They did a fantastic job...no mess at all, then on the 21st the carpet crew came out, removed the carpet in the bedrooms and installed new carpeting. Very professional and neat.

Great experience from estimate to installation to follow-up. Price was very fair and the floors look fantastic. Will be using them again for future projects.
Description of Work: Had pre-finished hardwood floors installed in my 2nd floor.
They were good and professional. We did not use them because they were more expensive then others. It was reasonable but the others were 20 to 25 percent cheaper. Very detailed and informative. He knew his stuff.

The salesman came to our home to review our project. We had hardwood in one room which needed to be sanded and re-sealed, and we wanted to have more hardwood laid in other rooms. We opted for the Bona traffic for its durability. The materials were dropped off a few days before the installation; the delivery person tracked in a lot of mud that he brought with him from his previous delivery. Fortunately, that carpet was being replaced. The installers did a good job; they were here and finished in a day. The finishing team came in and did a good job sanding and staining. They arrived each day on time or early for the sealing activities. They acknowledged needing to do a couple of touch-ups and are supposed to return later this week to finish up.
Description of Work: Remove carpeting and install new hardwood in two areas. Refinish hardwood and re-stain to match the newly installed areas.

Did not use River City. But the estimate process was an excellent one.
Description of Work: Planning new install sand & finish hardwood for two rooms, two stairways and refinishing only for 2 other rooms. Lots of time and money to be spent so I wanted to get 3 estimates. We visited showroom and met Tom Jones, our sales rep. He was very knowledgable and a real nice person. Was very good at his job. Came to house to measure. Brought samples of woods with and with different stains and finishes. Very thorough. It was a very hard decision but I am going with another company. However, it is no reflection on Tom or River City. I would call them again.

Overall it was a good experience. The owner came out and estimated the work. He followed up quickly with a detail estimate. It was scheduled fairly quickly. The workers and the delivery of the hardwood showed up as planned. It took slightly longer to complete the work than they had estimated but only by a day. It was a week-long job. It turned out well. We didn't have any problems with the workers or the workmanship. It was good overall.

Do order your materials from the company. We already had materials that we had planned to install ourselves, but simply ran out of time. We certainly did not have the experise required. Jack's team does. If I had to do it over again, I would have taken back the materials that I had already purchased and purchased flooring on Jack's recommendation.
Description of Work: They laid flooring and stair treds for a very tricky staircase. Matching the stained areas to the pre-finished areas is inperceptable! We cannot say enough good words. It took a bit longer because all of the tricky areas of this old house. Many thanks for hanging in there guys! Susan and Scott.

I received several estimates/bids for what I needed done from others. Other companies shyed away from the job because my house is 100 yrs old so the foundation and subfloors are not ideal or perfect but River City was not hesitant at all. They were honest and upfront from the beginning letting me know that there may be additional costs if any additional leveling was needed.and they had experience doing older homes like mine. Within a few days I had a written estimate in the mail at which point I called to schedule the install and pay the deposit. The job was scheduled for about a week out and anticipated to take the full day to complete. On the day of install, they arrived on time in the morning and finished in about 5 hours to my pleasant surprise. I looked over the floors to make sure I was satisfied before they left. It has been about two months since with no issues to report (no buckling or loose boards). Very pleased and looking to hire them again for another project.
Description of Work: Hardwood floors installed in dining room. River City did a great job of finding a match to the existing hardwood floors in my hallway and living room and it looks like it was all done at the same time.

There is no story to tell except that they never even called me back.
Description of Work: Based on the reviews of Angies List, I called this company. After speaking with the owner, Chris Brumley, they never even called me back. I explained to him that I purchased an unfinished herringbone floor from a local mill and that I have several challenges in the room involving the room. Chris said that he would speak with a particular installer who is from Europe and get back with you. Anyway, it has been a month or so and I never heard a word.

Response from River City Flooring Inc
First, I want to thank Angie's List for doing a great job! It is so very hard for me to understand why a complete stranger can publicly judge someone without knowing or just assuming the facts. This person called our office looking for help and I explained to her that we do not install herringbone hardwood and that one of our subs has had some experience with herringbone installations. I then contacted this sub contractor and give him her details. Apparently he was not interested in doing this type of work. So we answered her call and passed on her details and for that we deserve an "F". Again I want to thank Angie's List for sharing these comments "Good" or "Bad" because it can really highlight the integrity of the author.

