Everything!!!! They were supposed to respond to my request for an appraisal. They came by in a timely manner, set up a time a few days later to get started on the job which turned out amazing. Price was within range and due to the condition of the floor it was well worth every penny. My bedroom is an entirely new space and I love it. read more

Daniel and his team were incredible from start to finish. We just purchased the home and wanted to get a couple of quotes before choosing a team to support our project -- Daniel's quote was as competitive, but more importantly, it was comprehensive, detailing the work within the scope (coats of varnish, sanding process...etc.). I also appreciate that he came out to see the house in person to accurately assess the state of the flooring ahead of time. He and his team were thoughtful about keeping the house clean during the project, sealing doors, using dustless sanding equipment, and wiping things down before leaving each night. We have worked with many contractors over the years and appreciate the attention to detail. The final outcome of the project was exactly what we were looking for. It looks like an exact match to the original flooring (no small feat, as it was a sort of grey wash eucalyptus wood). My husband and I are both THRILLED with the outcome and cannot recommend Daniel enough. read more

I had the good fortune of working with Artisan Wood Floor Company, Nathan made the entire process flawless. He delivered on every promise he made! They turned my ugly carpets into beautiful wood floors that make me smile every day. The quality of the work is outstanding, and the value it added to my home is a bonus. I highly recommend this company! read more

After 5 years of pets and kids our floors were in rough shape with oil stains, scratches, and UV damage. I had several highly rated flooring companies bid on the job but no one explained the pros and cons of the work needed better than Daniel. He is very friendly, professional, and answered every question promptly. The floors were well buffed, a few boards were replaced without a noticeable difference, and two coats of Hard Wax Oil were applied to return the durability. The floors are back to new. We are very happy with work, highly recommend Artisan Floors! read more

Daniel and his team installed new flooring in a room in our house, replacing the carpet. The floors had some existing squeaks, and unfortunately those weren't addressed during the installation. After speaking with a few other contractors, I learned that fixing the squeaks during the flooring process would have been relatively straightforward. It seems that in their effort to work quickly, some important steps were skipped. That said, Daniel also refinished the flooring in the rest of our house, and he did a good job on that work. Based on this experience, I wouldn't choose to use their services for new flooring installation again. read more

Daniel and his crew did an outstanding job in refinishing my severely worn hardwood flooring. After replacing damaged planks, they filled cracks, sealed and stained the wood, and completed multiple rounds of sanding and applying protective coatings. They assisted in moving heavy furniture items, in and out, in a manner to carefully protect the floors. Work was completed timely and at a very fair price. My "new" floors now are restored to their initial beauty. I highly recommend Artisan Wood Floors for your flooring needs. read more

We went with Artisan Wood Floors to redo our existing hardwood flooring and the work they did was impeccable! We'd just completed a year long remodel and were at wits end with having workmen in our home by the time it came to having the floors done but the guy's made it a positive experience. Daniel and Daniel (father and son) are professional and as nice as can be! For a small additional fee per item the two Daniels plus assistant, moved our massive sofa and disassembled and moved our new dining room table out to the garage and reassembled and moved them back when the floor was done. They took great care moving the furniture and neither item was damaged in any way which was also true of the part of the house where they were working. It took a week from start to finish that included the entire downstairs along with the upstairs landing and end step caps on our staircase which ended up being almost a perfect match to the new staircase handrails we had installed earlier. The only suggestion I would make is if you're in a small home or condo as we are, consider having a staycation at a nearby hotel while the work is being done. We were there through the initial stripping and prepping of the floors and it would have been easier for us (and for them) to have been out of the house through the entire process. That said, if it's a room or area in a larger home you don't need access to, even as a pass through to other parts of the house, then this suggestion doesn't apply. In summary, we couldn't be happier with the finished results and the experience we had with Artisan Wood Floors. If you find their estimate is higher than elsewhere it's only because their workmanship and skill is superior. You're getting the best with this company! Believe the reviews! read more

Daniel and his crew were the most respectful, honest, easy home professionals we've ever worked with. And we've owned our home for 30 years. What a relief that they did exactly what they said they'd do (and more!) and came in on time and budget. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. Do yourself a favor for worry free new amazing floors. Daniel has worked teaching others to do this for years. He's the expert of the experts. read more

