Customer told Estate Flooring she was going to remove the flooring herself and would contact Casey if necessary. She was instructed how to properly lay the floor and to call with questions.

The member called and canceled the estimate. Perhaps he had mistaken Estate Flooring with someone else. We would very much have liked the opportunity to bid on this job.

The workers were very good and very efficient. They pretty much did what they said they were going to do. They did a good job and kept it within their price. They were excellent. I had a fine experience with them. I'm thinking of using them again.
Description of Work: We used Estate Flooring for hardwood flooring.

The men were very personable, polite and professional. Work turned out beautiful. Mr. Quinn returned one extra day because he thought an area wasn't up to his standards and redid it. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend the company.
Description of Work: Removed old carpeting from hall and stairway. Arrived on time. Covered all areas to minimize dust and worked very professionally. Did some unexpected repair work, turned out excellent.

The experience went well. You have to plan when they come out. In my case I had to have the toilet removed by the plumber so they could work. The price was good and he showed up on time. He came at the same time for 3 or 4 days in a row. He was very punctual. The worker was perfect for a small job like this.
Description of Work: In one of our bathrooms they tore up half of the floor and changed it so it all matched.

The first assignment went mostly OK. Second job done on Sept 10. Casey said he would sand surface and refinish; fill in scratches and gouges for a uniform finish; and finish a dozen wood steps on an adjacent spiral staircase. After he did floor, and while we were waiting for it to dry, he insisted on full payment & was indignant when I proposed holding back $300 until he returned to finish work -- none of nicks and gouges filled in, spiral steps not begun, and many visible paint spots (he had not wiped or sanded floor as promised!). He said he couldn't come for two weeks, then called nite before to postpone for one more week (attending to clients!). No one returned 12 phone messages I left in last week; Casey came in for less than an hour, scraped at paint spots, and left suddenly without saying a word to me. Now will not return phone calls. I have been polite at all times. His behavior has been strange and hard to understand. Don't pay for work until completed per initial agreement!
Description of Work: Two separate assignments: (1) refinish a newly installed hardwood floor on the second story, to improve the surface finish; and (b) refinish an long, long-standing brightly varnished hardwood floor on the first floor, to make for a uniform look. The old floor had some scratches and gouges, though not a lot, and the new painters (who had done a great job and used dropclothes everywhere) had nonetheless left some small, widely separated paint dots in a few areas. The painting was done in June, long before Estates Flooring came in to finish the first floor.

THE FLOOR WAS NEVER TO HAVE BEEN REFINISHED. A FRESH COAT OF POLYURETHANE WAS APPLIED TO A PREVIOUSLY POLYURETHANED FLOOR AS STATED IN THE PROPOSAL. UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE UNABLE TO HAND SAND OUT ALL OF THE PAINT THAT WAS SPLATTERED ON THE FLOOR AND SUGGEST THE HOMEOWNER USE A DROP CLOTH NEXT TIME HE PAINTS. PHONE CALLS WERE RETURNED FOR MANY DAYS BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO SATISFY THIS MAN. HE WANTED HIS FLOORS COMPLETELY REFINISHED BUT DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR IT.

The day before the work was to be done Casey called saying he would have to reschedule. With much convincing I got him to come out a day later. When I got home to inspect the work, it was a lot quieter, much to my relief. But Casey decided to use nails which left holes everywhere instead of plugs, which we had originally agreed to. Also in one room, to eliminate the squeak, he put in 20 nails and screws in a 2 foot square area, which looks awful. He claims we said we would be laying carpet for sure, so he thought this would be ok. I immediately told him that this had to be fixed, at least with plugs, to make it look decent. I made the mistake of paying in full at the time. Now, two months later and three canceled appointments, he still has not fixed the work. He claims he does not have time to come out. I would not hire him again.
Description of Work: We hired Casey to fix our squeaky wood floors throughout the second floor of our house. We have a 45 year old colonial and the upstairs floors were just awful. Going into it, we knew that the squeak would never go away, but it could be reduced through screwing or nailing the floor down. After discussing two different options, we decided to to use screws that would be covered with wood plugs instead of nails. The plugs could be refinished and look the same as the rest of the floor. We did this becuase we were not sure we were going to lay carpeting or just have the floor refinished.

