"My kitchen floor was in deplorable condition; David and his team turned it into a floor that looks brand new. He did an amazing job! Not only that, they set up so that not a single speck of wood dust escaped the work area - amazing. Their clean-up, too, was great with nothing for me to do, but return the things removed from the area refinished. This was one of the rare instances of a perfect job."

Customers say: Quality work

"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."

"Gil repaired and refinished our engineered hardwood floors in the first floor of our house. We lived in the upstairs while he did his work and he was flexible with our schedules when we needed to leave the house. His price was reasonable and he is a true pro at working on wood floors.. They look beautiful and we are very happy with the results."

"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."

"They did fabulous work. very knowledgeable about dealing old woods. Excellent craftsmanship and the ability to repair and replace woods. When I was getting different quotes, they were not the most expensive and not the cheapest but the quality was there. They respond right away. I would highly recommend them to anybody who have valuable flooring."

"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."

"I hired H2 hardwood floors to come out and refinish my hardwood floors. There had been an indoor outdoor carpet on the floors. They did an amazing job.They came out the same day to look at the floors and removed the carpet the next day and started sanding my floors I couldnâ t believe the difference from before and after, they were very polite and very thorough! They completed the job in approximately four days! The price was more than reasonable, and I would hire them again in a second. I highly recommend them.!"

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Oakland, 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.
