Fusion Flooring

A friend of mine highly recommended that I call Steve at Fusion Flooring to redo my stairs in my condo that were open and carpeted. He had done all the stairs and woodwork in her home and it was flawless. I had recently had a lot of other work done in my house, and at every turn there was poor workmanship, sloppiness and poor customer service. I was beginning to think that good work at a fair price was a thing of the past. My friend was right in everything she had said — I, too, found Steve to be helpful, listen to my concerns, offer suggestions, arrive when he said he would and finish the job in his estimated time frame. His
workmanship is exquisite and he takes pride in his work. I have a beautiful new staircase, rail, post as well as white oak flooring on my landing that is gorgeous. I would never dream of hiring anyone else to do future woodwork. He is trustworthy and professional, For the first time in a long time, I am thoroughly pleased with the work that was done in my home.

I found Steve on Home Advisor, and I am very pleased with all the work he did on my house. I just purchased a home in Long Beach, the floors were covered in carpet and vinyl, and the way the floors look now is phenomenal.
Steve was great to work with and very upfront with additional costs and little hiccups that came up along the way, he looked out for my best interest and cost considerations, and never compromised the quality of his work.
In detail, here are the items that were done on my home.
— Removed PVC tile and black mastic in 3 rooms
— Repaired damaged and missing boards & plugged holes that were previously
drilled through the floor
— Re-​aligned Entry threshold
— Custom milled baseboard shoe molding to cover excessive gap between
baseboard that was installed over carpet.
— Custom milled flush transitions to tile flooring & hearth.
— Custom glaze color to alter the color of original White Oak flooring, to remove the
natural red hues and lighten the over-​all color of the floor, as to not cover the
natural beauty of the wood, and offer a more modern appearance, and then
protect the wood with a zero VOC penetrating oil, that offers a soft
natural luster and feel.

I’ve worked with Steve Martin of Fusion Flooring for years. He’s a seasoned professional displaying attention to detail, solid craftsmanship with the ability to create unique customized stain and finish looks.
If you’re seeking a skilled flooring professional Steve Martin is someone who I’ve had great experiences with and recommend you give him a call.

First, I’d like to say I’m not a regular Unilocal user. In fact I’m used to finding quite opposite results when it comes to dining and retail reviews in the past. I’m an avid Amazon reviewer as we do all our business and household purchasing on the site. This time I am taking the time to create an account and share with my family and friends on what a great experience we had. Thankfully my gut was right on again and we chose Fusion.
Steve just finished our flooring late yesterday and I could not be anymore pleased with the results. Wife and I shopped around all the locals here in San Clemente and nearby areas as well as the bigger «chains» in the Saturday paper. Having been screwed a few times with other projects to the house over the years we were skeptical… Steve was basically AMAZING.
Not only was he up front on time it would take, pricing before and along the way, a detailed schedule of events and ETA’s but he was also super friendly. We have 4 small dogs that basically run our house, if they bark or don;t like you, basically your not allowed in. The dogs warmed up to Steve from day 1. Over the course of 3 weeks and throughout the install Steve and his team were very clean and never left a mess (my biggest pet peeve). On occasion when he was running behind I got a text, come lunch time based on where the job was and the inconvenience to me and the family he worked thru it.
Pictures and reviews are helpful. Meeting Steve and seeing his equipment, seeing his work and talking to other’s whom have first-​hand knowledge is best. I’d recommend Fusion to ALL whom ask me and gladly show off his handywork.
We WILL be using him in the future for more flooring upstairs!

We recently purchased a new home and when we saw the state of the wood floors after the owners moved out, we knew we had to have them refinished. I found Steve at Fusion Flooring and he met me the next day at the house. He went over all the options and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Not only did he work practically non-​stop, he kept me informed with phone calls, texts and emails. Steve has extensive knowledge and uses high grade materials. We used penetrating oil to finish our floors (no VOCs) and they look absolutely amazing. If you want a quality job that will be durable for years to come, Fusion Flooring is your best bet.

