Advanced Refinishing

Description of Work: Money was paid to pull up old oak floorring and replace with cherry. Michael Murphy did not perform services and changed his number and/or blocks mine.

Description of Work: Refinishing 100 yr. old wood oak floors, asked for money up front and each week before getting sanding finished. Left work unfinished and gouged floors, causing permanent damage. He ruined them. After I said he had 80% of money for 10% of work done and I said I am not paying any more until I see progress, he then would not answer the phone. When he called back several days later, he said a tragedy befell each(this happened 5 times). first time was a chest infection because he won't wear a dust mask. Then had no money to hire a helper. Then the helper cancelled on him. Then death in the family, then he was going to work on Thurs. or Friday, of course when I called him Monday, something else came up. that happened 4 times. Because he had $1900. of $2325. job total, and so much work still to do, and I would not give him anymore money till things progressed he decided he was done. How could they when he ruined the floors beyond repair? He used a 20 grit grinding disc on a drill, on the wood floors. He sais he had done this type of work 17 years now. He decided not to answer or return my calls, and to keep my money. Of course he never finished the floors. And his references are friends I believe. There are the facts. Beware.
