Refinishing
Andy and Harry Tran have been refinishing floors across San Francisco, Marin, and Oakland since 1998. This is a family business — both are on-site on every job, and Harry is your primary point of contact from estimate through completion. We restore worn hardwood to the way it looked when first installed.
Oak flooring is our primary specialty. We refinish all types of oak — red oak, white oak, antique oak, quarter-sawn oak, rift-sawn oak, character grade oak, and engineered oak. We also specialize in Douglas fir restoration for San Francisco's Victorian and Edwardian homes, as well as maple, walnut, and other hardwood species.
Hardwood can only be sanded a limited number of times. We carefully select the right sandpaper grit at each stage to extend the life of your floors.
We use professional-grade refinishing machines, sealants, solvents, and finishes — not the equipment available at hardware stores. The quality of the tools and materials directly affects the durability and appearance of the finished floor.
We offer two finish options depending on your needs. Water-based finishes dry faster — multiple coats in a single day — and most customers are back in their home within 2–3 days. Oil-based finishes take 4–8 days but add a warm amber tone that many homeowners prefer for red oak and Douglas fir. We'll recommend the right option for your floor species and timeline during your free estimate.
We also offer staining, including dark stains and gray stains that require extra skill to apply evenly. We'll get the color right the first time.
