CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

As a testament to how pleasant my experience has been thus far, I am submitting a Yelp review before my project has even completed.

I found Ray on Yelp.  I initially called him to let him know about a problem I am having with some unevenness in my wood flooring (caused by a potentially shoddy installation done years ago by another company).  Ray took the time to discuss the problem with me over the phone.  A few days later, he came over to my house and inspected Read full testimonial

Ray was a pleasure to work with. Extremely honest and upfront. He pulled the carpet from our entire house and restored the original hardwood. He kept us up to date on the progress daily. The floors turned out amazing, we couldn't be happier.

Ray is Fantastic,
He did a job for me as a favor and really help me out of a tight spot.  He did not even ask of any pay.  Also, the quote he gave me for other work was very competitive and his communication was amazing.  Thank you Ray!!!!!!!!!!

I've used Ray twice and I forgot to review him the prior time so I'm trying to make up for the fact that I promised a review for his great work.
Not much to say except, great craftsmanship, great service, and great prices.
He's a small shop but you get amazing service from him and he really cares about his customers.

Can't recommend Ray from Oakridge enough.

Ray was so easy to work with.  We needed the original red oak floors (that were hidden under carpeting for over 40 years) for a rental, repaired and refinished and he went out of his way to get the job done quickly.  He went over the job with us in every room, pointing out which boards needed to be replaced or asking us if we wanted a semi stained board replaced.  We are so glad we called him and would recommend him to our friends and family.  He saved our beautiful floors Read full testimonial

If I could give Ray more than 5 stars, I would.  Ray is by far the most professional, courteous, accommodating contractor I have ever worked with.  Before I even agreed to use his services he spent a great deal of time with me providing very useful information and advice.  Ray removed all the carpeting from my house and replaced it with laminate flooring (we decided that would be the best choice for my three dogs).   He always showed up on time and was respectful of my hou Read full testimonial

Ray literally saved my floor and my sanity! We bought a beautiful home with not very beautiful hardwood floors. No one was sure what kind of wood it was, whether it was hardwood or engineered. Ray spent several hours with us talking and thinking about the best method to use to restore our floors. He handled the job himself and when all the dust had settled we have the most beautiful walnut floors I have ever seen! Ray is professional, conscientious, and an artist! If you have wood floors that Read full testimonial

Ray is the best!  He is honest and hard working.  He did a fabulous job installing additional hardwood flooring in our condo which matched the existing hardwood perfectly!  He is an all around nice guy and very trustworthy.  We would recommend him to any of our friends and family.  His prices are fair and his work is amazing.  He is very dependable and prompt.

Ramon is a master when it comes to hardwood flooring. From the first day he came over to give me an evaluation and estimate, and all the way to the end when the job was completed, I felt like I had nothing to worry about. I never had to check up on the status because the work was always done when promised. The quality and attention to detail was superb. Every single nook and cranny was looked at, and refinished. My wife and I were amazed when we saw the finished product. The color was exactly Read full testimonial

Ray Markarien was very informative and helpful about floor options and about being economical. He and his assistant were always punctual and reliable. They worked diligently and efficiently. They helped me by moving old furniture I wanted to discard to the curb for city pickup. When a door and cabinet needed adjustment so the new floor would fit smoothly, ray cut them appropriately and neatly. I very much appreciated Ray's professionalism and courteousness. He and his assistant Carmelo di Read full testimonial

Very good! Ray was smart, courteous and prompt. He gave a fair estimate and finished the project on time. He was at the house every day until completion. I was fully satisfied with the quality of his work.

Oakridge Hardwood Flooring is run by and the work is performed by Ray Markarian . He is a very knowledgeable and professional guy, eager to please his costumers. He cares a lot about the quality of his work, he is super friendly and very reasonable. After the job was done and paid for in full, a few weeks later he came back on his own, -without reminding him, - to install some reducers at about six locations. He is a very honest, straightforward and hardworking guy. Would definitely use him a Read full testimonial

Oakridge Hardwood Flooring did our flooring. It went pretty well. He came out and gave us a couple of estimates based on what we wanted to do. We had some issues with where they got the flooring from, but it wasn't them. The contractors were great, they came out and they did the work in 2 days. It looks fantastic.

