We are so pleased with the service and quality we have received from The Finishing Touch. The floor in our office looks absolutely amazing, and what a great family business to work with. We gave Mike an idea of what we were looking for and he delivered. We did our due diligence by getting another bid, but our decision to go with The Finishing Touch was not based on price alone. Fortunately, his prices were very competitive. We will absolutely use The Finishing Touch again in the future. read more

We recently hired Mike and his sons to do flooring in our living room and entryway. We went from tile and carpet to engineered hardwood. They did a great job and were extremely professional. Mike provided samples that checked all of our boxes as far as affordability and specifications. We initially wanted LVP but decided to go with engineered hardwood due to our toddlers severe eczema and allergies. We indicated that we wanted moderately crunchy/healthy certifications with regard to the flooring type and he exceeded our expectations with a flooring we could afford that also had certifications / compliance for low VOCs, Carb II, floor score, Lacey Act, durability etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mike was very accommodating throughout the installation process and we appreciate how much he kept in contact with us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We hope to work with them in the future on other parts of our house and that they continue to service the East Bay for years to come!! read more

Excellent company. Micheal and his sons were able to install baseboards in my entire house as well fix a hole in the subfloor caused by another company. After the fiasco with dealing with JW flooring (Home Depot's only contractor), the finishing touch was a breath of fresh air. They even fixed a few squeaks the other company left and installed new toilets and LVP in my bathrooms. read more

The Finishing Touch - Flooring - Flooring Near Me

We had our floors and staircases refinished. They were the original hardwood from the 70s and had been stained a dark brown color with a shiny finish. We were debating refinishing them vs. replacing it to get a lighter color. We decided to go with refinishing after our consultation with them. For the consultation: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Michael really spent time explaining our options when they did the initial consultation. He was clear about any limitations and steered us away from things that wouldn't look as nice with some of the more unique aspects of the house (like our floating staircase).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was also clear about what the final color would look like, even though it was different than what we initially had in mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]By the time they started the work, we had a really clear idea of what was going to be done and what the final outcome would be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also appreciated that their quote was very clear and itemized. We had no surprises. Pricing was very fair too - comparable to other vendor quotes we got with more confidence that they itemized everything we'd need. The job: They were able to start quickly and got everything done before move in, just on time with what they estimated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Throughout the job, their communication was great. They let us know which days to coordinate our move in logistics.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They double checked on the swatches of staining/finishing options with us. They made recommendations on some of the finer details, like base boards and carpet trims without being pushy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can tell they really care about your home looking as good as it can. We loved the result. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, just really great and friendly people to work with. This is a small family business (Mike and his sons Michael and Matthew), which we really appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Thanks to Redeemed Flooring! Highly recommend for anyone looking for flooring replacement done right!

I can't say enough good things about The Finishing Touch. They installed new hardwood floors in our kitchen remodel and refinished the hardwood floors in our hallway. Mike and his boys are the best. They show up on time, very pleasant to work with, they keep you informed of everything they do, and their work and craftsmanship are as good as it gets. I highly recommend The Finishing Touch for all your hardwood flooring needs. read more

Recently purchased a new to me home with engineered wood floors. Unfortunately on one of the dining room chairs the protector on the leg came off, and before we noticed there were multiple obvious scratches on the floor. The house didn't come with any extra floor boards to swap out. I thought this would be permanently damaged and unsightly, because engineered wood floors can't be sanded and refinished like hardwood. Mike and his son went the extra mile and worked with me to repair the damage to the maximum extent possible. Mike asked his son to take this on. His son is a true artist, and managed to blend in patch materials and colors that now at a regular viewing angle the scratches are no longer visible, you pretty much have to be crouching on the floor to see them. Mike's son also replaced all the feet on the chairs with more durable ones so this won't happen again. I definitely recommend Mike and his son if you accidentally damage an engineered wood floor. read more

