It did not go. August 31, called and talked to Keith to ask about a visit and estimate. Keith said Austin would call back that day. He did and said that Scott would call the next day. September 1, no call from Scott. September 2, called and talked to Keith again to find out what happened. No explaination, no apology, just Keith telling us that maybe we should just go somewhere else. Must be very busy to turn away business, or just extremely poor at customer service.

Description of Work: The work was done very well and reasonably on time. The technician was very knowledgeable and experienced, and helped us prevent making a mistake by choosing an inappropriate stain color for our project. What was most impressive though was the honesty of the individuals we met with. We met with at least 4 other companies before selecting this one for our refinishing project, several of which claimed that they would need to replace sections of the floor that they felt were beyond sanding, which of course would be extremely expensive! A few of these also claimed to have special sanding equipment to prevent "the nightmare" of traditional sanding solutions and were so arrogant and condescending during the initial meeting that we weren't comfortable with even considering them again. |The estimator of Royal Wood Floors came out an made no such claims. They felt the areas that others wanted to replace were going to turn out just fine (and they turned out great when the project was done) and their sanding methods were fine (I worked from home the entire time and, despite my allergies, didn't find it that bad). |The people doing the refinishing did a great job, very carefully removing and replacing the floor moldings (We had removed all furniture in advance). The put down several samples and demonstrated why the one we originally had in mind would not have been a good choice after all. |Overall we're very please with all aspects of working with the Royal Wood Floors team and would select them again if the need arose.

Outstanding! Quality work. Keith was very prompt in coming over to give an estimate. We had several areas to refinish so this was no easy job. We also needed to have news stairs put in and new quarter rounds in addition to repairing floors that were over 80 years old so a big job indeed. Our living room, dining room, kitchen, closets , front hall and stairs all needed work. The job would take 5 days. Everything had to be moved out. Steve, Nate and Keith came over on Monday at 9:00 am sharp we went over everything. We picked out a stain color after Nate and Steve prepared the wood for some sampling. We then went on vacation. Keith kept us up to date as the project moved along. When we came back on Saturday our floors looked like new. Stan, Nate and Keith know what they are doing. Their finish carpentry was also excellent. The job was outstanding. I would highly recommend them. Thank you gentlemen for making our 1st floor look like new!

Keith, Steve and the Royal Wood Floors team did an absolutely amazing job on my floors. After ripping up the carpet in my house, I was disappointed to find out that the hardwood underneath was in bad shape--old finish, moisture damage, copious amounts of paint and 40 years of carpet filth made it an ugly sight. After a few quotes, I got the best feeling from Keith. He was genuine, knowledgeable, confident that his team could make my floors look great again, and all for a very reasonable price. I'm glad I chose RWF--I was simply astounded by the way the floors came out. All the paint and moisture damage and mid-century floor finish is history, leaving a floor I'm tremendously proud of. I had no idea that my floors could sparkle again in the way they do now. Keith and company were also respectful of my house and my time, and kept me updated on the status of the job. Even though I have no hardwood left in my house to refinish, Keith would be the only call I'd make if I ever needed another floor refinished, and I'd unflinchingly recommend him to anyone needing any sort of flooring service.

Scott arrived promptly, on time. He took his time to ensure that we understood the process and knew when he would be completing the various steps of the process. He made sure that everything was covered in plastic that needed to be, and that dust was contained. We checked progress nightly after work and kept in touch as the project progresses. Scott even took time out to have us come by at lunch to check and approve the color for the floors. We felt very much "in the loop" with the project, and upon completion, we could not have been happier. They looked and felt great! We could not be happier with the outcome - Would HIGHLY recommend Royal Wood Floors!
Description of Work: We worked with Scott at Royal Wood Floors. He was exemplary. He completely saved our floors. We had hired a contractor before Royal Wood Floors who completely and utterly ruined our floors. Scott came by twice to talk to us at great length about what we wanted the floors to look like, and providing us detailed suggestions as to how to get there, including what products he uses, what tools and what techniques - very informative. We had 3 rooms and one small staircase that needed to be sanded down pretty far, and then stained and coated. Our floors were gouged, chipped and uneven. Scott made them look absolutely brand new. He was even able to perfectly match the color we wanted. His sanders are virtually dust free - we can't find any dust in the house! They are now smooth, even, the correct color, and gorgeous.
