Improve the look in your home and increase its value!

It’s time to make some improvements/changes in your home. A simple cost effective way to improve the look and increase the value of your home is with hardwood flooring.  Here’s an example of how we at  Greg Garber Hardwood Floors did that to this beautiful home in Pacific Palisades.

These Pacific Palisades homeowners realized their marble floors, while still beautiful, were outdated and made the decision to change to hardwood flooring.  They wanted the job done right and called us.  Before installing the new flooring we first demo the existing marble flooring and mad sure the sub floor was in the right condition to install the new hardwood flooring.

Once demolition was completed Garrison Du Bois Isabelle was installed throughout the house. See for yourself in the before and after pictures how beautiful the result.