With all the current rains, our laminate flooring was starting to buckle around exterior doors where moisture was more present. In addition, the last contractor glued down the flooring in some places which contributed to this buckling. Mike and his son came over and figured out what needed to be done to fix this. In less than two days the floor was better than brand new. They also floated some cement next to an addition that was added earlier which also fixed a very janky transition to our room. I could not have hired a better company to do the job. We are loving our floors now. Mike and his son are very hard workers, professional and respectful and the price was right. Totally recommend these guys! read more

Mike and his sons just completed our floors and we couldn't be happier. They did a wood install and refinished kitchen and hall to match our existing rooms. We had several bids but we really wanted the business owner to work on our floors rather than employees. This was a wise decision! Like everyone says- they are punctual, and communitive, and are craftsmen. They care about their work and go the extra mile. I wish I knew about them when we had our first install. We will be calling them back to do more rooms. read more

The Finishing Touch - Flooring Near Me

I just had to post a review for these guys. (Father and Son team) They were totally awesome. I had a relatively small repair job I needed to have done so I requested quotes through yelp from flooring installers in the area. I was somewhat disappointed when most of the responses I received were that they didn't do that kind of work. (More probable was the fact that they were just not interested in doing a small job.) But, then, I received a response from Michael (the father) from The Finishing Touch. He was out the next day to take a look at my job and explained exactly what he could do, and was very transparent in letting me know that it would probably not be a perfect fix, but that he should be able to get it to look close to what I had originally, but more importantly, be less likely to cause an injury. He quoted me a reasonable estimate for the job so I accepted and made an appointment for the work to be done a few days later. On the day of the appointment, Michael (the son), shows up to do the work. He arrived RIGHT ON TIME and got right to work. I watched him throughout the entire process and was confident that he was quite skilled and knew exactly what he was doing. Well, a couple hours later, he was done. I am VERY PLEASED with the job he did. I was also very happy that my final cost was very reasonable. Michael also did a great job of cleaning up the area he was working in after he was done. (See photos) After witnessing the awesome work done and the professionalism with which they conduct their business, I would not hesitate to use them again in the future when I am ready to redo our very old wood floors. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone looking for floor work to seriously consider contacting these guys. Mike and Mike...it was a pleasure doing business with you! I'm certain you will be hearing from me again in the future. read more

The Finishing Touch - Cracked piece of nosing - Flooring Near Me

Mike performed a miracle for us! Our powder room toilet leaked and destroyed the hardwood floor about 2 inches around the toilet. It was a small area that caused a big problem. After many attempts to find someone who could replace the small, yet difficult repair, we just closed off the powder room, letting it sit for 2 years. Well, using hardwood in a powder room is not the smartest choice, but I do love the warm, elegant look it offers in our rather formal home, and decided to wait for a miracle. I saw Mike's beautiful work at a friend's home and we invited him to our house to provide a bid for installing new hardwood in our upstairs hall and bedrooms. During that visit, I showed the powder room to Mike, telling him I was thinking about ripping out the wood and replacing it with tile. Mike offered a great solution. He found some scrap hardwood in our garage from other hardwood floor projects. It was a perfect match and he fixed it beautifully so there is no evidence of the repair! Tonight we have our beautiful, elegant powder room back, ready for our holiday entertaining! Thanks a million Mike! I know it was not an easy job. You performed a miracle for us! We'll see you in a few months when we are ready to replace our upstairs flooring! J and B Kerns read more

Mike and son were great. They installed two rooms of vinyl tile for us and I was very impressed with the quality of their work. No corners cut (except the ones that needed to be) and they took their time ensuring a quality job. This was no "let's bang it out in one day" gig, they were true craftsmen and made sure that everything was perfect. They also installed trim for me, and that too was done very well. I highly recommend them for any kind of LVP/LVT install or trim, and I know from a friend that their hardwood work is just as good. Mike (dad) looks and sounds like Jeff Bridges but apparently I'm the only one who noticed that?!? read more

