Adrian was very accommodating. He answered my calls immediately and scheduled my work within a couple of days. The work was beautiful and Adrian was a pleasure to work with.

In terms of the quality of refinishing the floors, Mara's was great. All the floors look great, and this was no small feat given what some parts of the floors looked like before the refinishing. Adrian was very personable and friendly, clearly explaining the job and the price up front. All of this was done in 2 days after we closed on our house and before we moved in. Because of this, we were not around for most of the work. This led to 2 major problems though. They worked past midnight the first day running the power sander and annoying our new neighbors. They did not properly dispose of their waste materials, including old carpet pads, old flooring, dust from sanding, etc. They put the waste in our neighbors trash and recycling cans. Now we have to get it removed ourselves. The only excuse for this lack of professionalism is that they primarily work in Chicago, where dumping waste in random alley dumpsters is generally ok, that's not the case in Oak Park.
Description of Work: They removed carpet and linoleum tiles that covered stairs and all 3 bedrooms upstairs (approximatley 600 square feet). They refinished hardwood floors that were underneath carpet (including stairs). Two small sections of hardwood floor was fixed in master bedroom by replacing boards and refinishing to match the rest of the hardwood floor. They refinished scuffed hardwood in small kitchen.

Adrian and his team did a beautiful job with the floors. I was on a very tight time line and they were able to start immediately on the job and work until it got done. They even worked on Father's Day! I was very pleased with the service and the great job they did on the floors.
Description of Work: Refinishing of floors in four rooms and installation of hardwood floors in two rooms.

The phone call was very argumentative and I ended up saying we weren't interested. I don't know if the representative was trying to just do a phone estimate (with the extent of work we needed to have done that would seem imprudent). However, the person on the phone asked me ''who told you you needed insulation'' and that was the basic gist of the conversation. He also argued that subfloor couldn't be removed, kept on asking me about what the current floor was, argued that you can't level the floor without the old subfloor etc. I just wanted an estimate. I don't know why there needed to be a combative phone call. Many of these questions could have easily been answered upon viewing the property.
Description of Work: I just called for an estimate for leveling floors, adding insulation, and installing new hardwood.

They were very nice guys and worked very hard. They worked until the wee hours of the morning to get the job done on time. The floors look great to me, although the finish could be a bit better. I feel like I got a great deal for the price (5.25/sqft) and plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Adrian and his team installed new red oak hardwood floors in two small rooms (around 400 sqft).

I was very impressed with Adrian, the owner. He quoted the job for me, purchased the wood himself, without any money from me, and came out the morning of the job. He introduced me to his 2 workers and checked in during the day and when the job was finished that evening. He was very professional and the two men did a very good job. We are happy with the work and we would use them again. I would also recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Installed new wood floors in bedroom.

Adrian came over within a few hours of asking for an estimate and his price was very good. He answered all our questions before and after the job. He was there to get the workers started and at the end. He is very professional and I will hire him whenever I have need of floor work. He is also a very nice guy.
Description of Work: The workers were on time and hard working. They had to sand and refinish 2 rooms upstairs and redo the downstairs kitchen. The upstaris floors had ulgy swirls on some parts and deep nicks on other parts. These floors are over 100 years old. The floors came out great, with all the past mistakes erased. I think it took longer than expected but they finished it and we are happy with the result.

They showed up on time, and completed the work in a timely manner. Price was very good.
Description of Work: They sanded my floors, 1100sf of old wide board pine. Lots of sanders don't want to do the job, because the wood is very old. But Mara's did the job at a really good price too. $1/ft for polyurethane. We used the Swedish finish for $1.25/ft. Looks great.
