    After

    Our cast iron tub chipped recently and we needed someone to repair it. After talking with a few companies, we decided to go with Jack. One of the things we liked about Jack was that he asked specific questions and elaborated the logistics on the phone without wasting his or our time. He was quite knowledgeable - and his prize was also reasonable. Overall, the lasting impression was a positive one. A person of integrity demeanor is the best way to describe Jack. Jack showed up on time and went over the process with us. Even our cat showed interest in what Jack had to say : ) We appreciated that he did not send a worker but that he came himself to do the work. The process took 2 hours to complete. He did not rush the work and worked as if it was his own bathtub. We can't tell where the existing damage was and the paint has been matched accurately. The overall execution is 10/10. Another plus - Jack cleaned up immensely well after himself.

    Jack's finished work before hardware was reinstalled!

    We are very happy with the bathtub reglaze project Jack Switala did at our house - it looks like a new tub!

Our painting team, headed by Manny, was outstanding. While officially he was the lead painter on the crew, he unofficially served as onsite PM, keeping me informed of daily progress and overall status. He and his painters were onsite when they said they would be, careful of the property, left everything tidy and secure at the end of each day, and addressed every detail, no matter how small to my satisfaction. The finished work is everything I hoped it would be and I could not be happier. In our first meeting Joe asked me what would make this job a slam dunk. I told him that I wanted the process to be easy for me, and for the results to look genuinely professional vs a DIY or handyman job. They absolutely nailed my requirements. Woodiwiss was 10/10 for us. (Regarding the photos, don't judge the wood pillars. They are intentionally unpainted and will be re-stained in a different project.)

It was about 11pm so I didn't expect a response until the next morning but I got rapid fire responses and was able to schedule an appointment the following week after confirming a few details (namely, insurance to cover the table if it is damaged) I wanted to re-finish an epoxy resin waterfall table that I messed up on and wanted to restore its matte finish. The table was picked up and I was told to expect it to be done within 1 week. About a week went by, I checked in for any updates and pictures and was told they just put on the first coat. Another week went by and the second coat was applied but was told the issue prior to the work is still visible. I was then upsold to switch to CV (previous was using rubio/osmo to finish). Being fairly unknowledgable about finishes, I asked a few questions and was just told it was better. I did some basic research (chatgpt, reddit, youtube, etc.) and was fine with it. It cost an extra $100 but the labor to re-sand the surface to remove the rubio applied was covered. All in all, about 3 weeks went by and I received the refinished product. Overall, I it looks as I wanted it to. Mauricio handled the initial pickup and subsequent re-delivery so the process is very convenient if you are busy and don't want to plan how to transport heavy furniture. Some notes: - Its best to reach out via text message to Mauricio and to do so at some regular cadence if you want updates. Perhaps calling would be more expedient if you have the time. - There's a lot of promises or statements that were not followed through (e.g. I'll send an invoice by end of day, I'll send updated pictures by end of day, etc.). See first point. - Estimate may be over-exaggerated. The project went from 1 week to 3 weeks. - It would be nice to do a pros/cons breakdown or simply spend a few sentence educating clients on the trade off of finishes (e.g. Rubio vs Osmo, Rubio vs CV, etc.).

Jonathan was an incredible person and super nice - really personable and his wife was also the most responsive person ever - always quick to answer questions and provide the quote/invoice right away as promised. I hired them to finish up flooring since I had some injuries and couldn't finish up the work and their quality and speed was phenomenal. I have an eye for attention to detail and their crew was above and beyond in how they did the flooring, going the extra mile for things that normally would be a quick shortcut for contractors hoping the customer would miss it but they didn't take any shortcuts. They were reasonably priced - not the highest or the lowest quote but Jonathan was what sold us on the work and we're more than happy to have gone with him and have recommended him to other neighbors. There's a reason why they are so backed up with work! They're popular for a good reason. They're finishing up the work today and the guys are respectful, clean up after themselves and super nice to chat with. Definitely would recommend Jonathan and his crew to anyone looking to have the best flooring done the right way. Just like their slogan says!

It was installed when we built the house and had not been refinished in 35 years. It was badly marked up from hospice care wheelchair and hospital bed marks. The original natural Bona finish coats were worn through to the wood in high use areas, and there was a lot of water damage in the kitchen from leaks over the years. It was time to repair damaged boards, sand down to the wood, and refinish. After getting several bids we decided to go with Hardwood Floors by Jonathan Gayer, (925) 235-1222, 2033 Belford Dr, Walnut Creek, CA. Jonathan did the work while we were out of town on a trip. Upon returning we were absolutely delighted to see flooring throughout the whole first floor that looked as good or better than the original installation 35 years ago. Jonathan and his wife Eva (who handles the business side) were a pleasure to work with and very trustworthy. The work got done just when they said, and their price was a fair one.

The work was sloppy, unprofessional, and did not meet the quality that was promised. Hinges were installed crookedly, handles were poorly aligned, and the overall finish was below acceptable standards. When I raised my concerns, I was offered no real solutions except to have the same technician, Andy, return -- despite my clear communication by email and phone that I was uncomfortable with him coming back due to the poor quality of his initial work. I was also told to "be flexible" and to accept his call, which felt dismissive and unfair. I waited several days for follow-up and was given no other options, no guarantees, and no timeline for resolution. I still have no confidence that the work will be corrected properly, and I am now left with an unfinished, unsatisfactory job and no clear next steps. I cannot recommend N-Hance Canada based on this experience. I expected professional work and responsive customer service, and unfortunately, I received neither.
