Planet Hardwood was outstanding. They showed up exactly when they said they would, finished ahead of schedule, and my floors look amazing. They also cleaned up 100% of all the sanding dust.

Mike was great to work with! He got back to us promptly and was able to get to work in a short timeframe. He was professional and extremely punctual for every meeting we had. He made sure to explain the process and the purpose for each step, and made sure we were all on the same page regarding what needed to be done. Quoted price was accurate to what we paid in the end, and was excellent for the quality of work we received. The floors and staircase looked excellent when he finished, with very little dust left when he was finished. Old scratches and divots were removed or filled in cleanly. During final walkthrough we saw that some deeper divots weren’t filled in, and the buffer missed a small 2 inch strip of flooring along one wall. He resolved both of those issues without argument the next business day. When we get more flooring work done in the future, Planet Hardwood will certainly be our first call!
Description of Work: Hardwood floors and stairs needed to be sanded and resealed. Additionally some deep divots into the wood needed to be filled in.

Mike did an awesome job with our hardwood floors! They were very scratched up and had a clear coating that was peeling everywhere. With a 1 year old that wasn’t going to work. The job took close to 2 weeks and Mike worked extremely hard to get it finished even before the 2 week time estimate we were given. The floors look absolutely amazing and the stain color is exactly what we wanted. There were so many pros to this job, I hate to even list the cons. Occasionally Mike wasn’t very responsive or wouldn’t answer texts. I understand when running a business things can get a little crazy, but this happened more than once. Better communication would have been a plus, especially when someone is displaced from their home. We had to ask several times for him to come back and replace the doorway trim pieces. We also have stain in several places on our painted walls. Not sure how we can get it off. I know these jobs are messy but we were a little surprised to see so many spots other than the baseboards. Overall the job was great and we would recommend Mike and Planet Hardwood.

We had 3 bedrooms and a small hallway refinished by Mike. Prior to refinishing the floors were covered with weird paint marks and spills, tons of stains from carpet adhesive, and holes from nails/staples. Mike did a wonderful job making the floors look like new AND matching the finish to our existing hardwood floors that were done by the previous owner. Mike was flexible with us and completed the job in a little over a week. It was a very positive experience.

Planet hardwood did a wonderful job, though tearing out old hardwood was an unexpected difficult task. Nevertheless the guys persevered and got the job done. Impressed with the installed hardwood .... high quality and can be refinished multiple times even though the product is engineered. Our new floors look great and we are highly satisfied. Would recommend Planet Hardwood without reservation.

Planet Hardwood was recommended to us when we relocated and purchased a home in Huntsville. Mike, the owner, gave recommendations on refinishing areas and tying in new flooring to existing flooring. He was professional, and extremely knowledgeable explaining why he would do things a certain way. He does the finishing work himself and is truly an artist. The old flooring flows into the new flooring seamlessly and his Bona system produced very little dust. Mike has an easy going personality and was great to work with. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely hire him again with any flooring needs we have. We feel very lucky that he was recommended to us since we are new to the Huntsville area.

My old floors were in bad shape and was first considering full replacement. Mike, from Planet Hardwood, suggested that they were worth saving. The refinish and repair turned out great! The company has a solid work ethic and Mike was a true artisan in the restoration process. Highly Recommend.

Mike and his installers did an awesome job. The floors are seamless and the color is great. Mike had excellent communication the whole time. I appreciated being able to text him when I had questions. He gave me several pointers on how to do some other home tasks. He referred me to an excellent painter. All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience and he will definitely have my business again in the future. My only nit-pick was that the new finish molding he installed against the trim looked much better than the existing molding after his sander hit them and worked under them. I would suggest getting all of your finish molding (or quarter round) replaced when you get your floors refinished because he does an excellent job with it!
Description of Work: I needed to expand my dining room hardwoods into my living room and refinish them all from a white oak (yellow) to dark walnut (brown). This required ripping up some old boards to lace in new boards for a seamless transition. I also 3 steps and a stair landing refinished in dark walnut.

They turned out beautifully. Better than what my husband and I were expecting. We had some stains from pets and whatnot that I only hoped could be fixed. They look like new to me and I couldn't be more pleased. When we had the initial estimate and we were talking to Mike he said he could fix this and fix that and he did! During the process he answered all of our questions and was courteous and professional. We will not hesitate to recommend him to friends or family.

Mike and his team worked very hard, and diligently installing the wood floor. Each step of the way, they consulted with us to ensure the best look we desired around door thresholds and adjoining rooms. Mike was courteous, timely, efficient, professional, knowledgeable about flooring and stain finishes, and price-competitive with other flooring companies. He took a lot of time going over the process with us before the work started. His team was very impressive with the craftsmanship of their handiwork in prominent areas such as around fireplaces and cabinets. They took a lot of pride in their work which we appreciated. Also, he is still readily available for advise on maintenance issues.

This was the second time I had hired Mike. He did a great job as always and is very thorough in his work. He uses the latest dustless equipment, and that is the ONLY way to go. He has been in the business around 20 years or so, and is not just a professional but more of a craftsman with hard wood floors. I plan to hire him again later this year for more of the same. He is also beats the price of most companies in the area. Currently at 3.75 per sq. ft. as opposed to most who charge 4.25, PLUS you get a better more detailed job than most. These are my brand NEW 54 year old floors :)

Exceeded my expectations! Mike is extremely professional, knowledgeable and talented at his job. My floors look awesome as a result of his expertise. When other couldn't/wouldn't considered completing the difficult task, he nailed it.
Description of Work: My floors looked cloudy, spotted and horrible from a do-it-yourself Bona floor polish. I contacted many professionals who said the floor was impossible to fix and they would not touch it. Mike came to give them a look and immediately said he could fix them. Now, THEY LOOK AWESOME! The finish is smooth, satiny and consistent throughout. It is some of the best money I have spent on home repairs.

The job took almost two weeks because it involved three bedrooms, a hallway, a living room, and dining room floors. I did not stay on site because the work involved most of the house. Although I was not present, the work was done thoroughly and responsibly. Mike Ward is a professional who is not only skilled but also personable. He brought new life to some very old hardwood floors.
Description of Work: Sanded, stained, and sealed my hardwood floors which had been covered with carpet for many years. He did an outstanding job and was very easy to work with. I plan to use his company again in the near future.

I read Mr. Ward's reviews before hiring him. I like to read the all 5 star reviews and the 1 star. I hired Planet Hardwood after reading Mr. Ward's answers to his 1 star reviews. He is truly honest and does incredible work. I will use him into the future and will call him when I need other things done he does not do because I trust and value his opinion. That being said, I did say yes sir and no sir to him so I wouldn't get him going. And going to give him a B for price but I would pay the same again for what I got from him.
