San Bernardino – Hardwood Floor Refinishing – My Review
We had just purchased a home January 15, 2010. The home was built in 1953 and was presumed to have hardwood floors, or at least that’s what the inspector told us. At the time of inspection, the floors were wall to wall carpet (dirty carpet). The owners told us the hardwood was in decent condition and had a “few screws” in them.
Well, we thought big deal, we can remove a few screws then hire a hardwood refinishing company from San Bernardino to make them our dream floors.
The day we closed and got the keys we went to the house and immediately pulled the carpet only to find rows of screws about 2 inches apart and wall to wall! We couldn’t believe that anyone would do this to 150 year old hardwood but they had. We were devastated and figured they would need to be replaced.
We got bids anywhere from $7-11 per sq. ft. to replace. These companies convinced us that ripping them out was the solution but the cost was simply to high for us so we decided to postpone our hardwood floor repair until we could afford the $10k to have it done.
Well, I ran into a flooring guy while on a Jamba Juice stop. Call it chance I suppose, but he had been doing hardwood refinishing, installation and repair for more than 30 years. He told me they could absolutely be repaired and that he would NEVER rip out the old floors as they just don’t make them like that anymore.
Long story short, he repaired over 3000 screw holes, sanded, stained and applied 3 coats of polyurethane to our floors. UNBELIEVABLE! Oh, and the price was completely reasonable.
So if you’re in southern California we suggest you use this family owned business to repair, or refinish your hardwood. We’re on the border of LA and San Bernardino counties so it was convenient for both of us.

Search engine placement has changed drastically since our case study with Google in 2004. The problem with the vast majority of marketing is that it is not only too expensive but it also doesn't work. Alpha Six's methods are radically different, an avant-garde approach that not only brings business to our vendors but also eliminates the confusion of on-line search results.
