They not only put up the porcelain tile on the walls and floors, but they also installed new counters, mirrors, toilets, and a shower and jacuzzi tub, as well as all the fixtures. (We selected and bought the tile, counters, shower base and tub, and fixtures separately.) Their care and attention to detail was outstanding! In addition, they are very considerate, warm, and friendly--extremely easy to work with! Highly recommended!

It was not a huge job and I'm glad he agreed to take it on. He started the work immediately and had it completed in short order. From the quality of the work, it is clear that I will trust Alex services for bigger jobs, interior and exterior. Alex Custom Tile has my full recommendation.

Tony did an amazing job with our floors! We had carpet floors upstairs and wood floors downstairs…read more Both were heavily stained with dog urine from the previous owners. We wanted to rip up the carpet, and restore or replace the hardwood underneath. We were on a super tight timeline to move in and get all the work done. Tony not only worked around all of our other contractors schedule but did all the work in such a high quality manor. I've been so impressed with how the floors turned out it feels like I'm in a completely different house. Tony was so nice and responsive, and he also took the time to salvage and piecework wood flooring planks that couldn't be saved so we could save as much money as possible. I cannot recommend Tony and his team enough!

Our sales rep, TJ, was helpful and informative in the showroom, and was patient with all our questions and multiple rounds of checking out samples until we made a decision on what we wanted. Eduardo and his team did the demo & installation in just two days. They were on time and did a great job, paying attention to all the details. We spent more than we had hoped, but it was well worth it. I would definitely recommend The Floor Store on Geary.

The store is unexpectedly massive with many great engineered hardwood flooring options. I arrived at the store in a mild crisis state as I was unhappy with the vinyl flooring selections our interior designer has recently picked out for the renovation of our house built during the Edwardian period. She picked this out because vinyl was "cost-friendly," but I quickly found out many great engineered hardwood sections that were cheaper and nicer looking than vinyl with TJ's help. TJ was chill, nice, and talked to my fiancé and me for two hours, educating us on engineered hardwood flooring and helping us pick out almost 4,000 sq ft of 4 different types of flooring for four different units to help us maintain the original beauty of the Edwardian building and stay under budget. We ended up saving over $10K switching from vinyl to engineered hardwood by purchasing from The Floor Store!

It was transformed from worn red concrete covered with multiple layers of chipped paint into a clean, modern, and updated entrance.

His communication, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout the entire process were greatly appreciated.

Most people promise results. John at Stone Improvement actually delivers…read more We've worked with other stone repair and maintenance professionals before, so we had a pretty good benchmark going in. John was, by far, the best we've experienced. We had stains in our limestone and porcelain that we were completely convinced were permanent. We had already given up on them. John came in, took a look, and somehow brought everything back to life. It honestly felt like walking into a different home once he was done. What I appreciated just as much as the results was how he worked. He was careful, respectful of our space, and clearly knows his craft inside and out. No rushing, no cutting corners, just really thoughtful work. He also took the time to explain how to care for everything going forward in a way that actually made sense and felt doable, not overwhelming or overly technical. We don't hand out glowing reviews lightly, but this one is well deserved. We'll absolutely be having John back.

Outerlands converted our lower-level unfinished garage into 500 sq ft of living space + finished garage + outdoor patio in a job that involved significant excavation work. I can confidently say Outerlands was a cut above the competition because the other bids (we talked to over 20 contractors) had significantly longer timelines, told us certain aspects of the project would not be possible (or within budget), and told us there was no way we could stay in the house during construction. Outerlands kept us in the house with minimal disturbance, finished on time / on budget, and made the whole process rather enjoyable. It was clear throughout that Outerlands has a very experienced and cohesive team. From design, to engineering, to permitting, to foundation work, to all the other subs, everything was seamless. In the 5 months of work, there were virtually zero non-productive days. Kelly ran the project with a real sense of ownership, keeping things moving, suggesting improvements, and problem solving through the unexpected (we found a massive muni pipe while digging). He's a true craftsman (take a look at his cabinets or stairs) with an eye for overall aesthetic. Sara turned our vague interior style preferences into a coherent plan, developing all kinds of options we hadn't considered, sourcing the finishings, and ultimately creating a space that we love. Taking on this kind of project to our residence was a major financial and lifestyle decision, but we couldn't be happier with the look and feel of the finished product, and we are so grateful to Outerlands being such a wonderful partner to work with.

Harry and his team did an outstanding job on our hardwood floors. We had the floors cleaned,…read morerepaired, and coated with Bona Traffic HD, and the results exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, Harry stood out from the other contractors I contacted. His quote was not the lowest, but after walking through the house with him, I felt confident that he knew exactly what he was doing. He took the time to assess the floors properly, explain the options, and provide honest recommendations rather than trying to upsell unnecessary work. The quality of the work was excellent. The floors look beautiful, and I have not found a single issue with the finished product. What I especially appreciated was Harry's attention to detail and professionalism. He repaired several floorboards, completed a few closets that we had not even specifically discussed, and took care of a couple of additional items he discovered along the way without making a big deal about it. Those small touches showed real pride in his work. The project was completed on a tight timeline before our move-in, but Harry never gave the impression that he was rushing. Instead, he spent the time necessary to do the job correctly and delivered a result that genuinely transformed the floors. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, detail-oriented, and takes pride in delivering quality work, I would highly recommend Harry. The experience was smooth from start to finish, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Great management, fair price and even better results! Harry…read moreand team were terrific to work with. Harry's can-do attitude and clear communications sold me on choosing Hi-Tech Hardwood Floors. He walked me through all color/finish options and laid out the overall hardwood floor resurfacing process, prior to the work starting. Once under way, they hit every benchmark and even came back afterwards for some minor touch-ups to really perfect the job. I couldn't be happier with the final outcome! So glad I went with Hi-Tech Hardwood Floors, and I wholeheartedly give them my highest recommendation.

I was a bit concerned about how it would turn out since there were so many issues, but I'm thrilled to say that our floor looks fantastic now! There was so much work that they needed to do- boards removed, replaced cracked thresholds, etc., and the team handled it all. They took special care to ensure that our home was protected from dust and debris before starting the job and stuck to the schedule and price that they quoted. What's more, Arman even picked up and dropped off all of the material (wood) for us. Five stars all the way, look no further!
