"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 Flooring Installation in Rialto
Solid and engineered hardwood floors installed by craftsmen with 20+ years on Inland Empire homes.
Hardwood Installation in Rialto, CA
Most Rialto flooring installs we run start with a homeowner who's lived with carpet or builder-grade for too long. Mostly 1980s – 2000s single-family on slab, with a strong stock of 1950s – 1960s ranches in older central Rialto, which is exactly the type of subfloor and layout we work on every week.
Our shop in San Bernardino is about 12 minutes from Rialto. 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.