From beginning to end, Artisan Wood Floors was great. Showed up on time to provide an estimate, gave recommendations after inspecting the existing floors and used an iPad to capture all of the needs and recommendations. The quote came in a timely manner, was similar to other quotes, and payment was easy online. The work was done in a timely manner. I was surprised at how little dust was created. Floors came out very well. They even came back and fixed some scratches that we made after moving the furniture back in. After a bad experience with another floor contractor, I would highly recommend Artisan Wood Floors! read more

We called Daniel for a quote shortly after closing on a new home, and we were delighted to find him personable, quick to respond and offered a good price for his work. The very next morning, he squeezed in a visit to inspect and price the work needed, and was able to come out and start on the job shortly thereafter, helping us stick to our timeline (while many other floor professionals couldn't even bother to return my call). Most of all we were very pleased with the high quality of his work, he refinished all of the maple and douglas fir flooring in our home in 5 days. Very friendly and straightforward to work with, with beautiful results! read more

I do not recommend this guy. I called him to get a quote. Sent him a video of my floors and called and texted him for two weeks trying to get him to come to my home to get a quote. He was unresponsive and never answered me. There was no reason for him to not respond. It was as if my business was unwanted. I have never experienced trying to work we it's a business that ignored you. Not a good way to be, regardless of the quality of work! read more

We worked with Daniel on repairing our ugly entry and landing that used to be carpeted Douglas Fir that was painted over by previous tenants. BARF. But Daniel completely transformed our entire entry way! The process was really quick and easy with Daniel. He was very professional, easy to plan and communicate with, and was respectful of our time and very prompt. He did a beautiful job with our stairs and we are very happy with the red oak hardwood he installed. We'd most definitely use Daniel's services in the future! Thank you! read more

Daniel A and his crew did a great job on our floors. They brought back to life (beautiful color) a dark floor.

Look no further. This is the company to call for your hardwood floors. I have the original hardwood floors in my rental unit. The floors had some deep gouges that needed repair. We called Artisan Wood Floors and within the week our floors were STUNNING! They suggested the perfect solution given the age and amount of wood we had remaining. They are trustworthy and of their word. Super careful and very clean! They are family owned and have a wealth of knowledge about hardwood floors which is paramount when it comes to suggesting solutions and color matching. Once I saw how beautiful the two bedroom floors looked, I had them do the living room floors too. I will absolutely higher them for our other unit. I'm 100% satisfied! read more

Artisan Wood Floors did an extraordinary job refinishing my floors. My 1950s home had gorgeous original inlay floors, but they had been so torn up from wear and tear! Spots even looked bleached, not to mention the cat who liked to pee on the floor. Mr. Acosta showed up the next day after I called to provide an estimate, and started quickly the next week. He spent several hours sanding the floor, applying tint to exactly match the hallway floors (which I did not re-do) and applying a semi-gloss finish. Though he could have rushed the job to complete it in a couple of days, his extraordinary eye for detail meant that he showed up for several days to re-buff a couple spots and re-apply finishes. I could not be happier with the results. My living room now has a lovely, sparkling look and his promptness, courtesy, ​and professionalism should be commended. read more

This business is clearly five stars in every category. First, you are working directly with the business owner Daniel. Daniel's employees are his sons, therefore you have well trained skilled and trusted employees. Daniel is very meticulous about his craft and therefore you canExpect that he will not attempt to cut corners. We recently contracted Daniel to refinish our kitchen floors which have not been been refinished for 19 years. Additionally, we excepted his bid to install wood floors in our basement and the downstairs bedroom. The new floor install is on a concrete slab in the foothills of Oakland on the Hayward fault line. Therefore, we have experienced foundation settling. David gave us a very fair price quote but more importantly, educated us on what was needed and how he was going to do this. He replaced our horrible old carpet downstairs and installed a floating wood floor which is fabulous. Most notably, the detail in which he used to install the moldings and cut the threshold to separate the various rooms. Daniel did this while we were on a two-week vacation and I saw him come to work every day on our ring doorbell early and leave late. Daniel went above the call of duty when he noticed that we would need an electrician to cut into the concrete floor to run a power cord. He arranged for an electrician to come in and cut into the concrete, all while we were out of town and I had no interaction! The finished product is fabulous and I recommend him. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. read more

