hardwood floor
+ -1 moreThey're great and I had referred them to other people for their service. I used him before I even signed up for Angie's List. He was on the lower end for price that's why we went with him at first and then it worked out really well. He was always really good about getting back to me, the only issue was somewhat of a language barrier, he's hard to understand on the phone. I don't remember having any issues on punctuality.
Description of Work: I used Century Hardwood Floors. He refinished our hardwood floors throughout the house.

Description of Work: Century Hardwood Floors sanded and refinished a 2 bedroom apartment. William assisted us in choosing a color. It turned out beautiful. William's English is sometimes hard to understand. He is honest and trustworthy.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreThe company responded right away, and William came to measure, evaluate the repair that needed to be completed, and they gave me an estimate. The estimate was a little higher than the other company so I did not persue. They called me back to see what was happening, and I was honest. I had some difficulties understanding but we both were patient with the language differences. They also were located quite a distance from here and perhaps that kept their estimate a little higher. Do not confuse this company with Century Hardwood in San Francisco, like I almost did! When I phoned the SF "Century Hardwood" office by mistake one day, it was confusing! After I straightened out the mix-up, I asked for a rough estimate with the measurements (about 800 square feet total for three bedrooms, a living room and a hallway)and amt of replacement needed (under 20 square feet.) The other (San Francisco "Century Hardwood") company gave me a really high estimate in comparison to the two other companies.
Description of Work: This was estimate only! Note: When you are getting your estimates, make sure you understand that the final finish can be oil based or water based. The type you choose makes a significant difference in the durability and in the length of time for applications to dry, etc. It also significantly affects your price. William came on time to measure and give me an estimate. He was willing to break it down for me and let me know what it would be without repairing, and without refinishing (assuming I would carpet) two rooms that were more damaged, etc. He spent a lot of time explaining what would happen and how long the process would take, and how long it would take for the smell to dissipate. I felt that he was willing to take whatever time was needed to make sure we were on the same page, despite a bit of a language barrier. I called him once afterward, and he called me two weeks later. I didn't choose this company but felt confident that they would have done a good job. The price was over $500 higher than the other company, but less than the San Francisco company with the same name.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreIt was a good experience. They showed up at the time that they said they were going to. One thing though is that they did not disclose anything about the material. We were looking for one specific wood and brand to be installed and he didn't say anything about that. He just told us about the installation and services. We are probably going to find the material we want and have them install it. I would recommend them to others.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreJohn was very responsive to my request for an estimate to repair, sand and refinish 1400+ sq. ft. of 80 year old 1/2x2 white oak hardwood floor. He explained all our options stressing the pros and cons of each. His estimate was less than half of 2 other bids. Throughout the project John communicated very well. The job was scheduled for 10 days out but when another customer had to delay their work ours project was pulled in. The 3 person crew was on site for 4 full days. In addition to making the known repairs they inspected every square inch counter sinking nail heads and re-nailing squeaky boards. The crew was thorough and neat. I was pleasantly surprised that there weren't any dings in the walls or baseboards a testament to the care they took while working. When the job was complete he spent time to describe the proper care for the floors both near term and long term.
Description of Work: Sanded, repaired and refinished 1400 sq ft 80 year old hardwood floors.

+ -1 moreI needed to refinish my hardwood floor really fast to get ready to list the house for sale. William was able to respond immediatedly and start the next day. I had the extra challenge of being in Southern California. Even though I didn't give him a deposit, he went ahead and did the work. Once I came up to see his work, I was pleased. I called him up and gave him a check. Later on, he even helped me fix some discolorations I had on my cabinets.
Description of Work: Sanded out the scratches from my Hardwood floors and add two new polyuerythane coats.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreWilliam came out and told me that he could sand down the parquet and refinish it with two coats of varnish. He didn't seem to think that anything would be a problem. We don't actually live in the house yet so I showed him where the keys were. William came to my house, let himself in and got to work. My husband checked on the progress the first day and took pictures and what I saws was fabulous. The next day William was out again to put on the second coat of varnish. I went over the next day and was just bowled over at how beautiful it looked. It was brand new with a beautiful patina of golden oak and the awful dark walnut was gone. It is just a stunning floor. I thank William for restoring this floor as it has such sentimental value to me. He cleaned up and left no mess, well a little dust but that's all. I would recommend William to anyone needing to restore and finish hardwood floors. He is just great.
Description of Work: I have an old parquet floor in my foyer. It has sentimental value because my dad put it in 25 years ago. I am refurbishing the home and wanted to see if it was worth saving or if I should just replace it. The floor had been stained a deep walnut and had several coats of varnish and was real terrible looking. My dad had put it on top of ceramic tile and it was going to be real difficult to get rid of.