The salesman from River City Flooring, Inc. came out four different colors of stains and showed us what it would look like. They talked to us about it. They were very informative about the process. It's not an easy process to do. You can't walk on the floor. They were very professional. It's an uncle and nephew team.
Description of Work: They sanded down my hardwoods and we put a little different stain on it and they put a conditioner on it and then they put the sealant on top of that.

The entire process took about one week. Issues experienced; Floor boards actually began moving up and down Nails sticking up uneven finish in areas The owner came out and met with us and suggest we shim the boards from underneath (Thank goodness we have a basement) They came back out and re-set the nails but the employee was several hours late and did not have the finish we used previously They told us they would sand and re-surface. This was code for they will add another coat of finish and buff. Disappointed that the puddled finish is still present and there are a couple of boards left sticking up.
Description of Work: Had original hard wood floors refinished and replace several feet of floor.

Their estimate was $2000 which seemed reasonable. We went with another company because the other salesman listened to our concern about price. The other company's owner showed up and gave a demonstration how we could save approximately $600 of labor. My husband spent the better part of a week hammering "thousands" of nails in order to save us money. This company didn't even give us an option of saving money.
Description of Work: We asked for an estimate to refinish our hardwood floors in 1 bedroom, 1 hallway, living room and dining room.

I used River City Flooring Inc services for engineered hardwood. I think the prices were reasonable and the people that did the install did a very good job, so overall I am very satisfied. People can feel comfortable if River City Flooring Inc is going to provide the service that they quote and the prices are good.

The hardwood installed in the family room matched up with existing hardwood already in place in the kitchen, entry, and formal dining room. The match, fit, and finish we're perfect. They did a great job! After installing the steps to the basement, there were small gaps on the side walls in the corner of each step. It's was due to the way the builder built the steps. The gaps were covered by carpet. It was unsightly and in no way River City's fault. We asked that they help us fix the problem and fully expected to pay to fix it. It took a couple of weeks to figure out a solution. The problem was solved beautifully. River City declined to charge us for the work even though we told them we were willing to pay. They said they were the flooring experts and were taking responsibility for the problem. Customer care and service above and beyond. It is rare these days!!!
Description of Work: Installed cherry hardwood flooring in the family room, master bedroom, and master closet. They also installed finished hardwood steps from the first floor down to the finished basement.

This was our second use of this company for hardwood floor services. Our hardwood floors and stairs were repaired (stair treads replaced from previous railing), sanded, stained and coated with polyurethane. Service was provided while we were also out of town; the service man met with us in our home to review the job before we were unavailable. The job was exceptionally completed, no mess left upon return home. Service worker kept us updated via text message while we were out of town and very effectively communicated with us when necessary. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

Work started when promise and finished promptly.
Description of Work: Refinished hardwood floors in whole house prior to me moving in. Floors were in horrible shape with very bad stains - they are beautiful now. The only reason I did not give 'A' on quality of work was that a couple places they did not nail the quarter round and they also did not varnish the quarter round (only applied stain) which has made it REALLY hard when painting the baseboards which are painted white. Otherwise, great work and the guy who did it was really nice.

We had originally shopped for new hardwood in the family room and kitchen areas. The sales rep in the store, Curt, was helpful and let us take several samples home to consider. He also came to our home for measurements and estimate. The installers were prompt, and finished within the time estimated. The floors are beautiful. Since we were happy with the floors, we had Curt come back and give us an estimate to do the stairs, too. The hardwood on the floors is cherry, and since stairs are somewhat high traffic, he suggested a more durable wood that they stained to match the floors. We were closing in on Thanksgiving. The stair installers were to arrive on Monday of Thanksgiving week, but he cancelled due to illness. Not to worry, they arranged for another installer (an Amish man and his son) who came the next day and worked until after dark to get the job done. What craftmanship. River City Flooring wasn't the cheapest, but not too far off, and you get quality work.
