We had Walker Hardwood Floors install new white oak hardwood throughout our home, and the results are absolutely beautiful. The owner, who handles the work himself, is meticulous and clearly takes pride in his craft. Every detail--from the board alignment to the finishing--was done with care and precision. It's rare to find someone who combines skill, reliability, and professionalism like he does. We couldn't be happier with our new floors and highly recommend Walker Hardwood Floors to anyone looking for top-quality workmanship. read more

This more like a 3.5 but we are not given that option. The floors themselves turned out beautifully overall, and the staining/refinishing work dramatically improved the appearance of our home. Overall cost was $11,400 for approximately 1500 sq ft. That said, there were few issues with the overall experience. There are multiple rough spots remaining underneath cabinet edges that feel sandpaper-like to the touch, approximately 1-2 inch in size. In addition, ALL of the baseboards throughout the project have 1-2 millimeters shaved off the bottom edge from the sanding process. We admittedly did not ask detailed questions beforehand about how the baseboards would be protected or whether they would be removed during sanding, and simply assumed they would not be affected. Another concern was that the project finished two days ahead of schedule, yet there was no adjustment in cost despite us paying for hotel accommodations based on the original timeline provided. Most concerning, however, has been the repeated inability to obtain a receipt or invoice for payment despite multiple requests. Because payment was made in cash, receiving proper documentation becomes even more important. Regardless of the quality of the flooring work itself, providing customers with receipts and clear records of payment should be standard professional practice, particularly when payment is made in cash. Repeatedly declining to provide documentation after multiple requests begins to feel less professional and more questionable over time. My recommendation to future customers would be to ask very detailed questions before agreeing to the bid. Here are a few: 1) How will the baseboards be affected? Will they be removed? If not, what might be the effect? 2) Can I get an itemized written breakdown of labor and material costs, projected work hours and timeline expectations. (For example, during the original walkthrough, we were told that a sink and toilet in a side bathroom would need to be removed for the work to be completed. That ultimately did not happen, which left us wondering whether that labor was still included in the original quoted price). 3) MOST IMPORTANT: Will I be provided a receipts/invoices upon payment. NOTE: This vendor only takes cash. Overall, the floors look very good, but the communication, finishing details, and lack of payment documentation significantly impacted our experience. read more

We had hardwood floors from the 90s with that dated golden oak finish, and it was definitely time for an update. I got about three different bids, and even though Joe's wasn't the cheapest, we chose him because from the very first conversation, it was clear he knew what he was doing. Total pro. He walked me through the entire process, explained the costs, and talked about the high-quality materials he uses. It gave me a lot of confidence that we were in good hands--and we totally were. Our floors turned out even better than I imagined! Joe finished the job exactly when he said he would, there was barely any dust, and now everyone who walks into our house compliments the floors. I honestly couldn't be happier. Joe is a true professional, super easy to work with, and his work is worth every penny. Highly recommend! read more

I had my wood floors done by Walkers wood flooring. I'm so lucky to have found him. My floors were turning yellow . He changed them to a flat finish and they look Wonderful... Thank You read more

Joe was a recommendation from my relator. He was quick to respond to my initial call, came out for a free quote on our floors, was honest, down to earth, and the best man for the job! Joe works alone and that kept the cost low. For refinishing the original wood floors in our 3 bedroom home, the total came to about $5000 for 5 days of work. The quality of floors Joe gave us was well worth the cost. His transparency and professionalism made Joe such a delight to work with. He walked us through every step of the process , gave us honest recommendations, and kept us updated with photos of the floors while we were out of town. It's hard to find an honest professional these days, but Joe is one of a kind. Will definitely be recommending him to anyone with hardwood floor needs. read more

Super impressive work. Installed new oak flooring in our house. Couldn't be more pleased.

Joe came to me as a referral from my realtor. He is professional, on time, honest and his workmanship is stellar! His knowledge and recommendation to do a matte finish on my floor, although I was unsure at first, was the best decision to fit my needs. I would 100% recommend Walker's Wood Flooring to anyone! Thanks Joe!!!! read more

Joe was on-time and very professional when he provided the estimate to refinish the hardwood floor at our house. He did a wonderful job refinishing our floor and is very reliable. He is easy to communicate with and detail oriented, we would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs their floors installed or refinished. read more

Joe Walker recently refinished the 52 year old hardwood floors in our Mid-Century Modern home in Rocklin. I interview several companies, all of whom seem good, but Joe was a standout. He returned my phone call right away stating that he was working on a home in Pebble Beach and would be happy to assess the job and give me a bid when he returned to town at the end of the month. In our conversation, it was clear that he has an affinity for the history of the places he redoes. I decided he was worth the wait. When he came to do the bid, I asked to see pictures of the job in Pebble Beach. I was Floored! (Pun intended) It was nothing short of gorgeous with the different colors of inlaid wood. If he could produce that masterpiece on a 60K job in Pebble Beach, he was the man to refinish the floors in the home we love. His bid was right in line with what we expected and were thrilled to get his level of expertise and care for the price. His bid for replacing a few water damaged boards was hundreds less than others. He even later found and replace two boards with previous termite damage around the fireplace, free of charge. I also like that he would be the only one working on our floors. I'm picky about how things are done. With our renovation, I wanted the floors sanded and finished but with the final coat of stain & finished done after the interior of the house was painted. Joe was the only contractor who had no problem with doing this and even recommended it. When the painting was completed, he scheduled the finish within a week. When you are considering new installation or refinishing hardwood floors, definitely get your other bids; but don't miss out on the opportunity to have this master of the art, Joe Walker, turn your home into one of his masterpieces! P.S. ask to see his Pebble Beach work! Amazing! read more