hardwood floor
+ -1 moreThis job was originally suppose to be a simple refinish of floors in four rooms in my 1916 home. The job was to last about a 1 1/2 wks and cost @ $1500, but in the end it ballooned to $7500 and lasted five weeks. William did a wonderful job with the floors, in particular the new floors. He and his crew were very pleasant to work with. His crew showed up at my home always on time. As others mentioned, communication was rough. Wasn't very good relaying a schedule of completion ahead of time. We found out when he would come back at the end of each day. He wasn't very good letting us know the cost or itemizing the cost for us, though we asked for it. His est. wasn't clear eventhough he had documented all the cost for our house in his notebook. When we asked how much more if we did it this way, his response would be more expensive or I'll give you a deal. We had some issues on undisclosed cost and he made amends by doing some extra work. Long story, but it worked out in the end.
Description of Work: Refinished red oak floors in my bedroom. This room was badly damaged with water and animal stains. He patched floor with wood puddy and then stained with a dark stain and applied four coats of oil polyurethane (final coat with a satin finish). We didn't expect perfection in this room and he did a fine job compared to what it looked like before. We were also suppose to have three other rooms (living, dining and guest bedrm.) refinished, but when the carpet was pulled up, we realized the floors could not be brought back to life. There were saw marks throughout the room and the former owners poured concrete in the floor vent. William suggested to have new hardwood installed, so we agreed to have 3" wide red oak and add a two wood inlays to create a double border in the living and dining rm. (cherry and walnut) and a single cherry border in the guest room. These rooms were stained with a golden pecan stain and three coats of oil polyurethane with the final coat being a satin finish.

+ 1 moreSeveral years ago I used a hardwood floor re-finisher who came highly recommended. When I tried to use him for my current project, our schedules did not coordinate. I checked Angie's List and called William. He returned my call within 24 hours. He came to my home, which is currently being remodeled, and gave me an estimate. His estimate was almost $800 less than the estimate I had gotten from the other hardwood floor re-finisher. I was working with a very tight schedule. I had to get out of the house I was renting. Even though my home is not finished being remodeled, I had to move in. It was critical that I get the two bedroom floors refinished before I put furniture in them. William explained his process and how long it would take. He worked on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule. I was extremely happy and plan on working with him again.
Description of Work: William sanded and stained the floor in two bedrooms. He did an excellent job, and he was very flexible.

His estimate was not the lowest nor the highest, he was in the middle. The job was finished within the estimated time and cost.

+ 0 moreThis was our lowest bid for the hardwood floor installation. Mr. Yang was very professional and was able to accommodate our time line. Installation of the new floor went well, with only minor confusion about the fact that we wanted wood flooring inside the closets in that room and under the fridge. It helped that I was able to be here when he started to walk the area with him. The sanding and finishing was scheduled while we were away, which was such a blessing. Upon returning just before the last of 3 coats, we found the floors looked great, but the smell was awful. I highly recommend a hotel for this part! There was some minor confusion about who was going to install the base boards. This was done for an additional $150. (Floor guy installs, painter should caulk and prep). We know for next time.
Description of Work: Installed new 3/4 inch hardwood floor in remodeled kitchen and family room, refinished existing hardwood floor in dining area and hallway.

+ -1 moreMr. Yang did a great job. The floor looks better than the original installation, and the finish is better. They were clear about the prep that I had to do -- clearing the area and putting up plastic sheets. They were very punctual and finished on schedule.
Description of Work: William Yang and crew refinished our 260 sq. ft. hardwood floor. They sanded it, and then applied 3 coats of polyurethane over 4 days.