Valerie Fletcher
Glendale, CA

Ray is incredible, I really can't say enough good things about him. He really knows his stuff, he's never in a rush, and your happiness is his main goal. He is an honest, trustworthy guy, who I give 5/5 stars. The floors are beautiful. I've worked with several contractors and specialists over the years, and Ray is a special guy. So...if you are thinking of hiring him or calling him...do it! 

Rebekah LeBeau
Los Aangeles, CA

Ray was knowledgeable about various flooring products and refinishing techniques. He did a good job making sure I had enough information to make in informed decision on the work to be done and the materials to be used. He was prompt, courteous and appears to take pride in his work. He went the extra mile by coming back to help me move a few big pieces of furniture at no extra charge. Best of all, my old hardwood floor now looks great! 

Mike Turner
Northridge, CA

Overall, I'm very very happy with how everything turned out. The wood floor is beautiful, the transition from wood to tile looks great, and Ray found good solutions to all the tricky parts around the step and stairs. He even did some random things I didn't ask him to like adjusting the threshold of my front door to be a better seal. And on top of it all, Ray ended up charging me only $2975 for the installation because things weren't quite as bad as he though. Between the quality o Read full testimonial

Mike Hamler

Ray was on time, he secured my home with lots of plastic and my furniture and made sure that the dust was minimal. He is a perfectionist and was very focused on doing a good job. He repaired the marks left by Kalley and filled in the holes that Kalley had ignored. The color was good and Ray communicated with me throughout the process. Overall, I wish I had gone with Ray from the start. It was a very good experience, he really cared about my home and doing a good job. I had gotten a number of Read full testimonial

Toni Reinis
Marina Del Rey, CA

The workers were respectful, always on time and worked from morning until the end of the day...sometimes staying late so that the project would stay on schedule. Ray was great about keeping us informed on the progress and plans for the next day. He even found ways to save money for us on some of the materials. It was absolutely the best experience with any contractor with whom we have ever worked. They are AMAZING! We are delighted with our beautiful floors and would happily recommend Ray and Read full testimonial

Pam Reynolds

He fitted the job into his schedule immediately. Ray and his assistant Davey started the work on Friday sanding and staining the floor. Saturday and Sunday they put the first and second coat of sealer on. Also (on Saturday), Ray went out of his way running around to different suppliers to match the molding that needed to be replaced, and tinted the wood border to match perfectly. On Monday they installed the molding and wood border and put the last polyurethane coat on the floor. The job was Read full testimonial

Raymond and his assistant did an excellent job on my hardwood floors... very nice guys, very fair, incredibly hard workers, very easy to have in the house. They had to deal with a variety of woods and made everything look like it matched... not an easy thing to do. They were always prompt and got the job done on time. Would definitely use this company again without hesitation... they're great. 

Michael Dworski
Seattle, WA

The first day both Raymond and his assistant David worked long hours sanding down the floors. Raymond is very detail oriented and he is incredibly knowledgeable. Right away I felt at ease knowing that our floors were in good hands. Raymond was at our house every day working on our floors and overseeing the progress. He also had a very skilled assistant that was equally dedicated to get the job done right. They were punctual, extremely polite, and very organized. Raymond gave me options on the Read full testimonial

They had excellent craftsmanship and service. They were very attentive. I was totally pleased with them. 

Jack Anderson

Perfect, as usual! This is the FOURTH time we've had Ray install our flooring! As you can see from the photos I've posted here previously, the results are absolutely beautiful. I cannot repeat enough to come off sounding like a broken record, but if you need flooring---call Ray! He is a master at what he does with his attention to detail. His prices are very good, and he is a pleasure to work with. Skip those gigantic flooring franchises---call Ray at Oakridge flooring! 

Shelley Butler
West Hills, CA

Ray did a great job refinishing our floors and he finished the job in record time. It was a challenging job--we have 3/4 inch wide plank pine flooring from Vermont that was installed 20 years ago, and it was in pretty bad shape. Ray was meticulous and very concerned about making us happy with the finished product. The floor looks absolutely beautiful-probably better than it looked when it was first installed 20 years ago! It was a great experience and we are very happy with the results.

