Phil Gilbert started The Hardwood Giant from scratch, twice.

The Hardwood Giant Co. Founder: Phil Gilbert

He founded the hardwood flooring installation, sand and refinishing company first in Kansas City and earned the respect of Kansas City homeowners. In 2007, he said goodbye to all that, uprooting the business and planting it in Charlotte, N.C.

Now, nearly a decade later, Gilbert has established his hardwood flooring company firmly within the contact lists of Charlotte’s middle to high-end residential clientele.

Phil and his crew did a beautiful job of sanding and restaining our floors. In addition, we had a floor heat vent moved and the hole had to be repaired. They did such a great job that you can’t tell where the hole was. We had the entire downstairs done and it all looks brand new. They did the job while we were away. We came home to a clean and beautiful home. They are trustworthy terrific guys and I recommend them 100%.

We found The Hardwood Giant through an internet search. We read a few great reviews and decided to contact them (Phil). Working with him was seamless. He came to our home to provide an estimate for replacing carpeting in two bedrooms with hardwood, and replacing tile in the laundry room with LVL. He turned around an estimate the next day, and brought us samples for the LVL a couple of days later. Phil was able to schedule the work a week later, and the floors came out better than we could have hoped. Phil's team was able to match the existing hardwood floor, in plank size and stain. The LVL also looks fantastic in our laundry room. We highly recommend The Hardwood Giant!

Great service from Phil and his crew. Phil was super responsive every day, always answered all our questions, helped navigate some challenging situations and get to the best possible result. The crew did a great job installing the floors, and making required adjustments along the way. I’d gladly recommend them for any kind of hardwood flooring job, especially if you’re looking for responsible team.
