"David is a master craftsman. He repaired and refinished our 100+ years old hardwood floors and made them look like new again. He had to patch and install new flooring in some areas, and was able to make a perfect match. We are thrilled with the results; the floors are absolutely gorgeous. We only wish we had worked with him sooner! David is wonderful to work with; he is friendly and professional, an incredibly hard worker and was quick to answer any communications. We can't recommend him highly enough!"

"Nicolas and his assistant took a 55 year old hardwood floor, which had paint, stains, and damage and they spent a week making it look very, very nice. Anyone with an old, damaged wood floor cannot expect it to look brand new. However Nicolas can bring out the character of the wood floor and so that is looks warm and homey. He and his assistant were patient, kind, and collaborative. If I refinish any more wood floors, I will call Nicolas. His price was similar to other companies and it was not too much more than installing carpet. We are happy that we had him do this job. By the way, if you are using an oil based finish, it is a good idea to let it cure for about two weeks. With the week for the work of refinishing, this is a three week job. But if you can make your floor available for that amount of time, you will have a durable, very pretty floor, ready for the next 20 years of use."

"Jesus is a very experienced floor refinisher - licensed and insured! He communicates well when encountering an unforseen problem and repaired a few boards not originally noted! Jesus and Juan kept a clean workplace and masked off areas not being sanded as well as built-in cabinets! I would and will heartily refer Alameda Floor Refinishing to anyone who needs their floors done!!! Thanks, Jesus and Juan!!"

"Floor Pros did impressive work on a very challenging job for us. The job entailed refinishing our 100-year old living room, dining room and entry floors, replacing our upstairs hall floor which had been badly damaged during a remodel and refinishing our mahogany stairs and adding new risers to cover the gaps between the old risers and the treds. Mark Velez of Floor Pros really stood out from the other floor companies by being responsive to the unique issues of our floors and willing to problem-solve to find the best solution. The results exceeded our hopes, thanks to his skilled crew. The new hall floor was beautifully laid, with a border to match the existing floor. With Mark’s input, we decided to use a clear finish on the steps to help the mahogany (which tends to stain red) blend better with the lightly stained (pecan color) oak floors. Mark recommended heartwood white oak for the new risers, also with a clear finish, and the result was a perfect blend of the different woods. The new treds were installed with such precision that they virtually eliminated the chorus of squeaks we had been living with. We opted to have 2 coats of the Bona Commercial High Traffic finish and have been very pleased with it. Mark and his crew get top marks for customer communication, problem-solving and performance. We would certainly use Floor Pros again and would recommend them."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Albany, CA

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.

Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.

Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
