    A friend referred me to Duane, I'd been wanting to replace my upstairs flooring for a long time. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. He kept great communication throughout the whole process and was just so helpful along the way. His workers are wonderful, so hard working. We tried to move as much as we could but they helped with the heavy stuff. They even covered everything with plastic to prevent things from getting dusty. They worked 3 long days, it was surprisingly quick. I'm so happy with my floors. We'll hopefully be able to do our downstairs sometime in the near future and I'll be calling Duane for sure.

    We were tired of carpet in our primary bedroom since the rest of the house was hardwood. Fortunately the builder of our home left an extra box of unused hardwood in the garage. So we looked up the manufacturers website and found that Rancho Viejo Flooring was one of their dealers. So we called Rancho Viejo Flooring and talked with Duane on the phone. Duane was very responsive to our inquiry, found out the floor and color we had was still available. Based on our room size he gave us a preliminary estimate of the cost for materials and installation. We had one other quote from a store much further away but his was competitive and we liked doing business with a local small business. We made an appointment with Duane to come out and measure the room to get an exact price. He came out the next day, was very responsive and sent us a text message once he was on his way. We agreed to have them install the floor and he ordered the flooring. He said that once the flooring was in he's showroom, we could schedule the installation. About one week later, we got a call that the flooring had come in. He told us that he had a cancellation and if we were available, the floor could be installed in two days later. We explained that we were heading out of town the day after the scheduled installation, but he assured us that his team would finish the installation in one day. He arranged for the materials to be dropped off a day ahead of time, and he called and texted us throughout the whole process. His team showed up at our home promptly on the morning of the install. The moved all of our furniture out of the room and began working. Since our existing wood floors were 6 years old the color had darkened a bit from the new material. Also since the there was a color variance they suggested that they could either change the direction that the boards were running, or the could pull up a couple of boards where the old hardwood ended and lace in a combination of the old flooring that was saved in the garage with the new flooring to make a better color transition between the old and the new. His crew worked throughout the day removing the carpet, prepping the floor, and installing the new wood floor. They finished the job on time and on budget and moved the furniture back into the room so we could travel the next day. They took away all the old carpet, padding and all the debris and boxes from the installation. They put down tarps and red rosin paper to protect the existing floors in their walkway to the bedroom. Overall we couldn't be happier with the whole process and the final result. We highly recommend Mission Viejo Flooring.

    We decided it was time for a new couch and love seat in our TV room, but first we had to replace the flooring. Who wants to put in pretty new things on old, worn-out marble flooring? But we didn't know WHO to call(?) Our very good friends just had luxury vinyl flooring installed in their home here in San Clemente, and they recommended Duane from Rancho Viejo Flooring. I looked them up and went down to the shop, but I didn't know that I needed to make an appointment ahead of time! (No one was there.) So I had to try again, and I spoke with a nice gentleman on the phone named Duane and we set it up to meet and see his flooring at his shop in Ladera Ranch. My husband and I saw the choices, and we settled on a very light colored wide plank luxury vinyl floor for the downstairs - and a beautiful gray/beige carpet for the upstairs. We had our stairwell restained and replaced all the spindles from a company known as San Clemente Woodworking. (Another review that I need to write!) Once the stairwell was completed, Duane's crew showed up to install the downstairs flooring first. Duane advised us to get everything up and off the floors, empty drawers and get stuff ready for his hard-working team. We were prepared and Elmer and 3 other men came to do the job. Originally, I have to tell you that we had carpet on one side of the downstairs, and dingy marble on the other side of the downstairs. The carpet had to be removed and the men had to float a new floor since the height was a bit lower than the marble side. They carried out the procedures to assure a level floor - and let me tell you. These men worked very hard, non-stop, until the job was completed! They also installed a beautiful 6 inch high baseboard, which wasn't in the original plan, but due to some mix-up, we installed the 6 inch baseboard and we LOVE it more than our original choice! Gio and Crystal and another man came to caulk and paint the baseboards in two days! They did a professional job all the way around! We had the carpet show up the following day with Luis and his team. Luis has a lot of experience with installations, and before it was taken off his work truck, he asked us to inspect the carpet. It was the wrong one! Duane answered his phone when we called him to report the trouble. He was very professional and wanted to be sure that we got exactly what we wanted, since everything is so expensive these days! It was only a few days of delays and the right carpet arrived the following Wednesday. Luis came and his team of 3 got all the furniture moved outside on our back deck, and they worked so hard to complete the entire upstairs in one day! These men worked very hard and non-stop until the job was done and all the heavy furniture was put back to where it belonged. Our flooring is so beautiful, it's beyond what my husband and I envisioned!!! There was one small problem with a nicked floor upstairs, and Luis came in a day to repair the situation. Our home looks like a brand new house, and I can honestly say to all of you who read this long and strong review that YOU NEED TO CALL DUANE at Rancho Viejo Flooring and make an appointment immediately if you're in need of refreshing the look of your home, and getting a very good deal! Call Duane right away, friends!! You'll be walking on cloud 9 if you do! (949) 355-4444

