Dave's Hardwood Floors LLC

Description of Work: They sanded and stained my floors. Refinished the floor.

Description of Work: He came to my house, measured, gave me a verbal estimate. I asked for a written confirmation of the estimate before I gave him a deposit. He said he'd email, but it never came. I called back several times to ask when the estimate would come, as I wanted to have the work done immediately. He disappeared from the face of the earth and I never heard from him again.

Description of Work: Lightly refinish existing hardwood floors

Description of Work: This business can't even bother to return inquiries about doing a new floor installation.

Description of Work: Dave repaired water damaged hard wood floors.

Description of Work: Refinish our old oak hardwood floors including move furniture, sand, stain, 3 coats of polyurethane, add new foot molding trim, replace furniture for about 1400 square feet. Whole process took about 7 days.

Description of Work: Installed new oak hardwood floors in our family room and refinished the floors in two other rooms.

Description of Work: I was trying to hire Dave to repair my wood floors. He came out to do an estimate and gave me a price.

Description of Work: Replaced a combination of 1000+ sq.ft. of carpet, linoleum and prefinished hardwood with absolutely gorgeous 3 1/4inch white oak hardwoods on the entire first floor of our home, including foyer, dining room, library, kitchen, breakfast area, office, hallway, backstair steps and landing.

Description of Work: whole house approx. 1300 sq feet hardwoods throughout house. 5" hickory. Price included material, installation of wood and quarter round throughout plus sanding and staining already stained staircase.

Description of Work: Pulled carpet and installed hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms. Install/sand/finish.

Description of Work: Dave pulled up carpet in the downstairs and old hardwood in the front hall. He installed 3/4 inch hickory in about 900 square feet of our home. He installed molding all around.

Description of Work: Replaced a severely buckled portion of a pre-finished hardwood floor about 100 sq ft in area.

Description of Work: We had the carpet in our over the garage apartment replaced with hardwood (laminate) flooring. We also had the flooring in a downstairs room, which was a double bedroom, replaced with the same hardwood (laminate) flooring. Dave was quick to respond to my call and came promptly to give a quote. He was also contracted to begin fairly quickly with the work. He did require payment for the material before work began. I don't know if this is common practice now or not since it's been about 5 years since we have had any major work done at our home. I have never had to do this before and was quite skeptical about it, but paid. I had assumed I had paid for all the material (which as it turned out I had not, explanation below). Dave was supposed to begin on a Wednesday and was not able to begin until a Friday, he said due to the material not having arrived to where ever he ordered it from. He was apologetic and did arrive Friday morning on time to begin work - it did however make me extremely nervous, since I'd already paid him for the material. There were a couple of problems that occurred along the job, none of which was extremely bad, but which future customers need to watch out for. His estimate was VERY confusing. One of the line items stated "removal of carpet, staples, etc", which I assumed meant REMOVAL of the carpet. Any time in the past 27 years of marriage we had had carpet changed or other flooring removed the quote always included removal of the carpet. Dave only meant taking it out of my house, not disposing of it. Some of these problems may be of a cultural nature, he is from the north and said many times, "this is how we do it up north". It's never been the way I've had it done here in Georgia. He is new to Georgia. So we were left to find our own way to dispose of over 1100 square feet of removed carpet. The next little hiccup came concerning the quarter round molding. Apparently he had not ordered enough, by over 140' worth, and then could not find any more molding to match the color he had already put down. I ended up going to Home Depot myself and picking up molding that while not the same color, was not too far off. It still seemed a very unprofessional thing to do. A more picky person probably would have required him to take up all the molding he had already put down and go get the total amount that matched and replace it with that. The next hiccup came with the confusion over the final bill. Apparently he was adding a labor charge into the material AND a separate line item labor charge, which I discovered while going over the bill, and mostly because I had gone to buy the remaining molding myself. I noticed that I had purchased what was almost the most expensive molding Home Depot sold, but Dave had charged me more than $.60 cents more per foot for the molding he had purchased. He readily admitted that he had added a "labor charge" to the price. When I questioned him about the separate line item for labor his response to me was that no one had ever questioned him about that before and that everyone adds some to the cost of the material for profit. Perhaps this is true. I'm not certain of that, I know when we have had work done in the past there has always been a separate charge for material, and for labor. With all of that being said, the work Dave and his assistant did was excellent. They worked hard, worked long hours and did a very good job. The discrepancies on the bill could be the way work like that is always done, I don't know for sure. I just have never found it to be the case. Just be aware that if you are having carpet removed to put in your hardwood floor that "removal" does not mean actual disposing of the old carpet, and to be sure to be very certain of the line items on your bill. He did seem rather surprised about the Angie's List coupon that I showed him and I kind of felt he was not prepared for that because that was when he started trying to add some little things to the bill like tax, which I had assumed had been included in the original quote - it was not. The Angie's List coupon did not specify that it needed to be shown at the time of the quote. Again, I would use Dave again, I would just know now what to be very aware of and require a much more specific quote. Perhaps a more savvy homeowner would have known these things, but we have had quite a bit of work done over the years so - that's why I thought perhaps it was more of a differing way of doing business between the north and south.

