Get matched with top wood flooring refinish pros in Palo Alto, CA

"We suffered water damage to the hickory floor in our home after the storms of January & February 2023. We contacted Clark’s Hardwood Floors, Inc. for help. We were very happy with Clark’s through all phases of refinishing, from the initial estimate through job completion. Their estimate was significantly lower than a competitor’s bid, their office staff was delightful to deal with, and their refinishing crew was superb. Our refinishing crew was Jorge (lead) and Nidiro. Jorge let us know exactly what to expect and when, which helped us plan our own activities around the job. They used the “atomic dust-free system” to sand off the old finish. It really was dust free! They were thorough and meticulous in everything they did. And, although the old finish was removed completely along baseboards and in every nook and cranny, our baseboards were not even nicked! Every flaw in the floor was meticulously addressed. These guys were excellent craftsmen! Because we had had issues in front of the kitchen sink, at Larry Moreno’s suggestion the new finish was completed with Traffic Commercial Grade polyurethane. The result was stunning! Our hickory floor looks better than ever before! We are thrilled with the results! All our interactions with Clark’s have been excellent! We recommend them highly!"

"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!"

"Jesus did an outstanding job to a floor that had many deep set stains to the wood. He was able to sand it thoroughly before applying a darker stain in order to hide any of the existing previous damage. He made many other repairs to areas that needed attention. He has fair pricing and works well with the property owners who are out of state and a local realtor during every stage of the work. Here are some photos showing the finished product. I highly recommend his company."

"I hired Barakatt to refinish about 1800 sq ft of wood floor (some maple and some southern yellow pine). I chose him out of 4 bids because he was clearly more knowledgeable than the other contractors. He understands wood and how it responds to temperature and humidity. He replaced some maple boards in the kitchen which had been subject to water damage - the area now looks perfect. Rich and his crew did an excellent job of sanding and cleaning with great attention to detail. Rich is a perfectionist and made sure that the minimum amount of wood was removed to return the floors to the best possible condition. He applied 4 coats of high quality polyurethane varnish for a beautiful finish. He also uses a sophisticated dust collection system, so no dust needs to be removed following the work. I would recommend him without hesitation. My floors will now last a long time."

"J. Prescott Flooring did an excellent and timely stall on my living room. I have also personally seen other examples of his more customized hardwood installations that are very beautiful. I highly recommend his services!"

"Professional. Takes care and pride in his work. Came back later to see if everything was ok. Was a pleasure to work with someone who took such an interest in the quality of the job performed. Oh and by the way, the floors turned out beautiful!"

"You will not find a more experienced & talented floor contractor. Knows his business inside out; confident; detail oriented; outstanding skills; hard worker; intelligent and friendly; deep industry knowledge including current issues/trends/equipment/hardwoods and vendors/contractors in this business. Very competitive pricing; also found sales for the wood flooring we wanted; used the top grade wood & mill for our project; discovered issues with our subflooring and was able to resolve them quickly and completely; his estimate time for completion of our project was right on the mark; Would not use anyone else should I have flooring needs in the future. I feel fortunate to have found Rich. Our new flooring is amazing!"

"Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been installed (NOT by Oak Wood Floors! looks like the previous owner did a self-install). The solid maple flooring was cupped and the seams between boards was badly spaced. When Phil's team finished, all the cupping was gone an d the spacing looked so much better. Now, the floors look fabulous! Highly recommend them."

"Excellent service on a very short notice with a wonderful refinished floor."

"I had already visited 3 hardwood floor businesses, and still wasn’t sure what kind of floor I desired and didn’t receive much help. I had read reviews on all 3 companies. I went back on Yelp and read about 5 star flooring. The reviews were very impressive, almost too good to be true, so I decided to make a visit. The owner of the business, Joe, was there when I arrived. He was very welcoming and listened to my concerns about what I expected in my new wood. He then walked me over to the bamboo wood and I absolutely fell in love with it. He sent out an estimator the next day and got back to me within a few days with a bid. Truth be told, I was shocked to see how reasonable it was, compared to my other bid. After the wood came in his crew started work right away. These 3 men were very professional, answered any questions I had during the process with patience, worked very long hours and left everything tidy when they left. They did a beautiful job with the installation. One thing I would like to add is there was minor damage to an area of the house and I emailed Joe about it. He came out to the house right away and had it repaired the same day. I am very happy with 5 Star Flooring, and would definitely recommend them. I encourage everyone to get their 3 bids in, then save the best for last “5 Star Flooring.” You won’t be disappointed."
