We used Wizard of Wood in 2018 to refinish an existing hardwood floor and expand it into two additional rooms. Four years later, the floor still looked great, so we had floors installed in four bedrooms and a hallway. Again, the results were great! There was lots of attention to detail around a curved staircase and a fireplace. Wizard of Wood was easy to work with, completed the work on time and as quoted.

Our floors look brand new!!! We went from dated bowling alley yellow/orange to a rich matte dark tone. The entire process flowed well (four day process for us) and the crew was professional and hard working. We would definitely recommend and hire again if needed!

My floors look AMAZING! Ray took his time making sure everything was just perfect. He was punctual, mindful of our living in the home while the work was being done and I had no sanding dust at all in my home! My husband and I comment about the beauty of the floor every day now. I would highly recommend them!

They came early Mon. at 8am and got most of it done the 1st day. They finished up with about 2 hrs. the next day. I chose the Bona Traffic HD Commercial Grade water based urethane. It dries fast so it cuts down on the time tat it takes. Wizard of Wood Floors offers several options and explains the pros and cons of ea. option. The guys did very good quality work. Other paces are cheaper but they don't offer as many options. The clear coat looks very nice. I also had them replace some base board.

I recently bought a 55 year old house with oak floors throughout. The finish on the floors was damaged and dull, and the crew at Wizard of Wood floors brought them back to life. They arrived on time and kept me well-informed about what was going on. I had them use the dustless sanders, and there was almost no dust. When they were finished, the floors looked beautiful. Mike was very accommodating and also helped me solve a problem that was above and beyond what he and his team were hired to do. I would highly recommend wizard of wood floors to anyone wanting to get their floors refinished.

Mike and his worker were very professional in all our interactions. They showed up as promised and left a clean work area each day. I was given a sample of various colors right on the wood so I could see how it would really look. They did a fantastic job and we are so happy with the final product. It was such a relief as we had the floor done a month before by someone who didn't know what he was doing and left us with a not so great looking floor. Now I feel good when we get compliments about how beautiful our floor looks! We absolutely Love it!

Wizard of Wood Floors did an awesome job! They were efficient, on time and did everything that was promised. We had new floors installed in our family room and hallway. Our existing floors in the dining room and kitchen were refinished to match the new floors. They did a great job in putting up plastic to contain the dust in the rooms that were not being done. Even after they left everyday, they cleaned everything up so we could function in our home. It was a big project, but well worth it. The end product was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with our floors. 6 months after our floors were installed, we noticed a splinter in the floor in our family room. I called the owner, Mike Galloway to let him know. Him and his team immediately got back to me and within 2 days the splinter was repaired and my floor looks as good as new. That is true customer service!!

My wife and I are very pleased with the job done by Wizard of Wood. We were completely remodeling our kitchen, and wanted to refinish the oak hardwood floors at the same time. This required careful coordination with our kitchen remodeling crew over a period of several months. The Wizard of Wood people were extremely helpful and accommodating in meeting a somewhat chaotic schedule, and we appreciated that very much. In addition, we changed the color of the floor stain, and after careful color mixing got exactly the stain color we wanted. After staining they put two coats of their best finish, and then waited until our kitchen was done to apply the third. The work was perfect. I would highly recommend this company..

Excellently. This was the second time I used Mike the wizard. The forst time was several years ago for sanding and refinishing. This time was primarily to install new maple floors in the great room and refinish what I had. Everything matched perfectly. In fact it looked so good that I the wizard put maple on the floors in the remaining 3 rooms on the first level. I have recommended to a neighbor already. Crew was fast and clean.

Warning Don’t use Wizard of Wood Floors if you want your finished floor to match existing floor color and shine. My entire first floor is wood with an orange/brown color with high gloss. The kitchen that Wizard of Wood Floors refinished is yellowish with low shine. It’s a complete mismatch and is obviously different from the rest of the house. The kitchen is a high traffic area. So, I have had it refinished several times. The other companies have always matched the color and shine perfectly. I can understand the match not being perfect, due to aging, etc. But, the Wizard of Wood Floors color and shine is so far off, that it is hard to understand. If all of the other companies could match it perfectly, why couldn’t Wizard of Wood Floors at least come close? Now, I will have to have the floor refinished next year by a reliable company. So, the $1700 that I paid them was wasted. Wizard of Wood Floors not only did a bad job, they are also much more expensive than other companies.

