I was a client of Caldeira Refinishing for years and relied on them to maintain my front door…read more After several unsuccessful attempts to reach them recently through their website and email, I called their business phone and discovered that the number had been disconnected. A few days later, I learned that the owners apparently retired and moved out of state. It's unfortunate they didn't communicate this information to their many loyal customers. I subsequently learned that Elvia Barrera, who formerly worked with Caldeira, now has her own business and is carrying on the tradition of quality refinishing. You can reach her at (510) 584-8933 (mobile/text) to schedule a time for her to stop by and provide an estimate for refinishing services.

Fantastic workmanship at reasonable prices. I brought in two unusual pieces and Jamie did a…read morefantastic job on both. One item - a Hammond B-3 organ cabinet, was a wreck from years of on the road touring around the world. Jamie restored it to pristine condition. He repaired smashed moldings and fixed numerous gouges, scratches and dents. The other item was a speaker cabinet. Although it was in better shape, it was 40 years old and was showing signs of wear and tear. Jamie did a beautiful job with both. I recommend him and his shop wholeheartedly and enthusiastically.

I reached out to fill in some holes that longhorn beetles that were already infested in the…read morefurniture ate its way through. There were 2 holes about the size of a pinky and the cavity is about the size that could fit my thumb up to its nailbed. I reached out to a few folks and got quotes. Given my prior positive experience, I reached out to Mauricio to see if this could be done. I also noticed 2 holes that I'm not sure if it was there when I first got the furniture or if something else bore out. These were about the size of a dull pencil tip but on the underside of the furniture. Mauricio was extremely patient with me upon getting the details as I was considering getting a second opinion from some local exterminators on the risk of another emergence. Eventually, I figured out some details and booked an appointment. Everything was quickly scheduled with Edgar who arrived on time promptly and quickly went to work fixing the 4 holes. By the time it was finished, I could only vaguely guess where the holes were. To someone who didn't know about the holes, it would look almost natural. All in all, this took roughly an hour or so to complete. Edgar was sure to clean up after himself and laid out some paper padding to capture any mess left behind and prevent it from touching the floor. Overall, I was happy with the price and quality of work done.

It was transformed from worn red concrete covered with multiple layers of chipped paint into a clean, modern, and updated entrance. We hope the new finish will provide many years of durability and continue to look great. A special thank you to Jack for his outstanding coordination throughout the project.

His communication, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout the entire process were greatly appreciated.

I managed to seriously damage the bottom of our bathtub after using a powerful drain cleaner…read more(yes... big mistake on my part ). The finish was ruined over a large area and I was firmly in the doghouse with my wife. I found Jack Switala from Al Quality Refinishing, and he came out promptly to take a look. He was professional, straightforward, extremely knowledgeable, and gave a very fair quote. When he returned to do the work, the entire refinishing process only took about three hours, which honestly amazed me. Jack is clearly an expert at what he does--he's not just knowledgeable, he's truly an artist. He refinished the entire tub, and it now looks and shines like new. The surface is smooth, glossy, and flawless. No one would ever know how badly I messed it up. In addition to tubs, Jack also reconditions chipped, worn, and damaged plumbing fixtures, including sinks and tubs, which is great to know for future projects. I would absolutely hire him again (though I'm hoping I never damage a tub like that again). If you need refinishing done right, I highly recommend Jack and Al Quality Refinishing.

Their lead installer, Jose, did an excellent job with refacing while also keeping the work area contained and cleaned so there was minimal disruption during the installation. It has been 1.5 months since the install and we have been very happy going with GS Fine Finishers. On time, on cost, and on value - I would highly recommend going with them Fantastic customer service and communication.

We could not be more impressed by GS Fine Finishers!…read more We talked to a number of contractors to weight the pros/cons of simply repainting our old kitchen cabinets vs refacing or replacing them. Most contractors advised us to just replace the cabinets because they warned us that repainting would not achieve a cosmetically favorable result and refacing would not save that much money compared to getting completely new cabinets. Quotes were coming in at about 15k JUST for removal of the old cabinets, not including the price of new cabinets/countertops, which is easily another 10-20k. Because our countertops are relatively new and we wanted to preserve them, we looked into refacing as a middle option. We scheduled an appointment to go to the showroom and chat about our project with Andy. The appointment was quick and easy -- we just picked out our desired door styles and color. He showed us their special painting technology to create more durable painted exteriors for our existing cabinet boxes. We were sold because it was clear Andy was not trying to sell us anything -- when asked about the installation of a lazy Susan in our blind corner cabinet, Andy assured us that, in all his years of experience, he has never seen a workable option to optimize that dead space. He told us we would be paying a lot of money for ultimately wasted space. The quote provided was itemized and clear, totally reasonable. It came out to about $15k to completely reface our kitchen and 2 bathroom vanities including new cabinet doors, drawer replacements, soft close mechanisms, and handle installation (hardware not included). This also included installing several new gliding shelves, removing an old integrated cutting board to expand a drawer, and cutting a cabinet post to create a longer sliding shelf. We paid extra to upgrade to matching shaker faces for our drawers. We have had a few contractor teams come out to work on our house, and Jesus's team was by far the cleanest and most detail-oriented. They completely sealed up the kitchen and made sure to coordinate so that we always had one usable bathroom. When installing the cabinet doors and drawers, they used a level EACH and EVERY time. They tested for places where doors might run into the wall and installed little bumpers. We discovered that one of the water valves in our kitchen was broken after they moved our fridge (not their fault, old house) and Jesus went above and beyond to help us not only troubleshoot but fix the problem. I can't recommend this team enough! They will communicate and work with you every step of the way. Remodeling is hard, but GS Fine Finishers has been hands down the easiest company we have worked with. Our kitchen looks brand new and we couldn't love it more.
