Buyer Beware! Our search for floors started with the usual big stores ( Home Depot / Lowes etc), we came across Universal Harwood Floors based on someone's recommendation to support local businesses. The sales experience was good, we found a good selection of floors, priced well. We purchased the floors through them. Under 24 hours after picking up the floors from their wholesalers in Van Nuys, we realized there's gorgeous floors underneath the floor we just removed and no longer needed the new floors. Called them back, to see if we could return the floors. Got a call back that there would be a 25% restocking fee on all materials purchased ( floors, glue etc ).

For an entire house order it was a significant amount. I tried to appeal to their human side to see if anything more reasonable would be possible. (I offered $1000 USD for the "inconvenience", but they wanted A LOT more). The policy was more intended for returns of excess materials purchased, not the entire order. Got a firm NO. I did check in with competitors & EVERYONE else has no issues refunding in 90 days, unless it was a custom designed floor order ( mine wasn't, stock engineered wood.) Sometimes big stores care more for their customers than "local" businesses for their neighbors! Expensive lesson learned. If you need floors, go elsewhere.

They are great and really know hardwood flooring. I wish I found them before I installed hardwood flooring in my kitchen. When it came to the rest of my house, they helped me pick out a great wood and recommended an amazing installer. I recommend Universal to anyone interested in hardwood floors.

I called Jeff on Saturday morning to conduct a series of sophisticated acoustic tests in my apartment for a lawsuit for noise nuisances Dispute in multi family apartment building. I was so impressed that he had all the logistics contacting me on the same day(Weekend) such as Sound Scientist and expert Witness, attorney with 30 years of the expertise in noise nuisance Litigation, Another attorney with construction specialty as a backup for second opinion and etc.

He is so responsive and he answered my emails on Sunday at 1 am promptly. If you have an issue regarding noise due to flooring, just call him and he has a complete team of experts that you need with the least price compared to others! Thank you Jeff I hope God makes it up to because I feel relieved now just because of you!

I never write reviews online, but Wendy and the team at Universal Hardwood were so amazing that I decided that this would be my first. They couldn't have been more helpful, nice, and patient with me. I had a hard time deciding which style I wanted, and they stood by me every step of the way, presenting different samples and options for months at a time. I didn't end up going with hardwood after all, but I would recommend Universal based on the customer service and great reputation. Definitely check them out.

Jeff and Wendy were so helpful with the purchase of our wood flooring. Our search for flooring was for a home renovation in Orange County. After visiting countless vendors and quotes, were were able to decide within minutes after discovering Universal Hardwood. We will be returning for our other home projections.

I was fortunate in being directed by a friend to Universal Hardwood. Mario was so patient and helpful and finally found the perfect hardwood for my home. He recommended Melvin Hardwood Floors to do the installation and his people did a gorgeous job. I am so pleased with the results.

We went to their showroom, hoping to see specific engineered wood flooring lines. At the store, most of what we saw was a brand we didn't know and couldn't easily research the quality and performance of (Giddy-Up?). For this reason, we ended up going with someone else where we could independently confirm the quality of the wood we were buying. That issue aside, the staff in the store were easy to talk to, and did follow-up with us via phone a few times to see how our decision making was progressing.

I was referred to Universal Hardwood Flooring by my contractor. Wendy and Jeff were extremely nice and helpful. There is a good selection of flooring compared to other stores that I had been to. It can be stressful to make an expensive purchase on something you are unfamiliar with and overall this was a very good experience. Definitely recommend!

We recently replaced our hardwood floors with beautiful Lauzon 5 3/16 inch maple. Universal provided excellent guidance in selecting the wood in a customer friendly manner. Once it was selected, the project was started within a week. The installers were excellent, providing attention to detail. We are very happy with the completed installation. Our condo looks fantastic with the new updated hardwood floors.

Wonderful service! Very friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of flooring including exotic woods. Delivery was on time and we were very impressed with their professionalism. Installation was perfect and clean. Our exotic wood floor was installed two years ago and it looks beautiful!

My wife and I ventured into Universal Hardwood around 6 months ago. At the time, we were clueless on the various hardwood flooring types and grains. They were a joy to work with, loaning us many samples and answering many questions. Their knowledge of the hardwood flooring is impressive. We eventually purchased flooring for our dining and living rooms from them. The flooring looks amazing. We have entertained many times since the flooring was installed, and we always get compliments on the floor. Thanks Universal Hardwoods.

I recently purchased hardwood floors for the remodel of my home from Universal Hardwood- they were very knowledgeable about all the various floor covering options as well as finishes. They took the time to help me find what was really best for me and I got just the right mix of rift and quarter sawn oak. The quality of the wood is superb and it is exactly what I was hoping for. Their customer service was excellent and they were very responsive. Their pricing was competitive and I would recommend them to my friends and family!