I love the beautiful eucalyptus hardwood floors that Daniel installed at my home. He did an amazing job! He was very professional and paid great attention to detail. He took the time to insure I was prepared with the wood and that I understood the process. He did exactly what he said he would do and more. He worked with me around my furniture and was considerate of my home. He took the time to make craft around difficult areas. He completely transformed my home. Thank you Daniel! I love my floors. They are stunning. read more

We needed to have a sunken living room raised, and a curved staircase upgraded with hardwood and wrought iron. Daniel Acosta did an excellent job for us. He was able to do everything. He was very professional and we were very happy with the job he did. The sign of an excellent company, is one that will come back, even after they have been paid. We had a tiny squeak in one of the floorboards and he was willing to come back and fix it without any hesitation. I recommend him highly. And I am very picky. read more

I can not say enough how pleased I am with the company and my floors. They are a family owned business with father and two sons working side by side. After being defeated by finding more than we could handle with the original hardwood floors under the carpet I called Daniel to see what he could do. I had recieved several other quotes but didn't feel totally happy with the interactions. I wanted to the floors done as soon as possible since I couldn't fully move in until they were done. He agreed to come out that afternoon. He provided me with a fair quote and agreed to dispose of all the carpet we had ripped out ourselves. This was a huge relief and much appreciated. He provided his expert advice all throughout and helped us pick the perfect stain. The floors look and feel amazing. I could not be happier with the whole experience! read more

Daniel is clearly a craftsman that takes pride in his work and he did an incredible jobs on our floors. We bought a house that had carpet or tile over hardwood floors throughout. When we removed everything to expose the floors they did not look great and I wasn't sure if they could be refinished but when Daniel saw them he was confident he could bring them back to life and sure enough he was totally right. The refinished floor looks amazing. It's completely unrecognizable. He also built us a handrail and put down new flooring and stairs in a laundry room that's being converting into an office. Everything came out terrific. He is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his work and I would highly recommend him. read more

Daniel's work and professionalism is EXCEPTIONAL. He and his crew are VERY neat and their work is the BEST in hardwood floor installation. From start to finish the job was on schedule, very clean and neat. His work is so PRECISE... the best hardwood installation we've encountered with special detail to hiding cords, stair work and special edge accents. I would hire him again for additional jobs!!! read more

I don't know how good his work is. After he came out to measure and I told him my budget he never got back to me. I called twice and he kept saying he would get back to me. I waited a week, called today and I basically never got an estimate because 10k was too small of a budget. Instead of being upfront he just ignored me and then laughed when I called today. I don't think 10k is a tiny budget. So unless you have the huge budget he desires don't even waste your time. read more

For any reading this pressed for time, or not into long, positive reviews, I'll get to the point here: If you hire Artisan Wood Floors to refinish your floors you'll not have a single regret when the job is done, even if you fish around to try and find one. That was my experience, at least. We hired Daniel to refinish our living room and dining room floors, which had been hiding under carpeting for likely decades. The wood thankfully turned out to be in excellent condition, (maybe in part preserved by the carpet) but appearance-wise they were in pretty desperate shape. In four workdays Daniel and his team took our situation from there, all the way to showroom. Again, when it comes to the finished product, I can't come up with a con when it comes to this company. But below are a few other qualities about Artisan that didn't go unnoticed. 1. They are quick. It took Daniel and his team four workdays to complete two good-sized rooms. I chose to have the floors refinished with oil-based, but had we used water-based stain and poly, with which the dry time is quicker, I'm sure they would've gotten the job done even faster. 2. They are neat. I mean what I say here. First, they sealed off every possible pathway a single bit of dust could take to get out of the work area, and within the work area itself it was nearly as clean, thanks to the use of a very effective dust suction system. By the end of the prep for both floors they had collected through this setup a 40-pound bag of sawdust outside. And yet inside the house it was nearly spotless, from start to finish. 3. They are experienced. I was home for the four days it took for Artisan to complete this project, and to learn a thing or two I often watched them work. I asked more than a few questions in that time as well. When I met Daniel for the home estimate, in talking with him it quickly became clear he knew what he was talking about. Watching Daniel and his team work it became obvious they knew what the were doing. Seeing the finished product--our floors brought back to beautiful life--proved the company has the right name. read more

We had seen Daniel's work prior to hiring him to install our hardwood floors. The whole process was so easy and Daniel kept us informed all along the way. About a week prior to the installation he delivered the wood. They arrived on time, moved our large furniture and did a fantastic job on the floors. Upon completion they returned the furniture and Daniel sent us a couple of videos on caring for our new floors. They are very professional and detailed oriented. They are my go to for any flooring needs. I would highly recommend for any flooring job. read more

