Seriously a joke. NEVER have wood in stock. NEVER have any other products in stock (vinyl plank). American man that works there only chain smokes cigarettes even if you're waiting to be helped. Doesn't have proper/correct information on products. just a freakin joke. Go to GALLEHER OR GAIA THEY HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED plus a staff that won't put you on hold for a cigarette.
Super unprofessional like I said, a JOKE in the flooring industry. & the OWNERS are full of sh* can't ever get what the costumer needs. It's a costumer service kind of job yet the costumers needs or wants don't matter i don't even know how this company is still even open.

Great prices, knowledgeable staff, they helped us get proper hardwood floors and educated about moisture and cold problems that can arise while installing in new construction. Offered next day free devilery and even put us in contact with the delivery driver to make the process painless. We haven't installed yet, but I'm confident we selected the best product for the best price. Thank you

They advised me on a high end white wash to go over my fir fioor. I ran by my plan w/ them. then, including, after the whitewash, using a clear protective coat afterward- no mention of potential problems. afterward, when I explained the result - that it yellowed the whitewash finish once the clear coat dried, the guy there said, oh yea, sometimes a protective coat can pull up the yellow from the wood itself, if the ingredients of the whitewash and protective coating aren't compatible. they offered to refund for the cost of the whitewash. really? after having ithe old floor stripped, sanded down, patched, etc., and I would have to repeat all that to get the old, just finished whitewash/coating off to start again, free paint!
I passed. I expect more then bad advice from a comp which specializes in wood floors and refinishing materials for them. Now, if that was the Lowes advice, I wouldn't have been surprised, which is why I didn't cross the street when starting the job.

We purchased some Brazil hardwood prefinished floor from this company (Cumaru), it was known to be one of the hardest floor. The price is expensive with this kind of floor. I expect much more from it. However, the experience is this floor is kind of fragile. The package that came with lots of black color on the wood as well. My kid drop a plastic toy can cause a dent on the floor, movement of the tiny plastic toy can cause scratches.
For the stairways, we used the unfinished Cumaru, these products came with lots of nature cracks in the Stair Thread and the stair nose. With heavy traffic of the stairs, we experience lots of dents and scratch lines already. I wish I would choose a better floor.

I have now gone to 3 hardwood flooring places and I have to say Damian, sales rep at Cal_Wood Flooring, is great. He is very knowledgeable on flooring and design. He takes his time explaining your options. The other stores I went to either had no one available to answer questions, they were not up to date on the products or they were in a hurry to get to the next person. I highly recommend going to Cal-Wood Flooring and working with Damian.

I've been all over town for months, in and out of all kinds of places trying to find various materials for our remodel. Of all of them, my experience here was possibly the best. Robert was super helpful in telling me about all of my options, and the choices he had to offer far exceeded what I was expecting.

CAL-Wood SF I'm a General Contractor and couldn't believe they had the beveled red oak planks to match and fix my 1950's existing floors, as no one else did. Before hanging up, I inquired of solid Oak treads and risers to cover my 14 stairs, just to see if they had it & get a idea of cost. They had it, the price was great, the phone call took all of 5 minutes - he said it was stocked, ready to pick up.
I walked in, paid, (got the stair package) was right on my way in 15 minutes. The whole process was suspiciously way too easy, only because I'm so used to such purchases to be long, frustrating, and exhausting. If you need a new showroom and spiffy salesman this is not for you. If you need nice, knowledgeable people, and results, this is the place. Speed, price, and quality won me over, hence the review. Would recommend to friends and others.

This review is for San Jose Cal-Wood Location. I would strongly recommend to go to San Jose. Excellent collection and Williams is the best to deal with and superb as manager of this store. I have been to many Hardwood/Flooring stores - San Jose Cal-Wood comes to the top. We had 3000 SQ FT of engineered hardwood to purchase for a complex brand new construction and I am very happy that I made a decision to come here than many other stores in South Bay.
It took me 4-6 months overall but our hard research paid off. Christian is also a great person in William's team. They hold my entry tile marble in front of all the engineered wood and so easier for me and my wife to select the correct one. Cal-Wood San Jose rocks!