Hired Fusion Flooring and talked to Steven Martin, owner and craftsman. He was very helpful, has years of experience and was able to match the old floor panels which are no longer made, to similar ones. Both he and his worker were very efficient and the result was excellent. I am very satisfied.

I just read through all of these reviews and I am completely shocked that this guy has receieved even more than one star ever. If this is not the place run by Steve Martin, please disregard this review.
I live in a custom home, with wood floors throughout the entire home. A pipe broke underneath my house and we had to get the entire first level redone. We ordered wideplank carlisle flooring to be put into our house. Wood came in perfect condition, Steve Martin botched the installation, sanding, finish and transitions.
The wood was clearly not allowed to aclamate because there are quarter inch gaps in between each plank. When contacted about the problem by the NWFA Inspector, Joe Szenyeri he refused to come out, and redo all of his mistakes. We then contacted the wood supplier, (Carlisle Wide Plank Flooring) who have also tried to reach him and he has not been cooperative. Please reference Chris Sy, VP of Carlise Wide Plank Flooring.
After waiting 3 months of renting different homes in the area we arrived back to a house that was not completely destroyed, but definitely devalued due to the poor craftsmanship. The lack of attention to detail, and dishonesty that Steve Martin showed over the past few months is absoutlely appauling. We will be seeing him in court, and hopefully make it possible that he can NEVER do this to anyone again.

Fusion Flooring was a great find on Unilocal.I do kitchen remodel work and needed a flooring contractor that is as meticulous as I am about keeping the work clean and professional. What I liked best is Steve is on the job with his team and not just a paper contractor. He provides quality control and understood the importance of cleaning up and keeping the home spotless while doing the remodel work. The flooring came out perfect!!. I will be recommending him to all of my clients as the job was done so well.

We had Fusion Flooring put in the reclaimed barnwood flooring in the home that we built. It was to look like a 1920’s Spanish Revival home. Steve, the owner, did an incredible job. It was very important to him to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted and envisioned for the floor. We had purchased reclaimed wood from a barn and Steve created a beautiful color and finish for the wood. He was honest, hard working, and a true craftsmen. Everyone that comes to our home notices our floor and always asks about it. Our home has been featured in the San Diego Home and Gardens and has been in two La Jolla Home Tours.

Steve and his team did an amazing job installing and finishing our beautiful walnut floors and staircase. Everything was done with a great degree of care and attention to detail. Additionally, Steve came up with ideas and concepts we would have never thought of. On the floor, he carefully sorted the boards and worked to make sure that the right amount of character landed in the right areas while mixing narrow and wide boards in a way that creates a warm continuous flow throughout the space. We have an unusual staircase that bends at 1200 in the middle. Steve came up with the concept of running the grain for all boards in the same direction through the bend in the «V» so that no seem was required. He machined the boards and cut the bullnose himself and the result is beautiful — clearly the work of a true craftsman. The staircase is now the centerpiece and most welcoming area of our home. We lived in our home while the job was in progress and extensive attention was paid in making sure that our living area stayed clean and that dust was kept to a minimum. The team was married to the job from beginning to end and they showed up on time and worked hard until the evening every week day until the job was done. We would happily recommend Steve and the Fusion Flooring team to our friends and anyone who wants a more beautiful home!

When we were looking to remodel our home and change from the old nasty carpet to hard wood floors we quickly realized that most places out there don’t put any care and quality into the floors they install. Thankfully our friend recommended Steve to us and it was the best decision we could have made. It was obvious from our first meeting that Steve takes great pride in his work and has a very strong sense of integrity. He is a true craftsman which is extremely hard to come by these days. We wanted a custom floor with a European feel in a color that doesn’t come very standard. He offered up many suggestions and was able to mix a custom stain for us that was exactly what we had envisioned. His team was on time every day and I kid you not worked from 7am to 7pm daily including on Saturdays. If you are someone that takes great pride in your house and wants only the best then you have found the right company as Steve only does top of the line quality work. The first thing everyone notices when they come to our house now is what gorgeous hard wood floors we have. We are so happy with our floors and know that our family is going to enjoy them for many many years to come.
