They did a fantastic job! They were very professional. Came out within a day of contacting them and gave me an estimate after 2-3 days. The estimate was pretty accurate and the finished job is really great. They were very service oriented.
Description of Work: They refinished my wood floors - a hallway and two rooms.

They sealed off other rooms pretty well. You can't escape dust with this type of work, especially with four rooms. Everything went very well. There was a bit of a mix-up about the Swedish finish. We initially decided to avoid it due to the odor. The workers came prepared to do that finish and not the other. We decided to just go with it rather than postpone the work. We are happy with the finish, but must tell anyone getting the Swedish finish to get out of the house. You will not be able to stand the smell. It can literally knock you over. The result it great. Just plan on not being around.
Description of Work: They refinished 3 existing hardwood floors and installed and finished a beautiful new hardwood floor in our dining room. They also installed new door casing in the dining room. They removed carpet in two rooms and moved a very heavy three piece china cabinet.

From the initial estimate to completion, everything went very well. The two man crew worked incredibly hard. It was a four and a half day process (including a Saturday), starting very early every morning. We had the same two guys every day. Had used them previously, and would definitely use them again. You would be hard pressed to determine where the old hardwood ends and the new begins.
Description of Work: Had them take up the ceramic tile in a large and awkward foyer/entry area and bathroom. They then laid 3/4 inch oak hardwood, integrating it with other hardwood in the adjoining dining room, living room and family room. Also custom crafted wood vents for two openings.

Response was excellent. Michael agreed to start the work within 2 weeks, which was much appreciated since my very negative experiences with other bidders. Bob, Wayne and Mike were great and the finished job is beautiful although there was more dust than I expected from reading their information.

When I had follow up questions, he was quick and thorough in his responses. I was very impressed by their customer service. Cost was very competitive.

Our experience was excellent. Mark and Ishmael were very friendly and professional. They talked with us about everything they were doing. They even finished a day early and cleaned up nicely. The floor looks great! Mike gave us the Angie's List discount even though we weren't quite at $2000. Their estimate was several hundred dollars cheaper than the two other companies we consulted.

We elected not to hire since the price was identical to another highly rated company which was nearby. The estimator was prompt, likeable and knowledgeable and came to estimate on a Saturday. With such a big job, it seemed better to have a contractor in the neighborhood. If they had been even a bit cheaper we would have used them no question.

Beautiful work. Saw the work they had done for a big job at a friend's home. Price was reasonable according to another remodeling professional who was doing some work on our home. The floors were light oak and we had them redone in a golden brown. Looks brand new. Professional, on-time, helpful. Can't say enough good things. I scheduled way in advance because I wanted to have the floors done during spring break, but I could have had them done much sooner.
Description of Work: Sanded, stained, and finished oak floors in foyer, hall, kitchen, and bathroom.

When I called, the earliest appointment for an estimate was several weeks out. Since I was not pressed for time, I went with the date. When I said I would need the workers to move the furniture, I was told that would be an extra charge. No one ever got back to me with that information or any other follow-up.

Response from Wizard Of Wood Floors Ltd
THE CUSTOMER CALLED US AROUND LABOR DAY WHICH IS A VERY BUSY TIME FOR THE FLOORING BUSINESS. WHEN I WENT TO HER HOME AND GAVE HER A QUOTE, I TOLD HER THAT IF SHE WANTED FURNITURE MOVED, IT WOULD BE SO MUCH PER MAN PER HOUR. THE MORE KNICKKNACKS AND FURNITURE SHE WANTED MOVED, THE MORE EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE. AT THAT TIME, SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT FURNITURE OR ITEMS SHE WANTED MOVED. THERE WAS NOT A FOLLOW UP CALL BECAUSE WE WERE WAITING FOR HER TO MAKE A DECISION. WE ARE NOT A HIGH PRESSURE COMPANY AND WAIT FOR OUR CUSTOMERS TO MAKE A DECISION.