    I needed to replace the carpet in my house. Shopped around a lot of places and went with Rancho Viejo Flooring. Duane, the owner, came out on time and took measurements, made recommendations and gave me a fair quote. Angel, his installer came on time, and finish the job super quick and perfectly. RV flooring is my go to for future flooring needs.

    Beautiful new stairway.

    I couldn't be happier with the installation of my new flooring. From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Duane, and Elmer and his crew. All were respectful, knowledgeable, professional, and took great pride in their work. Thank you to all for making it a great experience.

    After day one of install , down stairs was finished and demo upstairs. They finished the rest of the house + baseboards the following day.

    My husband and I are so grateful that we were referred to Duane ! After getting screwed over by another installer a week before move in , i reached out to Duane and his team came to the rescue! He responded right away and was extremely accommodating to our wants and needs and made time to get the job done in between his crazy busy schedule. His team was in and out in two days. our flooring + new baseboards & carpet look amazing !! He is very fair priced and we are very very happy customers! We will be referring him to all our friends and family. Thanks so much , Duane !

    I could be happier with the work Duane's team did on my stairs! He quickly responded to my request for an estimate and beat the other prices I was receiving by quite a bit! He was able to schedule the installation for the following weekend which was great! His team arrived on time in the morning and removed the carpet from the stairs, did all the prep work and installed new stair treads and risers. They put up plastic tarps to contain the dust but also cleaned up after the install. I love my new stairs!

    Not matching materials of bullnose and stairs!!

From the moment we…read morewalked through their door, Brandon assisted us with a level of care that made both my husband and I feel like we were a family member. We added on a 200 sq foot master closet room and originally went to G & A to look at carpeting for the new closet. Not only did Brandon spend a lot of time with us on the carpet (which was a small job), he inquired if there was anything else they could assist with. We quickly learned that G & A does not just specialize in flooring, they provide a wide variety of services. In addition to carpeting, we needed painting, stone for countertops and expanded our project to replacing the tile in our laundry room (a long want on my wish list). I got 5 bids for painting and when combining all the above services, Brandon came in with the most competitive pricing. We went with G & A and are so happy that we did. I never felt like he was trying to upsell us and we felt their prices were very fair. In fact, Brandon offered us options with the stone that were more economical than other brands. Brandon was with us every step of the way! When the tile I picked out for the laundry room was discontinued, he found one very similar which I ended up liking better anyways. When they started the laundry room project, while removing the old baseboards, there was an issue with some of the drywall. Brandon quickly stepped in and had one of his guys perform drywall repair right away so as to not stall the project. They removed and reinstalled the washer/dryer as well. They also updated the 20 year old baseboards to match the rest of the house. All of G & A's laborers that worked in our home were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Brandon kept us advised every step of the way. I STRONGLY recommend G & A for any home improvement needs you may have and don't forget, they do way more than flooring! I am attaching some photos of the closet where they laid carpeting and installed quartz, the tile & painting in the laundry room and the painting of the living room/foyer where the new closet was built above.

