I cannot praise PhilTheFloorGuy highly enough. Everything they did was top-notch, above-and-beyond from start too finish. Let me start by saying I am an architect and my wife is an interior designer so we have high standards for excellence. Phil came and gave me an honest and helpful assessment of my existing floors. Phil and Rudy helped me receive the flooring which I had ordered. They were flexible with the delivery person's schedule. The delivery person would only drop a pallet at the top of the hill where I live and Rudy brought 28 bundles in two at a time. This was three weeks prior to the install mind you! The install occurred while I was out of town for a month. Phil made it a point to check in with me daily, sent me pictures and his team did a flawless job. They had to cut the existing baseboard and bottom of some doors and it all looks amazing. And his price was very competitive. My advice is that even if his price comes in higher than someone else, you should still work with Phil. Thank you, Phil! read more

Awesome job! We contacted Phil for help with a damaged section of engineered hardwood from heavy traffic and a pet feeding area. Using equal parts craftsmanship, artistry, experience and some miracle worker moves, the floor looks great after he finished. It blended well into the existing area. Minimal disruption in the home and extremely clean/dust control techniques. Beyond satisfied and highly recommend Phil. read more

I contacted Phil initially to repair an area in my living room that had water damage. He was going to replace some damaged boards. I then decided that as long as he was here I would refinish all of my hardwood floors as they were pretty worn out. From start to finish, Phil's professionalism, attention to detail and exceptional customer service truly stood out. The quality of work was exceptional. They put plastic barriers where they were sanding and refinishing so the process was very clean. My floors are absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Aside from the remarkable workmanship, Phil's customer service was top notch. He took the time to understand my specific needs and communicated regularly ensuring that I was informed and involved in every step of the process. Time management was another area where Phil excelled. He completed the work within the timeframe. Phil's dedication to delivering exceptional results, coupled with his impeccable customer service and efficient time management, truly puts him at the top of his craft. I am extremely pleased with my floors. Thank you Phil the Floor Guy for transforming my floors so beautifully. read more

Phil to the rescue! I cannot speak highly enough about him. He fixed a job that another guy left unfinished and refused to complete. Phil was responsive and super kind throughout the entire process. If you need hardwood floor help. Phil is your guy!! For a little background, we had another floor person work on our wooden floors that had been damaged due to water and dog pee stains. This other person only did half the job leaving the floors with stark color differences. He claimed that color matching wasn't possible for spot repair and that he never agreed to that. We reached out to Phil after a referral from a family member who worked with Phil for a large floor replacement and some spot fixes with color matching. The work he did for them was perfection so we jumped at the chance to work with him. He was so easy to communicate with, worked with me on a schedule, we discussed in detail what was possible, and subsequently agreed on a date only a few weeks out. He just completed the spot repair color match for us and it looks amazing! I couldn't be happier. Thank you Phil for making my day! You know I'll be reaching back out for any other hardwood floor needs I have. read more

I highly recommend PHIL the floor guy to you! He fulfilled everything he promised. His work is high quality and the job was done on time. He is flexible, kind, hard-working and I will definitely be using him on another job in the future. He is in Marin County, CA and I am in Sonoma County, CA and he drove out here after the job was done to finish a small part of the job that we both agreed to and that's an honest man. Thank you again Phil! Kindly, Alicia M. of Santa Rosa read more

PFG is amazing. I had reached out to three different companies to get quotes for having my original cherry hardwood floors refinished. I wanted the floors to be much lighter. They were very dark and red and pretty beaten up. Not only was Phil's quote reasonable, he was responsive, thorough, and trustworthy. He walked me through my options and left me feeling like I made a well-informed decision. Phil actually refinished my floors while I was in Europe. I left keys for him and the work was all done when I got back. (I had just bought my house and had no furniture in it yet and the first thing I needed to do were my floors). I plan on using him again in the future. read more

