Get matched with top wood flooring refinish pros in San Gabriel, CA

"They completed the job, needed to touch up spots which resulted in needing to redo the entire job. If you have the ability to watch them, you will get a good product. We were busy moving and couldn't do this which was our first lesson learned and I think it would be true for almost anyone you hire for a project; you must intently watch to ensure they are meeting your standard. However, if you are unhappy this team will work with you on correcting the issue which they did, and the end results were very good."

"Great quality of work"

"Work took 1 day, but floors remained wet, sticky, streaky, and discolored for weeks, requiring a return visit and never fully curing as promised. I hired this provider to lightly sand and restore specialty DuChâteau Terra Collection Panga European ash hardwood floors (wire-brushed) using an oil finish, as clearly stated in the written contract and text messages. Preserving the original wire-brushed texture was a key requirement. After completion, the floors immediately showed serious issues: they remained sticky for an extended period, scuffed extremely easily, transferred pigment onto socks and clothing, and significant lost color within weeks. I later learned the contractor applied a wax-based finish instead of the agreed oil finish rubio monocoat, without my consent. In addition, stain was splashed onto baseboards and kitchen cabinetry, which were not properly masked or protected during the work and are now visibly marked. When I raised concerns, the contractor provided inconsistent explanations (including stating oil finishes are illegal in California), blamed the dark color choice, and offered conflicting resolutions first stating he would fix the issue at no cost, then requesting additional payment, and later offering a refund only if I signed a release of liability. Multiple independent flooring professionals have since confirmed the wax application was inappropriate for this flooring and that remediation now requires aggressive sanding, with a high risk of permanent loss of the wire-brushed texture. Several companies initially declined the job due to wax contamination. Only half of the home was refinished, creating a risk that the repaired flooring may never match the untouched original floors. I attempted to resolve this directly and professionally, but due to the extent of damage and lack of trust, I filed a formal complaint with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). "

"I am grateful for Scott Schneider of Olde Tyme Floor Company for solving a mystery! I have just had engineered wood flooring installed in my home, (by a general contractor, not a specialized flooring contractor like Scott - mistake #1!) and couldn't understand why I didn't like the finished result!!! So I reached out to Olde Tyme to refinish my BRAND NEW FLOORS (I know - crazy!) Scott immediately diagnosed the problem and, thankfully, it was fixable! - The installer that I used (not Scott) didn't properly clean up after installation, which left a very visible and unsightly gluey "haze" - a film over the entire project, which wouldn't come off with regular wood-floor cleaner. There were even foot prints (presumably glue) from the installers' shoes! Scott very kindly, on his off hours, detailed the steps I needed to take to fix the problem - namely, insisting that the original installer return and properly clean the entire floor. ***I would absolutely hire Olde Tyme Floor Co.to install any future floors. Scott is solid and above board (no pun intended) is really communicative and personable and really knows his business! Oh, how I wish I used Olde Tyme Floor Co.!!!

"Fast, fair price, and great communication!"

"BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP!! I had several contractors tell me these 100 year old wood floors could not be restored, and the only option would be to cover them up, which would have cost thousands more. In two and a half days Javier, and his crew completely restored the hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room and den. They look brand new and I could not be happier. Javier, I'm looking forward to the new kitchen and laundry room flooring when you're available!"

"I can’t speak highly enough for Mr. Larry! He has replaced and installed new hardwood flooring in four of my rooms in my house and the work is impeccable. He is bery knowledgeable of flooring types and installation methods. I have an older (1927) home so some of the challenges that arose, Mr. Larry was able to address and solve with no problem. Larry and his team made sure to keep the construction debris confined to the construction zone. They cleaned and organized the area before they left each day. Mr. Larry’s team showed up on time and performed the work on schedule. When it’s time to replace the floors in my living room, I will be hiring Mr. Larry again!"

"Victor Jimenez and his company Dynamic Hardwood Flooring are first-rate! I called them to install sheet linoleum in a bathroom, and he showed me that wood-patterned vinyl boards are a much better product at no extra cost. The installation was done on schedule, in 4~5 hours, and it looks beautiful! They did all the cutting outdoors to keep our house free of dust, and cleaned up everything afterward. Finally, I was very happy with their modest bid, and there were never any suggestions that it should change. Victor has the experience (20 years) and skill to get the job done both quickly and well."

"Mr. Bonsignore was professional and helpful throughout. He let me know well ahead of time what to expect and how to prepare for the arrival of the materials. He kept me informed at every step of the way. He arrived on time each day and cleaned up each day after his work and we were never left with a mess. I'm thrilled with the look of my new hardwood floors-- we replaced floors in 3 rooms of our home."

"I hired Harvey Guzman flooring to replace extremely unlevel, cracked tile flooring in my business space, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He gave me a very fair price, provided a quote quickly, and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. I have a very intense work schedule and could only have work done on weekends, and he was more than willing to work with that and made it happen. The job was completed fast, super clean, and the quality of the work is excellent. The new flooring I chose is a perfect fit for the space and completely transformed it. I’m very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend him."