I WILL ADMIT THAT WE WERE RUNNING A DAY LATE AND DID ASK THE HOMEOWNER TO RESCHEDULE. WE LIKE TO COMPLETE ONE JOB BEFORE BEGINNING ANOTHER AND SOMETIMES A JOB GROWS AS YOU GET INTO IT BECAUSE OF UNEXPECTED FACTORS. THE HOMEOWNER STATED FROM THE START THAT THE FLOOR WOULD BE COVERED WITH EITHER CARPET OR AREA RUGS AND THEY WERE WELL INFORMED THAT THIS MAY NOT BE A PRETTY FIX. I EVEN BROUGHT OVER A SAMPLE OF A SOUNDPROOFING PAD FOR THEM TO TRY OUT UNDER THEIR RUG BUT THEY WERE TOO LAZY TO PUT IT DOWN-A 2 MINUTE JOB AT MOST. THE REASON FOR THE JOB BEING SPREAD OUT OVER 2 MONTHS, THE CUSTOMER KEPT CALLING BACK FOR MORE BECAUSE THE SOLUTION WAS WORKING WELL FOR THEM. CASEY INFORMED THE HOMEOWNER THAT THE 2 FOOT AREA SHE TALKS ABOUT WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND REPAIRED SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO REMOVE THE CARPET BEFORE SELLING THEIR HOME. THE HOMEOWNER WAS VERY RUDE, SCREAMING AND YELLING ON THE PHONE AND THEREFORE WE WERE UNABLE TO SPEAK WITH HER. THE JOB WAS FINISHED AS FAR AS WE KNOW AND THE CARPET WAS TO HAVE BEEN LAID THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE HOMEOWNER STATED SHE WOULD FILL THE NAIL HOLES HERSELF WITH THE FILLER CASEY LEFT FOR HER. WE TRY OUR BEST TO SATISFY OUR CUSTOMERS. I ACTUALLY TRIED TO CONTACT ANGIE'S LIST ABOUT THIS CUSTOMER BEFORE THE JOB WAS COMPLETED. THIS IS A CUSTOMER THAT WE WOULD CHOOSE NOT TO WORK FOR AGAIN.

Casey was prompt and polite and very neat from start to finish. We are very happy with the work he did.
Description of Work: Replaced hardwood flooring in bathroom where previously there had been a leak from the toilet. Casey removed the wood with dry rot, sanded down the wood that could be saved, replaced the wood with new and stained and sealed to match.

Estate Flooring was wonderful! My new floors match the existing wood floors perfectly. The work was completed in a timely fashion with meticulous attention to detail. Everyone I encountered was conscientious and pleasant. I was thrilled with the ease of the process and the fabulous results. Should the need arise, I would definitely use Estate Flooring again in the future, and continue to highly recommend them to my clients.

AS A SALESPERSON MYSELF, THAT'S THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK, SELL THEM ON YOURSELF AND NOT YOUR SERVICE. WELL, I'M NOT BUYING AND I DIDN'T. HE DOESN'T DO THE WORK NOR DOES HE EVEN OVERSEE THE JOB. THEY MAY DO FABULOUS WORK, BUT FOR THE PRICE THEY QUOTED I GOT A BEAUTIFUL JOB AND ON SITE QUALITY CONTROL, TOP NOTCH, AT A MUCH BETTER PRICE (LESS THAN HALF OF THEIR QUOTE) FROM AN A RATED ANGIE'S LIST COMPANY. YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PRICE AND THE SAME QUALITY ELSEWHERE. I DON'T SEE A NEED TO PAY A HEFTY PRICE TO A COMPANY JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR NAME AND THEIR NORTH SHORE LOCATION.
Description of Work: THE OWNER WAS PLEASANT ENOUGH, BUT THEIR PRICES WERE ASTRONOMICAL, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE OTHER BIDS AND MORE THAT 100% MORE THAN I PAID, THE OWNER DIDN'T MEASURE ANYTHING OR EVEN CHECK UNDER THE CARPETS. HE JUST KIND OF SHOT THE BREEZE FOR TWENTY MINUTES.

ESTATE FLOORING CERTAINLY MEASURED THIS HOME, AS I HOLD THE MEASUREMENTS IN MY HAND. OUR RATES ARE COMPETITIVE WITH OUR RIVALS IN THE INDUSTRY. OTHERWISE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS. THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY IS ALWAYS ON THE JOB SITE, AND ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT RUN THE BIG SANDING MACHINE, HE IS A STICKLER FOR DETAIL. WE LET THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE BEST JOB DO THE BIG MACHINE. THE OWNER DOES DETAILING, SUCH AS EDGING AND THE STAIRCASES. THE OWNER ALSO DOES THE COLOR AND ALL FINISHING OF THE FLOORS AND STAIRCASES.
