    Old floors - tile / carpet

    We recently hired Mike and his sons to do flooring in our living room and entryway. We went from tile and carpet to engineered hardwood. They did a great job and were extremely professional. Mike provided samples that checked all of our boxes as far as affordability and specifications. We initially wanted LVP but decided to go with engineered hardwood due to our toddlers severe eczema and allergies. We indicated that we wanted moderately crunchy/healthy certifications with regard to the flooring type and he exceeded our expectations with a flooring we could afford that also had certifications / compliance for low VOCs, Carb II, floor score, Lacey Act, durability etc. Mike was very accommodating throughout the installation process and we appreciate how much he kept in contact with us. We hope to work with them in the future on other parts of our house and that they continue to service the East Bay for years to come!!

    They even replaced my old floor vent and put a wood one to blend in with the floors. Very detailed

    I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I had to share my experience with Mike and his team. They really were fantastic to work with--genuine, great guys that are hardworking and truly passionate about their family-owned business, which is evident in the quality of their work. Mike went above and beyond, offering great advice on important decisions like baseboards and finishes. The final result was impressive, and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. We will definitely be using them for future projects!

    Their attention to detail is commendable

    Overdue review!!!! Mike and his team went above and beyond with my stair treads, baseboard and trim installations. Their prices are extremely reasonable, the communication is amazing, and their workmanship is top notch. I cannot praise this company enough. I recommend them without reservation!!!

    Flooring

    Mike and his sons redid my floors and they look beautiful. Super hardworking and nice people.

    After (contrast isn't as much in person)

    We had our floors and staircases refinished. They were the original hardwood from the 70s and had been stained a dark brown color with a shiny finish. We were debating refinishing them vs. replacing it to get a lighter color. We decided to go with refinishing after our consultation with them. For the consultation: Michael really spent time explaining our options when they did the initial consultation. He was clear about any limitations and steered us away from things that wouldn't look as nice with some of the more unique aspects of the house (like our floating staircase). He was also clear about what the final color would look like, even though it was different than what we initially had in mind. By the time they started the work, we had a really clear idea of what was going to be done and what the final outcome would be. We also appreciated that their quote was very clear and itemized. We had no surprises. Pricing was very fair too - comparable to other vendor quotes we got with more confidence that they itemized everything we'd need. The job: They were able to start quickly and got everything done before move in, just on time with what they estimated. Throughout the job, their communication was great. They let us know which days to coordinate our move in logistics. They double checked on the swatches of staining/finishing options with us. They made recommendations on some of the finer details, like base boards and carpet trims without being pushy. You can tell they really care about your home looking as good as it can. We loved the result. Overall, just really great and friendly people to work with. This is a small family business (Mike and his sons Michael and Matthew), which we really appreciated.

    Before repair

    Recently purchased a new to me home with engineered wood floors. Unfortunately on one of the dining room chairs the protector on the leg came off, and before we noticed there were multiple obvious scratches on the floor. The house didn't come with any extra floor boards to swap out. I thought this would be permanently damaged and unsightly, because engineered wood floors can't be sanded and refinished like hardwood. Mike and his son went the extra mile and worked with me to repair the damage to the maximum extent possible. Mike asked his son to take this on. His son is a true artist, and managed to blend in patch materials and colors that now at a regular viewing angle the scratches are no longer visible, you pretty much have to be crouching on the floor to see them. Mike's son also replaced all the feet on the chairs with more durable ones so this won't happen again. I definitely recommend Mike and his son if you accidentally damage an engineered wood floor.

    Mike and his sons just completed our floors and we couldn't be happier. They did a wood install and refinished kitchen and hall to match our existing rooms. We had several bids but we really wanted the business owner to work on our floors rather than employees. This was a wise decision! Like everyone says- they are punctual, and communitive, and are craftsmen. They care about their work and go the extra mile. I wish I knew about them when we had our first install. We will be calling them back to do more rooms.

They offered a very competitive rate/price without any hidden charges. Also, what I like about his approach was his attention to detail. He laid out the sequence of steps he needed to do and followed through above and beyond. Now prior to me visiting their show room, I went to REPUBLIC warehouse and picked (took picture) SPC vinyl type that I wanted for my house. Richard was very accommodating when I told him, I wanted a specic vinyl. He just asked for the picture and info of the Vinyl that I wanted, and did all the logistics behind the scene. During the installation process days, Richard and his team (I remember Matt and Tony), were always punctual and efficient. They were very meticulous and worked section by section of my house. They moved the furniture, removed the carpet and baseboards, cleaned the floor, leveled uneven sections, and installed high quality anti-moisture (instead of plastic alternative), installed the vinyl, upgraded my baseboard and even did some paint job post installation. My family and I were very happy, satisfied, and thankful to Richard and Crystal flooring. As such, I highly recommend him to everyone. Please just schedule a quick chat with Richard or visit them in their show room. If you're planning to upgrade, this will be the best choice you'd ever make :)

The team at TSP…read moreRemodeling didn't just do a beautiful job on our home--they showed a level of kindness and humanity that I will never forget. While they were at our house replacing our carpet with hardwood floors, my dog Fiona accidentally got out. I wasn't home at the time and got a call saying she had escaped. My heart dropped and I rushed home in a panic. I immediately went to the park where I always walk her, searching and calling her name. There was no sign of her. I ran up and down the street, then went back to the park and called her name even louder. Suddenly, from across the park, I saw Fiona running as fast as she could straight toward me. At the same time, a man named Anthony got out of his car and ran toward her to help. When I finally picked Fiona up, I was so overwhelmed with relief and gratitude that I asked him if I could give him a hug. When I got back to the house, I found out something that touched my heart even more -- the entire crew from TSP Remodeling had actually stopped working and went out searching for Fiona to help bring her home safely. These men took time away from their jobs just to help me find my dog. That kind of compassion is rare, and it meant the world to me. And on top of all that, they did absolutely stunning work on our floors. We replaced our carpet with hardwood flooring and it turned out beautiful. The craftsmanship, the care, and the professionalism are top notch. I want to give the biggest thank you and shoutout to TSP Remodeling and the entire crew, especially Anthony. Not only are they incredibly skilled at what they do, they are truly good-hearted people. I will never forget what they did for me and Fiona. Thank you for bringing my baby home and for making our home so beautiful.

He came and installed quickly and efficiently. No more leaks! Additionally, I had been in the process of installing new Subzero and Wolf appliances in the kitchen. The company has very strict requirements for installation of the refrigerator. Upon inspection, it was determined that the above refrigerator cabinet had to be raised to accommodate the new refrigerator hight. Also, the electrical outlet needed to be moved up several feet because all the electrical workings sit on top of the refrigerator, rather than below like most refrigerators. Chuey was able to make the necessary changes BUT, it didn't stop there! Because Subzero suggests a "built in" look for esthetics, I needed to add panels to fill a small gap. I could have purchased panels from Subzero for an added cost but Chuey was able to create a wood panel and stain it to match existing wood cabinets. This also required the crown molding on top the cabinets had to be added to fit the new changes. Chuey was able to find moldings and stained this to match. Chuey managed to work around both our busy schedules and this was much appreciated. I am very happy with my new appliances and all the extra work Chuey did to retrofit and create a beautiful esthetics in the kitchen! I would recommend Chuey and plan on more projects for his handy work!

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.
