We recently had Mark from Golden Oak Flooring sand and refinish our oak floors, and he did an outstanding job. We've been going through a home remodel over the past six months, and Mark stood out as one of the few contractors who arrived on time, kept his word, and delivered excellent quality at a fair price. Our 30-year-old oak floors had been stained a dark mahogany, and Mark did a superb job replacing damaged sections seamlessly, sanding everything down, and applying a clear finish that brought the wood back to life. We're thrilled with the results and highly recommend Golden Oak Flooring to anyone looking for expert craftsmanship and reliability. read more

Mark and his team did an amazing job refinishing our entire downstairs. Our original floors were pre-finished and kind of uneven. Now they are just beautiful. Good value, fast, professional. I highly recommend. Maggie K in Petaluma read more

I just had Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring installed in my house by Mark of Golden Oak Flooring. The flooring I replaced was about 600 sq. ft. sheet vinyl and 600 sq. ft. carpet. The vinyl was 2 layers thick. Before signing with Golden Oak I got bids from two name brand flooring companies. The first one gave me an estimate but said that because my house was built in 1971the glue used on the vinyl was asbestos and before they start I would need to have a Haz Mat company remove and dispose of the vinyl. I asked if he could give me a contact number for a Haz Mat co. He said he didn't have one. Next, I called a flooring store that advertises on T V. Their contract says, "If before or during installation they suspect asbestos, the job will stop and it will be my responsibility to have it removed by Haz Mat before they continue." They also said they didn't have a contact number for Haz Mat. I asked if they could send an installer up to tell me before I signed the contract to see if they suspected asbestos. They said I have to sign the contract first. My fear was not knowing if I would have to pay thousands of dollars in addition to the flooring contract. Next, I called Mark of Golden Oak flooring. Mark said I wouldn't have to remove the vinyl. He would build up the area where the carpet was removed to the exact height of the vinyl and lay the new floor over it. Golden Oak's price was within a couple hundred dollars of the first two and would save me many thousands of dollars by not removing and disposing the vinyl. Mark did the job. It was on schedule, on budget and it looks wonderful. Mark did an excellent job. He is a perfectionist and pays attention to detail. I highly recommend Golden Oak and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

We moved to Sonoma county in the spring and the house had wood floor that was a bit orangish for us. We wanted to refinish that and also install some new flooring in other areas. We contacted a few installers in the area. We ended up going with Mark because he was very down to earth and would be the one on-site and in charge of the work. We had many unexpected difficulties from pulling the engineered floor, thickness of the floor, slopes, gaps, dealing with built-in refrigerator, and door frames. Mark had to change his plan multiple times because of the strange ways things were done previously. He meticulously thought of ways to make everything aesthetic. He managed to find ways to address each unexpected difficulty and contacted appliance professionals and a metal smith to get the job done correctly. He took his time to do things well -- his attention to detail and precision were remarkable. The end result? We love our new floors! read more

Mark and his crew just installed white oak flooring in two bedrooms in our home. A challenging job to match the existing stained hardwood in the rest of the house. No one would ever guess that the installation was recent. Mark was on time, neat, and conscientious with the removal of according doors, drapes, and baseboards. We'll hire him again should the need arise . read more

Mark and his crew are AMAZING!! They walked us through the entire process, from planning and selecting wood and styles. Our job wasn't the biggest, but the level of attentiveness and care made us feel incredible. We dreaded the demolition and prep stages, having heard nightmares from other people about dust and disruption. There was NONE of that! Whatever magic machines they used did the job. Next came the selection of materials, and Mark explained everything so clearly. He helped us pick a high-character red oak that fits our home aesthetic perfectly. As the installation proceeded, I listened to the craftsmanship - each board was chosen to be placed exactly where it would make the most impact. Who knew THAT was a thing?! The crew was always on time, always respectful that I worked from home, and always picked up at the end of the day. Now that the finish is a few weeks old, I can happily report that the floor is gorgeous and flawless! It will be the last and best floor we ever buy for this house. read more

