Gretchen Moline and Eddie Diaz founded Domino Hardwood Floors, Inc. in 2005. Together, they have over fifty years experience in wood floors. Moline and Diaz came to Portland from Miami, Florida, where they founded and ran a successful hardwood flooring business that continues its success after they sold in order to move to Portland.
Their Miami, Florida, company was the business of choice for designers, high-end consumer home builders and other clients who requested special craftsmanwork like inlay, borders, medallions and custom designed parquets. Their award-winning work is featured in Florida Architecture Magazine, Florida Design and Casa & Estillo.

Services
Maintenance
Report
Use protective walk-off mats at the exterior doors to help prevent sand and grit from walking onto the floor. Also, if your kitchen has wood floors, you may want to place a throw rug in front of the sink to catch spills and splashes. Install proper floor protectors on furniture legs used on hardwood floors. Protectors will allow chairs to move easily over the floor without scratching.
Finishing
Report
There are two types of finishes available: Penetrating finishes which penetrate into the wood to provide protection and surface finishes which protect the surface of the wood. Penetrating finishes are low sheen. For surface finishes we have low VOC waterborne and oil-modified urethanes in different sheens: satin, semi-gloss and gloss.
Installations
Report
We install hardwood flooring such as North American red oak, white oak, maple, cherry, walnut, hickory and many others as well as West Coast natives including madrone, big leaf maple, Oregon white oak, California chestnut, N.W. Orchard walnut and Douglas fir. We also have a wide selection of exotic woods including bamboo, Brazilian cherry, tigerwood, spotted gum and many more.
Sanding
Report
We use a superior dust containment system for our sanding and finishing process. We have the Bona Atomic 110 Dust Containment System and it greatly reduces the dust that is generated when sanding a wood floor. When requested, we can put up draping film which further reduces dust in a room. We always recommend that draperies and art be removed before sanding a room.

PLEASE READ! After EDDIE DIAZ committed to our project, sending the contract/bid and telling us we need to have our floor ripped up, EDDIE DIAZ decided he would not install our new floor after all. After calling him (because he didn't call me to tell me this) he agreed to do the project if we made improvements to our subfloor. We then found someone who could fix the subfloor, confirmed the hardwood delivery, and went to bed.
I woke up to receive a call from Eddie the next day. EDDIE DIAZ was calling to tell me that he now would not install our hardwood flooring (which we have now confirmed the delivery on), even if we made the subfloor improvements he asked us to. To recap, now we are stuck with a completely ripped up floor, 1200 square feet of hardwood flooring on the way and no one to install it.
My wife and I spent countless hours and a number of years dreaming and planning for this renovation (not to mention saving money for the project) only to have EDDIE DIAZ BACK OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND. Because of him, it looks like we won't be able to get anyone in until 2021. That means we will have no floors and our home will look like a construction zone through the Thanksgiving, Christmas and The New Year. Please avoid this company and EDDIE DIAZ at all costs

Eddie and his crew had sanded my floors, put in flush mount air vents covers, and replace my linoleum flooring in the kitchen during a remodel. Then before moving back into my home after having renters, Eddie and his team buffed and recoated the floors. We used a finish that was environmentally friendly and kept the wood its natural color. The crew was professional and on time.
The guys kept the house and work areas clean and did an excellent job. Eddie and Gretchen are great to work with and I appreciate their experience and advice. I highly recommend Domino Hardwood Floors and will use them again when I replace the downstairs carpet! Here are some pictures that highlight my beautiful floors!

Just completed a very positive experience with Eddie and his crew at our new home. We had an existing floor resanded and refinished and also extended into other areas in the house. The team was very reliable, highly competent, caring, and careful. They did a beautiful job and we are so pleased. Without any hesitation I would use them again and they have my highest recommendation.

Eddie and his team did an absolute amazing job repairing and refinishing our hardwood floors. Not only do they look and feel amazing, they were extremely professional to work with--excellent communication, work was completed AHEAD of schedule and no surprise fees or alterations to our contract. Highly recommended!
