EASLAND FLOORING INC

It went fine. We haven't done anything yet because he advised us that he really couldn't give us an estimate until after we pulled our carpet up. We did really like his approach because we got two other estimates from other companies and they didn't seem to need to do that. We are not just refinishing hardwood floors. We have a portion of the house that hasn't had hardwood floors before, so we have to have new ones put in and laced in to match the old ones. The other companies had said that, once they brought that new wood in, we need to let it sit in the house for 10 days or something like that for acclamation, and he said that he actually recommended that it be longer than that, and the longer the better. He said that, if we could do it for 3-4 weeks, which would even be better. So, we felt like he gave us very high quality information even though we haven't gotten to the point of going forward with our flooring yet. We kind of liked his approach the best even though, in a way it is a little harder. The other guys were just going to come in and rip out the carpeting and move it out and do all of this, and the way that he would like to do it, is that we would have the carpeting taken out so that he can come and see what the situation is and give us a precise budget. It kind of makes us have to divide the work up a bit, but in the long run, it sounds like it could be to our advantage to do that. We have some ceiling stuff that we need to have done, and he and others advised us that the floors should be the last thing. We should do our ceiling and then the walls and then, last of all the floors, so that the later work doesn't mess up the newly finished floors. That might be another reason that it might be a while before we actually get to do the floors themselves. I really can't say anything about the price at this point but it sounds like it is going to be a really fair and real estimate based on him knowing everything there is to know. I think he was the most conscientious or the most conservative in talking to us about how to minimize the chances of warping or shrinking or anything like that happening. So, even though we haven't really seen his work yet, his approach to the work, I think, is really honest. He came the same day or the next day when we called him. He was smart too because, we have these two dogs and they kind of go nuts when people come in, and he had like little dog snacks in his pocket and he gave it to them as soon as he arrived and that just completely cut out the whole getting to know him stuff. So, that was really good and I guess he has dogs too. We most likely are going to use him.

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Extremely reliable. Extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend them without reservation. We have been using them for about 15 years.