My wife and I had The Finishing Touch install engineered hardwood flooring and baseboards in our upstairs bedrooms, hall and staircase. Mike and his sons are easy to deal with. Their expertise and the excellent quality of their work shows, and their price was fair. We liked that Mike was responsive, on time and stayed in touch. If something came up, he let us know. We read the review about a missed appointment and no phone call that one individual had experienced. But after seeing how Mike answered and returned calls while he was at our house and went to appointments while his sons continued working, it was clear that type of behavior is uncharacteristic for him. We plan to have Mike and his sons come back next year when we start working on our downstairs. read more

I have an engineered wood floor that's over 20 years old and has its share of scratches. With plans to sell my house, I wanted to make the floor look nice again, possibly with a warmer color tone. Mike patiently walked me through the process of checking whether the floor had enough thickness to be refinished. He also provided me with options, including the possibility of keeping the same color at a lower cost than a full sanding. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While I haven't made a final decision yet, I'm already very impressed with his service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Mike and his sons are great! At our house, we were tired of carpet in every single room (even in the kitchen). We got 4 separate estimates from different businesses and Mike's was the best. It was also a no brainer to go with him seeing the other reviews everyone else had. Mike's sons were great to have around; they were respectful, hard-working, and punctual. Two weeks later and we couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Mike and Michael transformed our outdated floors and gave us a beautiful look. They were extremely detail oriented and their workmanship was outstanding. They are true craftsmen.

Mike and his crew did an outstanding job with our floors. His attention to detail is appreciated and he was always clean and attentive to our family living in the house while he worked. Every day he left the house extremely clean and always picked up after themselves. We used Mike in 2017 and were so satisfied with his work that when we moved earlier this year we used him again on our new house. We got multiple quotes for the 2017 job and Mike's prices were by far the best. This time around we knew we weren't going to be slighted and we were correct. I would recommend the finishing touch to family or friends without blinking an eye. He finished the job on time and both projects the price at the end of the project was what he quoted us. read more

Mike is incredible, my obsessive attention to detail was matched by the team and Micheal's ability to see everything I saw right away has made the process so effortless. Normally I wouldn't go back and edit a 5 star review, but because of their work I asked them to do even more and they really delivered. I cannot recommend them enough. If you have any flooring/trim needs, or are even slightly curious as to what they can do for you I would recommend The Finishing Touch. read more

My husband and I have been reluctant to have our floors refinished until we found "The finishing Touch". We had deep grooves in our solid hardwood floors and it really showed our home was well lived in. Mike was confident that he could take out the scratches. Mike was honest about what he could do for us and went over every detail to make sure we understood what could and needed to be done. Mike and his crew arrived each day on time and ready to work and they did work hard. Mike told us that his machines emitted just a little dust and he wasn't kidding. I was pleasantly surprised. Mike and his crew paid attention to every detail. We needed a section of flooring replace and upon completion you can't even see where the repair work was done. It is amazing. Besides sanding and refinishing the floors Mike and his crew went around our rooms and made sure to fill in large gaps & loose floor boards. They even went above and beyond and installed a beautiful hard wood trim around our fireplace to give it an elegant touch. It's beautiful. They were very attentive to any questions we asked and gave explicit instructions on how to care for our floors when they were finished. I would and will highly recommend "The Finishing Touch" to family and friends. We are impressed with their quality of workmanship and attention to detail. Phenomenal job! read more