THE CUSTOMER WANTED US TO QUOTE HER ON A PREFINISHED MIRAGE FLOOR AND THE COMPANY SHE WENT WITH, PUT DOWN AN UNFINISHED FLOOR WHICH IS CHEAPER. SO, SHE WAS NOT COMPARING EQUAL FLOORING. IF SHE HAD GIVEN US A CHANCE TO QUOTE THE SAME WAY, I'M SURE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS COMPETITIVE AS THE COMPANY SHE WENT WITH.

Response from Wizard Of Wood Floors Ltd
WE PRICED THE FLOOR WITH A 3" AND 5" MIXTURE OF RED OAK AND THE PRICE INCLUDED A VERY EXPENSIVE FINISH. WE USE HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. IT IS JUST LIKE WHEN YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR A CAR, THERE ARE CHEAPER MODELS AND MORE EXPENSIVE MODELS. THE CHEAPER ONES DO NOT HAVE THE QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT THE MORE EXPENSIVE MODELS HAVE. WE PRICE OUR FLOORS WITH HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. WE COULD USE CHEAPER PRODUCTS, BUT THE FLOOR WOULD NOT LAST AS LONG AND THEN THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT BE HAPPY.

I had Wizard of Wood at my old house and was very pleased, so when we moved and wanted new hardwood floors installed, I called them immediately. I couldn't see having other people (companies) come into the quote since I was so pleased with Wizards work the first time.

It has been a month and a half since Marek and Ishmael finished our floor, and it is one of the best parts of the house. In fact, given the amount of work they put in, I could not believe the price was so low. This was an excellent experience.

Pete was an excellent representative for Wizard of Wood. He explained each step, presented all options, and completed the work ahead of schedule.
Description of Work: Wizard of Wood removed carpet and installed a wood floor in my family room, which they wove into an existing wood kitchen floor. They refinished the kitchen and laundry to match the new floor. They also removed carpet from stairs and hall before they refinished the exposed area of my wood staircase.

My husband called once and left a message regarding getting an estimate on the project. He did not mention Angie's list, and his phone call was not returned, thus the mediocre professionalism and responsiveness ratings. I phoned a few days later, name dropped Angie's list, and received a prompt (10 minute) phone call back. Mr. Galloway, while very friendly and easy to communicate with on the phone, came back with a quote of $3800. The company we hired is doing the project for $2850. That's a pretty steep difference. I will report on work done by Advanced Hardwood after the job is completed.

Response from Wizard Of Wood Floors Ltd
MEMBER STATED THAT HER HUSBAND CALLED ONCE AND WE DID NOT RETURN HIS CALL. WE CHECKED OUR CALL LIST AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL FROM HIM. HE MAY HAVE CALLED ANOTHER FLOOR FINISHING COMPANY. REGARDING THE PRICE DIFFERENCE, SHE DID NOT WANT US TO COME OUT AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE; SHE WANTED US TO QUOTE OVER THE PHONE AND GIVE HER A BALLPARK ESTIMATE. SHE WANTED A WHITE STAIN FINISH OVER PINE FLOORS AND I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT PINE WAS A SOFT WOOD AND IT WOULD NOT HOLD UP UNLESS SHE WENT WITH EXTRA FINISH COATS OF 4 COATS OF THE SWEDISH FINISH OR 6 COATS OF WATER BASED POLYURETHANE FINISH. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN THE BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE. IF SHE WOULD HAVE LET US COME OUT TO SEE THE PROJECT SO WE WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE GIVING A QUOTE ON, AND SHE DIDN'T GO WITH THE EXTRA COATS OF FINISH, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE.

Michael and his crew saved me. I had just fired the previous company for not showing up. They installed my flooring at the last minute and did a terrific job. They were neat and fast and the flooring looks beautiful. I will use this company in the future and recommend them to anyone who is looking to install wood flooring. BRAVO.

Mike's crew is extremely professional. They did a great job sanding old pine floors that continually ate the sandpaper on their machines. The floors were barely salvageable, but now they look pretty good. The only suggestion is they could have been a little more careful covering rooms that weren't included so they didn't get dusty. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Repair and refinish oak and pine floors in 1920 farmhouse. Wood floors were in pretty tough shape and had been carpeted for 40 years. Job included 2 bedrooms, 2 hallways, stairway (treads only), office, living room and dining room: in all about 1200 square feet.
