Borja’s Flooring is exceptional!
Without a doubt, Paul and his Borja Flooring team is top class: speed of service, personal customer service, affordable pricing, and quality flooring!
Not only is their service prompt, work high-quality, and craftsmanship second to none, Paul’s personal customer service skills makes him the greatest choice for your flooring needs. Paul was able to walk me through the process of choosing what type of floor would serve me best, how long the process would take, and how best to choose the correct colors based on grain direction, floor size, etc based on my specific interior. He also was able to quickly get a quote to me and work with me for what scope of work would be best for me and my budget.
Paul stops at nothing to ensure that you’re satisfied with your installation. He sends picture updates of the work, does status checks to ensure it’s looking good so far for you, and responds quickly to any of your questions.
He is also connected to other quality service professionals and was able to refer me to other work I needed around my home like painting.
The results speak floor themselves! I love my new carpet free transformed home with squeak free stairs and beautiful 2nd floor!
Overall, I couldn’t be happier. The flooring is beautiful, solid and squeak free. The service was fantastic, the price was affordable, and Paul is excellent to work with. A+ across the board.

I had a more old fashioned style reception area office that was very outdated and needed a burst of freshness and Lisa provided just that.
Lisa was a pleasure to work with and had that fresh inspiration that I had been lacking and also worked well with with a few of my own ideas to give it a more personal touch to create a more exciting modern, fresh, updated look. Luv it!
I now love my new reception office and this in turn has brought me more business.
I get complimented on my new decor all the time. Thank you Lisa