When I reached out via Yelp Joe responded quickly. He was very professional throughout the process and got the job done without any delays or surprises. Joe and his company are a great choice if you value good service, responsiveness and integrity. His cost was not the lowest quote we received but in retrospect paying a bit extra was worth it for us. read more

Hopefully the lateness of this review doesn't give cause to think that the quality and service of Walker's Wood Flooring was anything less than incredible. Joe was able to install the floors in my whole house and finish the entire project in two and a half days. He is patient, professional, knowledgeable, and just a damn nice guy. If I could give anything more than 5 stars, I would. In the process of our remodel, we have encountered several companies: cabinets, tile, painters, countertops, etc. Joe is the only one I would work with again. I am beyond happy, and my house-- at least the floor-- is gorgeous. What you get with Joe is a great price, fast and courteous service, and a personal touch that is sorely lacking from the big box stores and chain retailers. Great job, Joe. Sorry this was so late :) read more

I highly recommend going with Walker's Wood Flooring for any flooring project. Joe came to our house to look at our 23 year old engineered hardwood floor. Our floor had a lot of scratches and we wanted to see what could be done. Joe is very personable and friendly. It was very apparent that Joe is very knowledgable about flooring. Joe took time to explain all of our options. Joe buffed our floor and applied one coat of finish. Our floor looks great! We will definitely call Joe in the future whenever we have another flooring project. read more

We've had a number of companies over the years provide flooring services, but none can compare to Walker's Wood Flooring. They are the absolute BEST!! Last year they did all of our tile work and it was beautiful - that was a huge kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. We got to go down and pick out what ever tile we wanted and had no limitations. Joe Walker was wonderful about advising us on tile size and color to go with all of our cabinetry. This year Joe came back and installed wood flooring in our formal dining room & living room. He gave us lot of choices and we went with hickory. He did an outstanding job for a great price. If you need great workmanship from a trusted company - Walker's Wood Flooring is where you need to go. read more

Joe installed our hardwood floors this past August. We had tore down a wall between kitchen and dining room so he had to lace flooring from dining and lay all new hardwood into the kitchen. The job Joe did combining the new floors with the old is totally AMAZING! It is December now and they look just as good as the day Joe finished them. Joe is extremely courtesy, always on time, a professional, and a perfectionist (which I love). We recommend Joe and will use him in the future for more of our projects. Enjoyed working with him. read more

Joe is very professional and friendly. He returns calls, shows up on time, and gets the job done on time - exactly as expected. We had 60 year old wood bump up against brand new wood and no one can tell where the old ends and the new begins. We also appreciated that Joe is the only person we had to deal with. He takes care of everything from supplying the wood to installing and finishing. In a couple of years we plan to call him back to refinish the bedroom floors. read more

Joe of Walker Wood Flooring is a professional customer service oriented business man. He installed over 1,000 sf of pre-finished solid oak hardwood in my home. The floors look flawless and the finishing baseboards help make the entire floor look even better. Joe either called or text me throughout the process when he had questions to make sure every detail was to my liking. I really appreciated the personal care that Joe took when working with me. I would never hire anyone but Joe to do either an installation or re-finishing project. Walker Wood Flooring was first recommended to me years ago after my parents had hired him to re-finish floors in several rentals including a 100+ year old home. Joe has the knowledge to work with old and new floors. I am 100% satisfied with Walker's Wood Flooring!! read more

Terrific and very knowledgeable floor specialist. He explained the whole process of how he would refinish our floor. He did a minor repair, i.e. pee stain from a pet or pets; he replaced a portion of the floor and it looks undistinguishable and blended with the rest of the floor. His bid was not the cheapest, but it is all worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for.". Highly recommended. We will definitely, with no doubt, do business with him again. read more

Walkers Wood Flooring is Awesome!! We just had our living room floor replaced with hardwoods. We are so amazed how beautiful the floors are. The house looks brand new. We are having Joe Walker back to do the hallway and bedrooms next. Joe Walker, the owner, is very knowledgeable, professional, kind, and a neat person. He came to the house for an estimate and measured. He brought a sample later from what i had expressed our interests were. He explained the whole procedure, cost, the difference between woods, etc. He does the job completely!! We have a cement base which required extra care in how the hardwoods were installed. Joe Walker is the one you want if you are installing hardwoods. I still sit and stare at how amazing our living room looks. Joe really enjoys what he does, this is his business and he puts his all into it. He listens to the customer and also has great suggestions if you are stumped. We can't wait to have the next set of rooms completed. If you want new hardwoods, Joe Walker, Walkers Wood Flooring is who you want to hire. G Hunt Sacramento, CA read more

Walker's Wood Flooring installed new hardwood(about 400 square feet) and refinished the original hardwood(about 1000 square feet) in my 1950's house. The finished product is outstanding!!
