Get matched with top furniture refinishers in Half Moon Bay, CA

"We used Envirotek annually to clean and refinish the deck when my wife owned a rental townhouse. I was pleased to see Envirotek pop up when searching for a contractor to power wash my house. Sammy's workers were very thorough and the paint looked like new when they finished."

"Our ongoing experience with N-Hance San Francisco and David Lantow, their general manager, has been unbelievably frustrating and ultimately a COMPLETE DISASTER that they have yet to resolve. We don't see any negative reviews for them here, so we suggest also taking a look at Yelp where a number of others have reported similar negative experiences. We had N-Hance perform a color change to the wood in several areas of our home including kitchen cabinets/island, master bathroom cabinets, guest bathroom cabinets, laundry room cabinets, bar cabinets/shelves, a built-in desk, and hall cabinets. They also installed knobs and pulls on all our cabinet doors and drawers. This was a very large job, so we appreciated the detailed attention we received from our initial consultation, an additional color consultation, and a sample they provided by applying the desired color change directly to one of our kitchen drawers before we signed our contract. We were very pleased with the sample they provided to us which was the exact color we discussed, had a smooth and consistent finish, and stood up to our extensive scratch testing. Unfortunately, the work that N-Hance ended up performing throughout our home did not come even close to the quality of that initial sample - We are stating this after N-Hance’s multiple attempts including the initial job, two separate subsequent touch-up attempts, one “complete re-do” attempt onsite, and one “complete re-do” attempt with all cabinet doors and drawers taken offsite. Ultimately, we are disappointed with the overall poor work quality, the significant delays in the general manager returning our phone calls (it can take David several weeks to return a phone call although he provided us his direct cell phone number to address our issues), the even more significant delays in scheduling a crew to fix our issues (this has ranged from 2 to 10 months each time despite our multiple follow-up attempts), the continued excuses and many apologies from the general manager without acceptable solutions (i.e., David blamed the quality issues on bad preparation by crew members who have since been let go although we found that subsequent attempts by different crew members also produced poor results), and the ongoing false assurances and empty promises from the general manager (i.e., we are still waiting for an approximate 10% partial refund check that David promised we would receive over 3 months ago if we agreed to a final “complete re-do” attempt). Below is a summary of the quality issues we’ve experienced throughout this entire ordeal with N-Hance SF, and we’ve attached photos of some of the issues that remain unresolved even after the 5th and latest attempt which was supposedly a “complete re-do” of the prior work. 1) The paint peels and scratches easily with only light usage. Each subsequent attempt by N-Hance to touch-up or “completely re-do” the work only temporarily covered up the issue. A recent photo is attached. (Note this particular issue is commonly mentioned in other negative Yelp reviews.) 2) Our laundry room cabinet doors and drawers, which were completed on a different day from the other areas, were done in an obviously lighter color and a strangely different gritty texture. This issue was finally fixed 10 months after we reported it. 3) After the latest “complete re-do” attempt, several of our cabinet doors were returned with bumpy dried paint drips all along the edges. A photo is attached. 4) Small areas of paint stains were left on our carpet, appliances, and walls from the initial spray job. A white residue was stuck on many of our cabinet doors after they were returned from the latest “complete re-do” attempt. We were able to scrub off the white residue and re-paint the walls ourselves, but the stains on our carpet and appliances could not be fixed. A photo is attached. 5) A mess was left inside the cabinets and drawers (including large splintered wood pieces) when they drilled the holes to install the knobs and pulls. When they removed/returned all the knobs and pulls after their latest “complete re-do” attempt, they ended up badly stripping many of the screws. A photo is attached. Note that the general manager himself came to see the issues we reported, and he immediately agreed that the work quality was unacceptable. We are finally writing this negative review after giving N-Hance SF too many chances to resolve our issues and believing far too many times when the general manager apologized with statements like “we assure you this is not to our standards” or “sorry for the delay, we’ll fix this for you as soon as possible” or “don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the [partial refund] check, but we’re experiencing cash flow issues.” Needless to say, we DO NOT RECOMMEND this particular branch of N-Hance."

"The quality of Mike's work was decent. The price was fair. My advice: if you use Mike be sure to HOLD BACK PAYMENT until all work is complete. Details: resurfacing project for kitchen cabinets, total project ~$10k. Mike resurfaced as well as converted a few cabinets to a better configuration for our needs. He reinforced a few shelves too. I was and continue to be happy with the work. However, there were three things that were never completed, and I wish I had held back payment. He never returned to complete the work, despite following up for months. 1) hinge hardware for several doors is of the wrong type and interferes with use of the cabinets. the fix is to replace the hinges on about 6 of the cabinets. 2) holes were put in the wall to provide room for the wrong hinges. these holes were filled in a completely unprofessional way. when you open the cabinets it is glaring and looks terrible. this is the cabinet where we store plates for dinner, so I am reminded every night. the fix is to fill, sand, and paint these holes AND replace the hinges. 3) he drilled a hole for a door pull in the wrong location. He filled the hole but it's obvious and in a highly visible location. the fix is to replace the door. mike said he ordered but never came by to replace. 4) for a large pantry door, it is clearly visible that screws to mount the door were too long and are pushing out from under the finished surface, again a highly visible location. the fix is to replace the door. mike said he ordered but never came by to replace."

"The work they did was ok. But they didn’t respond to 6 phone messages. I went to the location 2x to try and get answers but nobody was there. On my 3rd visit finally Rick was there. But they never did meet the agreed-upon deadline so the gift I was giving someone for their birthday was late."

"Paul has been great in communication. His follow up, answers to my questions and prompt estimates have sealed The deal."

"very well. good job, completed early. expensive, but you get what you pay for."
