Matt re-finished our worn out (see photos) 15 year red oak #2 floors and made them look brand new, using Bona Traffic HD and Bona sealant. Matt was easy to work with, a Shoreline local and has been in the business for over three decades. He was honest, fairly priced and met all the commitments. I would hire Matt again! read more

Matt and the team at Pro Tech were amazing. They removed our old carpet in the main living spaces and bedrooms to reveal the house's original 1939 red oak floors. They look so good! Matt even stepped out of his comfort zone and painted the risers on our mezzanine steps, which was greatly appreciated. All of the work was done in 4ish days -ahead of schedule. Thank you, Pro Tech! -Tessa and Andrew read more

Our white oak hardwood floors were new 15 years ago, but after that time with a family and pets, we were long overdue for a refinish, lots of scratches/roughness and a couple of significant discolored areas. I had a mild preference for water-based finish vs. Swedish finish, mainly because I'm not crazy about the harsh chemical smell of Swedish during the process. I also found out during the estimating process that Swedish tends to yellow over time which was not a preference of ours for this house. I had 5 businesses out for estimates (and to get educated). They were all nice and passionate about their craft. Three of them said they prefer to work with Swedish finish because it lasts longer (though water-based is apparently both a more expensive material and harder to apply so I wonder if those are reasons too). Pro Tech and one other business seemed experienced with water-based, and while Pro Tech was more expensive, they also seemed more knowledgeable, had the best plan for how to handle the fridge and had far more Yelp reviews so I went with them. We went for vacation and let Pro Tech go to work. They emailed us pictures each day and the result was great. The color change from Swedish to water-based was less yellow which we like a lot, and all the imperfections were gone. The floor looked practically new! And they had cleaned up well - most of the dust was gone - I was expecting it to be much more dusty. I still need to touch up my trim - there is a bit of floor stain on almost every board, so it will be a project - but that was discussed/expected and part of the deal. Overall a strong recommend for Pro Tech. ps- don't wait 15 years - we should have done this 5 ago at least. read more

Matt is fantastic !! I recently bought a home and there was a section of my living room with carpet. We wanted to change the carpets with matching hardwood. Many came, saw the work and went back saying - find the floors and I will install it for you. Matt was the only person who constantly followed up with me and helped me to find matching hardwood. He was recommended to me by my realtor and I am so glad I went with Matt. He is very quick to respond. He is very kind and reasonably priced! He did a fantastic work! More than anything he was willing to gave me a lot advice without any assurance. His advice helped me locate matching hardwood which I now realize is a Herculean task ! I will definitely recommend Matt for your flooring needs. read more

Pro Tech Hardwood Floor Service - It is hard to distinguish between the old and new hardwood floors. Fantastic work ! - Flooring Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

We renovated an older home with oak floors hidden by old carpet. The old finish was very worn and had areas that had been ruined by animal urine. Matt and his crew replaced the damaged wood and refinished all of the floors. The results are magnificent! He was prompt, professional and a true craftsman. I recommend Pro Tech without reservation. You won't find a better job for a competitive price anywhere else! read more

We hired Matt to refinish and repair hardwood floors in our new home in Seattle. We could not be happier with his work! He clearly knows his stuff and enjoys interacting with clients. He quickly responded to our initial query and always got back to us quickly if we had questions throughout the job. He went above and beyond to address some unique issues we had inherited with our floors. In addition to providing first-rate results, Matt is a great guy! Highly recommend. read more

