Roots also had to be hacked out of the garage floor following its demo. The garage floor still looks like new. Buzz was easy to deal with. He was flexible in his timing and offered us a range of options for dealing with the garage floor and the driveway. He was on the job every day with his crew...no one worked harder than he did. And I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. The wall and the garage floor are first rate.

Ray came to look at our property and called me for his quote on detailed pricing on removing carpets, flooring and also baseboards. It was reasonable numbers so we decided to get him to do all the services. At that time we were also updating our kitchen, and Ray specifically requested to arrange his schedule after the kitchen work was completely done. Unfortunately, the tile worker for the kitchen missed their schedule and we were stuck in between Ray's schedule and uncertainty from the tile worker. In the end, we worked the schedule out for everyone. Ray came with an assistant to remove the carpets. Then he found out that the condition of the floor was worse than he thought, that he had to revise his pricing. We were overwhelmed and anxious because it was getting closer to our move in day, we thought we got a done deal, and finding another service in that time frame was not possible. We went with Ray and got him to start immediately. We agreed on color but then later needed to change to deeper because of the condition. We are happy with the final color. We have a few issues with the floors and Ray has been willing to help. We had visitors to our house that pointed to us that there are a lot of visible scratches and circle marks all over the floor from sanding. We mentioned it to Ray later, he said it's something unavoidable. He did some replacements of damage floor. Apparently his assistant installed the new pieces, a few nails were not in deep enough and kept coming up. Later upon contacting Ray, he came to knock the nails down again and also to solve other issues. We had problem with the transition pieces from hardwood to tile that were left out initially. Concerned with safety issue, we contacted a few other wood floor service providers, they advised us to discuss with Ray for the best solution. Fortunately, my father is a wood furniture crafter, and my father handmade them for us. Ray stained and installed them. There were also a few stains on the wall and bottom part of door jams from the staining process (we had painting job done first before floor) not a big deal, my father and I did the touch up of the painting. Ray is nice to called again later to check in on the floor. To date we still have problem with the nail keeps coming up surface, and the issue with the filler in one split part of the wood that broken apart into pieces and is now mostly gone. Ray said he will come to put in a different kind after the cold wet weather past. We learned so much from this experience. Thank you Ray for your efforts and for being helpful and informative. Oakridge Hardwood Flooring is definitely recommended service.

AWAY. So we initially were referred to this store by a contractor we were using. We had just bought our home and decided to do most of the floors over in engineered wood. Selection and negotiation was no problem, as I indicated above, price was actually OK compared to some others. The initial installation took place in May of 2012. The downstairs went relatively smoothly; that was fairly straightforward, a hallway and three bedrooms. The issues came with the upstairs, where additional work was being performed. They were using an adhesive to attach to the plywood subfloor that was getting pushed up between the cracks. We spoke on multiple occasions about the need to keep things cleaned/covered as other work was still going on. On the day when the bulk of the work went in upstairs, I went over about 8pm. Adhesive pushed up between cracks, partially cleaned, and nothing covered. I had to go to Home Depot, buy paper rolls, and cover the whole thing myself...was there until probably close to midnight. When I spoke with John the next day, he asked his foreman who denied my having asked for the floors to be covered, and also said "we don't usually do that." That would have been fine, except I had explained before starting that work was ongoing and we would need that service. The job went in. We had to have them come out again to use a solvent to clean the glue off. Installation quality (gaps, etc.) was fine, but they were messy with the glue. As we started to use the upstairs, we noticed that the upstairs floor was turning problematic. Dropping anything on one of theplanks left a dent or scratch. We started contacting John at IDN in November, telling him the floors were denting very easily. (We're talking about dropping a butter knife from the counter leaving a bad ding.) He came out to the house, took pictures, and agreed the floor needed to be fixed. After that, it was a runaround. He told us he could no longer get the floor. He referred me to the supplier, a one man shop, who also denied any problems with the material. After 3 months, he finally 'found' a box of the material on ebay, bought it, and in February we they finally came out to replace 4 or 5 boards. They brought the box, and started to cut up the damaged boards. What a mistake. They said "it may be a little dusty" before they began, then proceeded to skilsaw into the boards right in the kitchen without covering anything. We had to yell "no, stop!" and put up some protective plastic where we could. Too late, though, and not enough. For the first day, he had sent out one of his more junior people. He was cutting/scraping the boards up, then when he started to replace them, we saw that the boards were not the same color. When he laid it down, it also had an almost 1/8" gap. At that point, we said, "No, that's enough." and sent him home. We called John again and asked about the mismatched color. He told us that was the best he could do. At this point, though, we were between a rock and a hard place. We told him that we at least wanted someone who knew what they were doing to come out. The next day, he sent out one of his senior guys, who finished the job as best as could be done. So we now have 4-5 boards that don't match the rest of our $8,000 floor. By the time they were done, we just wanted them out of the house. We have a 30-year warranty but would not let them in the front door. My overall take: IDN is happy to come out, quote, install a basic floor. They do not want to work clean, cover up the floors if other contractors are working, put up plastic, or come out for repairs. Nor do they admit any problems with deficient material, even when they see it with their own eyes. They will take their sweet time to resolve an issue...as I said, it was almost 3 months to get the "repair" done. Like I said earlier. RUN. AWAY.

Alfredo pointed out that the vinyl in the master was starting to curl up and left a sample of some tile flooring he had that ended up looking great in there - he also replaced the old vinyl in the laudry room witth the tile.

This was a big job. The concrete wall and the garage floor had been damaged by roots of an 60 ft Aleppo Pine. After the tree was removed, Buzz and his crew came in to rebuild the concrete block wall. It was very much a "find out as you go" kind of project. We didn't know the state of the...

So I reached out to Olde Tyme to refinish my BRAND NEW FLOORS (I know - crazy!) Scott immediately diagnosed the problem and, thankfully, it was fixable! - The installer that I used (not Scott) didn't properly clean up after installation, which left a very visible and unsightly gluey "haze" - a film over the entire project, which wouldn't come off with regular wood-floor cleaner. There were even foot prints (presumably glue) from the installers' shoes! Scott very kindly, on his off hours, detailed the steps I needed to take to fix the problem - namely, insisting that the original installer return and properly clean the entire floor. ***I would absolutely hire Olde Tyme Floor Co.to install any future floors.

FAQs for floor sanding projects in Winnetka, CA
The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.