Phil just completed a major repair and total refinishing of a 90 year old salvaged Douglas Fir floor in our house. A portion of it had been of necessity torn up during recent foundation repair work. I had really loved the old wood, and hoped to restore it for years. Well, Phil was absolutely the best. First of all, he appreciated the challenges of this particular wood and worked with great craftsmanship and understanding of the needs of a sensitive restoration. He brought years of experience, knowledge, good taste and advice to this tricky project. Wow. What a beautiful result, exceeding all my hopes. The results are bringing us enormous joy, an old space looks warm and elegant, and the old wood is proud, glowing, and alive again. What a wonderful experience -- Phil is, as others have mentioned, a terrific manager of time, came in on schedule, never cut corners. Left the spaces in good order every day, and is a very clear and easy communicator. He's extremely patient, affable, knows what he is doing, but gives the client plenty of space and non-pushy support to get their own goals and ideas clarified! We needed sub-contractors for related repairs, and Phil's network for other help proved skilled and terrific as well. After some fairly terrifying other interviews with other companies, we are so fortunate to have found Phil, the floor guy extraordinaire! If I could give 20 stars I would. We are so very happy to have had such fine work done after so many years of only imagining the difference it could make! Highly recommend Phil for any flooring needs!

I used Phil for my duplex in Mill Valley and he was able to restore the orginal floors from 1949. The work was professional and clean. Phil also fixed my front door that was sticking and was difficult to close. I would recommend Phil for anyones hardwood to restore it back to life. read more

Phil and his team were great to work with. The quality of their work is great, they were super clean & easy to have in my home throughout the process. Phil was good to talk with about color & options, and made me feel like he was trying to get me the floor I really wanted. He also knows so much about floors that he was able to see where we might have issues, and paid special attention to those areas. Ultimately, he was able to fix everything within the original budget. Really solid, trustworthy guys with a ton of experience. My hardwood floors are refinished & make the entire room look amazing. I would def reco Phil & his team. read more

We recently bought a new house. The floors were in pretty good condition but there were a couple spots that needed some repairs. We called Phil to help. He was incredibly responsive, provided several options for us to choose from, and got us on the schedule within just a couple days. Phil did an amazing job. I'm meticulous about these sorts of things and was blown away. Our floors look brand new. You can tell Phil cares deeply about the quality of his work. I know exactly who I'll call the next time I need anything done to my floors and I've already recommended Phil to several friends who recently moved as well as our real estate agent. read more

Phil the Floor Guy - Flooring Near Me

A relatively small job, our maple kitchen floor had nicks and scratches, which I'd tried - inexpertly- to repair over many years. Phil came to estimate the job, and he didn't believe that we needed a complete refinishing of the floor and recommended abrasion and a water seal. He said that the job would take a day and would only need a day to cure! Phil did the work himself, and I was thrilled with the results - a uniform coating on the floor and the finish was beautiful. Of course, some scratches remained, but they were hardly visible and I was thrilled. Phil even gave me a good discount, because the job took less time than he'd originally estimated. An honest man and great value, given the excellent job done. Wow...Phil's our floor guy from here on. Brenda B. read more

Phil is a great guy, and fast at floor installs. Due to his speed his quality of craftsmanship is very poor. He will install flooring that he makes mistakes on cuts just to get the job finished. I had him do an expensive wide plank floor install and wake up every morning to look at crappy installed planks. Burns me up daily. I wish I had hired someone else. I will need to tear out all of the poorly installed pieces and reinstall them. To get to them I will need to pull out large sections of the floor. Totally bummer and loss on the expensive flooring I purchased. When i asked him to fix the mistakes he just wanted to get paid and move on to the next job. read more

Outstanding service and execution of the work. The hardwood floors look great. Phil is easy to work with and communicates well. He goes out of his way to take care of the job at hand. read more

Phil the Floor Guy is the creme de la creme in his business. I am writing this review based on my consultation and estimate. I went on Yelp for floor installers, and Phil was listed as number one based on his excellent reviews. I could see why after viewing his work on his website. His portfolio speaks for itself. Beautiful! I called him, and he said he could come over in a few hours for an estimate since he would be in the area. I have never had anyone come so quickly after my initial call. Phil was very knowledgeable about floor installation. He brought up many ideas and points I had not thought of. I received his detailed estimate via email promptly. My project got postponed, so I did not get any other estimates and cannot say if his price was high or low, but it seemed fair. It does not get any better than Phil the Floor Guy. He is professional, reliable, easy to communicate with, thinks outside the box, does gorgeous work, and has years of experience. On top of all that, he is a nice and pleasant person. Highly recommend getting an estimate with Phil the Floor Guy. read more

Phil did a wonderful job preparing our hard wood floor! I highly recomend him. Thank you for your help.

