Made an appointment with Sue to get an estimate for hardwood floor refinishing for today between 10:30 and 11:30. Waited at home until 12:15 but Walter the estimator did not call or show. Called and texted Sue and she apologized and said he would be available this afternoon on my time schedule. We agreed on 4 pm and she said Walter would call to confirm.

Once again, came home early from work for the appointment and no show or call. Texted Sue with no response as well even when I stated I felt it was only fair I review my experience on Yelp since I found them here. Reached out to this company based on the positive reviews here, but wasted a good portion of my day waiting for them to show. Would hate to rely on them to show for the job at this point.

We were a bit hesitant to hire Atlas Flooring for our 1500 feet of hardwood that needed to be sanded, stained, and sealed. Their quote was about 30% less than other companies we compared. But since we're planning on selling our home, and the floors were in bad shape, we decided to give them a try. We needed to move out for 7 days during the process, so headed to Colorado.

During that time, San Diego was hit hard by a wind and rain storm. We had previously had water infiltration under two west facing doors, so we gave Walter a call to see if he could check on them. He came over on both Saturday and Sunday--and did find some minor leakage that he cleaned up. I doubt that many companies would have taken the time to do this for us.

Not only was their service great, but the floors look awesome. We had a listing agent come in this week, and without even being prompted, the first thing he said was what great floors we had. The similar comment was made by the appraiser yesterday. Needless to say, it was a great experience working with Walter and Atlas Flooring.

We made the mistake of adopting a feral cat a couple of years ago and he destroyed our 4th bedroom by peeing all over it! We finally peeled up the carpet and pad and discovered wood floors in pretty bad shape. We decided to restore the floors opposed to laying down laminate or more carpet. Atlas flooring came out the day after I called them and gave me an estimate on the tiny room.

I got another quote, sight unseen, that was double the quote of Atlas so of course we went with Atlas. They started the project the following week and were finished in three days. They only worked for a few hours the first day and less than an hour on each consecutive day which was very conducive to my current work from home status. I love the work they did and now I want to do our whole house!

After a disastrous experience with an unnamed flooring flooring contractor we hired Atlas Hardwood Flooring to come to our rescue. Walter assigned their expert installer Nick to correct the damages from the previous company and apply the new floor in our family room. He is a true master with 30+ years of experience! After much research we decided to use a new water based product from Lobo that enhances the natural tones of our existing 30 year old white oak floors.

As this product is new to the market Walter was uneasy with using it. He ultimately agreed to use the new Lobo product. The final outcome is that our white oak floors are beautiful beyond our expectations. It truly did bring out the true colors of this natural white oak hardwood! Kudos to Atlas Flooring, Walter& Nick for their perseverance and professionalism. Alex

We had a water leak that created mold damage to our floors. Thankfully, insurance covered and the restoration company had their flooring partner quote the job. Having worked with Atlas before on another house, we didn't care that their estimate was slightly higher. As expected, their work was perfect. Their office is extremely professional and responsive.

The estimate, billing, and transaction flowed super smoothly. I really appreciate efficient systems and theirs works very fluidly. Most importantly, you can tell that they are true artisen craftsmen. From the way that they initially assessed the work to completion, we received top quality.

Atlas came highly recommended by our friend in the historic home restoration field. We scheduled the floors of our 1912 bungalow to be refinished while our home was empty after being a rental for several years. They were able to accommodate a small window of availability and get the work done. They were very clear in their estimate so there would be no surprises.

The end result is stunning. They were meticulous in the corners and areas of complex moldings often neglected with this type of work. I highly recommend hiring Atlas for your precious old floors and please note, they do not work weekends which I commend them for!

We absolutely love the work Atlas floor did refinishing our hardwood floors. These floors had been covered up with carpet and had many rows of nails and some water damage. After Atlas Flooring worked their magic, these floors look brand new. They were great to work with and their price was very reasonable. We highly recommend them

The Atlas flooring team is top notch. Their attention to detail on our old historic rental property gave new life to our old historic floors. They patched and matched everything to perfection.

It's a good place to get your floor done right, even though the show room is closed, call and get it done right the first time

Highly recommend! Extremely responsive and took great pride in their work. My job was small but did not feel that I was insignificant. Walter treated me like all of his clients who were replacing rooms of flooring. Will be sure to use Atlas for any future projects.

My husband and I recently purchased a new house with almost all hard wood floors. Of course, as soon as we received the keys, we were excited to move in. However, we decided that it would be a good idea to have our floors refinished before moving in furniture. We were unsure if it would work out, but we scheduled Atlas to come out and give us an estimate one Saturday, and scheduled movers for the next Saturday. Fortunately, they came out when they said, got down to business, and even suggested some alternatives that would save a bit of money.