Matt and his team did an excellent job refinishing our hardwood floors. He was also able to work on a tight timeframe for us before we moved into our new house. I contacted him, scheduled a bid for the next day, and he started work the next week (completed in 48 hours). We are very happy with the end result. Matt is honest with expectations, has been in the business since he was a kid working for his dad, and responds very quickly. We've already recommended him to friends and family interested in floor projects. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS, FAMILY & EVERYONE ELSE. Found Matt and Pro-Tech Hardwood Flooring on Angie's list and reached out to him along with other companies. Unlike the others, Matt went above and beyond by calling me back promptly, scheduling a free in-home estimate, gave me a detailed explanation of services and options, and even made a follow-up visit once I pulled up old carpets in the hallways. I like and appreciate that I was able to work directly with Matt, instead of a middle-man. Matt matched my 1952 red oak original hardwood and fixed damaged planks flawlessly. He finished my 3 bedroom, hallway, living room, and dinning room in two days! A whole day faster then originally estimated. The stain he used brought the red and natural patina of the red oak out (the floors were white, dull, and boring before!). I will definitely be using Pro-Tech again for my hardwood repairs and maintenance. I have a mother-in-law add on that will need new flooring and Pro-Tech will be my #1 choice! read more

I am a DIY'er and swapped out some stair treads. The stain I bought from another shop came out too dark, and the new treads didn't match my older flooring. I called up and spoke with Matt and told him right from the get-go I just had a question and it would not result in any opportunity from him, and he was completely receptive and offered me lots of advice. He even said I could call back if I have any other questions. If someone is this kind to a non-paying customer, that's indicative of them as a person and as a professional. I will look these guys up in the future when I need work! read more

Matt was willing to do a small stair repair for me; most companies didn't call me back or said my job was too small. He noticed that the size was just ever so off with our new stair nose vs the old damaged one and he was right. The company changed the size and we had to get a new custom one made. Matt has an eye for detail. He is friendly and professional! read more

Another shout out (although belated!) for Pro Tech Hardwood Floors and Matt Starbard. Matt and his team installed our floors last February. After the completed the job, painters came to finish our remodel. The painters left deep purple stains on our brand new floors...they tried to sand one spot out and made it worse (ugh). I reached out to Matt and he told me not to worry...that he would come and fix their screw up. He followed through, and I am so appreciative of him and the rest of the team. So professional and so kind. Thanks again to Matt for everything! You are the best!! read more

I came to Matt with very little notice and a short time line to boot. He squeezed me into his busy schedule, and proceeded to move quickly while still giving me the feeling of priority. We were hoping to refinish our 1920 home's original fir floors, but discovered that they were not in the best shape. Matt offered his expert opinion where decisions we're needed and offered a beautiful solution that kept us within our budget. I highly recommend Pro Tech and plan to refer Matt to all my interior design clients as well! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Matt is very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. Our old fir floors from 1909 were done for, due to past owners not knowing what they were doing. Matt was always prompt in replying, and clear in his communication. After welcoming 5 other contractors into our home to provide estimates, we hired Matt and Pro Tech to remove the old floors, lay plywood, install new pre-finished maple hardwood, and added in some custom made floor vents, as well as several hundred linear feet of pre-primed shoe moulding. We wanted it done right, expertly, on time, and fast. Matt and his crew delivered, and exceeded expectations. If anyone I know ever needs new hardwood floors, I'd immediately recommend Pro Tech Hardwood Floor Service. Do yourself a favor, and contact them. read more

Matt was fantastic. Because he had originally done the floors in our house before we bought it, I called him when I noticed that our floors became incredibly smudged and dull. Turns out, I had made the mistake of using Murphy's Oil Soap, which wreaks havoc on floors. He came over right away and told us immediately what was wrong. He advised us to use Bona, which made our floors shine like new. He didn't even charge us for his advice. A super decent, nice guy and very knowledgeable about floors. Thank you Matt, we will definitely get in touch if we decide to redo our floors in the future! read more

I could not be happier with Matt and the Pro Tech team. I called them for a "redo" of another contractor's work on the wood floors in my 1922 house. Matt and his team were responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. They clearly take pride in what they do. And the floors look great now. I would not hesitate to recommend them and I would certainly use them again. read more

It was such a joy to work with Matt and his team! I just purchased a new home and wanted to refinish the original 1925 fir floors before we moved in. He got back to me promptly, scheduled an estimate, and was able to get to work all within the week. Every interaction was excellent; Matt walked me through all the steps, explained his process and approach, and made sure I knew what to expect. They worked quickly and were highly respectful of the space. The finished product, while smelly, looks great. On communication alone, I'd highly recommend Pro Tech! read more