Randomly, I asked my wife to lets just walk into Flooring kitchen and bath to see, what did we have to lose, at this point we weren't getting anywhere anyway so lets see if they can help us at all. Upon walking into the storefront, we were greeted by Bita who asked how she could help. We explained our tastes and what we were looking to do with new counters, backsplash and flooring. Within 15minutes we had selected a countertop motif, paired it with new tile backsplash and matched it with new solid surface floor options to consider. We appreciated the input from Bita on what to do and what not to do based on our desired color targets and how we needed it all to match with painting that would occur soon after. We agreed on this style, agreed on a time to meet at our house to measure for estimates and go from there. She did give us some verbal estimates which seemed inline, but the measuring would confirm it! As planned, Bita showed up and reviewed the scope of our effort, saw the space and made some additional recommendations as well. She set off and within a few days, we had a full proposal in our email inbox including some of the options we had discussed in-person. The pricing was good and the timing for the crews to work was as well. We got started on our project and other than a surprise plumbing issue that we couldn't have foreseen and some small issues removing old tile, all of the work and the updates were completed on time and on budget! I do recommend Bita and the team to others. Was everything perfect? Not really, construction in your home is tiring (especially while working at home during COVID) but the crews did the very best cleaning up everyday and minimized disruptions to our family and pets while they were there. Very happy with the flooring and the countertops, but I must say that the 2-man crew that did our tile work were artists! Not a single piece of our tile is misaligned or anything other than perfect. Amazing! Will find some photos to post of the finished product, wish I would have taken more photos of the 'before' because its a major difference!

    If a friend were considering MAC for a home project, I would strongly discourage them…read more We hired MAC to replace our downstairs floors after a positive showroom experience. Tanner showed us Bjelin flooring that was gorgeous, exactly what we wanted. It was a relatively new product, but he spoke confidently about its durability. When he came to measure, I specifically showed our 15-year-old kitchen tile, which had become badly dinged over time, and asked if the new flooring would eventually look the same. I emphasized that durability was #1 to us. He assured me this flooring was exceptionally durable and would not end up looking like that. We received another quote about $2k less, but chose MAC because we expected a smoother project with them if anything went wrong. Sadly, that was not our experience. The product we were sold is not right for our family, and there were also problems with installation, communication, workmanship, and care of our home. Before the project began, I asked about protecting our cabinets and window shutters from construction dust. I was told by email and by project manager Matt that I didn't need to do anything because the crew would handle it. They did not. Only the kitchen cabinets were covered. When we returned home, dust was everywhere inside built-ins and bathroom cabinets and all over the shutters. I spent significant time cleaning and had our housecleaners help at an additional cost. Matt said a lockbox would be used for our key. Instead, I found our key sitting outside next to a planter. He also said he would meet me on the first morning to walk through everything. I waited, but no one came or even contacted me. They also showed little care for our property. They left large chunks of wood and sawdust throughout our yard and poured leftover concrete along the side of our house, onto our stepping-stone walkway and around plants where our children play. And then there was the workmanship. When we returned home, we found: * Multiple noticeable scratches on our new flooring * A dishwasher that could not open because the toe kick was too tall * A big hole in the drywall from demo * A large gap in another section of toe kick * The kitchen toe kick painted the wrong color * Missing hearth trim because they had ordered the wrong length * Finishing trim that took multiple visits to complete * Drain stopper of our newly installed bathroom faucet was broken and hidden * Our couch feet reinstalled incorrectly with stripped screws, requiring us to pay the couch company to repair them It took 6 days after I reported the dishwasher issue before they came back to remove the toe kick, meaning I couldn't use my dishwasher for nearly a week. The plumber they sent also hooked the dryer up incorrectly, so it was venting humidity back into our house. We were charged literally $900 for this work. When I brought up the broken drain stopper with Matt, he said his crew hadn't done it, but would cover the replacement. We had to contact the manufacturer, learn the stopper couldn't be purchased separately, and replace it ourselves. The lack of accountability was a recurring theme. When Kristin walked through the problems, she acknowledged some poor workmanship, but there was no recognition of the inconvenience this project had caused. And the flooring itself has been the biggest disappointment. We don't wear shoes in our house, put area rugs throughout the downstairs, every piece of furniture has thick felt pads, and we are extremely careful not to drag anything across the floor. Yet I discover new scratches daily. My children cannot even play normally with ANY toys on the floor without scratching it. The installation was supposed to take one week. Instead, the crew returned at least six additional times for repairs, mistakes, unfinished work, and corrections. It was summer and each time they came back was a morning I couldn't take my kids out to do something fun. The last few visits were particularly telling. MAC sent a guy who was already leaving the company to repaint the kitchen toe kick. He determined it needed primer, but instead told me to prime and paint it myself. I followed his instructions, but paint and primer leaked under the tape because it wasn't properly sealed. I then spent HOURS cleaning paint off our brand-new floors--something I never should have been responsible for. We expected a high level of care and professionalism for an $18,000+ project. Instead, we felt our home, time, and concerns were repeatedly treated as inconveniences. We trusted MAC to recommend a product that would work for our family after I specifically raised durability as a concern. We now have an expensive floor that requires constant babying and continues to scratch despite our care.

