Albert Griffith & Sons is a family owned business founded by Albert Griffith (pictured left) in 1946. We started the company with a focus on installation, finishing, and maintenance of hardwood floors. We have grown to include marketing and sales of all types of materials and maintenance products as well as installation aids for the "Do it Yourselfer". Our Employees are trained professionals, and many are family members from four generations! Unlike our competitors, we do not use sub-contractors. All trucks and equipment you see on the jobsite are company owned.
The entire job took 6 days. On the first day, they said they would arrive around 11:00 however, they showed up at 1:00. I thought "oh no, this is going to be a nightmare" and stated that to the company. I was wrong! Their earlier job was longer than expected and this is understandable. Those guys worked so fast and efficient that I could not keep up. They were on time for the entire project and the quality of work was tremendous. I am refinishing my entire upstairs soon and will not call anyone else but Griffith.
Description of Work: Installed hardwoods in living room. Refinished hardwoods in kitchen, half bathroom, hall and laundry room.

Denny showed up on time, was courteous and kind. He gave lots of practical advise and noticed problems with the floor that I had not. He was happy to answer questions. Ultimately they the cost of the project was a little too high and I chose another company.

I paid way too much, but I didn't know. A fair price per square foot is $3, then $150-$200 for the repair. A high estimate for the work performed should have been $900! I feel like this company was very high, and I have since had other estimates for much less to finish another room and hallway.

Everything was gorgeous, they were on time, everything was wonderful. When they were putting down the polyurethane there was some debris under a coat. They sanded it down and replaced the polyurethane.
Description of Work: They took out the carpet in two rooms and put down new sub-flooring and Red Oak hardwood. Sanded down the rest of the hardwood floors in the house, patched a board, coated everything with three layers of polyurethane.

They use a new system that gets rid of the dust. It works great. I had virtually no dust in my house. They did a good job and though I don't remember the exact price, I know that it was competitive compared to other estimates.

We have used Albert Griffith for all of our flooring needs since 1972 when they installed the initial flooring, and you will not find a more professional, more courteous and more competent company to do such work. Their workers are respectful of your house, perform the work with skill and arrive on time, and there is no wasted time in the work being accomplished. Denny and Jeff Griffith are easy to deal with, fix anything you determine needs refinishing (they came back three times just to be sure we were satisfied), and move the furniture around carefully so as not to damage any items in the house. I would highly recommend this company for anyone needing flooring needs. There are large wharehouse companies selling flooring, and they have designated installers but do you know what kind of quality you are getting for your money. With Griffith Flooring, the consumer will not to worry about some installer operating out the back of his truck and quite possibly seen again.
Description of Work: Griffith Flooring Company removed and disposed of carpet and padding from the master bedroom, supplied and installed Hartco Pre-Finished parquet flooring and supplied and installed new shoemold at the perimeters. In addition, they applied one coat of satin polyurethane finish to the existing hardwood flooring in the kitchen, the pantry, rear hall, closet, dining room, living room and entry.

We had a pleasant experience with Tom, one of the sales representatives at Griffith and Sons. Problems arose with scheduling; at times it was difficult to connect with anyone. When they stained the main level of the house, they managed to get a lot of stain on our original white shoe molding. Their quality of work is good, but there were some inconsistencies like swirl marks in the stain or gaps where the stain didn't quite meet up with the kitchen cabinets. When they came back to repair the floor in the kitchen, they sanded and stained it and then applied the wrong finish. They had to come back, hand sand the repair and apply the right satin finish- at no additional charge to us. The installation in the master bedroom only took one day and it looks very nice. The color of the stain on the main level was customized to our liking and it turned out to be perfect for us.
Description of Work: Sanded hardwood to bare floor and stained the entire main level of home, approx. 1500 square feet. Carpet and pad were removed in master bedroom. Purchased, pre-finished distressed wood was installed, as well as shoe molding. A repair was made in the kitchen after movers damaged the floor.

WHILE THE INSTALLATION WENT WELL, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS THE FLOOR BOARDS BUCKLED. OVER A 5-MONTH PERIOD, A COMPANY REP INSPECTED THE FLOORING AND CRAWL SPACE UNDERNEATH, FOUND MOISTURE READINGS TO BE WITHIN ACCEPTED LEVELS, BUT NOTED THAT THE BUCKLING WAS QUITE SEVERE. HE SUGGESTED WE WAIT A YEAR TO SEE IF THE FLOOR FLATTENS OUT ON ITS OWN. THE FLOOR IS STILL BUCKLED, AND AGAIN THE READINGS ARE NORMAL. NOW, THE REP DECIDED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD A MOISTURE BARRIER ON THE CRAWL SPACE FLOOR TO BEGIN WITH, EVEN THOUGH IT'S DRY. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THIS "DETAIL" WHEN THEY FIRST INSPECTED THE SPACE OR WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE FLOOR, OR THE TIMES THEY INSPECTED AFTERWARDS. NOW, SUDDENLY, THE PROBLEM IS MY FAULT. I WOULD HAVE INSTALLED CRAWL SPACE POLYURETHANE HAD THEY EVER SAID THIS WAS REQUIRED. THEY BLEW IT AT THE BEGINNING, PUT ME OFF FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOW, THEY'RE CALLING IT AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!
Description of Work: INSTALLED PRE-FINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORING OVER A YEAR AGO. THE FLOORING HAS BUCKLED. I WAITED THIS LONG TO REPORT ON THE COMPANY, THINKING THAT THEY WOULD CORRECT THE SITUATION. IN FACT, IT APPEARS THEY "FORGOT" TO ENSURE THAT A CRITICAL PIECE WAS IN PLACE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION -- A POLYURETHANE VAPOR BARRIER SHOULD HAVE BEEN LAID IN THE CRAWL SPACE BEFORE THE WOOD FLOORING WAS INSTALLED ABOVE. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THIS, THOUGH SEVERAL OF THEIR PEOPLE HAD CHECKED OUT THE CRAWL SPACE.

