Paul Saulnier and his workers were punctual and professional. They came right away for an estimate. The project was done in a timely fashion especially since we were in a time crunch. Paul worked with me as I was having other things being done to the house. The final product looks great. I am very picky and I was pleased.
Description of Work: Hardwood floor installed and finished on entire 2nd floor (4 bedrooms and hallway); 1st floor carpet removed and wood refinished (master bedroom, hallway, kitchen, dining room, living room and library). Carpet on stairs removed and refinished.

Paul Saulnier & his crew exceeded our expectations in the quality of work they provided. They were pleasant, courteous, always on time, very responsive to our requests, hardworking, & did a great job. The dustless sander helped with eliminating a lot of dust. The crew even cleaned up great when they were done. It was a great experience from the start when we had our estimate to the delivery of wood & the installation of our new floors.
Description of Work: Removed carpet & installed red oak hardwood floors in living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, hall, & stairs. Tile installed in front foyer. Approximately 1070 square feet sanded (with dustless sander), applied 3 coats of polyurethane & 1 coat of wood stain. Installed thresholds.

It went very well. Took three days. All day the first day from 7:30 -5:30. The second day, they arrived about 7:30 again. The third day the same thing. They arrived everyday at precisely the time they said they would. Very hardworking young men. Did a beautiful job on my floors.
Description of Work: I had a living room, dining room, stairs to the garage, stairs to the basement and stairs to the second floor refinished.

Very well. I was 9 months pregnant, and we weren't sure we were up to dealing with getting the floors done. These guys were very good at returning my calls and handling my requests all of which I wanted done ASAP. I probably caught them at a good time for availability, but they sent people out within days of giving us an estimate. Bob, who did the estimate was very nice and I found him to be very professional. I specifically stated that I'm very meticulous, so the workers spent a full day repairing nearly every board I complained about and the new boards blend perfectly with the old. The next 2-3 days were sanding and staining, and the job came out very nicely and ahead of schedule. Also, these guys advertised themselves as dustless, but I wasn't sure I believed them. It was indeed dustless - I had no cleanup at all to do when they were done. I have had the $1,300 floor job done before - dust EVERYWHERE and the shine is like a bowling alley. These guys were worth the extra money!
Description of Work: Had repairs done where old floor boards were damaged either by water or by construction elsewhere in the house. Also did a sand/refinish job on the entire first floor.

Fantastic! They were quick to provide an estimate. They provided a lot of good advice while providing the estimate. They pointed out issues and details other vendors did not. They did the work as scheduled. No surprises. They were careful not to compromise any of the other finish work that had been completed. The floors came out better than I thought possible.
Description of Work: Refinished hardwood floors throughout the house. Approx 1200 sf. The floors were in terrible shape. The house was built in 1926 and though the floors were probably good quality when installed, they had not been maintained. We had the floors sanded, stained and polyurethaned.

He was very polite. He does not smoke and does not swear. He takes pride in his work and cleans up after himself. I never go for the cheapest people because I believe that you get what you pay for.
Description of Work: They hand sanded and re-finished the wood floors in our living room, dining room, hallway and stairs. It was a four day job.

I was told it usually takes one to two days for an estimate to be emailed to me, but since the work to be done was going to be a little more complicated it would take an extra couple of days. I did not hear back for them even after first emailing and then calling and leaving a message with someone a week after we met.
Description of Work: No work was performed. A representative came to my house to give me an estimate on rebuilding part of my staircase and putting in a new handrail as well as refinishing the hardwood floors. He took measurements and detailed notes and asked for my email address so he could send me an estimate.

Outstanding! We had asked for a bid from another company, which had balked at the amount of demo needed in order to install the hardwood. Saulnier's rep came out, acknowledged the problems with the tile, but did not have a defeatist attitude. They provided a bid that could be broken out if certain work was not to be performed. Their recommendations for work were superb. As stated above, the workers were prompt and did their work in an incredibly professional manner. Work areas were taped off to limit the amount of dust to the rest of the house. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: First, they had to demolish tile flooring throughout the first floor which had been set in 1 1/2" of cement. They did that in record time. Then they installed hardwood, sanded, and finished it. All was done in one week. They then came back a week later to sand the existing hardwood so that the surfaces match and they do. The workers were all prompt, professional, and extremely polite. They are all knowledgeable about their craft.

Robert Tucker and Paul Saulnier were thoughtful and patient throughout the estimating process and during follow up, when I had them return to touch up some spots. The floors are gorgeous and they did repairs with perfectly matched, salvaged wood - a tall order for our old, unique house. Expensive but worth it - a top rate job.
Description of Work: Sanded and finished most floors in our house. Repaired dents and holes with salvaged wood to match our existing floors.

My overall experience was very good. They came on time, were courteous and respectful of our schedule. The dustless sanding equipment they used was true to it's name, and generated virtually no dust, so it was easy to live in the house during the project. The floors turned out very well.
Description of Work: They sanded and put down 2 coats of oil based polyurethane on 7 large rooms and 2 staircases. They used dustless sanding equipment.