Matt at Protech handled a second job, quite large, for us in 2017-2019. Yes, the work spanned 20 months in a large restoration project. Super easy to schedule and get the right work done when needed. He worked around our crazy job sequencing and on different levels of the house without missing a beat. Lots of repairs and weaving in of different woods before finishing. Fir, white oak, red oak, custom thresholds and more. Matt sourced used/aged wood to better match the old wood in the 1909 house. Fixed a subfloor that was 'floating' and had no support. Everything was done as promised. Price was fair. The skill and craftsmanship were without equal. Matt cares about his work, the results, and his customers. Doesn't get any better than that! read more

Started a DIY hardwood refinishing job on our bathroom and thought I was in over my head. Called Pro Tech to have them finish things off, but he was honest and said it would be a couple of months. Knowing that I didn't want to wait, he gave me some great advice (including having me send in some pictures help match the color) and I was able to match up to the existing hardwoods. You'd never know that the bathroom hardwoods had been under gross vinyl floors for 15 years! Great customer service to a definite FUTURE customer! read more

ProTech was fantastic! Matt and his team gave us a good price, responded quickly to my questions, showed up on time, got the job done in the time estimated, and the final product is beautiful. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Can't say enough good things about Matt and Pro-Tech Hardwood Flooring. Prompt, courteous, responsive, good price, and great work. They also won't try to oversell you on work you don't need. Matt and his crew were able to lighten our previously stained floors to match what had been under carpet and blend in new wood in areas that needed replacement. Moving everyone and everything out of the house all at once was not an option for us during COVID and they were able to phase the work to accommodate. The work was done on time and within the time specified. The finished product is beautiful flooring throughout our house and we couldn't be happier. If you are even thinking about getting your floors refinished in the Seattle area, I highly recommend you consider Pro-Tech. You won't be disappointed. read more

We highly recommend Matt and his crew! We found Pro Tech on Angie's list after our original floor guy was very unprofessional and walked off the job leaving us with a partially completed pre-finished hickory install. Luckily, Matt and his crew were able to start right away. Their work was top notch and they even went above and beyond by replacing poorly done boards and removing the garbage the other guy left behind. Matt and his crew were very respectful and professional the entire time they were at our house. Matt made sure to find out exactly how we wanted the job done, and communicated with us anytime there were any issues or questions regarding how something was going to be done or what our preferences were. We are particularly fond of the stairs Matt rebuilt in our 1906 Craftsman home. They are now much safer and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for coming to the rescue Pro Tech! read more

Matt and his crew were really fantastic. They worked with me to do exactly what I needed in a short amount of time. What we thought would be a simple job we could squeeze in around the holidays, became a very difficult job of removing layers and layers of 1960s glue off of fir floors. Pro Tech guys worked tirelessly to reveal beautiful old growth fir and oak floors before I moved in to the house just after Christmas. The result was fantastic and their dedication to the job was impressive. I highly recommend ProTech. They are dedicated, professional, and skilled individuals. read more

Reached out to Matt on a consult for my damaged hardwood floor. Matt responded quickly, and gave me advice on both things that we could do to fix the scratches on my floor as well as to prevent further damage. What impressed me most than anything was that Matt actually gave me selfless advice to wait to have the floor scratches repaired until my kids grow older :) since my floor is delicate and likely to get scratched again. When I decide to move ahead with this work, I'll definitely reach out to Matt. read more

Matt was absolutely incredible. I had reached out to him a few times before we even engaged his company and he was able to give me some advice about our floors over the phone. Eventually we booked him and his company. I was very impressed by his experience as he was able to talk us through a number of similar jobs that he had completed and recommend solutions for us. Our home was built in the mid 40s and had some original fir and a large section that needed new flooring. The subfloor was a complete mess as well and needed to be replaced. His team was able to work around our schedule, restore the original fir floors, fix the subfloor, install new flooring, and fix a few spots of damaged wood. It all looks great and cohesive. He was very communicative throughout the whole process as we did have to leave the home for a few days. I absolutely would call Matt again if ever we need more floor work done. read more

