Had our 1960s vintage hardwood floors refinished by Tom and his crew at The Longest Yard. Great work. On time, professional, high quality, and great price. Very helpful in getting a few pieces of heavy furniture moved around, as well as removing old carpet and disposing it properly. We would hire them again.

Tom Long is the small business owner who cares very much about the quality of service he provides. He grew up in the business, his father teaching him, and he now works with his son as well. Tom not only came in with a competitive price, but he solved several challenges along the way, unbeknownst until the refinishing install began. He saw some subflooring existed underneath the wood to be refinished, so he bought and installed the same under a new area of wood to be installed, finishing it flawlessly to match the older wood he was re-finishing. He also took it upon himself to shave off the bottom of existing doors to clear the new elevation. Gratis. And had his electrician repair a cracked floor outlet we had. He took care of EVERYTHING!! And had wonderful communication all along the way. I don't think you can have him because WE are keeping him!! But if you DO, you will thrilled with old-fashioned conscientious service!!!

The floors were badly stained with water, animal waste and mildew. I feared sections would need replacement. But “The Longest Yard” was able to lift the stains. The finished floors resembled a new hardwood install. Mr Long was timely, informative and he takes pride in his work. The price was comparable. I plan to use them again in the near future.

Tom's company did a beautiful job installing waterproof vinyl plank flooring in the basement, sanding and adding a topcoat to our main floor hardwood floors and installing and staining oak veneer steps. This is the second time we have used the services of The Longest Yard and we are very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Tom and his crew, not only are they professional and personable...they come with a wealth of experience. I have old reclaimed oak barn wood all over the house and needed floors in two additional rooms. I never thought, nor did I expect, anyone could even get close to recreating this unique distressed look. Tom's creative passion and attention to detail was on point. The floors look amazing with an almost flawless transition room to room. Thank you LONGest Yard! I will most certainly be calling you for my future projects.

Very easy going, honest opinions when an issue arose with our staircase. Very flexible. After being paid in full came back out to make a few minor fixes/adjustments that could not be seen until after floor dried. Highly recommend

We hired Tom to refinish our hardwood floors. He was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt, courteous and completed the job when he said he was going to. Even after being paid in full he was happy to come back and make some minor adjustments to the job. Our floors look absolutely amazing and my wife is thrilled at how they came out. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get quality work done.

Tom and his son were a pleasure to work with. They were courteous, trustworthy, and communicative. They helped us out in a very short window before movers arrived and ensured that the job was done by the strict deadline. We would definitely recommend The Longest Yard, Inc.

I can not give enough praise for the work Tom and his son did for me today! He was so professional and helpful on the phone and then delivered nothing but the most professional job well done and very quickly. I will definitely give him more of my business and will feel very good passing along his name to friends and family. Thank you Tom for an amazing experience!

Tom did a good job. Our floor was in poor condition with many dark marks. When he was finished it looked very good. He was very friendly and polite and the job didn't take very long at all.

I am in the rocess of selling my home and this team was great in making sure the right service was done. They talked to me about options and helped me to pick the best based on the situation (the lowest cost). Thye went right to work and were done in hours not days. Great job.