Really great and fast work! Phil installed my floors for my bedroom and closet in one day! I tore out my nasty carpets the previous day which was optional. He recommended if I do that it'll save me some money, so I put on a dust mask and got my hands dirty. I gotta tell ya the new hardwood floors are soooo freakin better than the stained ugly carpet I can't believe I waited so long to do it! So I recommend if you are thinking about getting some new floors put installed or refinished don't hesitate to call Phil The Floorguy and git 'er done ASAP!!! Top quality and a professional! Thank you Phil!!! read more

Great to work with. Not only has a high attention to detail but also a great problem solver. We have an old house with lots of uneven floors. Phill helped us build up and level out multiple areas of the floor. He also did a fantastic job or installing over both existing hardwood and (very uneven) cement. And very happy with the finishing work he did in correcting errors our building contractors had made with squeaky stairs and unevenly laid boards. read more

This is my second time having Phil work on our floors and I will definitely work with him again. He arrived on time, installed cedar flooring in our closets, and left the work area clean. Quick and the finished product looks great! read more

We love our hardwood floor, thanks to Phil! His work ethic is beyond professional, he is extremely responsive and is a rare gem to find these days. He is meticulous in his attention to detail. I couldn't have found a better vendor to trust my home with, he is definitely our hardwood floor guy. read more

Disclosure - I have known Phil for upwards of 15 years, since before he started his floor finishing business. I have had Phil refinish all of the floors in a previous home, and upon purchasing a new home that needed a lot of hardwood flooring help he was the first person that came to mind. Our job consisted of a mix of refinishing existing mixed 2" strip oak and installing new 2" strip oak and replacing 2 stairways of treads with solid oak. Phil arrived to quote as promised and did his walk thru to get measurements. He quickly produced a reasonable quote which I accepted thru an application. Super professional and easy! We agreed on a start date, and he arrived as promised to drop the wood off to acclimate, and got started a few days later. We found after he got going that the existing treads were not salvageable and we agreed on an amendment to the quote to get them replaced with oak. The treads were covered with carpet when he started so we had no idea until this came up. He was super clear about this up front so it wasn't a surprise. The work went on as planned and he finished up before our move in date! I would highly recommend Phil for both refinishing and new wood flooring installation. He is definitely a pro. read more

Phil and his crew did an excellent job on my hardwood floors. I had just recovered from a major flood in my home. He took the time to replace boards that were bad while maintaining the integrity of my 1925 Sausalito Bungalow. We had no issues with him doing the job using his own discretion. Phil was precise, quick, and accurate. He offers many years of experience. I highly recommend Phil the Floor Guy! Hey at least get a quote. They're free and they come with a lot of experience. Also, remember to have Phil do your floors is more meaningful than a corporation. It's a statement about supporting community, local business, and hard work. Awesome job !! Very pleased ~ Smiling in Sausalito CA read more

Phil is the man! He not only did an amazing job on our floors, he was professional, reliable and fair in price. We used him to buff our floors and top coat them for our tenants, but when we refinish next year, we will for sure use Phil. Highly recommend! Check out the pictures! read more

Our general contractor brought Phil in to redo our hardwood floors and we are so glad he did! Phil got it all done in good time, at a reasonable price and our floors are STUNNING. Thank you Phil - if and when we change other areas of our home from carpet to hardwood we will definitely call you. We highly recommend Phil the Floor Guy. Truly an artist and a nice guy as well. read more

I was having reliability problems with the contractor that was supposed to do my floor. I met Phil at the gas station randomly and asked him if he could come by and give me a quote. He came by a couple days later and knocked it out and it's super clean. The room is oddly shaped and had a lot of custom cuts and it all came out perfect. Phil the Floor Guy is the TRUTH! read more

Nice man but did not like when he got into talking Politics that is not what my estimate was about. Only doing the lack of stars for that and please keep it on a different forum not on my time but thank you. read more

