    Chip 1 - After
    Jay S.

    We had two chips in our quartz countertop around the sink. We were looking for the best company to make the repairs and found it! It is an art to repair a quartz countertop. Color is so critical. Luis came to our home with Maria. It took nearly 3 hours to expertly repair two small chips. We know were the chips were...but now it is virtually impossible to find them. Luis is a master at his craft! If you are looking for a company that can truly repair the chips in your quartz...look no further. They deserve 6 stars for an absolutely fantastic job!!!!!

    Finished job.

    We had damage to our kitchen counter. These guys were able to fix it and regrout the edge. We also had them clean our granite.

    My outdoor barbeque had the edge of the stone countertop fall off. Sent off inquires to a few firms but was most impressed with the Stone Alchemist team. Thay did a great job repairing the countertop that now it looks new. I highly recommend them for your stonework.

    Cleaned and polished bathroom countertop.

    We had some crumbling/chipping along the edge of our manufactured stone kitchen counter which was gradually getting worse. I wasn't sure if it could be fixed. Additionally, we had yellowing discoloration around the faucet fixtures in the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. Again, this discoloration looked like it had permeated the stone itself. It looked very hard to get off. We had our usual plumber remove the faucet fixtures for the service. The two workers who came over from the Stone Alchemist did a really professional job fixing both issues. They put plastic down and hung plastic sheets to prevent creating a mess. They matched the surface color of the kitchen counter with the chip repair. They did what appeared to be multiple stages of polishing the countertops until the stain was totally gone. They also replaced the silicone seals for both of those sinks. Very happy with the service. Highly recommend.

    The Stone Alchemist - A True Gem for Stone Fabrication! I recently had the pleasure of working with The Stone Alchemist for a fireplace renovation, and I can't say enough good things about their work! They installed a stunning quartzite stone slab for my fireplace, and the results are absolutely breathtaking. The natural veining and colors in the stone make it a show-stopping centerpiece in my living room--every guest who walks in comments on how beautiful it looks. What really impressed me was their creativity and resourcefulness. They took the cutout from the fireplace and fabricated a gorgeous coffee table top from it, perfectly matching the aesthetic of the room. It's such a unique touch, and I love that they were able to repurpose the material so beautifully. They even took the time to ensure the hearth was flushed with my existing flooring as requested. The team was quick, professional, and right on time, which made the whole process seamless. They clearly know their craft and take pride in delivering top-notch results. Their price was also competitive compared to 3 other places I've quoted. If you're looking for high-quality stone fabrication with a team that's reliable and talented, The Stone Alchemist is the way to go. I'm already looking forward to working with them again on future projects!

    We recently had the pleasure of hiring The Stone Alchemist to restore and seal the stone floor in our bathrooms, as well as the stone tile in our shower, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. From our first interaction, Charvel, Luis, Mary and the whole team was not only highly professional but also respectful, courteous, and clearly dedicated to their work. They took the time to thoroughly explain the restoration and sealing process, answered all of our questions with patience, and treated our home with great care. Very happy with the results--the stone looks brand new, refreshed and clean! I wish I had called them sooner. It's refreshing to work with a company that combines deep expertise with such honesty, integrity and respect for their clients. Highly recommend The Stone Alchemist!

    Before - deep chip with multiple colors

    Responded quickly and came the next day. Luis and Marie are true artists, they spent four hours meticulously matching the colors and placement of my chipped quartz counter. I had to try to find it to take the after photo! Thanks again, truly are alchemists!

    The counter looks brand new!

    I have lived in my home for over 30 years and have hired many contractors and tradesmen. The Stone Alchemist is among the very best that I've ever hired. They did an incredible job and made my kitchen look brand new. Their kindness and their work ethic as well as their prices are exemplary. The fabricators who installed my quartzite two years ago did not do their job. Even after being sealed three times the court was flaking off. After The Stone Alchemist visit I feel like I finally have the brand new kitchen that I wanted. Hire them!

    Cabinet without a top and cabinet with new top

    These guys are the best at hand crafting a countertop. I had a pantry installed with a small cabinet next to it. The cabinet guy didn't include a countertop. Stone Alchemist had a remnant that was a very close match to our existing quartz countertops. He came and measured and returned with a roughed out piece and finished the final cutting at the house. There was a clearance issue with the pantry door so he came back and trimmed the little counter. Very reasonably priced for a little 14" by 14" counter.

    Area cut for stove !

Over the years, we have worked closely with Luis, and a few qualities have consistently stood out: he is always punctual, offers fair pricing, and delivers remarkable results. This time, we decided to move forward with a project Luis recommended: refinishing one of the wood laminate kitchen countertops in our rental unit. Initially, I expected the result to look like a simple repaint, especially considering how worn and faded the laminate surface had become. However, once I saw the finished work, I could hardly believe my eyes. It genuinely looked as though we had replaced the countertop with granite. The finish appeared solid, durable, and waterproof. Luis and his team did an outstanding job. I was truly blown away by both the quality of the workmanship and the final result. I only wish I had taken before-and-after photos, but judging by the many client photos already available, you can clearly see the level of quality they consistently deliver. Would I use Always Refinishing again and highly recommend their work? Absolutely: 100%.

And what a job he did! Needless to say, the transformation was remarkable. The pictures don't even do it justice, but it looks fantastic. Paul is a master craftsman, no doubt, but his pricing was also more than fair, and he truly went above and beyond. Consider this a wholehearted endorsement of Chestnut Coatings and Paul.

We knew that we needed an expert to complete the job without the risk of damaging them. We had a difficult decision to make and for this project, we obtained 7 quotes. After looking into each of the companies through the CSLB website, we found out that only four of them had a valid contractors license. We felt very comfortable with George, the owner of Jace. He has vast knowledge of hardwood floors with years of experience, has a friendly demeanor, and is a fellow dog rescuer. One of the other reviews mentions a customer's satisfaction with Jace's refinishing of their 100 years old floors. Though his quote was not the lowest, we chose quality over price. And we are so happy we did. Carlos, the lead tech on our project is also very knowledgeable and approachable. He answered all of our questions, and explained everything they were doing throughout the various stages of the process. Carlos's assistant, Jair is friendly and a hard worker. After the work was completed, Mike came to inspect the work, and grout the transition from our Dining Room to our kitchen. I didn't even have to ask them to do this. George suggested it to replace the ugly molding that was previously there, and on which we would frequently stub our toes. Mike returned a second time to drop off a complementary Bona cleaning kit. From the initial Yelp request to the finish of our project, George and his team were stellar, exceeding our expectations. Our floors look amazing, as if they were newly installed! I would recommend them to everyone in need of hardwood floor installation/refinishing/repairs. It is their specialty and their business name says so. Check out their work on Instagram @jace_floors