Debra Creadick
Camarillo, CA

To say he did a great job on my floors is an understatement My wife is very happy :) Ray is very personable, he will make you feel like you are his only client, and will go above and beyond to make sure you are 100% satisfied with his work. Once he quotes you a price, that's it, no nickel and dime antics with him. This is my first home, and although pretty empty minus a few appliances, i felt completely comfortable giving him the key to my property for the five days from beginning to the Read full testimonial

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with home repair/remodeling. Ray is a master floor guy, period. The job went smoothly and he finished ahead of schedule. It simply could not have gone better. The floors look amazing - like new. Great service, great price and fantastic craftsmanship. Don't use anyone else, Ray is the absolute best. A++++++++++++ 

Candace Chase
North Hollywood, CA

Ray is a pleasure to work with - from start to finish of the job. He showed up on time, was easy to talk to and worked very hard.Due to Ray's knowledge and experience, he wisely to ask me to call him back after all the furniture had been removed, then promptly came by the house and lifted much of the old carpeting from edges of the room so we had an educated idea about condition of the floor underneath, prior to providing an estimate. None of the other floor companies did this and gave ov Read full testimonial

Karen Magarian
Van Nuys, CA

Job well done at a good price. Ray is a very knowledgeable and helpful guy. Took a floor that had been abused and neglected for fifteen years and got it looking like new in one day. Even came back the next morning to help move the furniture back in. 

John Smith
Santa Rosa, CA

This is the third time we have used Ray's services! As you can see from my earlier report, once he did our living room floor, we were so thrilled at the results, that we had him come back and do the bedroom floor. Then we wanted to have the TV room/den floor done and our two offices! We would have had him do our entire house if possible! We were so pleased with the gorgeous laminate flooring that Ray installed in our living room that we chose the laminate again. We highly recommend this t Read full testimonial

Shelley Butler

From start to finish, Ray was a good communicator, explaining the process in detail...with a great attitude. He was always punctual, did the job on time and for the price he estimated. He also went above and beyond what he said he was going to do, replacing more damaged planks than discussed (which blended seamlessly). He took a lot of pride in his work and made sure everything was timed just right as well as completely protected in the curing process. We are grateful we found him here on Ang Read full testimonial

Courtney L. Fain
Granada Hills, CA

Ray was terrific. He did a fabulous job on the wood and charged the same price he quoted. He communicated with us in the weeks before he started, letting us know the excat start date. And he even offered us an earlier date. He cleaned up afterwards and made sure to cover doorways and shelves with plastic. I highly recommend Oakridge Hardwood Flooring! 

Colleen Paeff
Los Angeles, CA

From start to finish I was very happy with my choice of contractors. Ray is prompt and alway available to answer questions and address concerns. He expressed his opinions, but made sure I did my homework to find the flooring that would be best for my family. I had previously chosen a floor from Lumber Liquidators and gotten an estimate from one of their installers. I am so glad that I did a little more research, because I think I got a better price for a far superior floor. Ray provided me wi Read full testimonial

Catherine Noe

Ray was referred to me by my former employer in the flooring industry. He was prompt, dependable and did a beautiful job on my floors. We set up the schedule and he was there on the day and on time, great experience. 

Bonnie Weinberg
West Hills, CA

Ray was incredible. I had purchased bamboo flooring years ago and had been storing it. Ray did an enormous amount of research prior to installing that particular flooring on slab. He was extremely reliable, responsive, professional, and competitive with his estimate. When it came time to install the flooring he was meticulous - they did an absolutely beautiful job! If I ever need flooring work done again, I would not call anyone but him.

Nancy Nino
Los Angeles, CA

Raymond couldn't have made this whole ordeal go any smoother. He came in, did the job, and even finished before the day we originally thought. He called me with some concerns that arose mid job- pet stains deep in the wood- but already had numerous ways how to fix them. When I came back from my trip I was pleased to see his finished work. They were gorgeous.He's been great about calling to make sure I'm happy with them and to give me tips on how to make them last a life time. All- Read full testimonial

Michelle DeVille
Granada Hills, CA

Fantastic! If there was a grade of A+ we would give it to Ray! This service was an epic because when my husband and I first decided to have the floor done, we had planned to have the hardwood floor that was underneath the carpet refinished. The results are stunning and I do not exaggerate. I posted some pictures here, but the pictures can't tell you how luxurious the floor feels beneath ones' feet, nor how it truly has transformed the living room. If any of Angie's List members ar Read full testimonial

Ray did a wonderful job refinishing our hardwood floors. I did not think he could salvage them, but he spent hours working on my floors and they turned out perfect. He was very reasonable and prompt with his work. Thanks Ray!! 

