Delta Hardwood Floors

So pleased with the work they did for us in 2011, we brought them back for another property last month. This is a 1937 house with parquet inlaid floors.
As before, they were prompt and efficient and did a great job, which included replacing many boards which were stained from pets.

I am extremely happy with Johnny and team’s work. The overall experience from RFQ to completion of the project was professional, pleasant and it was obvious that Delta Floors knew their trade intimately. Johnny answered all my questions promptly and kept me in touch with the job progress daily as i was traveling internally on business. He eased my stress and took a load of my shoulder. The final result of my floor was exactly what they said it would be. It even looks better in person. I am thankful that I went ahead with Delta. Highly highly recommend.

Incredible, incredible, incredible! Jonny and his father did an exquisite job on transforming my tattered, water damaged hardwood floors that I thought were ruined into sparkling, beautiful floors that look like new. I’d highly recommend Jonny to anyone needing refinishing. He was extremely thorough, punctual and honest. His quality and craftsmanship are top notch. They also make a great effort to clean up following the process. Excellent value as well. They included a freebie as well, only charging for the materials to buff up additional hardwood floors. All-​in-​all, it was excellent.

Delta must have gone to the Delta. They failed to appear for an appointment last night, without any explanation. Imagine if you hired them and had an endless wait for these people when trying to get in to work in the morning.

Johnny and his team refinished the floors in our Noe Valley home and did a fantastic job! I knew the floors needed a makeover but HOLY MOLY, they look AMAZING!!! Our home looks like it got a facelift! Johnny couldn’t have been easier to work with and was very knowledgeable and friendly. We brought another company in for a 2^nd estimate and they couldn’t even figure out what type of wood we have. Later Skater! Johnny walked in and knew immediately. Johnny works around your schedule which was nice for us because our remodel has been very unpredictable. We called Johnny on Wednesday and the job was done a week later. They replaced boards and did all transitions WITHOUT an extra charge which saved us yet another trip to Lowe’s. On top of that, Johnny’s price was well below the other bid.
Overall, Delta Hardwood Floors is the way to go! You’d be dumb to go anywhere else. :)
Thank you Johnny and team for all your hard work. We couldn’t be any happier!

I have been meaning to write this for a few months. We were getting our house ready sell in SF and the soft-​wood floors were in dire need of getting refinished. Johnny couldn’t have been easier to work with and did an excellent job. Moreover, the mail carrier pulled off the tape covering our mail slot and put the mail through, causing the mail to stick to the floor. We called Johnny and he sent one of his guys over the next morning to fix the spot and didn’t charge anything for the time!
Can’t say enough good things about Delta Hardwood Floors. Their bid was on the lower end of the few that we got, the work was fast, and the floors looked incredible.
Thanks Johnny!

If you are shopping around STOP! This is BEST company you could HIRE, they are reasonable with AWESOME SERVICE from start to finish and rest assured that you are BACKED by their guarantee!
Moving into the City and not knowing who to hire we were fortunate to have been referred to Johnny by our realtor. Right from the minute I met Johnny I felt comfortable that we were getting TOP NOTCH quality of service and a fair price. They definitely know their job and do it well.
Our floors were in bad shape and since the house was built in 1926 we wanted to keep the original floor but change the look to espresso which came out AWESOME.
AGAIN, this is the BEST company in San Francisco!

Good quote, great quality of work. My nearly 100 year old inlaid wood floors look new again. Really pleased with the results!

We were looking for wood flooring installers for a 500sf space in San Francisco. Thought we call a few to get quotes from flooring installers reviewed on Unilocal.Delta, Marlon and Kapriz were the ones we selected to call. Marlon and Kapriz called back and only Kapriz showed up. What happened to Delta? Well they never called back even though we called twice. That shows how unprofessional they are and the type of service you will get if you decide to hire them. Some reviewers had issues about Delta for not returning their calls and my experience with them is a testament to that. At least, now you know what to expect when you do business with them. I don’t even know why we bothered to call them as they were not even rated in the top 5 wood flooring installers in San Francisco. As for the no show Marlon, then that would be for another review. I might change this rating if Johnny finally calls back. Of course, he may not even know who this is because he may have quite a number of voice messages that wanted his business but never bothered to reply back.

Johnny was super responsive, did a great job on some wood floors that hadn’t been touched in 30 years, and was very affordable. I would use him again to do the floors.