Highly recommend! We had flooding in our kitchen and dining room, and the restoration company that we used suggested that we get someone to evaluate the damage to hardwood flooring as well. Our insurance send a different vendor to evaluate and they recommended refinishing the whole wood floor and gave an estimate. I wanted a second opinion, i reached out to Matt after seeing 5 star reviews in Yelp and in facebook groups. Matt was quick to respond to my call and set up an appointment. However after evaluating, he mentioned that there was hardly any damage to the flooring and that refinishing was unnecessary. We were pleasantly surprise to hear that - he knew we had insurance and could have given us a quote and we would have given him the work, but he gave us genuine advise which was beneficial for us and not necessarily for us. We ended up not opting for the refinishing work, but I have no doubts that I'll be hiring Matt and Pro tech for our next hardwood flooring project. Hard to find such a genuinely helpful small business! read more

Our oak hardwood floors were recently damaged by a leaky ice maker. After contact with some loser flooring contractors, I thankfully found Pro Tech! Matt, his son, and their team were so professional, timely and within our budget. They matched the color pretty much exactly to what we had, went above and beyond, and even completed the job before the end date! We couldn't be happier with Pro Tech and their services. Will definitely be using them for a future install! read more

Matt and his crew are reliable and highly skilled. They came on time, finished even more quickly than we expected, and our floors are now beautiful. They sanded and refinished the hardwood floors on our upstairs and main levels. The best thing was they agreed to do only part of each level at a time. That allowed us to move our furniture into one room and then move it again, a few days later, so we didn't need to move all the furniture completely out of the house. And we were able to live in the basement during the process, because the finish they used was water-based and low VOC. Matt also did a great job communicating, and checking in with us. read more

Matt removed the old carpet from my living room and hall. He replaced it with red oak. He also did the stairs at the entry. To make a good match they refinished the dining room and kitchen to match the new floor. My wife is very happy. I will hire again, this time in February to do the same to my three bedrooms. read more

Found Matt via Angie's list. He did a great job on our hardwood floors, was very clear about what to expect, showed up when he said he would, did what he said he'd do, including last minute moving some big furniture out of the way. Everything was very clean when he was done. He was very responsive to emails and questions. Price was reasonable too. read more

Matt and his crew where wonderful we HIGHLY recommend them! When obtaining estimates to replace carpeting with hardwood, Matt was the only one who talked to us about the type of flooring he recommended to match with the existing hardwood, service options, and details. When the day came for installation we could not have been more pleased!! The entire crew was out and finished the install in one day. They went above and beyond cleaning and talking to use about how to maintain the flooring etc. When we are ready to refinish the existing hardwood we will use Pro-tech again. I cannot say enough great things about Matt and his crew!! read more

We recently had our kitchen floors refinished and added new hardwood floors into our living and dining room. When we first met Matt it was easy to see right away he was very knowledgeable and provided great advice and suggestions. He was very communicative throughout the entire process which made us feel very at ease with our choice to use his company! Matt and his team were punctual and reliable. We chose a water base finish and we couldn't be happier. Our floors turned out beautiful! The weaving of the new floors with the old ones are seamless. We highly recommend Pro Tech to anyone considering having their floors done! read more

We hired Matt to refinish our oak floors in our 1947 Shoreline house and had an extremely positive experience. The floors had not been well cared for and were in rough shape. Matt gave us expert advice on how to approach the job and we wound up with a simply gorgeous end result. He was able to accommodate our very tight schedule. He and his team were punctual, courteous, very responsive, and amazingly efficient. He offered competitive and transparent pricing. Really could not have asked for a better experience all the way around. Very highly recommended for refinishing hardwood floors. read more
