A properly installed wood floors will last the lifetime of your home, and can be re-sanded and stained to update a decorating scheme.

All employees are given an Apprentice Notebook and it is thoroughly reviewed to ensure that our employees meet specific benchmarks. Boatright Hardwood Floors does not employe subcontractors. Most poured slabs are very uneven with dips and bumps that could interfere with a good installation.
The Janka (or side) hardness test measures the force required to embed a.444-inch steel ball to half its diameter in wood. It is one of the best measures of the ability of a wood species to withstand denting and wear. By the same token, it also is a good indicator of how hard or easy a species is to saw or nail.

We selected Boatright for a very difficult repair project and are extremely pleased. The project involved extensive subfloor preparation and removal/replacement of solid oak flooring in two large areas in the house. In particular, the staff did a great job of cutting out and putting down new wood next to the wood edge of a kitchen island and cabinetry, getting as close as possible without damage. Also, the long seams between where new wood was installed and existing wood remained are invisible. The staircase work was meticulous. Notably, we worked closely with staff on selection of the color

We recently installed solid hardwood oak flooring with Boatright Hardwood Floors. We had a very positive experience working with their team. Both Sam Boatright and Greg were extremely experienced and knowledgeable about wood floor installation. We selected Boatright Hardwood Floors because of their years of experience working with solid oak flooring. We were also pleased to know that our flooring would not be subcontracted. Many floor providers subcontract the floor installation. Boatright Hardwood Floors employs their installers and many members of their team have worked together for decades

These guys are horrible. They took my $$ as a deposit for a job that was scheduled out 2 months in advance (due to closing in a new home). 5 days after giving the deposit the deal on the home fell apart - I called boatright to get a refund and they refused to cough it up saying they had already bought supplies. Seriously??? Funny how when my lawyer contacted them there was a change in their story and I got my $$ back (less $1k in legal fees).

It is a rarity to find a flooring company (any company really) that is almost unanimously respected by clients, but such is the case with Boatright Hardwood Floors in Austin, TX. I want to thank Sam, Greg & the team for the thorough removal, meticulous preparation and installation of our hardwood floors. I would absolutely recommend Boatright Hardwood Floors for quality wood flooring to Central Texas. - Brian & Maria

Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where Julie Roberts walks into the store on Rodeo drive and they wouldn't help her? Yeah. That is this place. I would give zero stars if I could.
Just wanted to save some time for anyone looking for new floors and not wanting to pay inflated prices:
I stopped by Boatright Floors to look for some new flooring. We had a minor flood in our home and are getting all of our wood flooring replaced. I told the employee there that I was working with an insurance company to replace the floors, he said that I would probably not be able to afford their floors because

We just moved to Austin, Steiner ranch and had the most horrible unprofessional experience with Boatright Hardwood Floors! They took the contract to install hardwood in our house which started in April and continued to stretch it. On Friday, September 2, I was promised by the owner Sam Boatright over the phone that they would be back the following week on Tuesday (after Labor day) to continue work and finish sanding that week downstairs. They never turned up nor did we hear from them. We had to call them yesterday and they turned up for 3 hours. This morning while they were sanding the living

We have known and worked with Boatright Floors and the owner, Sam, for over 10 years. He and his staff have always been professional and very efficient in the jobs they have done for us at Austin Doctors Building. Sam works with commercial as well as residential. I would highly recommend Boatright Floors and know you would be pleased.

Our family has known and used the family-owned Boatright Hardwood Floors for years. Firstly, the knowledgeable sales staff helped guide us along and worked easily with our price point and style....(so many good looking choices)I do believe that the wood floor we put in the house in north austin helped sell the house. .......and in the end, from choosing the wood, to installation, to follow through , the wood floor was a guaranteed investment for us

Having lived in central Austin, we'd heard about Boatright Floors for years, as all of our neighbors had their floors done by Boatright, and the consensus was that Boatright was *the* place for fine floors. We moved to northwest Austin and had a major remodel involving all new floors. Frankly, the Yelp reviews on Boatright had me concerned, but given that all of our neighbors used them, we checked out their store. Our experience with Boatright was fabulous. Their depth of knowledge about floors and flooring options was amazing. They assisted us in selecting the perfect floor. Their installation