This business is in a shared building with a granite company who closes early so don't look at the door directly under the address, go far left. This place is a giant warehouse with a sizable showroom off immediately to the left when you enter the door. I assume its frequented primarily by contractors or installers. My installer sent me there for some supplies for a tiny DIY repair job.
The guy seemed nice enough but he didn't seem like he had much experience. I was hoping to get someone who was just as knowledgeable as my installer to sell me the supplies I needed. Since they didn't have it in stock, I will look elsewhere tomorrow.

Some of the best customer service I've had in a long time! I'm doing a bit of DIY, slightly hectic project putting in new floors on a deadline the week before I move into a new place. I'm a new homeowner, and yes, a little out of my league. I ordered a bunch of wood this week, piece of cake, and called back to add some wood glue. When I described my project, instead of a simple, one-word reply, I got in-depth, detailed instruction on how to complete my project.
I don't know how I missed the name of the guy I was speaking with, but he was thorough in going over a new plan with me, getting me new supplies, and walking through the best option for my project. He was patient and generous and a real support in figuring out what would work best. Overall, he saved me a ton of money in avoiding supplies I didn't need and helping me choose what would be best for me long-term. I'm really grateful for his knowledge and generosity.
I know Cal-wood doesn't normally deal with the general public, but I'm so glad they would take the time to help me out. Thanks very much - hope my patronage and this review can return some of the kindness you offered.

I'm not a contractor, and I had been searching for a few days before I found this place. Home Depot, Lowe's, and Lumber Liquidators didn't have what I needed, nor did any online dealer (only engineered hardwood crap), so I was getting really frustrated with the whole process and was about to give up. One quick phone call to these guys and in 5 min I was heading over.
I don't know how this could have been any easier. I walked in, told one of the guys at the front (fully equipped to go into greater detail) what I needed, he says almost nothing, a few quick key strokes, says "Is that it?", I say "Yup", he walks to the printer and grabs the sales slip, then says "Pay her and walk across the street to get your order".
So I pay and go hand my order slip to a guy in the warehouse, (still no words), he comes back 1 min later with a bundled stack of wood already strapped and ready to go. I said, "Is that it?". He says "Yup, you're good." DONE! The whole transaction took maybe 10 minutes max! Granted, I'm not well educated on hardwood pricing, but I do know that their price ($2.19/sf of red oak 5/16" x 2" hardwood) was about half that of the major big box retailers.
At that point in my search I didn't care what it cost, I just wanted to be done. So paying so little was icing on the cake. I was a little suspicious the whole time because it was soooo simple. I kept feeling like I was missing something. Nope, it was just that they know their stuff and don't waste time on making things more difficult for you. Don't be thrown by their casual demeanor. they are good!
I guess I had just built up such a thick defense dealing with stupid people and people that would rather be uncooperative that when I finally ran into a business that runs so well, I was thrown off guard. Very easy and pleasant experience.

The worst. There are a lot of reasons why this place is super bad. As a reader I know you want to know some and I certainly don't had enough space to list them all. The wood was not ready when promised. (Contractor had to be rescheduled which costs money). The varnishing I paid for was half done and wet when I was finally called to pick it up.
The casings and noses were the wrong finish and size and the dismissal of these and other frustrating and costly blunders was a shrug of the shoulders and a simple, "I know, I know". Zero compensation, zero sense of regret and with that I will end by saying that this is one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had.

This was my first stop on my quest to remodel my new home and put in new floors. Robert and Jason are great. Robert was extremely helpful and went over all our choices. We wanted maple floors. he said everyone is going away from oak. They are a distributor and can give pretty good prices on stuff. HAGGLE! Mark up is about 20% or MORE! You should be close to their cost for the stuff.
They also have a 30 day return policy on unopened flooring. WOW! My realtor returned 3,000 lbs. of flooring because she didn't like the micro bevel. But after doing extensive shopping i ended up buying flooring online from www.fastfloors.com. even cheaper and haggled for a little more savings.
