Elvia and her team refinished our front door and did an amazing job. She was very responsive on text and gave a very fair estimate. It was clear she knew exactly how to take care of the door and she also solved a minor lock issue we were having. Her work exceeded our expectations - our 18 year old door looks brand new thanks to their work. read more

I was a client of Caldeira Refinishing for years and relied on them to maintain my front door. 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. read more

Our front door is a beautiful mahogany wood door that had taken a beating in the sun. We searched and were so fortunate to find Caldeira Front doors to restore our weather beaten door. Liz came by and provided an estimate along with some homes in the area that they had refinished the front doors. We were impressed so moved forward and the whole process was so easy from start to finish and the door looks amazing! Highly recommend! read more

We used them to refinish our front doors in 2020. We forgot that we paid for the two year follow up service. When I called them to schedule, I discovered that they were no longer in business. My wife found out that they are now Barrera's Refinishing. I called the new number and Elvia, apparently, purchased the business from the previous owner. She said that she would honor the follow up service. We just had to pay for materials. I was very happy with that because we paid $200 in advance. We made an appointment and she did a great job. I won't forget to schedule our next two year service. read more

Our solid oak front door was looking pretty sad to the point I got an estimate and was planning to paint it black to match house trim. It just seemed criminal to cover all the wood grain of this once beautiful door. I started to research on YELP and found Caldeira Refinishing. As noted by other reviewers Caldeira Refinishing is no longer in business. I, too, read that one of the employees ( partner?) Elvia Barrera had started her own business. I called Elvia and from start to finish was amazed. She showed as scheduled, explained her process and gave me a reasonable estimate. For the duration of the project (one week) she was on time given schedule she provided, was neat in her work area and gave my door and hardware the TLC it needed. The finished product exceeded my expectations. If you are considering this type of project, call Elvia 510 584-8933. read more

We relied on Caldeira for initially refinishing and then maintaining our oak doors for over twenty years before they retired. Recently we learned that Elvia Barrera, their co-worker of 7 years, is carrying on their service with her own company. She revarnished our doors and they look great, every bit as great as when the Caldeiras did it. She was reliable and professional. Highly recommend you contact her to care for your wood doors. Contact her at 510-584-8933 or barrerarefinishingco@gmail.com read more

We had used Caldeira Refinishing Company for approximately 18 years and were always happy that they could maintain our wood doors. Once we learned that they had retired we thought we would likely have to replace our doors to have them look as good as this company made them....then, like others, we learned about Elvia Barrera who began her own company! She stripped, re stained and varnished our doors (and polished our very distressed brass hardware) and everything looks fabulous-we are thrilled with her work and HIGHLY recommend her. She is very hard working, professional, takes pride in her work and is committed to customer satisfaction. She is very responsive to text/call to 510-584-8933 and will come to see your doors, let you know what she can do and provide a quote. read more

I had my 20 year old doors refinished last year by Caldeira. They look absolutely beautiful. My out of town children thought that we got new doors! When we had a problem with settling, and the doors not opening and closing properly they came back and fixed them free of charge. Joel and Liz are very courteous and efficient, as well as safe with Covid precautions. I highly recommend this company. read more

This review is about their commitment to satisfying a customer. Our front door when it was refinished had a dark stain instead of a lighter stain that originally was on it. We were distressed. They came through redid the finish at no extra cost. Now after the first rain the door looks just as shiny. They exceeded my expectations. Whole heartedly recommend them. read more

Great job guys! I was concerned that the well-worn cherry finish cabinet doors at my condo were too far gone to be refinished but Liz and her team made them look like new again. Thank you! read more

We had our front door refinished by Caldeira. It had been at least 30 years since the door was touched, so it needed help. It took a little over a week, and the whole process took place as planned. The door turned out beautifully. It looks new. read more

They did an exceptional job refinishing our front door. It is so pretty and actually looks nicer than when we first purchased it.