Response from Albert Griffith & Sons Inc
AFTER IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE TO CORRECT THE GROUND COVER AND VENTILATION IN THE CRAWL SPACE AND LET THE FLOORING DRY, I WILL RETURN THIS COMING DRY SEASON (WINTER) TO MAYBE FIND OUT IF IT IS SEASONAL OR 75%% OF THE TIME IT HAS SELF-CORRECTED. WE BELIEVE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM IS THE VISQUEEN VAPOR BARRIER UNDER THE HOUSE WAS PUT BACK IN TO PLACE THE COVER THE BARE EARTH AND VENTILATION WAS PROVIDED FOR THE AREA. ONCE THESE MEASURES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WE HAVE OFFERED TO RE-ACCESS WHEN AREAS AND FLOOR ARE DRY. JEFF GRIFFITH, VP, ALBERT GRIFFITH & SONS, INC

THIS WAS A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AND THE FLOORS LOOK WONDERFUL. WE HAD WORKERS OUT ON 3 DAYS AND THEY WERE ON TIME ALL 3 DAYS, AND WORKED VERY QUICKLY. GUESTS CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE THE SAME FLOORS. I EXPECTED A GREAT DEAL OF MESS LEFT EVEN THOUGH WE PURCHASED THE DUST-FREE OPTION, BUT THE CLEAN UP WAS NOT THAT BAD AT ALL.

THE COMPANY WAS A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH. FROM THE VERY FIRST CALL, CINDY IN THE OFFICE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. SHE ANSWERED OUR IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE PROCESS AND OPTIONS (SUCH AS DUST FREE). MIKE, I BELIEVE ESTIMATED THE JOB AND AGAIN WAS PROMPT AND WILLING TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. HE WAS FORTHRIGHT ABOUT WHAT COULD AND COULD NOT BE DONE AND EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT IN TERMS OF THE FINISHED WORK AND INCONVENIENCE WHILE IT PROGRESSED. THE TWO YOUNG MEN, (BRAD AND CHAD)THAT ACTUALLY DID THE REFINISHING, SHOWED UP ON TIME, COOPERATED WITH MY HUSBAND BY ANSWERING HIS QUESTIONS, LETTING HIM CALL ME AT WORK TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, AND POSED AS HE TOOK BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS. THEY WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO WORK WITH ME ON THE TRANSITION THRESHOLD AND EXPLAIN THE CARE AND UPKEEP OF OUR NEW FLOOR IN THE FIRST WEEK AND BEYOND. THEY QUOTED THE JOB AT THREE DAYS AND IT TOOK EXACTLY THAT. WE STAYED OUT TWO NIGHTS WHILE THE FINISH WAS BEING APPLIED.
Description of Work: THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1965 WITH HARDWOOD FLOORING THROUGHOUT. A WALL HAD BEEN REMOVED BETWEEN THE LIVING ROOM AND FAMILY ROOM AND THE GAP FILLED WITH PARTICLE BOARD. THE ENTIRE AREA WAS THEN CARPETED. THE FLOOR HAD SOME DEEP SCRATCHES, CARPET KNIFE CUTS, CARPET TAPE GLUE EMBEDDED IN THE FINISH, A HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND ADJOINING HARDWOOD, AND TWO DIFFERENT FLOOR COLORS WITH A PEGGED LOOK IN THE FORMER FAMILY ROOM. THEY INSTALLED HARDWOOD IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO FLOORS, SQUARED OFF THE ROUNDED END OF THE KITCHEN FLOOR AND PUT A TRANSITION THRESHOLD OVER THE LINOLEUM, SANDED THE ENTIRE AREA AND HALLWAY AND APPLIED A NEW FINISH. THE FORMER FAMILY ROOM FLOOR STILL HAS IMITATION PLUGS BUT THAT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE. THE PATCH IS INVISIBLE. THE GLUE MARKS ARE GONE. THE CARPET KNIFE CUTS REMAIN AS THEY WERE TOO DEEP TO SAND OUT, BUT ARE MINIMAL. THE END RESULT IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL FLOOR THAT I WON'T BE AFRAID TO USE.

IT TOOK MANY PHONE CALLS OVER A THREE WEEK PERIOD TO RECEIVE THE ESTIMATE AFTER THE ESTIMATOR HAD CAME OUT TO LOOK AT THE WORK. TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE, DID NOT KEEP THEIR WORD AS TO WHEN I'D HEAR BACK FROM THEM. I FINALLY HAD TO DEMAND THE OWNER RESPOND TO GET AN ESTIMATE AND THE ESTIMATE WAS MORE THAN $4,000, MORE THAN THE OTHER TWO ESTIMATES I HAD GOTTEN. VERY POOR EXPERIENCE AND FINAL ESTIMATE WAS VERY HIGH. ON THE GOOD SIDE, THE ESTIMATOR SEEMED TO KNOW HIS WORK WELL AND OFFICE PERSONNEL WERE FRIENDLY, ALTHOUGH UNABLE TO RESOLVE LACK OF ESTIMATE. DID NOT HIRE! WOULD NOT HIRE!
