It could not have gone better. We recently bought a new place that had very old carpeting covering half the house. Although it is very hard to provide an estimate of refinishing floors when you don't know what is under the carpet, Mike was true to his estimate and his crew completed the job right on time. As with any job, there were some unexpected issues that needed to be addressed. Mike's team, and George in particular, were able to fix the problems (namely, wood HVAC vents and floor molding) at a very reasonable price. The best part of the job was that the master staircase was previously carpeted and was in pretty bad shape. After pulling up the carpet, Mike gave us some options on how to refinish and/or paint the stairs and risers. We had them refinish the stairs and risers (which cost a little extra), but now the stairs are a showpiece in the house. We couldn't be happier with the work that Mike did for us. We have now used him twice and would use him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Refinished floors on three levels our house. They removed carpeting and made minor repairs along the way.

Mike's team did a phenomenal job refinishing the hardwood floors throughout our new home. They were careful and precise, and got the color exactly how we wanted it (and we were very particular). Mike and his team were always prompt, and they were extremely efficient, finishing the entire project within a week that included the Thanksgiving holiday. Mike also is the most responsive contractor I have ever worked with, has a very pleasant and professional demeanor, and clearly knows his stuff. His prices also are quite fair. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike's Hardwood Flooring or hire this company again!

We just closed on a house and we needed our floors sanded, stained and refinished. My husband and I took out the baseboards and we had a grandiose idea that we would reinstall them. We got a few quotes. Mike quoted us just based on the Zillow pictures of the house and he had his guys there the next morning. His price was fair and he even replaced some damaged boards at no additional cost. Benjamin did an excellent job, was always incredibly polite and professional. The floors look fantastic! We could not be happier with the entire experience. We are planning a kitchen remodel in the future and will use them again to install hardwoods in our kitchen.
Description of Work: We needed about 900 SF of hardwoods refinished and stained, including stairs.

Phenomenal. Could not have had a company be more responsive. I don't think I ever waited for an email reply longer than 10 minutes. The work done was perfect and just what we had asked for. They were very accommodating and patient to get the stain color just right. They supplied me with samples beforehand. They were on-time, professional and the house was left cleaner then when they got there!

This was a big deal purchase. The guy came out and the square footage was actually a little bit different than what was in the deal so me and the guy agreed to a price. They were very good. I was super-happy with them.

Great - Mike and his team did an excellent job sanding and adding 3 coats of polyurethane to my maple floors. He was very thorough with communication and keeping me up to date on the process since I was out of state when the work was done. I'd definitely recommend him.

In both instances the responsiveness was lightning fast (I think the hardwood was acclimating in my home within a week), the service was extremely professional and the quality of workmanship was excellent. Pricing was more than fair for the speed of delivery. The one, very minor, hiccup was a miscommunication about having hardwood vent grates installed and finished as part of the refinishing work. It was completed on the new floor install.
Description of Work: I've used Mike's twice, first for a refinishing project and then a few weeks later I decided to have hardwood installed on my second floor.

The project went smoothly. I had a short window in which to work as the furniture on our 1st floor was removed for another project. I set up interviews with a number of companies, received estimates, and Mike's worked out the best. They were honest about how the project saying that some old stains on the floors might not sand out; the stairs treads and risers would need to be sanded by hand, therefore would cost a bit more; and the wood used to patch would not exactly match due to age. All of this I understood since the floors were over 100 years old. They had their staff on site early on the day they said they'd start. They worked as quickly as the weather would allow and the project was completed within the time they expected. Its been almost two years and the floors still look great. I waited a while to make this review in order to see if the work would hold up and it still looks nice. Now I'm hoping for another big project in which the furniture on our 2nd floor will be removed so they can do those floors.

Its been just over a year and the floors still look great. They are holding up to our household very well. In addition, they were very clear about what the floors would look like after they were finished and about costs. Apparently, some people don't understand that stairs require manual sanding and therefore would cost more per square foot than the floors themselves.
Description of Work: We needed our floors refinished. After living in our house for 16 years with dogs, cats, and kids, the floors were a mess! We were having something else done last minute which required our family and the furniture to be completely removed during a specific period of time. They were able to get our floors done during our window of opportunity. We had them do the main floor and the stairs (treads and risers) going up to the 2nd floor of our house.