Description of Work: We have a 1960s ranch which we are renovating top to bottom. We had hardwood floors thru most of the home, BUT they had been covered up by carpet in many rooms, and the carpet pad was put in upside down so there was gummy residue all over the floors where the petroleum in it broke down and stuck to the floor (imagine tiny pieces of gum all over!) We were missing hardwooods in part of our kitchen so we needed new woven in, and the rest of the kitchen where there were original hardwoods they had been covered up by two layers of linoleum and then ceramic tile. In the dining room area there were stick on self adhesive tiles under the carpet which had to be scraped up so we had a lot of work cut out for us. Dave came in refinished everything and wove in new as need and the floors look AMAZING! It's hard to believe it's even the same house!

Description of Work: 30-year-old hardwood floors that had been covered with carpet were re-refinished in living room / dining room

Description of Work: Dave installed about 330 square feet of laminate flooring in two bedrooms of our condo. Prior to putting down the floor, he had to take up the old carpet and the tacking strips that are nailed into the concrete.

Description of Work: I called Dave's Hardwood floors after a disappointing experience with another vendor. Dave responded right away which was good for me, since I had just closed on my house and was planning the move-in within the week. I wanted to have my upstairs hardwoods sanded/stained/finished. He came out, reviewed the work I was planning to get done, and he explained the process step by step. We talked about color, pros & cons of the color I selected, and we went with the ebony. We arranged a schedule and I really appreciated the fact, I could leave my hide a key and let Dave do his thing on the 2nd day when I had to work later than expected. The floors turned out absolutely terrific. I had to call him and let him know I thought they really looked like a work of art! I plan to call Dave back when it's time to put the hard woods in the family room.

Description of Work: I used Dave's Hardwood Floors LLC last year probably in November. They cleaned and finished the wood floor in one room.

Description of Work: Dave replaced some areas of my hardwood floors that had sustained water damage.

Description of Work: Dave's Hardwood Floors gave me a quote within July for hardwood flooring.

Description of Work: We had hardwood flooring installed in our dining room, living room and foyer. Dave came over and walked us through the entire process reviewing underneath the carpet to ensure the subflooring (plywood) was in place to nail in the hardwood flooring with the proper size nails properly. His estimate was fair and negotiable. On the first day, Dave and his assistant took out the carpeting (which Dave was able to recycle at no cost of removal to us - a plus) and the slate foyer. Everything was taken down to the plywood subflooring and level. The next day his assistant came over and put in the hardwood flooring and trim molding was installed. Dave worked with us to come up with the proper color stain match that we were looking for. Dave and his assistant laid down the stain in a day and then after a day of setting came back and laid down two coats of polyurethane. He advised us that these were powerful odors considering the amount of space covered and recommended not staying in the house for a couple of days. This was very true and important. Take the advice and arrange for a hotel or a friend/family's house to stay at nearby while this part of the process is being done.

Description of Work: We used Dave's Hardwood Floors to do our hardwood floors. He removed the carpet in the dining and living rooms and removed the fake stone flooring in the foyer and then prepared the sub floor. Then he installed hardwood flooring and stained it to match the woodwork.

Description of Work: Old carpeting was removed. Floors were sanded and refinished. New quarter moulding was also installed.

Description of Work: Refinished hardwood floors throughout house.