Mark and his crew just finished our oak wood floors and we could not be happier. We had some water damage to our wood floors which Mark's crew quickly repaired and then refinished the entire floor to better than new. Thanks guys. read more

Mark & his crew completely transformed my house from a dated space with minimal light into an updated home. The new floors brightened up the entire house. At my request, they even were able to rotate my kitchen island from a diagonal position to a straight position. Thanks Mark, Juan & John for the work you put in! read more

Mark and his crew are top notch. They refinished the entire downstairs of my oak floored home and it looks just fabulous. The finish he recommended shows all the depth of the grain of the wood. It is so beautiful that I just about don't want to put the furniture back in. From start to finish Mark was responsive to my requests and Johnny-on-the-spot getting the job done. It is always apprehensive when you bring in someone to your home that you don't know but he and his crew are the real deal. I so appreciate his integrity and dedication to his craft. I am looking forward to using their services again when I start my upstairs project. read more

Mark knows what he is doing, has a great eye for details and gets the job done beautifully. The original hardwood flooring that we found under the cheep flip job flooring was a mess. Sections had been cut into to get to the sub flooring, large areas had paint damage and other ares where missing material. Our house is old and not completely even or level either, but some how he made the floors look perfect. 5 Stars to the extensive subfloor repair, weaving new material and restoration of the original material. My husband and I can't be more happy with the out come. Mark is also quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. Now the reason I gave the 4 stars is a reflection of how the calculation of estimates was handled. My husband and I were very forgiving a few different times when it came to numbers and estimates that were generated. Without going too far into detail, bottom line is triple check the numbers and ask him to do the same before he has to make excuses or plead for forgiveness for calculation/estimate errors. Thankfully his calculation skills don't reflect on the kind of work he does. He truly is a master at is craft. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mark and Jesse. They were quick to give us a quote and finished the job on time. Fantastic attitude, polite and pleasant to work with. The refinished flooring looks fantastic and better than we hoped. Thanks for the good work guys! read more

We are so happy with our new floors. Mark was easy to work with and efficient. We had hardwood in our family/kitchen room and wanted to extend the flooring into our living room. They did such an excellent job that the transition from old to new it is completely undetectable. We also had to transition to our tile entryway and again - beautifully done. Something else to note, you are dealing with the owner and his crew. Supporting a local business. You call and Mark answers. This service is priceless. When making this type of investment into your home there is so much value in dealing with a company that cares about their workmanship. This isn't a big box company where they take your order then they sub contract to some anonymous 3rd party installer. Again, delighted with my new floors and I would highly recommend them. read more

Mark and his crew were absolutely fantastic!! Mark was fast to come by and give us a quote and then was able to squeeze us in his busy schedule. Jessie and John worked overtime on a Saturday to get the whole job done within a day. They were very hardworking and professional throughout the job. I highly recommend Golden Oak flooring! read more

We are so pleased with our refinished flooring. They were great. Mark is professional and the pricing was extremely fair. They did a great job. They are efficient, trustworthy. Always on time.

We found Golden Oak Flooring through on-line reviews after we purchased our home in Petaluma. Our home had some existing red oak flooring that we wanted to refinish as well as install new oak flooring throughout the house to match the existing. Mark came in a gave us a competitive estimate. He was very professional, on time and knowledgeable. He took the time to walk us through options and had patience with us as we changed our minds several times during the design process which caused him to rework his bids. The work was performed as expected with a very high degree of detail and craftsmanship. Looking at the areas were the new floor was installed next to the existing, we could not tell the difference. We are extremely pleased with Mark's company and the final result. We have since damaged the floor and had Mark come back to do some minor repairs. Again, he was prompt in his response and demonstrated exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Golden Oak Flooring for your flooring project. read more

Loved Mark - was super positive, fast to get us a quote and booked into his schedule, and did a beautiful job with his crew to totally refinish and stain our hardwood floors. Love the change! read more

