Recently they refinished our 100+ year old hardwood floors and they look absolutely magnificent. Oscar was the manager of the job, and he was knowledgeable, professional and considerate. He and another worker did an incredible job sanding and refinishing the hardwood floors. They carefully moved our furniture and afterwards put every piece back in its' original spot. As an extra final touch, they put protectors on the furniture pieces before placing them back on the newly finished floors. We are extremely pleased with the work done by CBH Floors, and it was done at a very reasonable price! Highly recommend using them for your floor needs.

I hired JN Tile for carpet installation after getting a quote that was significantly lower than…read moreanother business for the exact same product. That part was great. Julian was prompt in responding initially and very friendly throughout our communications, which made me feel confident going in. However, the installation experience itself left something to be desired. Julian never visited the job site, not during the work and not to inspect the final result. The installation was handled by his father, Joel, who brought along whoever was available each day. Day one, his brother filled in because Joel's son couldn't make it. Day two, the son showed up. While I understand that staffing can be flexible, it did feel a bit inconsistent. That said, I appreciated the fact that the job was scheduled fairly quickly and only took a couple of days. As for the work itself, there were a few things that weren't quite right. Tidiness was an issue. Joel and his crew left behind random pieces of garbage (including a soda can) and left smudges on door frames and doors that had been removed and rehung during installation. The final cleanup also fell short: despite vacuuming, a noticeable amount of carpet debris was left behind. One thing worth noting for anyone considering this business: I specifically chose this carpet in part because of the manufacturer's warranty. To have that warranty honored if I ever need it, I need proof of purchase, which should be a basic expectation after any transaction. It took me nearly a month of chasing Julian just to receive an invoice and receipt. That alone was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. A couple of weeks after installation, a corner of carpet on an exposed step was lifting up completely, clearly never properly secured. To his credit, Julian responded quickly and sent Joel out to fix it, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it. More recently I noticed that the few carpeted steps we have show signs of the carpet bowing out along the front face, as if it was never properly attached to begin with. You can press on the area and visibly see it caving in. I first reached out to Julian about this on February 9th. He said he'd check with "his guy" on availability, and then I heard nothing for 10 days, at which point he asked for a photo. I sent both a photo and a video clearly demonstrating the problem. No response. I followed up again on the 21st, and the next day he assured me he hadn't forgotten about me. It is now March 15th, and I still have not heard back. At this point, I have little confidence that anything will be done to resolve it. The price was genuinely attractive, and I wish I could recommend JN Tile, but a discount means nothing when the installation is botched and follow-through on fixing it falls apart. I very much wish I had gone with the other provider. The difference in cost simply isn't worth it.

We hired Julian for a kitchen backsplash job and quickly had him back for a full bathroom gut and…read moreremodel, and we're very happy with the end result. His tile work is excellent - clean lines, great attention to detail, and it's clear he really knows his craft. He was thoughtful about layout, made good recommendations along the way, and the finished bathroom looks beautiful. Communication was solid, and the quality of the work definitely shows in the final product. Nothing felt rushed, and the craftsmanship was the priority. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their tile work and delivers a high-quality finished product, he's a great option. We'd use him again and are enjoying the space every day!

We are thrilled with our new kitchen backsplash and received five star service from Roberto at…read moreEscarlata Tile. From the time of my first contact, Roberto responded quickly and professionally to every request. He was able to come out to provide a quote late on the same day that I contacted him, and he made sure that we had enough tile to complete the job (we had purchased it almost two years ago and then procrastinated on hiring the tile installer, and we had gotten only just barely enough -- 15 subway tiles left at the end). He was prepared to discuss the schedule at that time, and it worked out that he was able to fit in our small job (with the help of his assistant) before he started work on another larger project the following week. Roberto was easy to work with throughout, texting back quickly whenever we had questions. Roberto also gave us good suggestions about the grout and schluter colors for the finish, and we love the way the finished project matches our cabinets. The work itself was very well done, as far as I can tell. I realize as I write this review that I can't compare and contract tile installers the way I would compare different restaurants. I've only ever hired one other (in the East Bay, more than a decade ago). I'm including a photo that I sent around to family to show them how beautiful it looks. As far as cost, Roberto's bid was the middle of the three quotes we received, but it was pretty close to the lowest bid. I had much greater confidence in Roberto from our interactions, so we selected his firm for the job. I will go directly to Roberto in the future if we have any tiling projects.

DO NOT HIRE!!!…read more Roberto tiled our shower and it looked beautiful initially. Then we noticed that he used brown grout to tile the top portion of our shower (to stick it to the wall). It seeped through and ruined the tile. He was literally too lazy to go to the store to get white grout. The bottom of the wall he tiled looks fine but the top portion is awful. This was clearly his mistake. I told him I'd even buy replacement tile but he needed to fix it. We haven't heard from him since. Zero integrity. Stay away!!!

Juan was patient in making sure we got exactly what we wanted. We inspected the color together, selected keepers and losers from the varied boards, decided which areas and rooms to choose our favorite boards for.. Juan did much behind the scenes such as meticulous moisture testing, moisture barrier placement to make sure our product would look good long term, not just right after install. He also gracefully handled many unexpected challenges such as manufacturer defects which required a large delayed re-shipment. He stepped up to help us over the hurdle, taking delivery into his own hands to take some time off the schedule. He even helped calm a neighbor who had been upset about unrelated aspects of our general construction project. Juan and his whole crew couldn't be nicer guys, and they are all true professionals that inspire confidence easily. I would definitely hire Navarro Flooring again.

A rite of passage for new homeowners is to deal with a major repair. Less than a year after moving in, heavy rains led to water from outside making its way inside without invitation. Noticing some damaged wood that was likely to blame, we called on Nelson to help. Of the various contractors we solicited for quotes, Nelson was the most through and punctual. And throughout, Nelson and team were reliable, communicative and provided expert work for a job which started as a "minor" siding repair but expanded (to our dismay) in scope as increasing amounts of rotting, structural wood from the previous owner was uncovered. Although it was disconcerting to see how much damage we would need to address, Nelson was sympathetic and assured us that it would be straightforward to fix and advised on a couple of different approaches, which we agreed to. His team arrived on time every day and worked around weather conditions to perform carpentry, waterproofing, and offered continuous updates. We also hired Nelson's team to paint afterwards, and are very happy with the results. By the end we started dreaming about other projects or repairs we could accomplish and started getting his feedback on those as well! One thing we learned is that it's necessary to make sure the discussions are thoroughly documented-we had a couple of misunderstandings about what was included or not after verbal discussions, which we either resolved through the contract, or realized after the fact that it was something discussed but never written down so we let it go. But making the agreement itself was a breeze, and Nelson is good humored, flexible and was easy to work with at all of the stages of the process. We would certainly work with him on future repairs.