This is my fourth remodel and I have never worked with a tradesperson who communicates as well as Phil does. He always responds to my e-mails and texts in a timely manner. He was so helpful in helping us figure out how we could do the floor most affordably. He gave us a line item quote and let us know that if we did a few of the line items ourselves (like removal of the old floors) what we could save. The floors like really amazing. We needed things done quickly and every single day I walk on them I am so grateful he took the job. Sometimes speed is substituted for quality but not in this case. He was a recommendation by a friend whose family is in the business and she was right. You cannot go wrong with Phil the Floor Guy. read more

SO SO happy we found Phil and used him to install our beautiful performance floors. He took the time and did everything with exceptional detail. So much better than the previous experience with the Home Depot installers. Could not recommend him more! read more

I interviewed and got quotes for four different hardwood floor guys. Phil was the best communicator and was knowledgeable. He was not the cheapest but he was the best. I would say that he was the best value. He was hands-on, meticulous to detail and was able to adjust his work to some complications around sound proofing. Many people say that the best judge of the work is if you are still on speaking terms with the vendor at the end of the job. We surely are. The completed project was great! Phil communicated very well, was transparent with the job challenges so there were no surprises. I would highly recommend Phil! read more

Very good job long time ego at my Victorian in SF! Thank you Phil!

I was looking to clean up my kitchen floor (after some considerable wear and tear) and reached out to a number of hardwood floor specialists. Phil responded immediately, came out to see the floor, completed a test on the floor, and gave me a great quote immediately. For the other 5 suppliers that I reached out to, only one responded and his quote was 4x Phil's quote without even seeing the floor. As a result, Phil will always be the first person I call for my floors (Including doing my stairs in the fall). read more

Phil V. put it down fabulously for our SF family home a few years ago! Three kids, two dogs & yet one AMAZING reclaimed wood beam kitchen floor still stands sturdy as a resilient, attractive & sustainably sourced testament to Floor Guy Phil's floor skills. The kitchen floor has been by far the most complimented feature of our home by countless visitors & while we would not go as far as to eat off it, it works perfectly well underfoot for all who dare pay the kitchen a visit. Phil came highly recommended as being a reliable man for the job & we agree wholeheartedly. The experience was smooth, cost reasonable & Phil a proven, honest & clear communicator (including intimating uncertainty over elements of an unconventional material choice & explaining how to achieve the sought after effect economically). He provided a great floor, durably installed & on time (it required just a couple days to install once reclaimed beams were procured) with all efforts made to keep kitchen operations/functionality minimally interrupted. If you're ready to put paws to pleasant, let Phil floor yours too:) read more

The douglas fir floors in our home were a little too orange for our liking and had some serious damage/scuffs. Phil came over within a day of contacting him, advised us on a plan based on what we wanted, and executed with his team within one week. This was the best experience we've ever had with work being done on our home. Not only was he efficient and so friendly, but the floors are beautiful!! I literally feel happy whenever I see them. He knocked it out of the park and the price was extremely fair and worth every penny. Would highly recommend Phildafloorguy! read more

Phil did a great job with our floors. He refinished some of the old existing hardwood, installed new solid maple floors, and installed engineered maple floors. He did a great job with all three. The house was left very clean and tidy when he was done. We had a very tight schedule, and Phil did the work under the time that he estimated. Phil hung in there with complicated planning and decision making, and was very easy to communicate with. It's also a pleasure to deal directly with the person installing the floors instead of a sales crew and install crew. I would highly recommend Phil. read more

A couple of years ago, I referred my parents to Phil the Floor Guy for refinishing and expanding their hardwood floors when they were preparing to sell their home in Ross (Marin County, CA). Phil did an incredible job for them. The house had lots of hard wood flooring that had seen many many years of abuse. 5 kids, cats, dogs, skateboards, roller skates, indoor pogo sticking - tons and tons of abuse over the years. Phil made their floors look absolutely fantastic! Selling the home that she had lived and raised 5 kids in for 35 years was really tough on my Mom. The scope of repairs and upgrades they needed to complete before putting it on the market put a lot of stress on her. My parents absolutely loved having Phil on the job. He's professional, friendly, and above all a highly skilled and dependable craftsman. Their home sold for many hundreds of thousands above what their Realtor had recommended. I give a lot of credit for that to how great Phil made the floors look. The place's curb appeal increased many times over when he was done with his work. It looked fantastic. The Belway Family gives Phil the Floor Guy our highest recommendation. read more
