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. Close enough for fast service calls, established enough that we know the neighborhoods, the building stock, and the local building department. We've been installing hardwood and luxury flooring across San Bernardino County for over 20 years.

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.

Hardwood Installation FAQ for Fontana Homeowners

Do you serve Fontana for hardwood installation? +
Yes - Fontana is one of our core service cities. We work in North Fontana, Sierra Lakes, and the rest of the city weekly. Our shop is about 18 minutes away in San Bernardino, so response times are fast.
What's typical pricing for hardwood installation in Fontana? +
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.
How long will a hardwood installation project take in Fontana? +
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.
How long does a typical hardwood install take? +
For an average 1,500 – 2,500 sq ft home, plan on 3 – 7 working days, including the acclimation window. Larger or more intricate jobs run longer; we give you the exact schedule in writing before we start.
Solid or engineered - which is right for my home? +
In the Inland Empire, both work well above grade. Solid is the gold standard for refinishing decades down the road. Engineered is more dimensionally stable for slab subfloors and hot, dry summers. We bring samples of each and walk through the trade-offs in your home.
Do you remove and dispose of the old flooring? +
Yes. Tear-out, haul-away, and disposal are included in every install quote. You don't need a dumpster.
What about my furniture? +
We move standard furniture as part of the job. Pianos, gun safes, oversized pieces, and electronics are typically the homeowner's responsibility - we'll flag this in writing during the estimate.
Do you offer financing? +
Yes - 0% promotional financing is available for qualified customers. Ask during your free estimate and we'll walk through the options.

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."

"Another local hardwood refinisher flaked on me like 3 days before the scheduled job, but Javier and his guys came on short notice and got my 1,050 sq ft job done in 2 and a half days. They were total pros and my floors look and feel incredible. Communication was stellar as well. Highly recommend their services!"
