21 hours. He was coming from riverside so we cut him slack on the drive but although the floors look ok he left the baseboards for us to do even though it was 100% included. I am now in the process of hiring a different flooring company to come finish his work. He said he felt very good about how he left us. The pictures tell the story. read more

Jake is amazing, professional and his work is beyond incredible. We called him because we wanted to take care of a random bump we had on a hallway. It turned out to be a bit more than what we expected but he still did a perfect job. I highly recommend Jake with any flooring jobs. read more

We are so thankful to Darling Flooring for fixing our floors! We had a bad install on vinyl planks from a previous company that did NOT know what they were doing. Planks were warping and popping up everywhere. Jake came for an estimate and knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. Jake is extremely knowledgeable about flooring and has incredible attention to detail. His work is clean and professional. We honestly could not be happier with the results and will be calling him back for our next project. Thanks Jake! read more

I found Jake and Darling Flooring on Yelp after searching Google for bathroom remodels and epoxy flooring. Jake called me minutes later and said he would come out to take a look...I did send him a few pictures to give him an idea what he would be getting into....He came out, we agreed on a price and he started the next day....It took him about a week which is what he said...He quoted a price and stuck to it with the contract...I am so pleased with the work and the way it turned out....he was able to work with my 1969 bathroom to do what was needed to put in the new tile and flooring of course...Thank you Jake...I will definitely use Jake on my next project which may be epoxy flooring for the garage read more

I didn't use the service because I sold the home with the floor defects. However, I got a detailed estimate and valuable advice. Owner is clearly honest and values a job done the right way read more

I had a few issues with my vinyl floor including a hill/buckling downstairs near the kitchen sink and a big dip upstairs. There was a surprise upstairs that the big dip was due to a poorly done previous repair of a hole, and Jake got all the right materials to fix it. Jake was professional, very thorough, friendly, and very reasonably priced. I'd definitely use him again for any future projects. read more

Great experience with Jake. He is really professional and friendly and got back to us right away. He thought outside the box to repair a 100 year old damaged floor board. Did a great job and highly recommend. read more

We had a great floor installation experience with Jake. He leveled our subfloor and installed our flooring + baseboards. We live in a two bedroom condo and couldn't leave for the work to be done, he worked with and around us so that we were able to stay in our home the whole time. He is very professional and transparent which made us very comfortable hiring him. His pricing is fair and he works hard to make sure you're happy with the work. He is very detail oriented. 10/10 would recommend. 10/10 would hire again. Side note: we're still moving our things back into place so I don't have a photo of the final product with the baseboard yet. Will update later once I can take a photo. read more

We found Darling Flooring on YELP, super helpful. From day one he diligently listened to our desires and was knowledgeable to provide us with various options regarding price, quality and durability, in the most honest & transparent way (not at all pushy!) he provided us with detailed explanations so that we could decide which flooring option to go with. Diligent, neat, thoughtful, considerate human to work with and have around (especially such intimate, extended project all over the house!) Jake is a true joy to have around, he truly took his time to focus on ALL THE DETAILS, this house has nothing but round corners thus the quarter-inch cuts he had to cut all around the house are truly a work of art! If you are looking for a flooring guy, this is the guy, if I had to I would rehire and refer Jake in a heartbeat! And though he is usually solid booked, I would totally wait to make sure DARLING FLOORING does the job! H read more

Jake was Amazing...I knew what I wanted but he pulled it all together and then some. He helped us design our perfect vision. His pricing was spot on and fair. He was a complete joy to have at our home, respectful and personable. We are glad to have our master shower back but my husband and I miss him not coming over everyday now that his job is finished. We will definitely have him do all future tile work in our home. Thank you for everything Jake, we love our shower! read more

Responded to my inquiry a year and a half later. Yes thats right ONE YEAR LATER. Get it together.

Jake and Julio installed almost 2000 sq ft of flooring in under a week. They were always courteous and friendly and did their best to be cleaned up and finished before we came home after work. The floors turned out fantastic and he really went out of the way to make sure that everything turned out perfect. In addition his price was extremely competitive and he did many things that weren't included in higher quotes such as painting the baseboard and moving furniture. Would definitely use again and recommend to others! read more

Gotta start by saying looking for the right person for the job wasn't easy. But when Jake from darling floors came by for the estimate. (On time) which is a must.. He came by with professionalism and knowledge. Made it super easy with the samples of flooring going out of his way to bring them by for my wife and I to look at. Quality at a fair price. Thanks again Jake! read more

I honestly don't know where to start. I remodeled my home about a year ago and the vinyl flooring that was installed by a different company was terribly done. Jake came in and, within a minute, knew exactly what had happened and what needed to be done. He provided a free estimate and didn't try to push us into anything. We decided to go with Darling Flooring and couldn't be happier. He was clean, worked his butt off every day he was there, and is just a great person. He was very professional and would not settle for anything less than 100% satisfaction from us. There were even things we didn't notice, but he was unsatisfied with...so he went back and used a different method to fix the uneven concrete slab issues. He was awesome with my family and kept us comfortable while he was working through every room in the house. If you make a choice, go with Jake and Darling Flooring. I guarantee you won't regret it. He's the best. read more

Not just flooring with Jake, he can do it all. We had him remodel our master bathroom and his work was fantastic. He changed the flooring in the bathroom, changed out the toilet/plumbing, redid the shower with straight clean lines all the way to the ceiling, completely changed out the tub and redid the tile work around it, and rewired the new sconces. In addition to Jake's professional work, he was a joy to have around and was always very receptive to questions or changes. Can't recommend him more. read more

Quick to respond, and good pricing, very cool guy and know what he is going. Giving us good suggestion on flooring materials

Jake was great to work with. Start to finish redid my kitchen floors and backsplash. His quote was more than fair and he and his crew were always polite working around my family. Can't thank him enough, the kitchen looks great and the girls are happy. Looking forward to redoing the shower next, we will definitely be using Darling Flooring. This was our first major upgrade and we love the custom look. read more