Response from Wizard Of Wood Floors Ltd
We take our reputation on Angie's List very seriously. This review is the FIRST that we have heard that this customer was unhappy. In fact, Mr. [Member Name Removed] seemed very happy with the floors when we were finished and paid in full right away. At no time did he show or tell anyone that he was unhappy. When I went out to do the estimate at the [Member Name Removed] residence, [Member Name Removed] only wanted to sand, stain and finish the kitchen/eating area and not the adjoining rooms. I clearly explained to him that the other floors in the adjoining rooms had "ambered" and faded over the years. Plus, with a fresh resand in the kitchen/eating area it would be difficult to get an exact stain match to these adjoining older wood floors. I explained that we could get close; however, they would not match. There are many different manufactures of stains and each manufacturer makes many different stain colors. I have no idea what stain was used when they did his floor many years ago, or even if there was a custom mixed stain that was used. He was emphatic about not wanting to spend the money to do the other floors; and that if I could get the stain color close that it would be fine. As for the sheen, I also explained to Mr. [Member Name Removed] that finish sheens from the same manufacturer do vary from even batch to batch. Also if a finish coat dries faster or slower, that will also affect the sheen. It is risky to only refinish the wood floor in the middle of older wood floors and expect it to completely match many years later. I clearly explained to him that there is a good chance that the floor sheen would not match. He again stated that he would be "OK" with the sheen variance. We sent him a proposal and he agreed for us to do the project. We sanded the floor that he requested and then put down multiple stain color samples onto the freshly sanded floor for him to choose a stain color. This way he could see the stain color on the floor inside the home with the correct light to see how it matched the other surrounding older wood floors. Mr. [Member Name Removed] selected and approved the stain color which we used on his floor. We also explained to him that over time this floor will "amber" and more closely match the other existing floors. Again, he was happy with the stain color. We applied the finish coats and never heard that he was unhappy with the sheen. We also went back to the [Member Name Removed] residence and moved the refrigerator back as well as the kitchen table once the floor finish had dried. Still, he never said anything about being unhappy with the color or finish sheen. If at any point, he let us know that he was unhappy, then we could have dealt with his concerns. Since Mr. [Member Name Removed] never let us know he was unhappy, it seems the reason for this bad review may simply be because he is unhappy with his own decisions. If a different wood floor company actually refinished his floor in the past without any problems, then I am not sure as to why he would choose a different company that did not agree with his requested method.

Mike was very punctual and responsive throughout the process and accommodated my scheduling request. I had the carpet in the living room taken up and the hardwood underneath refinished. When they pulled the carpet there were significant stains from our dogs. Mike came out and reviewed the situation with the workers and they did an excellent job replacing some pieces and refinishing the floors. They also refinished the dining, kitchen and hall areas. The men who did the work were very friendly, courteous and accommodating to any issues. They arrived on time each day and worked hard and the work was done on schedule. The floors look great. The price was very reasonable for the work performed.

Real pros. A little more in cost, but well worth it in the lack of stress and anxiety I've heard about with other suppliers of this type. From the first moment of contact they were efficient, fast, and they did what they said they would. They even wrote a Thank You note expressing gratitude for our hiring of them.

This went beautifully. From getting Mike's estimate within a day of my initial inquiry, to completion of the work only 2 1/2 days after it started, the entire project was handled professionally. The crew arrived shortly after 7 am each day and did a great job of confining dustto the rooms they were working on. Oh, and the floors look fantastic! I can't imagine a better experience overall, and enthusiastically recommend Wizard of Wood to anyone who needs floor installation or refinishing.

Awesome, everything was too notch & finished in 2 days which was 1-2 days shorter than expected. Didn't have to leave house due to fumes (Bona heavy traffic 3-coat finish). Dust was minimal & would recommend going for extra dust collection option.