The Finishing Touch - Flooring Near Me

I am writing a review for my parents. Mike did the hardwood floors to their new construction home. Mike did an exceptional job and the floors look beautiful. He is not just amazing at his craft but worked hard and paid close attention to every last detail. He even did an additional small area that we had originally missed. Most of all though Mike was just a great person to work with. He was incredibly communicative throughout the whole process. I initially helped my parents coordinate and Mike was onsite working another job but took the time to text me to tell me exactly what his schedule was and when we could have a longer conversation. Even though he was working and I told him he could get back to me later, he always got back to me right away via text. My parents loved working with him too. My dad has kept asking me to help him write this review because he wants everyone to know how great Mike is to work with. My parents also really appreciated how he was the only contractor we got an estimate from that did not make us purchase a lot of additional flooring that was not needed. Nothing went to waste! Mike is very open, honest and we would not hesitate to work with him again if we have another flooring project. read more

I had laminate floors installed to match some existing floors by the Finishing Touch, Mike Murray and his team. Would recommend them for anyone looking to do any kind of wood or floor work.

Mike and his son Mike of The Finishing Touch are experts at their craft. In 2011 they installed new pre-finished oak flooring in our living room, dining room and study, after pulling up the previous wall-to-wall carpeting. They did a beautiful job on that project, and the floors still look brand new. The oak hardwood flooring in our family room and kitchen were installed over 30 years ago (by someone else) and were in desperate need of refinishing; so we again contacted Mike to do the work. Fortunately for us, he had just had a cancellation for this past week, so he was able to schedule our job in its place. The old floor showed much wear with black marks, scuffs, and pet stains; but in three days, Mike and son worked their magic and transformed the floor to its original glory. If anything, it looks better than when it was brand new! Before beginning work on the floor, the two Mikes very carefully moved two sofas, a dining set, and refrigerator outside to the deck and covered them for protection from the elements; remaining furnishings they moved to other inside areas. They meticulously sealed off the family room and kitchen so there would be no escaping sanding residue. When the floor was finished, they attached new felt glides before moving furniture back, reconnected the T.V. with its accompanying electronic components, and maneuvered the refrigerator back into place, re-hooking the ice maker. Everything was done professionally, on schedule, and for a fair price. To top it off, Mike is an extremely friendly person and a pleasure with whom to do business. We recommend him whole-heartedly and would enlist him again for any future flooring projects. read more

We used The Finishing Touch, Mike on our floors over 16 years ago and today he finished the second project for us. It was just as amazing as the first time he did work for us. Mike (along with his son) is a very hard-working, conscientious contractor who knows his way around hardwood flooring. They arrived on time, had respect for our belongings and home, cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day and kept me informed throughout the project. Not only is his work beautiful, but because of his knowledge he was able to make suggestions that my husband and I didn't even think about. I would not hesitate a moment to recommend or hire him again. You won't be disappointed in his work. read more

Family run business...gotta love it! This review is way overdue...but now that my head is above water on my first home and "fixer upper"...it's time to give them their due! I called on what could be done about my rough "fixer upper floors" and had a visit with a quote...all in the same week! The following week the light sanding/sealing protection was done! I couldn't afford to have the hardwood floors completely re-done at this time...but I'll definitely use them once I'm ready for that! They did a fantastic and thorough job. Communication was clear and professional. So refreshing to work with a great Father/Son team who actually follow through with quality work! They always seemed to be friendly and honest men too. :) read more

I don't usually write reviews. The review I wrote last was a bad one about a auto service place in Oakland. This time I have to give a 5 star review to Mike and his Son Mike. They are good people, which are rare to find these days unfortunately. I called them to do a refinish and staining ( darker) on a maple color engineered wood on the house I was buying and we came to agree on a reasonable price. After they started to do the sanding, Mike called me and said he feel like we may not get the result we are looking for and recommended to do a brand new LVP flooring . I said my budget is only what we agreed on and if can get it done for the same, go ahead with it. He agreed to do it at the same cost. I am sure they haven't made much profit from doing this and they did a wonderful job, working even weekends to finish it before our move in date. I am very happy the way my floor look and it was his honest, straight forward mind, prompted him to give me that option. Thank you Mike and Mike Junior, You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work, May God bless You and your family. If anyone want to do anything with your flooring, don't call anyone else, you will be happy for sure. read more
