Our Story
Three Guys. One Standard.
Ruben, Jay, and Dennis — three craftsmen who worked together, raised the bar together, and built a flooring company around a shared commitment to doing things right.
How 3 Floor Guys Began
The name says it all. 3 Floor Guys is literally three guys — Ruben, Jay, and Dennis — who spent years working together in the flooring trade before deciding to do it better on their own terms.
Ruben and his son Dennis had built their craft at a previous flooring company. Jay — a flooring specialist they met along the way — brought deep expertise in finishes, stains, and equipment that completed the picture. Together, they saw the same thing: a trade where shortcuts were common and real craftsmanship was rare.
In 2014, they left to build something better. 3 Floor Guys was founded on a simple principle — that every homeowner deserves the level of care and quality you'd only expect if the owners were doing the work themselves. Which, most of the time, they are.
More than a decade later, that principle hasn't changed. Every floor we touch carries the name of three people who take that seriously.
The Three Guys
Each one a craftsman in his own right. Together, they cover every inch of a flooring project.
Ruben
Co-Founder
Ruben is the master of custom woodwork — transitions, trim, molding, and the detailed installations that most contractors skip or outsource. When a job has a tricky threshold, a complex pattern, or non-standard dimensions, Ruben is who you want.
Specializes in:
- • Custom transitions & trim
- • Hardwood installation
- • Complex pattern work
- • Subfloor preparation
Jay
Co-Founder
Jay is the finishing expert. He works with Bona stains and Pallmann water-based finishes — his knowledge of hardwood floor products is exceptional, and his handling of drum sanders and buffer machines is precise. The quality of a refinishing job lives or dies in the finish; Jay makes sure it lives.
Specializes in:
- • Stain & finish application
- • Drum sander operation
- • Buffer & coat techniques
- • Product knowledge & selection
Dennis
Co-Founder
Dennis is the detail man. He handles edger sanding — the work along walls and corners that the drum sander can't reach — using a Festool rotary palm sander for precision detail work. Plus leveling and the final touches that determine whether a floor looks good or looks perfect. He grew up in the trade alongside Ruben.
Specializes in:
- • Edger sanding & detail work
- • Floor leveling
- • Final finishing touches
- • Quality control & inspection
While each has a specialty, all three install and sand — their skills overlap by design. On any given job, you get the combined expertise of the whole team.
What We Stand For
The principles that separate a good floor job from a great one.
Craftsmanship Over Speed
We don't rush jobs to hit a quota. We take the time to prep properly, sand evenly, and finish cleanly — because that's what makes a floor last.

Every estimate is detailed and written. No surprise charges at the end. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.
Honest Recommendations
We'll tell you if your floors can be refinished instead of replaced, or if a buff & coat is all you need. We don't upsell work that isn't necessary.
