Customer Feedback:
Hi-Tech Hardwood Floors
“They sanded and re-stained my hardwood floors, and they did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors, and I would put them at the very, very top of the list— by far the best. The job was done perfectly, and people rave about my floors.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“My chimney sunk and took parts of the floor with it! They avoided having to remove the chimney by bringing out a pressure grouter and leveling the house. They took a lot of time to meet my needs, were very professional, and there was not one nail left behind.h“

Customer Feedback:
Sven’s Cabinet & Furniture Refinishing
“The finish on our cabinets was not holding up, so we had Sven’s come out, take the old finish off, and put a new finish on. We were very satisfied with their work, had them back to re-do our family room door, and will soon have them back to fix some fading on our living room door. I feel very comfortable with Sven’s in this sense: everytime I hire them to do something, it always works out.”

Customer Feedback:
Wooden Window
“We own an old Oakland schoolhouse where most of the windows had been painted shut over the years. Not only did Wooden Window reverse the aging process and make them operate like new, but their workers were absolute gentlemen. They were very courteous and neat, and we felt confident about leaving them alone in our home.”
