"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."

Waterproof, kid-proof, dog-proof flooring that looks like real hardwood - installed in a day or two.
Luxury Vinyl Plank in Riverside, CA
Most Riverside flooring installs we run start with a homeowner who's lived with carpet or builder-grade for too long. Wide era spread: 1900s – 1940s bungalows with original oak waiting to be revealed, 1960s ranches with raised foundations, and 2000s slab-on-grade developments in Orangecrest and Mission Grove, which is exactly the type of subfloor and layout we work on every week.
Our shop in San Bernardino is about 28 minutes from Riverside. 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 Riverside County for over 20 years.

Luxury Vinyl Plank FAQ for Riverside Homeowners
- Yes - Riverside is one of our core service cities. We work in Wood Streets, Mission Grove, and the rest of the city weekly. Our shop is about 28 minutes away in San Bernardino, so response times are fast.
- Riverside pricing aligns with our standard Inland Empire range: $4 – $9 per square foot installed. Final price depends on species, subfloor condition, and demo complexity. Free in-home estimate gives you exact numbers.
- 1 – 3 days for most homes. Riverside permitting is generally fast - most jobs don't require a permit; the few that do (significant subfloor work) we handle for you.
- Yes - quality SPC and rigid-core LVP is fully waterproof on the surface. Standing water in seams should still be wiped up reasonably soon, but spills, splashes, and pet accidents are no problem.
- LVP is fully waterproof; laminate is water-resistant at best. LVP is softer underfoot. Laminate is typically a touch cheaper and often has better visuals at the budget end. We bring both samples to your estimate.
- In most cases, yes - if the tile is well-bonded and reasonably flat. We assess during the estimate. Going over tile saves a demo day.
- It's our most-recommended flooring for pet households. Scratch-resistant, waterproof for accidents, and easy to clean.
- Quality LVP carries 20 – 30 year residential warranties. Real-world life depends on traffic and the wear layer thickness - we explain the differences during the estimate.