About 6 years ago, we had the Boatright folks install our wood floor downstairs and on our steps. They did an amazing job with that installation, and turned it around in exactly the time they quoted to us. We absolutely love the floor they installed for us! But what I believe really sets them apart is last week when we called them to help us with a portion of our steps that had split due to heavy traffic. The Boatright team scheduled around our busy schedule to come out and repair it for us! They were more than willing to stand behind their work and make sure we were completely satisfied with their

Boatright floors completely refinished the hardwood floors in our home (approximately 1200 sq. feet). The wood was sanded down to bare wood, re-stained, and coated with polyurethane (from our original waxed finish). The floors are beautiful, the workmen were professional and we had not one problem during the whole process.
About two years after that work we decided to build a 12'x12' addition on to our dining room. Sam assured me that they could join the new wood floor to the old with no problem. He was exactly right. The new addition floor looks great, blends perfectly with the old and without

This is a long-term review, as I have been using Boatright Floors for over 7 years now. I recently had Boatright repair some water damage (obviously not their fault) to existing floors originally installed by Boatright in 2007. The repairs are undetectable even if you know where to look. A perfect match on color and finish. Service was prompt and the price quite reasonable. I'm a happy camper!
Boatright installed floors in three of rooms, and refinished three other rooms as part of a major remodel in 2007. They expertly matched the existing wood, and even managed to correct or conceal mistakes

Boatright Hardwood floors has been my go-to flooring company for years. Their extensive knowledge and expert installation is matched only by their enormous selection of fine woods in their showroom. Their work is consistent and their prices are competitive. Two examples of Boatright's excellent service come to mind: In the store not long ago, Sam Boatright listened to what I need and gave me a great tutorial on the appropriate species of wood to chose. I asked about stain and he told me it will be whatever I want. They lay the wood and apply samples of stain until I approve. This how custom service

I used Boatright Hardwood Floors recently and was very very pleased. After dealing with other flooring companies who either didn't show up or were unable to finish jobs, I called Boatright. They exceeded my expectations on service and price. They offered up very helpful suggestions and went about work in an efficient and professional way. They did more than what I was expecting and completed the job in an extremely timely manner. They stuck to their price estimate that was well-within my budget and did not charge a penny more for their expert service.
I will definitely use them again.

We were relocating to downtown Austin from the suburbs and had a short window of opportunity to get the floors refinished before we moved in. Boatright was able to have a crew there immediately after the previous owners had vacated. They also FINISHED the job ON TIME. The downstairs is all walnut and the completed floors were truly some of the most beautiful I have seen. The only thing that kept this from being a perfect experience is that the clear finish put on top of the stain did not hold up well to our two Labrador Retrievers' toenails. We found out that there was a more resilient clear coat

I can't understand the negative reviews about Boatright Hardwood Floors. We started out in central Austin where everyone in the neighborhood raved about Boatright and the wonderful work they do. When we were remodeling our ranch home in northwest Travis County, we visited many flooring places, and I was concerned about the negative reviews for Boatright. However, my husband knew of their work first hand, so we checked Boatright out. They are simply wonderful. They know their products, they're extremely accommodating, and their work is sublime.

Haha after reading all the other reviews, I'm glad I couldn't even get these guys to come out for a bid!
1. Left me a voicemail to let me know they were canceling (got it after I already left work to meet them)
2. Rescheduled, my husband was still in his PJs when they arrived and they LEFT before he could get to the door. No phone call - they later told me they guessed they had the wrong house?
3. I ask them to call my husband to schedule since I'm out of town, they never call
4. I check yelp before trying to schedule for the FOURTH time, see reviews.
Bye! How is this place even

I wish that there was a ZERO option! They charged me $250 as a deposit and when no work was done they refused to return my deposit!!! They basically charged me $250 for an hourly worker to come here for an hour and give me a BID!!! Please do not use them. There are honest people out there who do wonderful work. Don't let them scare you into giving them money.
