Taylor's Floor Restoration

Carmen and her partner Octavio did an amazing job transforming the floors inside our home! My wife…read moreand I recently bought a fixer-upper with Spanish clay tiles that had been neglected for years. We had two main goals: first, we wanted to remove the dark stains that felt outdated and clashed with the modern Spanish interior vibes we were going for. Second, the tiles desperately needed to be resealed - walking around barefoot felt rough, and we were constantly collecting dust on our feet. The job Carmen and Octavio did was fantastic. Over five days, they meticulously stripped off the dark stains and took the time to properly reseal the tiles. Afterward, walking around barefoot felt incredibly smooth and uniform. The floors themselves look so much brighter now and beautifully complement the warmer colors inside our home. The price we were quoted was very reasonable compared to other alternatives, and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking to have your floors restored, we highly recommend Taylor's Floor Restoration!

My Mexican porch tiles, which had started to show significant signs of wear and fading over the years, have been completely transformed by Taylor's Floor Restoration. I am absolutely thrilled with the results; the tiles now exhibit a vibrant, 'like-new' finish that has dramatically enhanced the beauty and character of my entire porch area. The difference is truly remarkable, exceeding all my expectations. From the moment I first contacted them, the team at Taylor's Floor Restoration demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. They were a pleasure to work with, meticulously explaining every step of their specialized restoration process. Their transparency and clear communication instilled confidence throughout the project. What particularly impressed me is that Taylor's is a family-owned and operated business, and this personal touch is evident in their dedication to quality craftsmanship. For anyone looking to revive their flooring, especially specialized materials like my Mexican tiles, I wholeheartedly recommend their expertise. They provide their excellent services across a wide area, from Ventura all the way to Santa Barbara.

So I set out to research how to have someone "hone" my counters. Bingo! found a local guy who came and did the job for me only to realize marble still etches (stains you can't get out). UGH!! Everytime you use any type of citrus that could spray onto the counters ( think squeezing a little lime into a gin and tonic!) There's just no avoiding it and boy is it irritating! it's an instant stain you will never get out! Long story, but I just happen to see a commercial on TV talking about "Tuff Skin", basically a coating that protects your counters and can't etch! BINGO! and it comes in shiny or "honed"......it's a dream! it never etches and my marble counter looks perfectly new! In addition, it's much cheaper than replacing the counter which I mulled over for months! Also, the company that provides this is the only company in Santa Barbara county licensed to do this and they are incredibly professional, on-time and they will go out of their way to make sure everything is done to perfection. I really couldn't be happier!!

I am sorry i don't have before and after but will try to find some older images and update. Here is what you need to know: 1. Skip gives the estimate. He and Brandee are the owners. They are the only ones in the area with the license for the TuffSkin. 2. They used a low dust diamond like abrasive tool to get out the etches often from glasses and citrus. Keep in mind we had a DIFFERENTcompany come out a year before hand and they made a mess, did not get all of the etching out and peeled off our custom tape in their hurry to take down plastic. Low dust, Precision and Attention to Detail. And they got out the etching!! 3. Then they put on the Tuff Skin that can then withstand citrus, many chemicals and heat. It cannot take scratching from moving a computer around or such. We don't know what caused all the scratching. I prefer the scratches to the etching, though and the place looks great!! 4. We had a few speedbumps and Skip handled it like a pro. This is the test of a great business. We are so grateful to Skip, Brandee, his foreman and team for their diligence, care and integrity!. I would recommend them 100% and indeed I have!

After nothing for 30 minutes past the time, I call and they said they would be there in 20 minutes. Shows up one hour past the scheduled time...it happens, I understand, but maybe you should at least apologize and give me a heads up? Apologizing after I call you out is not comforting. Very nice in person, Takes measurements and discusses. This was a Friday, so I understand we might not get the estimate soon. I'm told, if not this weekend, I'll get it to you by Monday eod. No worries, that's reasonable. Heck, it can be any day, just do what you promise. Monday nothing. Tuesday nothing. Call Wednesday. Says I'm really busy, No apology until I call them out on what they promised. I didn't set the expectation, they did. I tell them, if we don't even have a contract and you're being like this, what am I to expect? Next day, I get a text about the room to be done, is it upstairs or downstairs, and the bathroom, is it being done? I'm totally confused, we never spoke about a bathroom and the room is upstairs. I get the quote finally. It's ~$30k more than another quote I got from a 5 star Yelp business. WTH. Looking deeper into the quote, it's talking about terracota tile and grout...we never spoke about that, we spoke what I already have downstairs, which is laminate. They even stated, that's a manufactured piece we can't get anymore but we can get something close to match. Don't always believe Yelp reviews, but I'd believe this one.

The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta

Parking in a garage downtown for a frozen yogurt irks me so I rarely go. I passed this consignment and the moment I entered, my eyes grew big. It's mostly furniture---a mix of mid-century modern and other classic pieces--but also one of the best designer resales I've seen in the back. Every bench, piece of art, chair gorgeous. You just have to go in to appreciate the extraordinary taste of Lisa Faitell, who moved to SB from Westchester County (a tiny town my dear friend lives and I just spent three nights). It's a mother-daughter operation, which I love. They also do custom window treatments and you can arrange for delivery. In the hour I spent, a woman in Laurel Canyon bought a large bright aqua sectional couch. I love absolutely everything. Note: the clothing runs small. Best if you are a size 2, 4, or 6. I love that a New Yorker opened this store--in a pandemic no less. New Yorkers have grit and chutzpah, always rising to the challenge in the most fraught conditions. I bought a dress (48 dollars) and an incredible long sweater-jacket with pattern (50). Wearing the dress to the Granada Saturday, my first time since 2014 before I moved to the city. If you're downtown, you must go in. It's impossible not to come away with a treasure. I went in to look for plant stands and found an outdoor set for 50 they only sell as a pair. I might have to go get it, though I really only need one.
