"This guy I the best. Worth every penny. My floors had holes and were shaking. My mom is in a wheel chair so this is not acceptable. Not only did he reinforce and level the floor he also recommended the right type of flooring. He truly went above and beyond. I would give him 10 stars it I could. ✨️"

"I was very lucky to find out Eagle View Remodeling company's Project Manager, Amir, as my contractor to repair my house floor, destroyed by water leakage. Amir was very professional and knowledgeable. With his help, we chose not an expensive but a good-quality flooring material. And the installation price was below the average price. Besides, Amir dealt with insurance, and the insurance covered all my expenses. If you want a professional and not greedy contractor, I do recommend Amir of Eagle View Remodeling Company.

"Monteros Hardwood Flooring did an excellent job of sanding and refinishing my wood floor. Javier and his crew are professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and on time. I have had my floor done before by other local companies, but in my opinion Monteros does a superior job for less. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!"

"It took a long time but it is done. I had some problems with them but they did satisfy me as the customer. There were some spots on the floor that should have not been there. So they ended up giving me a discount, it was a $30000 job and they gave me a 900 discount for the spots on the floor so I don't know how to rate them. The floor is 99% perfect. There was only a 1% I was unhappy with and am still unhappy with. But I decided to settle with them because I didn't want to move out all of my furniture again and have them redo the floor. It's really a big hassle. I don't want to give them a bad mark but I just can't give them a 10. 

They were very professional so I have to admire that. I would use them again for carpet but probably not for oak flooring."

"Top notch work. I'm a homeowner building in Burbank. I received 4 other estimates and spoke to many people. I needed 150 sheets of drywall installed and finished- this was by far the most drywall I ever needed. After meeting Ciro, I felt comfortable and had a very positive feeling about his character. He quoted a fair price and we finalized the job that day. They did a level 5 finish in the living room, kitchen and baths. It's the first time I ever had level 5- the walls are perfectly smooth from floor to ceiling. I'm very happy with the results. Thank you Ciro."

"I did a bathroom remodel which included a new vanity, countertop, bathtub, tile, lighting, plumbing, and flooring. Joe and his team did an amazing job. They are reliable, detail oriented, and provide great customer service. The project ended up being a perfect combination of my personal tastes and Joe's professional input. He even custom made a large vanity mirror when I was unable to find one to fit. I would definitely recommend Kincaid Development."

"the work was well done by Pieter's associate and Pieter was helpful in suggesting and ordering very nice flooring at a moderate price for an area about 400 sq ft. My only beef is that he has not responded to several requests for a copy of his invoice which is needed for tax purposes. Still chasing that up."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Santa Barbara, 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.