If you want absolutely beautiful floors done by a perfectionist at a great price Mark is your man! I called half a dozen floor companies and had them all come out. Mark was by far the most knowledgeable, with expertise in selecting color, perfectionist in all the fine details I didn't even notice, and best of all he is so much fun to work with! I'm remodeling my home and with new painting, carpet, kitchen, etc everyone raves the most at my gorgeous floors! My house has transformed because of these floors. I thought they were old and I needed to replace them but Mark changed that with his incredible work! Thank you Mark owner of Golden Oak! P.S. Thank you to his awesome team Juan and Alan for their incredible work creating my dream home! read more

We had a challenging and time sensitive install. Found Mark after trying to deal with two of the larger companies who were really difficult to work with. Mark took on the job, was able to finish on time, was easy to work with, and the floors look beautiful. And during a global pandemic! I highly recommend him! read more

Mark and his team totally transformed our house. We had red oak flooring that had turned orange over the years due to the sun and heat. At first I was hesitant to spend the money to refinish, stain and seal, but decided that due to some termite damage and stains we might as well spend the money and do it right. I'm so happy I chose to hire Mark because the flooring has completely changed the aesthetic of the house and made it more modern. It looks like a brand new floor. I went with a natural oak finish and as a result the new stain lightened up the house and made it brighter. Mark was punctual, ready at short notice and a great communicator. The end result was stunning. read more

So I had a bedroom with gross, old carpet and couldn't take it any longer. I called Empire and they came out and bid the job and I gave them a deposit and the night before they were scheduled to do my floor I cleared out the room. Problem was they never showed up to do the job! I spent the entire day trying to get ahold of customer service. You CANNOT get help or an answer from someone at Empire if something goes wrong. A day or two later someone did finally get back to me and they try to blame me for their no show!! Anyway, I fired Empire and found Mark at Golden Oaks Flooring and he guided me through what type of flooring to order and we scheduled a day from the job to be done. Unlike Empire they showed up and got the job done. It cost more than what Empire was gonna charge me, but it was worth it. I am 100 percent certain Empire wouldn't have done near as good a job as Mark and his crew did. Floor looks gorgeous, the quality of their work is top notch. NO more stinky, gross carpet! I tried to attach a photo but it's not letting me for some reason... read more

Mark and his team from Golden Oak Flooring had the expertise to install the best floors and stairs I've ever walked on, and the knowledge to advise me along the way. Mark listened to what I wanted and helped me choose the best options for my home. Then they installed a classically beautiful white oak hardwood floor, sanded it in place, and finished it throughout our whole house. They also installed an amazing custom floating staircase with the same white oak. Everything came out perfect, and I get comments all the time on how great everything looks. I would recommend them to anyone, and if I ever need another floor I'll be happy to call them again. read more

Mark was really great to work with and very conscientious. He and his team did a very good job. Their craftsmanship and professionalism would make me use them again. They went above and beyond by showing me other areas in my 1908 house where the boards were spongy and needed added support in order to be safe. read more

We are so happy with our beautiful new white oak floors in the living room, dining room, and hallway. Mark and his crew did excellent work in timely fashion. We had seen their craftmanship in Wischemann Hall in Sebastopol where we dance several nights a week and were so impressed that we called him to do our floor as well. They were punctual, kept the area clean, and did an outstanding job. Mark's expertise was in evidence with his care in laying out the wood in an eye-pleasing flow and attention to every detail. I highly recommend this company. read more

Thank you Mark and Team! The team at Golden Oak Flooring is great! Mark is fast and professional and knows his business. He was able to get in and get my floors done quickly and did a beautiful job! Its not easy laying dark bamboo flooring but he and his team nailed the pattern and the lay out and it looks fabulous. Getting nothing but complements on how it looks even from some very picky people. I highly recommend Golden Oak Flooring. They know what they're doing, they are professional and friendly (really nice crew), and Mark is very reasonable for the high quality of work they do. Thanks again Mark. Best to you all. read more

