Homero Hardwood Floors

Homero is a pro. He turned old nasty Oak floors into gorgeousness! I referred him to my brother, who was pleased as well. And, Homero is coming back to do some specialty work. He is a pleasant person and his employees are tops.

Homero has done both of homes and my brother’s house twice in the last decade. Homero’s attention to detail, professionalism and workmanship is the best I have seen. Additionally, Homero’s finish work involves lightly hand sanding the ENTIRE floor before they put on the final coat, This removes all swirl marks and leaves a perfect finish. This is done for to all natural wood floors at NO additional cost. I was shocked when I saw his team hand sanding my entire house! Homero also installed my baseboards and they are equally impressive. I strongly recommend Homero’s Hardwood. His workmanship, professionalism and pricing are the best in the business.

Had we read some of these reviews before we hired him we never would have. He had good reviews on Angie’s list but we found that although the floors themselves look nice the trim work was sloppy and they pulled off paint with their tape they used for dust protection. And didn’t even tell us. We are still finding that in places a month later. Bottom line– our painter was in for two full days afterwards doing repairs. Their hand sanding of banisters was sloppy and rough and we see places where baseboards were clearly not redone. If you use them hold a good amount back on final payment till you have done a careful walk through.

Homero is a true master. I wanted a very unique custom color— that would have been terrible if it were even one shade away from what I had in my mind. I explained it to Homero, using images as reference. He created a 2′ x 2′ sample that was exactly what I wanted. Then, him and his crew both installed new hard wood flooring, as well as re-​finished some pre-​existing flooring. The result was fabulous– you cannot tell the difference between the brand new wood and the wood that is 20 years old. I highly recommend him!

I am a general contractor in the San Gabriel Vally. I have used Homero Hardwood Floors exclusively for my high end remodels in Pasadena and San Marinio for the past 10 years. Why? Because Homero and his talented crew of as Homero calls them «engineers» really care about their work.
Homero’s pricing is about average in the industry but his product is in the 90^th percentile. He does not use lesser grades of materials like some hardwood flooring contractors do to cut costs. He has excellent customer service and he warranties work. If something is done wrong he will fix it with in reason. His guys are excellent at minimizing the disturbance on the homeowner by controlling dust and protecting existing floors and the clients furniture.
I like him because he has a long track record and will be doing the same thing for many years to come so you can count on him to be there for you. He cares about the client and protects them by carrying the right liability and workers compensation insurance.
He will educate the client to the various options of materials available and tell you what he feels will work the best for each job.
Being a general contractor I can count on him to keep my clients happy and make me look good.
He just did the floors in my house. The floors are 103 year old long plank quartersawn and maple long plank floors that where gorgeous. I called him because I trusted him to refinish these rare wood floors that are no longer available. When I sit in my living room at the end of the day I look at Homero’s work I think to my self I am so glad to have him as a trusted flooring contractor.
He is the 4^th hardwood flooring sub contractor I have used in my carrier and have used him consistently for 10 years. That should tell you something.

It concerns me that there are not more reviews. If one person had a bad experience, does that necessarily ‘flag’ the business as ‘poor’? I’m looking for a small refinishing job, anyone have any suggestions?
Homero’s owner took the time and effort to come look at my job. I was a little surprised that someone that does floor refinishing for a living, on a daily basis, said he would email me a quote. NEVER got the quote. He NEVER responded to my EMAIL or Phone call. That says to me they are not good business people, and runs up a ‘red flag’ that they do not qo quality work.

I picked Homero Hardwood Floors based off Angie’s reviews and ability to start right away. Cost was good, just slightly lower than other bids. To my inexpert eye, they did a good job sanding and refinishing.
Cons: They don’t fix creaky floors and never hire them for their trim work — chipped edges at the corners, 1/​8″+ gaps between trim and wall and misaligned base and shoe. I would blame this on curvy walls — but there are three foot sections where the entire trim is off by minimum of 1/​8″. They used adhesive instead of nails for replacement wood trim. Previous baseboard was nailed in. They also don’t reinstall the interior doors when they’re done. I’m painting my baseboard trim, so a professional painter can caulk up most of the errors — but a professional trim carpenter would never have left those mistakes in the first place.
I felt comfortable leaving them alone in my house. On one occasion they mistakenly left the front door unlocked and ajar — but all other times they were good at locking up.

We were very disappointed by floors installed in our nursery and master bedroom by this company in September of 2010. A red flag was raised when the owner of the company, Homero, and his assistant, Natasha, failed to respond promptly to our attempted contact with them once the job was scheduled. We overlooked this fact, however, because the owner appeared attentive and above-​board when he provided our consultation.
Unfortunately, it has been only 13 months since installation, and the cherry wood floors installed have multiple scratches and areas of bleaching that other companies have confirmed are not consistent with typical wear and tear. Recently, for example, a large cardboard box was pushed between our living room and nursery; the living room floor is unscathed, while the nursery floor suffered a large and deep scratch. There have been multiple instances over the last several months during which minimal activity caused large and visible damage to these floors. The bleaching is severe and occurred in areas where furniture was placed and has since been moved.
We contacted the owner of the company and provided him with pictures of the scratches and bleached areas. He stated that we need to be more careful and that any hardwood would scratch as these floors have. When we pointed out that our living room floors did not scratch from identical activity, he repeated that we need to be more careful. He also stated that all floors bleach; again, our living room floors have no discolored areas due to furniture placement.
Consulting with other companies has revealed that the likely culprit is cheap finish applied to the cherry wood floors. The floors were supplied by the Galleher Corporation to Homero Hardwood; the owner of Homero Hardwood states that he has used this company for years and will continue to do so.
We intend to «be more careful» and to have our floors refinished with another company prior to moving from our home in a few years.
Based on the apparent low quality product and the company owner’s unhelpful response to our complaints, I would not recommend Homero Hardwood to future customers.
