    Uneven flooring
    Georgina F.

    At the time of installation we loved the team - fast, polite and great with our dogs. They gave us a solution that we thought was perfect, which saved us replacing our entire wood floor downstairs from a flood. However, the installation did not go well and one year later the floor is not level, there are marks in the wood where one of the solutions didn't work, and we now face having to redo the work to level out the boards. At the time we did get given a discount because the installation wasn't flat, but with hindsight I wish we'd insisted the work get done again, as its continued to raise up. The one positive I can give is that they perfectly matched our existing floor wood which had been discontinued, with a new brand. We were also not the easiest job as we'd flooded, so we knew this wasn't a straightforward installation. I just wish at the time we'd been given more options than 'here is some money back', and that we'd got the job done right. If you do choose to go with this team, be careful to really inspect the work before you give the final payment.

    Cleaning the sub floor

    We purchased a home in Oceanside that had carpets and distressed engineered wood. Dog urine in the bedroom carpets were unbearable and previous owner tried to cover the urine stains on the wood flooring by doing a bad job of DIY refinishing. Had to remove old flooring, clean and deodorize the cement, level and install new wood floors. It turned out beautiful. They did a FANTASTIC job. Worth every $ spent.

    I highly recommend Geary Floors! My wife and I had a great experience working with Tad. He is super knowledgeable (and patient for putting up with my endless questions!). Tad was also very flexible when we needed to reschedule last minute because of things I needed to deal with at work. On the day the work started, everyone was on time and took the time to walk the entire downstairs so we were on the same page for everything. Jose was great, he made sure we walked through every room and made sure they knew exactly what we wanted. Robert was very nice and helpful with moving away the demo'd flooring and arranging the delivery of the new floor. Carlos was our main point of contact each day. I was away for work but Carlos met with my wife each day to show her the progress and tell her the plans for the next day. They stayed late a couple nights (after asking if we were OK with it) to make sure that they finished the project in five days. And when they finished, they really cleaned up everything nicely- so much so that my wife commented that we didn't even need to swiffer the floors. Again, it was a great experience start to finish. The floors look great- excellent craftsmanship! We will definitely choose Geary Floors again when we are ready for our next flooring project.

    Very impressed with their response and quality of service. Tad led the way with full explanation and follow up. They gave us a date and was there as promised. Our 25 year oak floor was refinished perfectly and looks like a basketball court. Dominic and Eduardo was great to work with. Always respectful, clean and was always on time. We had to live without our downstairs for a week, but their work ethic made it easier to live with. I'm in the contracting business, and will call them on the next opportunity.

    This is the master bedroom there was an addition and very unlevel between the two floors

    We hired Geary floors to level our cement foundation. We had two additions and the floors needed an extreme amount of sanding and leveling to prepare them for our dream wood floors. The preparation was tough clearing it out and we braced for the mess. John and Eduardo made the process so much better than expected. The first thing that impressed us is that they came on time. We've had so many contractors and that's one thing that usually never happens. They covered our kitchen cabinets even though we told them we would be replacing. What was wonderful was that the dust was kept under control and they cleaned up every day. They finished in three days. They worked through extreme heat. I was very impressed. I will be hiring the company to actually do my wood floors. Had a great experience. Thank you Geary floors, John and Eduardo.

    Living room prep

    We recently had Sean Geary & his amazing team refinish original douglas fir & white oak floors in our 99 year old La Mesa Craftsman home. Sean came recommended & exceeded our expectations in every way! From initial contact to final payment... Sean & Team were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, caring & genuine throughout each phase of our project. Very thankful for referral & reasonable pricing! I can't say enough about Humberto & Sam's work ethic, attention to detail, passion & commitment to excellence....truly exceptional craftsmanship! We had several defective planks which required replacement. They effectively dealt with every challenge presented to them & more importantly, took the time necessary to ensure our floors were refinished correctly! We highly recommend Geary Floors. Sean & Team are true floor replacement & refinish rockstars!!!

Installation was superb. Frank(?) and his sons came to install most of it, and we were especially thankful they were thorough with eliminating squeaks in the underlying floorboards (when they could). The overall quality of the job was great. At no extra charge to us, they replaced the noses of our stairs since they found them a bit weak & squeaky once they took the old carpet off. Happy with the Mohawk SmartCushion underlayment as well - I don't think we had a choice here but feeling it now with our Fabrica carpet, it's great. Highly recommended for a seamless, straightforward experience!

    Yes they have a great selection of flooring and their employees are very friendly, but there were…read moretoo many errors to recommend this company. First, I was recommended by the flooring contractor, who said they would get me the contractor price, which I was told when I purchased from Rayo. As it turns out, the "contractor price" was just their normal price, which I verified by calling and asking for the price. Secondly, they screwed up my underlayment order, giving me a lower-quality underlayment that I thankfully caught before the contractor installed it. This may have had the consequence of needing the flooring to be ripped out and underlayment replaced due to HOA rules of minimum sound abatement quality. And third, they couldn't find a flooring piece and told my contractor it was located at a different store, sending them from this location to Clairmont during rush hour. The piece was actually at this location, but they didn't even try looking for it. This delayed my project two days. Overall, they are untruthful and seem to be careless and unprofessional.

Our main request was for the new flooring to match our current stair treads which was solid oak, English Chestnut stain, and oil-based polyurethane wood finish (a meticulous lengthy process but leads to superior results). Their bid matched the market rate, and with the other reviews, we decided to go with Joes Hardwood. The team delivered and we are happy with the result. The current team managing Joe's is young and hardworking. My only feedback is to improve on their time-management especially when arrival time is different from the confirmed/scheduled time. A final suggestion that the team review the bid as it includes specifics about the project and type of finish. Overall, happy with their work and if need be in 20 years will hire them again to refinish.
