Hardwood Floor Repair & Restoration in San Jose, CA | Valerie McNeal

Company Overview

Valerie McNeal is a lifelong artist based in San Jose, CA, who brings decades of creative expertise to hardwood floor solutions, damage restoration, and interior design. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from 1975 and apprenticeships in watercolor, acrylic, and architectural drafting, she transitioned into mural artistry in 1992, completing over 1,000 murals for Silicon Valley tech companies and homes. This experience taught her faux finishes and restoration techniques, which she applied to projects like the restoration of the San Jose Unitarian Church. Today, Valerie focuses on economical hardwood floor repair—specializing in small scratches, burns, and cosmetic damage—saving clients from costly full-floor replacement. She also offers mural projects for residential and commercial interiors and exteriors. Her artistic refinishing services include color matching, burn repair, and specialty staining. For San Jose residents facing common water damage issues like attic condensation, ice dams, window leaks, or skylight leaks, Valerie assesses the damage to determine if refinishing can restore the floor without structural replacement. Conveniently located near the Santana Row shopping district and the downtown San Jose tech corridor, she provides a neighborly, creative approach to preserving beauty from damage.
