"I highly recommend Monteros Hardwood Flooring. They refinished the hardwood floors at our Redlands home and they look new and we are extremely happy with the results. Javier communicated regularly throughout the project. His team is professional, efficient and very prompt and the work was finished in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the results and we highly recommend them."

Hardwood Installation in Fontana, CA
Most Fontana flooring installs we run start with a homeowner who's lived with carpet or builder-grade for too long. Heavy mix of 2000s and 2010s builder homes (1,800 – 4,500 sq ft) with two stories and slab subfloors, which is exactly the type of subfloor and layout we work on every week.
Our shop in San Bernardino is about 18 minutes from Fontana.

About Fontana Homes
Fontana's North End and Sierra Lakes communities have been booming since the early 2000s, with thousands of large two-story homes that came with builder-grade carpet over plywood. Owners are tearing it out and going hardwood or LVP - that's most of what we install in Fontana.
Housing profile: Heavy mix of 2000s and 2010s builder homes (1,800 – 4,500 sq ft) with two stories and slab subfloors. Older central Fontana has 1950s ranches with original oak strip floors waiting under carpet.

- Fontana pricing aligns with our standard Inland Empire range: $8 – $16 per square foot installed. Final price depends on species, subfloor condition, and demo complexity. Free in-home estimate gives you exact numbers.
- 3 – 7 days for most homes. Fontana permitting is generally fast - most jobs don't require a permit; the few that do (significant subfloor work) we handle for you.