PAUL SAULNIER INSPECTED THE HOUSE, TOLD US WHAT WOULD BE NECESSARY, GAVE US A QUOTE, STUCK WITH THE QUOTE. HE ALSO HELPED US CHOOSE THE BEST BAMBOO FOR OUR NEEDS. HIS STAFF INSTALLED THE FLOOR BEAUTIFULLY ON A VERY TIGHT SCHEDULE. THE FLOOR WAS BAMBOO AND IS SENSITIVE TO HUMIDITY. THEY MADE SURE THAT THE HOUSE WAS DRY ENOUGH FOR THE FLOOR TO BE LAID PROPERLY WITHOUT WARPING OR OTHER PROBLEMS. THE FLOOR IS PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL. WHEN PEOPLE COME INTO THE HOUSE, EVERYONE ADMIRES THE WORK AS WELL AS THE FLOOR ITSELF. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THEM REFINISH FLOORS IN A CONDO THAT WE OWN. THEY ADVISED THAT WE TAKE CERTAIN MEASURES TO MINIMIZE THE WORK THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IN THE FUTURE, FOR EXAMPLE, CREATING A VISUAL THRESHOLD BETWEEN ROOMS AND HALLWAYS SO THAT ONLY THE SECTION THAT HAS BEEN WORN OR DAMAGED IN THE FUTURE WOULD HAVE TO BE REFINISHED, RATHER THAN THE WHOLE APARTMENT. WE WILL USE THEM WHENEVER WE NEED HARDWOOD FLOOR WORK DONE.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED THE FLOOR IN AN ENTIRE HOUSE (1700 SQ/FT) WHICH WE RENOVATED. THEY HAVE ALSO DONE FLOOR REFINISHING AND FLOOR REPLACEMENT FOR US.

THE MAIN THING THEY DID WRONG WAS THAT AFTER SANDING OUR FLOORS THEY DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB OF SAWDUST REMOVAL. THEREFORE NOT ONLY WAS THE HOUSE A DUSTY MESS, BUT THE QUALITY OF THE FINISH THEY APPLIED TO THE FLOORS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY DUST FALLING ON IT AS IT DRIED. THEY ALSO DID SOME DAMAGE TO TWO WALLS AS THEY MOVED DOORS AROUND DURING THE INSTALLATION. THEY WERE SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO GET HOLD OF AND GETTING CLEAR SCHEDULING INFORMATION WAS NOT EASY. THE WORKERS I MET WERE NOT DRESSED AT ALL PROFESSIONALLY. THEY LEFT A LOT OF DEBRIS AND GARBAGE BEHIND. THEY ALSO LEFT A GRAFFITI IN POOR TASTE ON OUR KITCHEN MESSAGE BOARD, AND BROKE THE KEY I GAVE THEM SO THEY COULD GET INTO THE HOUSE. THEY ALSO DID NOT FINISH THE WORK BY THE DATE THEY HAD ORIGINALLY PROMISED.
Description of Work: INSTALLED NEW FLOORS IN 4 ROOMS AND A HALLWAY. REFINISHED 4 MORE ROOMS AND A FOYER.

THIS COMPANY WAS DEFINITELY EXPENSIVE (THERE ARE PLACES THAT WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR HALF THE PRICE), HOWEVER I HAVE TO SAY THEY DID AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS JOB! MY FLOORS WERE A MESS AND NOW THEY LOOK BETTER THAN NEW! ALSO, I HAVE A LOT OF ALLERGIES AND CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES AND WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE DUST AND FUMES. THEY ARE EXPERIENCED IN WORKING WITH PEOPLE WITH SUCH PROBLEMS, AND THE DUSTLESS SANDER (WHICH VACUUMS AS IT SANDS) WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY FOR ME. THERE IS ALMOST NO SANDING DUST IN THE HOUSE AT ALL. ALSO THEY RECOMMENDED THE SAFECOAT AS BEING A GOOD CHOICE, AND I THINK IT WAS. THERE IS SOME ODOR, BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE OILBASED STUFF. I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO CHEMICALS, AND AFTER 3 WEEKS IT IS NOW HARDLY BOTHERING ME. I THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE IN TO THE HOUSE IN ANOTHER 3 WEEKS OR SO. (MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT NOTICE ANYTHING AT ALL AT THIS POINT.) WITH THE OIL FINISH PLUS DUST IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LITERALLY 8 TO 10 MONTHS BEFORE I COULD LIVE THERE
Description of Work: SANDED AND REFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORS IN SIX ROOMS PLUS HALLWAY AND STAIRCASE. ALSO REPAIRED SEVERAL DAMAGED/CRACKED AREAS. USED THE DUSTLESS SANDING EQUIPMENT, AND PUT ON 3 COATS OF AFM SAFECOAT WATER-BASED POLY FINISH.

THEY CAME IN, SANDED QUICKLY ON THE FIRST DAY, AND PUT DOWN THREE COATS OF POLYURETHANE OVER THREE DAYS. VERY POLITE AND EASY TO WORK AROUND. THEY EVEN GAVE ME A GOOD PRICE ON BRAND NEW BIRCH FLOORING PLUS INSTALLATION WHEN IT WAS FOUND THAT THE UNDERLYING BIRCH STRIP FLOORING WAS DAMAGED BEYOND EASY REPAIR. HAD I ANY MORE FLOORS TO REFINISH, I WOULD GLADLY HIRE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: APPROXIMATELY 1300 SQUARE FEET OF FLOORING UNCOVERED (LINOLEUM IN SOME CASES), SANDED, AND APPLIED POLYURETHANE, PLUS ANOTHER 200 SQUARE FEET OF NEW FLOORING INSTALLED AND POLYURETHANED. ALSO DID STAIR TREADS.