We've had Caldeira refinish our front doors three times now because we are on their program to keep them looking new. We do this every two years and the outcome has always been superb. We just completed the last touch up three weeks ago. Caldeira is the only exterior door refinisher in this region I would go to for this kind of work. They are thorough and expert in their attention to detail. read more

We had Caldeira refinish our entry double doors three years ago. The doors were in a very poor state from water and sun. They took the doors out for ten days to refinish and they came back looking brand new. We just had them touched up on site, one day sanding, followed by two days varishing. Again, they look brand new. Kudus to Elvia who did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Caldeira Refinishing! read more

They broke my lock and spy hole, I left four voice messages for Liz within four months she did not return my calls, she is hiding behind her voice message system. Check it out yourself she would never pick up a phone. Caldeira Refinishing is super expensive and pushed to you by corrupt HOA management company Willis Management Group, Inc. read more

They are FANTASTIC!! My double entry doors were a mess after Carpet One hired someone to fix and ?refinish? the damage they had done. The ?refinisher? did such a horrible job that we were told the doors had to be replaced. After seeing reviews on Yelp, I contacted Caldeira Refinishing, and had them redo my doors. I keep getting complements on the job that Caldeira did. Typical comment is "where did you buy your new doors, they are beautiful." Owner Liz Caldeira is fantastic! Five stars is not high enough for this company. read more

Have a huge job of refinishing all of my kitchen cabinets and the cabinets in 2 bathrooms. I guess this place doesn't need the business because they never even bothered returning my phone call/message. Will take my business elsewhere. read more

Our solid oak front doors were damaged by water and sun and looked destroyed. Everyone we asked recommended we replace the doors ... they were a total loss. Caldeira thought differently. Given the quality of the solid wood doors they suggested having them restored. One week after they removed the doors Caldeira returned to the house and reinstalled what are the most beautiful doors in the neighborhood. Their work is perfect. I could not recommend a better craftsman than Caldeira. read more

I'm beyond pleased with Caldeira's work on my front door. It looks amazing! They are professional and lovely and I highly recommend them.

I've been using Caldeira to maintain my original oak doors for over 12 years now. Just recently, I used them to strip off my old varnish & stain, and re-stain with a darker (Espresso) stain. The results were fantastic. The front doors look brand new, and the new color is beautiful (thank you Liz!). I highly recommend Caldeira to anyone who wishes to save & beautify their solid wood front doors. read more

Our front door was weather beaten and peeling...the sun and rain just beat on it even with an over hang. Liz at Caldeira Refinishing and her husband did a great job!! Very professional. When they said they would be there they were...when they said it would be done it was. I even drove to their shop in Dublin to make sure I would like the stain they were using before it was applied. I would use them again and again!!! read more

The owner not only is not professional, not talented, a theif, but lies as well. I took time off work for a scheduled appointment for her and her husband to come fix the lock for a second time on Friday April 6th and they didn't even show up. I called a number of times and they didn't even answer the phone. They basically took my money for shoddy work. Save youself the trouble and find a reputable vendor...having a door that doesn't work is a hazard to all in the home. I have hired a reputable vendor and am happy with his work. read more

Great service. Fantastic looking doors.. Expensive to get the doors refinished, but it turns out to be a lot of work.. they earn it.

I thought I would have to replace the doors on our house, however, Liz and team did an amazing job and were able to bring them back to life. I have never seen the doors look so good. read more

Great service, great price! Love this company!! My door looks and works better than when it was brand new.

The folks at Caldeira just restored my mahogany door, sidelights and threshold to as good as new. It was i pretty sad shape at the time, but two weeks later the door and sidelights look fantastic. I highly recommend them read more

Beautiful job! Our 20 year old hardwood doors were a mess, and now they are gorgeous! Thanks so much for your excellent work. Great customer service. I am picky picky picky...and I am so glad I selected the Caldeiras for our door refinishing. Thanks! read more

I have a beautiful Oak front door with two side panels and a large decorative half circle on top which I had Liz and John refinish over 20 years ago. When I decided to refinish it again they were definitely my go to people for this job. I loved the job they did 20 years ago and I was even more pleased this time around when they returned my door looking like it did when it came out of the Feather River Showroom. They are extremely pleasant people to work with and their team, Hector and a young lady, were so professional and very meticulous. You will have to undergo about a ten day time span where a piece of wood is securely put in the place of your door and you won't be able to have access to your home through this entrance for these ten days. But it is well worth it as they truly brought my door back to life during this time frame. Thank you for a job well done. read more
