About
I have almost 20 years of experience as a flooring installer and finish carpenter. I’m licensed and bonded, CCB #171504. Experience really matters when it comes to installing floors that last. I’ve replaced many floors that other contractors have installed due to their not having training, experience and tools needed to do it correctly. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist (which drives my wife crazy at times) but my floors are always done right the first time and my customers are always happy with my work. I specialize in pre-finished hardwood, engineered hardwood, vinyl plank (LVP), vinyl tile, (LVT) and laminate floors. I can do all forms of trim/base molding installation work. I do NOT paint, stain, sand or finish hardwood flooring, but I can provide many options to integrate, cover or remove existing flooring to ensure you get the right look for your home.

Jake is efficient and does very high quality work. He was so easy to work with and responsive and helpful when we had questions. We did a full demolition and renovation of a kitchen and two bathrooms as well as updating lots of flooring. Jake did all the demo, installed all the kitchen cabinets and some of the appliances as well as all the bathroom vanities, tubs, etc. and kept the job on track managing the subcontractors. I have worked with lots of contractors over the years and I would rate Jake at the top. He showed up on time, worked hard and did quality work.

Jake did a fabulous job for us! He takes pride in his work and really seems to enjoy it. Jake was professional, on time and worked hard. We ran in to a couple of snags which he readily worked thru. He is solution focused and kind. We will hire him again and highly recommend him!

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Make sure that your installer knows how to do all the necessary floor leveling and preparation before installation. Many floors fail quickly when appropriate time isn’t taken in this commonly overlooked area. All wood and concrete subfloors can be made flat.