We decided to use their services, and they finished the flooring in 4 days, which gave an extra day for the finish to dry before the movers came in. They gave us lots of care info, and the floors look great! We were able to move in when planned, with beautiful floors.

We have had the flooring of the majority of our 4500 sqft house installed, finished or re-finished by Atlas and they are an amazing company and set of people to work with. Respectful, professional, and kind. Shelli is so responsive, nice, and easy to schedule with. Nick who installed and refinished all our floors was meticulous, and did a beautiful job. Walter was great as well, helping us with some of our drainage issues to ensure no water would come in and ruin the floors. It is rare to find a sub that is this easy to work with and with such high quality results. Thank you Shelli, Nick, and Walter for helping to make our home beautiful!

One of the best floor refinishing experiences I've ever had, this company uses the best equipment, their technicians are very skilled, I experienced very good communication throughout the project and the results were outstanding.

I'm a house manager in LJ and I used Atlas to replace some damaged Oak Flooring in a 1/2 bath. They did a great job in an efficient and tidy manner! I will use them for my future wood flooring needs FOR SURE!

We recently had Atlas Flooring refinish and stain our hardwood floors and we couldn't be more satisfied. Not only were they extremely competitive in their price, they were friendly, reliable, efficient, and extremely communicative throughout the entire process. They were able to start and finish our project within two weeks of our request. We would definitely recommend their services to our family and friends. Thank you Walter, Shelli, and Juan for a great job!

I was referred to Atlas by my decorator. Walter came and gave me an estimate and told me what they would be doing. The next week Nick came and worked his magic on my 60-year-old floors. They were all sanded and sealed and look amazing! They We're easy to deal with and I highly recommend them!

I used Atlas Flooring because of the reviews on Yelp. I wasn't disappointed with the quality of the job they did. Not only that but they were able to meet my time frame and finished a few days before my house went on the market. They sanded, patched, and use a light varnish on my hardwood floors that gave this old house a light and airy feel. The recommendation to go without a stain to make the little house look larger was spot on.

Our floors look fabulous! Atlas did demo to dining room/kitchen tile, and laid new flooring to match existing parquet wood. They sanded and stained the two floors to match perfectly. Again, Our floors look fabulous! Walter was a pleasure to work with. He is honest and only does things the right way. We couldn't be happier with our floors. Atlas was attentive, affordable and easy to communicate with. Couldn't recommend Atlas anymore. They were great!

We highly recommend Atlas Hardwood Floors if you are considering refinishing or installing new hardwood floors. The excellent work and customer service was a 12 on a scale of 10. Not one detail was overlooked. This was our second project with them and would not consider using anyone else. They took an impossible project and made it like new.

Ileana and I wanted to thank you for your tremendous work on our new home's floors. I have to admit, after removing the carpet and padding, I was very nervous about what the final product would look like and you blew away our greatest expectations.

We were very impressed with Atlas' work. Walter was a pleasure to work with and even returned after the job was done to review it. The work was perfect and we have received raved reviews. One thing to remember is that when you have the floors sanded, it will get everywhere. Other than that, would have them back again when need be.

We selected Atlas Flooring for a difficult water damage repair on our existing 14 year old ash hardwood floor. Basically, they needed to repair the plywood sub-floor, replace the boards in the damaged area.

We selected Atlas Flooring for a difficult water damage repair on our existing 14 year old ash hardwood floor. Basically, they needed to repair the plywood sub-floor, replace the boards in the damaged area, (approximately 200 sq. ft.) and then lay new ash flooring in an area originally covered by carpet (30 ft. x 30 ft.). Walter did the initial bid, provided us with a hard schedule for installation after the wood arrived, and backed it up with discounts based on schedule slippage.

After the wood arrived (3 weeks from order), it acclimated in the house for about a week and then Nick did the installation. I can't say enough good things about Nick. He is a true craftsman and the hardest worker I have ever hired. He was prompt, clean and is an expert at his craft. He selected each piece of wood to insure the repair looked seamless with the existing floor.

After installation, the wood acclimated for another 2 weeks and then it was sanding, staining and 3 top coats of Polyurethane on 2000 sq.ft. of flooring. We elected to pay a little extra to have the wood water popped to enhance the grain which added an extra day to the process. Nick worked over the weekend to get the process back on the original schedule, finishing a day early and getting us back in our house the day before Thanksgiving.

The whole process took about 6 weeks from wood delivery, but the results were outstanding. We couldn't be more pleased with the results and would recommend Atlas Flooring to anyone looking to re-finish or repair an existing floor.