After getting 5 – 6 quotes to get our hard wood floors refinished we chose Delta Floors. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Johnny and his crew are the best! They did an amazing job and the floors look great! They were on time every day and cleaned up the job sight spotless. We had a difficult time deciding on a color stain and Johnny did not rush us to decide on the color. You can tell that their ultimate goal is to make sure that the customer is totally satisfied and happy. You won’t be disappointed. Their prices are very competitive too. Trust me, just because you pay more does not guarantee a good job. Delta Floors take pride in their work and it shows. Highly recommended!

My partner and I just got a house that is a real fixer upper. When we pulled up the carpet we saw hardwood floors, that while had tons of problems also had potential.
I did an exhaustive search and selected four companies to come give us a quote. After scheduling appointments with all of them over the phone, I knew I wanted to hire Johnny, but also knew I needed to meet all of them to get a good idea of what we were getting into. Also, after looking at all his reviews I was afraid he might be too expensive for us.
The other three contractors were fine when they came out to give the quote, but Johnny was above and beyond. He had color samples, looked at all our problem spots and gave us all our options. I knew immediately I wanted to hire him despite what it might cost. Guess what? His quote was the lowest by far.
The day they started working I gave Johnny’s dad the keys and left them alone for the next three days. I saw no point in hovering over them and dictating to them how to do a job I didn’t know how to do anyway. On the 4^th day we went back.
Wow! They did an amazing job on our old wood floors, including the staircase. I couldn’t be happier and everyone that has come to see our place remarks on the beautiful floors.
Johnny and Delta floors rock. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I thought about not writing up this review since Johnny’s a nice guy, but after thinking about it, owe myself and the Unilocal community a review of my experience with Delta Floors. It should’ve been a red flag for me when the wood Delta had delivered was in the wrong size and finish then what I had ordered. But my friend used them and said other than leaving the place a bit messy, she was happy with her finished floor. So I said not a deal breaker and took another day off work to have the correct wood delivered. Delta said they could finish over the weekend, in 2 – 3 days, since it was a small space, prefinished, glue down application. They came Saturday but then all of a sudden said they had to glue down only part of the floor and come back on Monday to finish the rest «for the glue to dry so they can make sure the floor is installed straight». I think they more likely had a competing job, but long story short, it took them until Thursday (so I had to delay my trip out of town) to finish the floor.
Cons:
— I came home one day to find them installing in the kitchen without tearing up the linoleum and without installing underlayment which is against condo rules. I made them tear up the install and lay underlayment but I never would’ve known if I didn’t come to check on them. This was a huge issue to me.
— Two boxes of open wood (e.g., non-​returnable) are leftover which is waay more than overage necessary for emergency repairs down the road.
— The fireplace transition looks awful since they didn’t undercut the brick like professional installers normally do.
— One side of the kitchen was uneven because the baseboard wasn’t taken off before the install.
— There are 2 big scratches on the floor from when they put the fridge back.
— Carpet was left on the closet transition.
— The guys also left a lot of glue on the floors, wall and furniture as well as a lot of sawdust everywhere.
— They didn’t leave the condo hallway clean so my HOA was not happy with me.
— I was told all the insurance information I needed for the HOA was on the website but it wasn’t, and led to a lot of problems with my HOA.
— They drank all my soda in the fridge and used all my paper towels instead of bringing their own supply.
— My toilet handle was broken and a hole left in the drywall without fixing or telling me.
I felt like I paid a lot of money and got a less than brand new product. You’d never tolerate paying thousands of $$ for a new car only to get a dirty dented lemon to drive off the lot and you shouldn’t have to with a floor either. And other than the cost of the wood, it ended up being over $ 6 per sq ft so definitely not cheap. I witheld last payment and made them repair the scratches in front of the fridge. However, Delta claims they didn’t do it since that wasn’t part of their ‘procedure’ which pissed me off. I don’t care what your procedure is, I came home to find a not so brand new floor; so are you implying I did it? There was just a LOT of excuses throughout the whole process.
* «Oh, the wood you wanted is too narrow so it took longer (so a half inch narrower than what you thought led to 6 days instead of the 2 – 3? 2.5 inches isn’t THAT narrow. And it was frustrating to come home on a delayed job to find one guy took off at 2:30pm on multiple days).
* «The guys didn’t break the toilet ’cause otherwise they would’ve told me (then who broke it?!).
* «It’s not our job to clean when we leave, you should hire professional cleaners for that (are you kidding me?!).
* «The brick on your fireplace is uneven and we don’t undercut brick» (sorry, but I don’t think it’s the client’s responsibility to subcontract your work out, if you can’t do it, hire someone that can… I’m paying you to get the job done. p. s. here’s a video of how to do it
).
Anyway, I felt like I had to post the review since all the other reviews are so different from my experience and maybe they’ll make some improvements. Could be the experience is better with on-​site finished, nail-​down installations but definitely wouldn’t use them if I knew what I know now. I felt like I constantly had to be on-​site to keep an eye on them which is a job in itself, and overall, an ‘Eek!’ experience but bumped up a star since they did fix most of the issues (although they tried to take shortcuts for repairs like only re-​installing baseboard on half of the wall since you have to look to the side of the fridge to see the rest –seriously?!) and since Johnny’s so nice (but he won’t be on-​site, you’ll just deal with him for the payments/​specs).

