Description of Work: Bast put in a new staircase for us. We were so fortunate as the workman assigned to our project (Dean) was absolutely fabulous! He made suggestions to improve our design and carried out the plan flawlessly. He was a true professional--punctual and respectful. He let us know when he would be at our house and we were never left wondering what was going to happen when. The staircase is so beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Bast --and ask for Dean!

Description of Work: Ive used them twice. I had water damage to kitchen hardwoods. They seemed professional, but after job a month or so later I had more board warpings further away from the leakage area and they had to redo the entire job. Understandable, but seems like they could have caught it the first time. Ive had them back out for another repair in same area 2 years later unrelated to first incident. My real complaint now is alot of scheduling problems. They are always punctual but the corresp setting up scheduling was very poor. It could be very isolated to me. I understand everybody s high ratings but my experience was less than great probably an exception to the rule.

Bast's quote was too high for us to choose them. Their customer service was good and they were knowledgeable.
The new wood was adjacent to the wood that was installed years ago. There was an obvious difference in the coloration because the old wood had faded. We had the floor sanded and refinished. The quality of their work and the quality of the material they use makes the difference. They are quite professional. This was the third time that we used them, and each time we have been satisfied. They are easy to work with. They are not the least expensive. They are definitely on my list of companies to contact for future work.
Description of Work: We used Bast Floors & Staircases to remove some ceramic floor tiles and install laminated wood that was unfinished.

Due to our indecision we worked with Bast over a period of 8 months. The entire team at Bast was extremely patient and supportive of us as we tried to narrow down choices of wood. They were more than willing to order in samples and allowed us to view them in our home to see how well it would work. Matt Johnson educated us on the different types of wood and came to the house to take measurements. Stacey & Michelle helped us by sending information and scheduling appointments. The installation team was very impressive. The entire house was installed in 2 days. The crew was very professional and experienced in their work. They made sure we were satisfied with the look of the wood as they progressed and were very neat in their work. They did a fantastic job matching the wood to the tile without the need of transitions. They had no problem when I went into a room they had finished and I did not like the color of one of the boards and asked to replace it. They were able to remove it and replace it without any problems.
Description of Work: Installed new engineered wood floors throughout the house.
Bast was incredibly professional and the gentleman that did the work for me, Paul, did an absolutely beautiful job. I did a lot of research before I began this project, and got a lot of estimates, but Bast was my first (and should have been my last stop). I am very happy with the work they did, and gladly give them two thumbs up.
Description of Work: Bast removed existing carpeting from a stairwell, resurfaced the underlying stairs, added hardwood treads, stone risers, and replaced existing foyer tile with same stone used in risers.
They were absolutely excellent. They installed flooring in our house and did a very professional job. They could not do the installation because we were showing that we had moisture in our floor. It turned out that when we had our pool put in 1979 and they did not cap the sprinkler system correctly, so for years and years when we put the sprinkler system on the water was coming into our foundation. We had to make sure that it was done correctly. They did a fabulous job and I would recommend them. We spent about $10,000 on that work and the price seemed to be right at the time. They were not the least expensive, but were the best qualified.
Description of Work: We used Bast Floors & Staircases in January 2002 in thing to do our floor in a large family room, living room, dinning area and a bedroom.

It was an excellent experience, I had no problems. They were easy to work with, easy to schedule and easy to deal with. You could go to their show room, ask for samples and take them home. If you needed them to come out they would, there were absolutely no problems at all working with them.
Description of Work: Bast Floors & Staircases installed two hardwood floors in two different rooms. They prepared the surface then came back the next day and laid down the new floor.

From start to finish, the crew was there on time each day and they finished the project before their projected time. There are a lot of runs in the polyurethane, but they were willing to fix these. Overall the floors are beautiful and the first thing anyone notices when they walk in the house.
Description of Work: Sanded and refinished 1500 square feet of oak and pine floors.

Really well. Because of the fumes from the finishing, we ended up camping in the backyard for 4 nights. If you can swing it, I'd recommend getting a hotel, but it was fun. We get a lot of praise for the floor

They are very professional, were on time. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. We were very satisfied with the finished product.
Description of Work: They removed ceramic tile from the kitchen floor and put in oak flooring that matched the original floor. They sanded and refinished the original floor in the adjoining family room so it would look new.

Chris Newcom was very helpful and responsive throughout the sales process in helping us pick out the right materials for our tastes and needs. After we signed the contract, however, we never heard from Chris again despite 2 messages left at the office for him regarding concerns we had during the installation. The crew (4 people) arrived pretty much on time and set up their work areas and materials without asking about our needs or preferences - creating some inconveniences. Two gentlemen were here consistently until the floor was done and did great work. The onsite supervisor, Marcello, was in and out during the installation. Overall, we are satisfied with the final product, but the crew was very sloppy with the detail work such as molding, replacing doors, and cleaning adhesive off the floor prior to leaving. We had to call them back multiple times to take care of details that they said they would handle. Communication and coordination with the office and onsite super was bad!
Description of Work: Replaced approximately 1,200 square feet of carpet and tile with hickory hardwood flooring. Job included removing all carpet and tile, and preparing the cement slab for installation of the flooring. Also included removing and replacing baseboards on a small portion of the job as well as installing quarter-round molding all around the baseboards. Although we cannot say for sure that we hire this company again, we would definitely consider other alternatives before making that decision.

John and Roger were on time and reliable through out the project - which took about 6 work days. They treated our home like their own. Politely asked how and where to set up their equipment and materials so as not to disrupt our living or our working - both my wife and I have home offices. They were detailed and conscientious in their work and creative in working around issues and contstraints posed by the construction of the existing staircase. The only detail that they missed was puttying the nail holes on the new treads before the final finishing was completed. Scheduling Chris to do the final sanding and finishing of the new treads and rails with the office was a hassle...but Chris did a great job. The office staff are not very customer-focused when it comes to communication, coordination and scheduling with customers - from our experience.
Description of Work: The Staircase department rebuilt an existing staircase, pulling up carpet and replacng with hickory treads, adding two hickory handrails and adding decorative trim and molding.