The end result was beautiful and almost made it worthwhile dealing with Mike. I am not sure if he was confused and disorganized or actually trying to pull a "Bate and Switch" on us, but I found his interactions when it came to pricing a little on the shady side. We found Mike on Angie's list through an offer he had. Up to 1000 SQ FT of flooring refinished for $1500. Our unit measured 950. I reached out on Angies list, mentioned the offer price and recieved a quote for $2100... when I mentioned the offer on Angies list again he confirmed the rate would be discounted to $1500. He then measured the size of the unit himself to confirm and sent me a written confirmation that the rate of $1500 will be honored and will include removing a small room's carpeting, with no added cost. the day of the service I was not home, and my husband called me to confirm that the rate was "$1850" per Mike who was there with him. I had to dig through my emails to re-send his confirmation to prove that he quoted us the rate of $1500. In addition - my contractor who was doing other work for us had already pulled the carpeting from the small room, even though Mike's team were to do that with no additional charge. When I got home I saw the receipt for the service for a higher charge, and when I asked my husband why were we billed more than the $1500 he said Mike billed us for removing a layer of glue from the floors where the carpet once was. ( so he did LESS work than he had committed to performing not having to tear the carpets off, and ended up charging us extra for "glue" removal, which should have been included in the sanding of the floors) I am happy to pay people for their work, and even after the over-charges, Mike's rate was reasonable. What I do not appreciate is people giving me their word and changing it later to try and make an extra buck off us. As good as the floors look, I will not be using Mike's services again. I don't like working with dishonest people ( or, giving him the benefit of the doubt, disorganized. )

We do keep our end of the deal but if customers wants extra work done it will be extra ( please before anybody buys a deal or wants one of our deal read everything the deal offers) We always keep our end of the deal , if kitchen or more closets or big hallways or it is on second third floor or so forward it is extra money because it will take us extra work . If somebody has exactly what the dead sad and I my Company didn’t do it contact Mike the owner and I will do the job for free . Thanks

They were very very very good. The only thing I was worried about was these poor guys lungs that were breathing in these fumes. It turned out wonderful. But I was just worried about these poor guys and if they have insurance. Are they illegal workers that don't have insurance and what if they get lung cancer down the road. For me I have to think about the people doing the work. As far as the work goes the floors turned out gorgeous. I had nothing to compare the price to. They were done in a timely fashion. We were in a crunch because we were moving furniture in on a Friday and they started on a Monday so the floors had to be dry by Friday. We have been here 35 years and they had never been done. They had it done and it really turned out nice. He responded right away.
Description of Work: They refinished our hardwood floors. They did the living room, dining room, and 3 bedrooms but they're small room cause it's a small house. I think they put 3 coats on.

I had a first floor that was a combination of 10 year old oak flooring and older carpet and tile. Mike was able to remove the old carpet and tile, install new oak flooring and then perfectly match everything with a new stain making my first floor look seamless. It looks as though 1 floor was installed at the same time and looks absolutely fabulous. Also, I was very worried about the dust, but it turned out to be minimal. The communication from Mike was constant, the work was professional and great. I am looking forward to doing more work with him in the future.

Mike and his team were excellent. Very responsive for the initial consultation. Great care was taken by his team to ensure nothing was damaged. I had previously covered some furniture with sheets for protection, but the team went beyond that to ensure everything was protected. I don't think I could be happier with the results.

Mikes was absolutely fantastic in every possible way. Starting from the timely and free quote, through the coordination of the team to complete the floors, everyone was great. I was out of town while they completed the work and received constant communication via text & phonecall to give updates on the progress. I was even texted pictures of stain options and test samples on my floor to pick the best option. I would recommend Mikes to anyone looking for top quality work, great communication, and an affordable price!

Mike did a PERFECT JOB. I called 5 different companies to get quotes from on the project. I learned that the existing flooring was extremely thin, and 3 out of 5 said that they would not be able to sand the floors because they were too thin. Mike said he would be able to sand it, and assured me it would look great. I went with Mikes Flooring because he seemed trustworthy, came early, and always answered right away when I called. That is very rare to find! I initially signed a contract to install hardwood throughout my condo, but ended up just wanting to sand and stain the existing flooring instead since it was cheaper. All other companies told me that no matter what I did, nothing was going to look as I would want since the existing floors were so thin and worn. Mike was the only one that assured me it would look great. They were able to sand and stain right on schedule and worked within my tight time frame. I honestly can’t believe how the floors turned out. They look absolutely perfect! I never imagined they would end up looking like brand new floors after what everyone else told me was not possible. Mike did an AMAZING job. 10/10. Since I initially paid Mike to do add in new hardwood floors in the bedroom and I decided not to go that route, Mike drove out to my work and paid me the difference. Again, he answered calls right away and showed up right when he said he would and gave me the money. I am impressed with the superior customer service that he delivered, and the job that he did on my condo. I rarely go out of my way to leave reviews, but I wanted to make sure to pay it forward in this situation. Everyone that comes into my condo compliments my floors right away. Mike did a phenomenal job and he will be the first one I call on all future projects. Mikes Flooring was excellent. I highly recommend them for all flooring projects. Very impressed!
