Lovely customer service from both of them, and they are very friendly. I had my kitchen and master bathroom countertops refinished, and they look upgraded and brand new! The alternatives to fixing the outdated look of my countertops would have been exorbitant; this was the easiest and least expensive method to upgrade! Kudos to Paul and his assistant, Lars, for doing a stellar job on my countertops. Paul has 30 years of experience, and he is not only knowledgeable, but he was helpful to me in other areas of maintenance that had nothing to do with the refinishing. A professional expert who went the extra mile for me. I would recommend this team to anyone! High marks for sure.

We had a bath tub refinished by Miracle method. They cleaned the tub, but did not remove the…read moreplumbers putty around the drain. When the job was complete, I was able to wipe off the new coating as easily as removing playdoh. They removed the overflow drain cover during the prep / etching process. Then put it back on and masked it off during the glazing process, so the area behind the overflow was not glazed. When I went to put my new overflow cover on, I found they just glued the old one one. When I removed it, it took the brand new glazing finish off with it. The bolt was broken that holds this cover on, they just glued the bolt head on to mask the problem. This bolt also holds the drain pipe to the tub, without it, water will leak behind the tub, cause mold and possible flooding to the downstairs neighbor. Update, about a week later. I extracted the broken bolt from the drain pipe using a little PB Blaster, heat and working back and forth. MM sent a more experienced tech to re-do the previous job. Looks fine now. Considering the mistakes that were made, and the cover up to hide the broken bolt, I'm not changing my review rating. The first tech clearly had no common sense, not what I would expect from a $1k paint job.

I reached out to fill in some holes that longhorn beetles that were already infested in the…read morefurniture ate its way through. There were 2 holes about the size of a pinky and the cavity is about the size that could fit my thumb up to its nailbed. I reached out to a few folks and got quotes. Given my prior positive experience, I reached out to Mauricio to see if this could be done. I also noticed 2 holes that I'm not sure if it was there when I first got the furniture or if something else bore out. These were about the size of a dull pencil tip but on the underside of the furniture. Mauricio was extremely patient with me upon getting the details as I was considering getting a second opinion from some local exterminators on the risk of another emergence. Eventually, I figured out some details and booked an appointment. Everything was quickly scheduled with Edgar who arrived on time promptly and quickly went to work fixing the 4 holes. By the time it was finished, I could only vaguely guess where the holes were. To someone who didn't know about the holes, it would look almost natural. All in all, this took roughly an hour or so to complete. Edgar was sure to clean up after himself and laid out some paper padding to capture any mess left behind and prevent it from touching the floor. Overall, I was happy with the price and quality of work done.

I sent photos of the damaged area and asked for an approximate price. I completely understand that…read morethe final price can only be determined after an in-person inspection, but I just wanted a general price range to know what to expect, since I have no idea how much this type of repair normally costs. Instead of giving me even a rough estimate, they kept sending me appointment times. I explained that I'm in another city and didn't want to drive two hours without knowing whether the repair might cost $300, $500, $800, or $1,000. After I explained this, they again simply sent me available appointment times, almost like a scripted response. Unfortunately, the communication was not helpful, so I decided to look for another company.

The repairman was able to come out, he spread blankets out to cover my floor and ensure the dust wouldn't get all over the place. He estimated repairs would take about two hours, but it was done in one. He even reinforced the leg to make sure it wouldn't collapse like it had before. (It had very ambitiously been stapled into place and it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did.) He was even able to put a new dust cover into place since the previous one had gotten shredded by the leg and then my cat. There was no mess left when he was done, and he walked me through every step as he was working. 10/10, definitely recommend. I also booked an heirloom coffee table to be picked up and refinished. I cannot wait to see it come back to life like my armchair did.

When he announced he was ahead of schedule, what can you do but smile and accommodate. Jeremiah installed new wood floors on our rotunda upstairs landing laying the wood in a clock hand format which required a lot of time and patient cutting. Downstairs he installed new wood in two rooms and refinished floors that were 15 years old that 3 others had told me could only be replaced not refinished.

We had a mix of top-nailed oak, tongue and groove oak, and carpet. The Strong team came in, ripped out the carpet, did clean prep work, then put down new oak floors to match the old. They repaired water damaged areas on the old floors. Finally, they came back, sanded it all down, applying coat after coat of stain, sanding each time. It all matches beautifully. The house looks gorgeous now. Oops, I said that already. Well, it does, so there. What I especially like: 1. On schedule. 2. Professional (on time, cleaned up after themselves, polite, hard-working). 3. The old and new floors match perfectly. 4. The moulding is precise and finished cleanly. 5. Sliding on the floor like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. 6. Reasonably priced for anybody, and fantastically priced for the quality of work. 7. Not dusty at all. 7. The house looks GORGEOUS.

Lucky for us because 15 years ago he was 1-1/2 times more expensive than what we paid recently at a different shop for better quality material and similar craftsmanship. We found Tri-Valley Upholstery (TVU) in Pleasanton after searching and doing some research. My wife reached out via e-mail to inquire about the work we needed and later followed up with pictures. Tri-Valley gave us an estimate and we scheduled an appointment to bring in one chair for evaluation and finalized specifics. We met with Eduardo who was very helpful, energic and enthusiastic. We picked out the material, received a sample, approved the material and scheduled the project. TVU did a beautiful job on reupholstering 6 chairs with a really nice piece of leather. Seats are taunt, tucked perfectly around the chair backs and the bead is spot on. There was a real minor tweak on 3 chairs that TVU took care of quickly. Dropped the chairs off and the next morning they were completed. Eduardo and his team are talented, very responsive, knowledgeable and produce quality work to make customers happy. If you need something reupholstered, give Tri-Valley Upholstery a try. You won't be disappointed and they are priced well.

I wanted to keep the natural wood look of my vanity, so I chose to have it stained rather than painted. Since I was updating my bathroom with blue-green tile, they recommended a darker stain to complement the new colors. I was hesitant because I don't typically gravitate toward darker finishes, but they reassured me that it would be the best choice. I was nervous about the decision, but the finished vanity turned out beautiful, and I'm so glad I trusted their recommendation! My one piece of advice for anyone choosing a stain color is to ask for a test spot on the actual wood being refinished, rather than relying solely on a wood sample. I didn't do that, and the final color came out darker than I expected. Fortunately, I still love how it looks! Overall, I had a great experience with Madera Cabinets. They were responsive, helpful, and did beautiful work. I would definitely recommend them!

Josê and his team did a beautiful job of painting seven items, including a large bureau, two mirrors, and a desk with many nooks. They quoted a very reasonable price compared to others, and did not charge a "Palo Alto premium" as many do. José is a good communicator and he has a skillful and friendly team. I could not be more pleased. They gave the dark furniture several coats of Benjamin Moore white dove. Along with lighter walls and carpet, the room has been transformed in such a magical way that I can hardly bear to leave it. They did magnifient work and were not overpriced. Such a pleasure to find such true and honest artisans in this area.