Way overpriced. Not only was I strung along which created a huge inconvenience with my daily life and job but I was charged a lot more than I was originally quoted. Defects became evident soon after installation seems lifting, chips outside traffic areas and some pieces had missing finish. They broke a tile on my door entrance and claimed it was already broken and they were not responsible to repair it. So very disappointed in this company. These issues have yet the be resolved. I will NEVER do business with this company again NOR would I ever recommend them to anybody. Please stay clear from this company. read more

We recently remodeled our 1964 house including the hardwood floors. The previous owners had installed some hardwood sixteen years ago in some rooms and we had very old existing hardwood under most of our carpeting. There were also a few locations were new hardwood had to be installed due to dry rot and damage. Mark, owner of Golden Oak Flooring did an outstanding job of staining and refinishing the floors. The outcome was stunning. He was professional, careful with our home during the refinishing process and a sincere pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without any reservation. read more

I would highly recommend Mark from Golden Oak Flooring! Professional, hands on, attention to detail. I had several bids and was most impressed with Golden Oak Flooring.

Our "new" floor is beautiful. We had a small kitchen fire on the floor. Hot molten aluminum had spread all around on the floor and on some of the cabinetry. Mark and his crewman worked with us on the scheduling and made it easy. Off the kitchen, we have a 1400 sq ft "great room" with living room and dining room. Matched it all perfectly. The match of the new wood with the old is invisible. And the old floor is just like new. What a gift! Thank you Mark (and Calvin) and for being so helpful on how to maintain and match a new piece of wood where the new cooktop is installed to match the cabinets. Good advise and good work both. (Cannot wait for the smell to go away the whole way, but we have been able to live with it.) Nice trip away while they did the floors. Good ending to a not so good fiery incident. read more

My husband and I recently bought an old house in Petaluma with nice oak floors in need of refinishing. We were dealing with a very short window between closing and our move in date. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to book refinishers recommended by our real estate agent, I turned to yelp. At this point I was in something of a panic, knowing that once we were moved in, refinishing would be a huge production that we probably wouldn't be able to tackle for several years. After reading all the great reviews for Golden Oak, I gave them a call. Got the owner Mark Van Antwerp on his cell while he was in the midst of driving across Nebraska. He assured me that getting the work done on time would not be a problem and arrived with an assistant the following Monday. Mark worked long hours to get the job done and did an absolutely beautiful, first rate job. Our house has a newer addition and the older floors didn't match up all that well with the newer ones, but Mark made them blend in beautifully. He's also a really nice guy. Highly recommended! read more

Where do you begin to find a reputable business when you have never needed that kind of service before.. Word of mouth for me. My husband and I did not know where to begin. We were over a friends house and the discussion about removing our carpet and having hardwood flooring came up. Our friends Renee and Jason told us their friend just had installation of hardwood flooring and it looked amazing. I called Golden Oak and spoke with Mark, the owner. I had an appointment to go over what we wanted done the next day. There isn't anything I dislike more then when someone gives you a time that they will be there and their late. Not in this case. We set our appointment for 3:30. I drove into my driveway from picking my son up from school and Mark was outside waiting in his car at 3:20. I explained to him what look we were going for and that we did desire crown molding. We were having the living room and dining room done. Mark showed us many samples of different kinds of wood and stain colors. Just from the pictures he showed of completed jobs, I was already impressed. Mark is very knowledgeable in regards to the different woods, designs and stains to match your room theme. My husband and I had a problem agreeing on the same stain color. Mark patiently waited for our decision. His quote was very fair. From tearing the rugs out, preparing the floor, staining it, to the finishing touch of crown molding, we were so very impressed. Efficient, on time, clean reasonable for the quality of materials and workmanship. Mark delivered a beautiful final flooring along with hauling all the rugs and scraps. Mark takes pride in his work and comes highly recommended by me. I will be calling him back soon for three bedrooms and stairs..I'm not the type of person to recommend people just incase something goes wrong.. I have no problem recommending Mark he has more then earned my trust and business!! Continued success. read more

I would recommend Golden Oak Flooring to anyone. Great company to do business with!! read more
