**★★★★★ — C Hill, Aug. 2023**

> Solana Flooring did an expert installation of Mamre Cascades oak throughout my home five years ago. To prepare, they made sure the surface was perfectly level, which meant grinding the 1968 cement slab in a few spots. Their thoroughness so impressed my general contractor, he told me he wished they worked for HIM!
>
> For some recent home repairs, painters had used blue 3M masking tape to tape Ram Board down throughout, to protect the wood floor.  Weeks later, when the Ram Board was finally removed, I could see stripes of of sticky tape residue on my lovely wood floor. Aargh!! I tried several home methods, but it just would not come off. I didn’t want to risk damaging the floor with steel wool. So I called Solana Flooring. The owner, Mik, came over that very day to take a look. The next day, two of his workers arrived, inspected the areas, and applied a specialized, professional oil product, rubbing the areas with a soft cloth. Every bit of the adhesive is gone, and my floor looks great.
>
> Professional, personalized installation and floor care – that’s Solana Flooring.

**★★★★★ — User, May 2017**

> Dave and Whitney know quality flooring when they see it!  We have become their go to product for their residential and commercial jobs!!

**★★★★★ — Ryan Lee, March 2017**

> Beautiful showroom!, great selection! Dave has over 25 years of experience in the business, he offers a wealth of knowledge, experience and professionalism that is unmatched in the flooring industry.”

**★★★★★ — Ercole Salinaro Photography, Jan. 2017**

> As an Architectural Photographer I pay attention to every detail in projects that I shoot, and all of the work I have seen from Solana Flooring shows that, they truly care about the details. You will be in good hands working with them.

**Comment from Solana Flooring:**

> Thank you Ercole
> We look forward to working with you more in the coming years

**★★★★★ — Chereskin Architecture, Dec. 2016**

> I am an architect, so I have worked with Dave in two capacities.  First, he installed simulated wood vinyl flooring for a client, working off of floor plans that our office generated.  The communication was great and the finished product spectacular.
>
> Second, I hired Dave to install carpet tiles in my office.  This was a difficult installation due to an irregular floor plan and the need to work around existing office furniture and equipment.  Again, the job turned out great.  Dave even refunded me a couple hundred dollars because I moved some of the furniture myself.  When is the last time you received a refund from a contractor?  I highly recommend Solana Flooring.

**★★★★★ — RESTORATION PLUS INC, Dec. 2016**

> These guys know their flooring and work very hard to make every client happy. As a General Contractor I have worked with Dave several times and refer him to our clients, he is very organised and detail oriented which is what you want in a flooring contractor.  The Solana Beach Flooring showroom is beautiful with a great selection of carpet, laminate and wood flooring they also have some very nice 'Luxury vinyl plank' options that are very popular right now.

**★★★★★ — Christie Kramer-LeVander, Nov. 2016**

> Thank you Dave for helping me find flooring that blended well with the tile floors in the hall! You have a good eye and know flooring. Amazing the choices, they have!!  The installers were quick, did a great job and left the place very clean. As a Realtor it is important to have a good Flooring company to recommend. My clients thank me afterwards for recommending Solana Flooring.

**Comment from Solana Flooring:**

> Thank you Christie. It is a pleasure working with you and your clients too.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what type wood 7 COLOR IS FLOORING** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi mcderha,
"Summit Peak Estates, Cascades. 7.5" Oak Hardwood Floor."
As per the picture's description. If you inquire more information, we would be more than happy to oblige.

**Q: Creative fixes for door dilemma?** *(in Laundry Room)*

My house was built in 1994, apparently by someone who didn't give much thought to how the laundry room would function. We're planning to sell the house soon and I'm looking for a possible solution.  To be code, the garage door is supposed to open in. The laundry room door also opens in. After a few pinched fingers, we went with a temporary solution of a storm door that opens into the garage.  But it's still a really tight laundry room, especially as the wall oven goes into it. I love the idea of a pocket door to go behind the fridge, but it's more work than we want to take on, and there's really no place to move that light switch anyway.  A barn door going over the oven might work, but can it slide over the oven handle and still actually fit the door frame? The washing machine is loud. A barn door would be the easiest and cheapest solution, but I don't know if it will slide out over the handles and then slide back into the door. 
There's also really nowhere else in the house to relocate the laundry room and just convert this into a mudroom.  Thanks in advance!

A: Quick fix:
A Mr. Clean Eraser to restore the White on the screen door and a fresh coat of paint to any worn trim. 
@BeverlyFLADeziner also made a great suggestion to change the light fixture.
With intentions to sell in the near future, it's best to decide if the space in question is functional for its intended propose. In your case, it's an architectural awkwardness rather than a design dilemma. 
Try to approach the space with the eye of a potential buyer. Are the washer and dryer units included in the sale of the house? Could the space use a face lift by upgrading storage space, wall paint and trim refresh?

**Q: Need Help with My Guest Room** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I need your advice in selecting wallpaper for my guest room, curtains, rugs, lightining and any wall treatment do you suggest. Also I need your help what type of treatment I can use for showen column because It make alot of Disturbance for eyes.

A: Another thing to note is the shadows that the existing lighting provides. Adding additional lighting that points up and out will help lengthen the height of the space.

**Q: did you use Coretec on the stair treads and risers?** *(in Photo Questions)*

If you installed LVT on the stairs, what was the underlayment?  we have plywood risers - can the coretec be installed on plywood?

A: Hello @carolwelsh, 
COREtec can be installed over plywood. However, it is recommend to review the product warranty and compare it to the job at hand.  
The stairs in the photo above were glued down without underlayment. 
Let us know if you have any other questions!

**Q: What color of cortec is this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Sally Mann, thanks for asking. The color of this COREtec is Blackstone Oak.

**Q: Color** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you know which color this Tuftex rug is? Thanks

A: @detective25, The style of this @Tuftex Carpets of California carpet is Mallorca. As far as the color goes, we believe it to be Hopeful Tan. 
Hope this information helps you on your project journey!
\- @Solana Flooring
