Went perfectly.
Description of Work: I had 600 sq feet of wood laminate flooring from Lumber Liquidators. Needed it installed ASAP for a tenant Garden apartment. Called five different places; Chris at A & B was quick to respond, showed interest in the job and said he we be able to come and finish the job in one day. His prices was $250 less than the closest competitor and the immediacy of his team to be able to come and do the job won't the work. And the installation was perfect; they're talented. Would use again in a heartbeat.

This company did a nice job, but if you have to live in your house when this is work is underway, I'm not sure there's any way to make it a good experience. I got 5 estimates before hiring A&B. They were one of the 2 lowest estimates. A&B did the work in 4 days, and I expected it to take longer. They worked long hours to get the job done in that time. They helped me move a couple of larger pieces (VERY helpful), and they changed out some risers that weren't included in the original estimate. They also filled in some big cracks. The new flooring looks great, and the quality seems good. I hesitate to rave because it's one of those things where time will tell. But so far so good! There is one room where carpet meets hardwood that needs some work - apparently I need to call a carpet guy to fix it. I was warned, but I'm still a bit confused about why I now need to call a carpet guy when these guys are FLOORING guys. (carpet is flooring, isn't it?) This was such a stressful experience. I'm glad it's over and done with! When I have to have my basement floors redone, I'll call these guys. I won't want to, but I will.
Description of Work: Replace carpet with hardwood on stairs (2 levels), a long hallway, and a landing. Sand and refinish hardwood floors in sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, living room, and stairs. Finish all with 3 coats of water-based finish.

Got 7 quotes and this was by far the lowest price, but the quality was good. Workers were clean and the floors look great. All requests were done including priming molding reinstalling closet doors. Took 3 full days. Same company, with non unioned workers, that installed all hardwood floors in large town home complex.
Description of Work: Had carpet and tile removed in 300 square foot entry room and prefinished hardwood installed with subfloor. Also had carpet on 13 stairs removed and wood installed on both stairs and riser.

This company is experienced and offers reasonable pricing. They arrived on time to measure and give an estimate. They also arrived as scheduled when they came out to lay the tile. It looks incredible and they are a great company to do business with.

They were prompt with their estimate, and provided a fair price for the job. The work was scheduled quickly. The workers arrived on time, were polite, and did a thorough job and addressed all the items that were pointed out before the work started. They accept credit card payments, which is extremely convenient.
Description of Work: Sanding/Refinishing of hardwood floors in Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Powder Room, and Foyer. Apply two coats of polyurethanes finish.

Overall they did a fine job and the price was great. The were very clean (finishing floors on site creates lots of dust and they basically sealed the area they worked in).
Description of Work: Installed new oak flooring in our den, living room, and dining room. Also had the existing oak flooring refinished in the kitchen and foyer.

VERY PROMPT TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE AND SCHEDULE THE WORK. THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS AVERAGE. THE AREA WHERE THEY FAILED THE MOST WAS IN THE LACK OF PROPER SUPERVISION AND INSTRUCTION AT THE JOB SITE. THE NEW FLOOR WAS LAID THE WRONG DIRECTION WHEN INSTALLED. THERE WERE NUMEROUS ERRORS MADE IN THE DETAIL WORK THAT WAS REQUESTED MAINLY DUE TO THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION TO THEIR WORKERS. A 4-5 DAY PROJECT TOOK THEM ABOUT 4 WEEKS TO COMPLETE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO KEEP COMING BACK TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES. THEY DID NOT DO A SATISFACTORY JOB OF CLEANING UP. ANOTHER ANNOYING THING, THE BILLING OFFICE CONTINUALLY REQUESTED THE FINAL PAYMENT BEFORE I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE WORK.
Description of Work: INSTALLED NEW HARDWOOD FLOORS IN FAMILY ROOM, KITCHEN, ENTRY, HALL AND ONE BEDROOM. BUFFED AND SEAL COATED LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM AND STAIRS.