I chose to call Delta based solely on the amazing Unilocal reviews. And now I can add my own 5-​star review to the others.
I bought a big old house and decided to rip out the wall-​to-​wall carpet to see what was underneath. Turns out there were oak floors in mixed condition. In some areas there was just plywood, and in others some water-​damaged boards. Johnny Dao from Delta came out and assessed the situation. What looked to me like a disaster looked completely do-​able for him. He described how they would lay new floor where there was none, and would repair the old damage, and do it so that it looked perfectly seamless. I felt confident in what he said because he explained things so well and obviously knew what he was talking about. The price was good so I decided to refinish all the floors in the house, not just the ones under the carpet.
They came out perfect. The newly-​laid wood blends in seamlessly with the old floor — you can’t even tell there was ever a problem there! The place looks gorgeous. I’m so glad I chose to restore the wood instead of installing more carpet.
I consider these guys miracle workers. Furthermore, Johnny is one of the nicest contractors I’ve ever worked with, and his patience and calm demeanor was really appreciated since I had never gone through this process before. He’s a really good communicator and responded immediately to every question I had. His team is incredibly hard working and did the big job fast. Put yourself in their capable hands and you will NOT be sorry. I just wish I had more floors so I could work with them again.

I hired Delta Hardwood Floors based on the strength of their Unilocal reviews and everything was spot on. A designer friend of mine gave me the number of his guy but they came in 40% higher and after looking at Delta’s Website, I decided to go with Johnny and Delta Hardwood Floors
My refinished floors look awesome. The process could not have been easier. I gave them full access to my place while I got out of town to avoid the dust, fumes and furniture stowed in every nook and cranny. They cleaned up very nicely after the project was over. There is some dust but not all the dust that I expected. They even fixed a rotten board next to the door at no additional charge. Really, I cannot say enough good things. Give them a try.
My only regret is I wish that I would have done this when I moved in.

Johnny and his crew refinished the 100 year old douglas fir softwood floors throughout our entire house and did a fabulous job! They are very professional, reasonably priced, and do timely work. His crew had a lot to contend with while working in our victorian. To give you some perspective, many of the rooms were carpeted. When you peeled back the carpet, you found linoleum, then a layer of painted wood. In the end the finished product was beautiful and we are thrilled with the floors!

Just moved into a new condo and had two rooms with crappy carpeting. Our agent referred us to Delta and Johnny came by to give us an estimate the same day we got the referral. The estimate was very reasonable and they were able to start the next Monday, so we went with it. We were not disappointed. Johnny’s dad and crew did an amazing job removing the old carpet, staining the underlying wood planks, and refinishing the floors. They even helped cover the gap between the base boards and the floor left after the carpet was removed. And their price was extremely reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend Delta to anyone in need of flooring. They’re the best.

These guys are really amazing. We chose them just based on other Unilocalers’ reviews and are so glad we did. They were fast, professional, and a fraction of the cost of others. The results were amazing, and we had a tall order of refinishing 1500 square feet of maple flooring. Go, Delta, Go!

We are exceptionally happy with Johnny’s communication and with Delta’s work on this project.
We recently purchased a 1909 house in the Mission and were anxious to move in. Johnny’s team was able to work weekends, adjust their schedule to ours, and did an amazing job.
They were great at guiding us through color choices with samples, cleaned up well, and also were *significantly* cheaper than other bids we received.
If only I had more floors… :)

We quoted around several places in Marin and San Francisco, they all came in around $ 4/​sqft. Delta Hardwood came recommended from a friend of a friend in Corte Madera and the floors came out nicely. Johnny came and quoted our floors at roughly ½ the price of the competitors with fancy showrooms, etc. We were very nervous about how it would turn out given the price differential. The floors turned out beautifully. They were extremely patient with us and did work above and beyond what they quoted (banister tops, and custom painted wood grates at cost). They laid out a grid on the floor to put down several different stains and we took about an hour looking at it and then decided on what we liked. I would highly recommend them for refinishing/​installing/​staining hardwood floors.