Ani Aratounians
Glendale, CA

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the job Ray did for us. Ray is a highly skilled craftsman and it shows in his attention to detail. He was so conscientious in the way he cared for not just our floors but our home. The advice he gave us on the stain and the finish was right on. He has integrity. The reducer he was about to install was a hair too short but I knew it wouldn't show because it would be hidden by the sofa that was going in front of it, and to save him a trip, I said Read full testimonial

Yvonne Corcoran
Porter Ranch, CA

 just wanted a quote to refinish my hardwood floors. He was prompt. Called me back and was on time when he said he would be. It was only a quote so I don't know if the price is fair but I think it is. Nice guy and he has gotten a lot of business from being on Angie's List.

Joni Soto
Winnetka

The floors under our carpeting were riddled with water damage, pet urine stains, cupping and missing pieces where linoleum had been substituted for wood planks. Another company said "Don't worry, we'll take care of it" without testing it with sander and two others said be prepared to select a darker stain to blend in the damaged spots. Ray came over in advance of the job to test the worst spots before he would say with certainty what could be done. He had integrity and an up Read full testimonial

Maria Ruiz
Glendale, CA

Ray was top-notch from start to finish. He was prompt, courteous, professional and tidy. He made us very aware of safety issues and showed concern to limit our exposure to fumes. He also made clear that he was very careful to use the best products to limit the possibility of moisture problems, which I appreciated. He installed a beautiful floor in a timely manner. He showed real concern for whether I was happy with the end result.

Carol Campbell
Santa Clarita, CA

I hired Oakridge Flooring to place laminated tile over the front area. The area covered over 600 square feet. I had a great experience. He had total control. We gave him the keys and left on a trip. When he was working at the house, he babysat our dog.

Crystal Sarellano
Palmdale, CA

He layed a wood floor and stairs for an addition in the family room and refinished the existing wood floors. He came up with a custom color for us. We had an accident with a washing machine and he came back so fast to get everything back the way it was. He also did custom pegging for us in the new floor. I cannot say enough nice things prompt responsive good work ethic. 

Linde Buzard
Los Angeles, CA

He was very conscientious and concerned about the working conditions and making sure my wood would breathe. He made sure all the doors were locked and closed so no air would get in. He was very professional. To find people that are that into their work really impressed me.

Nancy Kane
Agoura Hills, CA

They were very reliable and professional. The work was performed in a timely manner. I checked around on price and their price was the most reasonable. I would definitely hire them again. 

Maria Polon
Sylmar, CA

They were reasonable on price. They did a fabulous job! They are very meticulous. They moved furniture, covered everything, removed doors, re-did the floors. They even did the closets. We left for the weekend to let the floors harden and came back to everything completed and cleaned up. I thought it was nice that he even pointed out a few spots that he said may not come out but could blend with the floor more.

Elizabeth Martinez
Sylmar, CA

They came to my house that I lived in 5 years ago and did some work on my floors. He did some sanding and refinished the floors. I was very happy with them. They were very understanding and easy to communicate with. He’s just a real nice guy and easy to work with. Very happy with them. 

Patrick Jevonshire
Los Angeles, CA

They installed hardwood flooring throughout my home. They did an excellent job. I told them that I didn't want the floor to be too shiny or glossy and they were able to do it exactly the way I wanted it. They moved my furniture with care and even covered while they were doing the work. I was very pleased.

Adolph Colon
Reseda, CA

They installed new oak flooring. They also sanded and finished the other oak floors in the home. Everything turned out excellent; they have high quality work. They are also prompt, professional, and courteous. They also offer a very high level of attention to detail and the wood floor they installed was replicated to match the rest of the wood in the home. The materials they used were of a high quality as well.