I didn't mention it in my earlier review because I was assured that we would be a priority for a return visit to complete the three hour job. However, after two weeks I had not heard back so I reached out and I was informed that it was unlikely they would be able to return before the holidays to complete the job and I was scheduled for the earliest time available which is the end of January! Four months from now! And unfortunately the repair is in my kitchen which is why I want it completed before the holidays. I don't think it was too much to expect a return visit within a shorter period of time for an uncompleted job....especially one that I was told would only take 3 hours. And I also find it hard to believe that they are unable to carve out 3 hours in the next four months. So keep this in mind if you choose Handy Randy. This is not the only scheduling issue I've had with them. My original estimate was done in March 2026 with a schedule for the job of June 2026. When June came around, I called to confirm and it turned out the administrator had neglected to add our job to the calendar! So they had to reschedule my job to Sept 2026. Now they are saying Jan 2027 to complete the work! So bottom line....the work is good, but the administration of the scheduling leaves a lot to be desired.

We knew that we needed an expert to complete the job without the risk of damaging them. We had a difficult decision to make and for this project, we obtained 7 quotes. After looking into each of the companies through the CSLB website, we found out that only four of them had a valid contractors license. We felt very comfortable with George, the owner of Jace. He has vast knowledge of hardwood floors with years of experience, has a friendly demeanor, and is a fellow dog rescuer. One of the other reviews mentions a customer's satisfaction with Jace's refinishing of their 100 years old floors. Though his quote was not the lowest, we chose quality over price. And we are so happy we did. Carlos, the lead tech on our project is also very knowledgeable and approachable. He answered all of our questions, and explained everything they were doing throughout the various stages of the process. Carlos's assistant, Jair is friendly and a hard worker. After the work was completed, Mike came to inspect the work, and grout the transition from our Dining Room to our kitchen. I didn't even have to ask them to do this. George suggested it to replace the ugly molding that was previously there, and on which we would frequently stub our toes. Mike returned a second time to drop off a complementary Bona cleaning kit. From the initial Yelp request to the finish of our project, George and his team were stellar, exceeding our expectations. Our floors look amazing, as if they were newly installed! I would recommend them to everyone in need of hardwood floor installation/refinishing/repairs. It is their specialty and their business name says so. Check out their work on Instagram @jace_floors