Daniel was recommended to us by someone who is very knowledgeable and spent their career in the hardwood floor industry. We were told he is a "craftsman and meticulous when it comes to his work." He is all that and more! He came out and gave us a fair bid and did an amazing job!! We couldn't happier - the floors to our 1930's house look like they were just installed. Go with Daniel & his team - you will be SO glad you did. read more

In our search for a company to refinish the wood floors of our 1920,s Spanish home, we were referred by Home Advisor to Artisan Wood Floors. The owner, Mr. Acosta, surpassed even our highest expectations. What a craftsman! And such care and attention to details. Mr. Acosta was prompt, professional, and trustworthy from beginning to end. He was the ONLY wood floor refinisher of the many we interviewed who include moving furniture in his estimate. This was essential for us, as we were refinishing the entire main floor of our home. The furniture had to be moved from one room to the other in two stages for the week long process of sanding and applying the three finishing coats. He did not charge extra for matching the stain to maintain the vintage color. We also needed some repairs due to water damage by our French Doors. He did an excellent job. We did not know when he began that M Acosta had learned the trade from his uncle, that he had 25 years experience and that he knows and loves woods. As he worked with his lovely young adult son, we heard Mr. Acosta explain that our tongue in groove oak floors are rare now, and were laid mostly in Southern CA, or that the wood in our cabinet was from a certain part of a certain species of tree, " See you can tell by the burl pattern". It was a joy to watch the mentoring. We had no hesitation leaving town for the second stage of the work, as we trusted the father-son team completely. We were actually sorry for the project to come to an end - except for the glorious Floors they left behind. read more

Highly recommend Artisan Wood Floors! Daniel and crew just refinished the original hardwood floors in our 1895 Queen Anne Victorian and did a fabulous job. The floors look brand new. Additionally, we remodeled a hallway and had Daniel match the original flooring in the house. The wood, staining, and decorative border of the new hallway blends seamlessly with the original floors. We then had him strip and stain the steps of our interior stairs, which are made of Douglas Fir wood. He did a great job and really brought out the character of the wood. Thank you Artisan Wood Floors! read more

You will be hard pressed to find a better company in the Greater Bay Area to install or resurface your hardwood floors. My wife and I were both very happy with the level of service provided to us by Artisan Wood Floors. The whole experience was very positive, scheduling of the estimate was fast and easy, the appointment with the estimator Daniel went smoothly, he was on time, informative, evaluated our situation and presented us with the best options. Daniel provided an estimate in the timely manner, contacted us to follow up. Daniel and his team arrived on time, worked non-stop until the job was done, repairs and maintenance were efficient and complete, and his team cleaned up before they left. Communication was great. Great knowledge and they kept me informed about the process every step of the way. Thank you so very much for providing excellent service, we appreciate the whole team at Artisan Wood Floors. I would strongly recommend getting your flooring needs taken care of at Artisan Wood Floors. Jim Eastman read more

From the first meeting through the completed project, working with Daniel Acosta was a pleasure. He had photos of his work, which is beautiful, and an informative and low-key style. His team replaced my 95-year old floors. He was able to match the original style with the wood, stain, and extra highlight color for the border of each room. His bid was reasonable for the quality of materials and workmanship, his communication excellent, and the work site was left clean each day. Highly recommended. read more

I have the privilege of recommending Artisan Wood Floors, Daniel Acosta and his time - from TWO perspectives! 1) As DESIGNER, Daniel is wonderful to work with not only in the install phase - but also in the design phase: size of wood, type of wood, layout pattern of the main floor as well as accents and discussion of any challenges (IE: vents to cover, heavy usage and sun exposure areas). Throughout, he gave my Clients and I, confidence about their questions and was patient/helpful with their choices of the recommended stain colors too. As a Designer, I highly recommend Daniel and his team - Artisan Wood Floors! 2) As CLIENT, Daniel was equally friendly, courteous and professional. He does work of the highest quality and craftsmanship and communicates well. In the swirling world of home remodel - Daniel's reliable service is TOP NOTCH and very much appreciated. I highly recommend Artisan Wood Floors - Daniel Acosta and his team! read more
