Craig was polite, professional, and punctual. He did everything we asked him to do and explained all aspects of the work. We weren't able to get a perfect match with the part of the floor that we didn't get refinished, but we both suspect that it is a different kind of wood. In any event, it wasn't a match before either, so we are very happy with the result. The floors are beautiful. Before sanding, Craig removed all the quarter round along the baseboard, numbered it, and reinstalled it all when finished. We had removed all the furniture, but not the TV. Even though the hepa filter on his sander does an excellent job, he took care to wrap the TV in plastic before beginning. Craig did an excellent job of cleaning up everything when the job was finished and even came back to refinish a section that I had wrecked by stepping on it before it was dried. He charged just the gas money to come to do that. When he was done, we had a bit of dusting to do, but nothing more than if we hadn't dusted for a month or so. Very nice. My son and I have some rental properties and have had the hard wood floors refinished on them, so we have had some experience with the process. If we have another home in the future that needs this work, I will definitely give Craig a call. His work is excellent and his prices are very reasonable. An excellent experience overall.
Description of Work: Stripped and sanded down about 1000 square feet of red oak flooring, stained the sanded floor and applied three coats of finish. The floor had been severely water damaged in several spots, so it was necessary to do a very thorough job of sanding to restore them.

Craig came out when I was in town at my newly purchased house and walked through with me. We talked about the type of finish (he had two and offered to send quotes for both) and color. We also talked about the staircase, and decided that it would be a separate job as the banister needs repair. He knows an expert for banisters, and offered to contact him for me as well. Since we wanted to have the work done before moving in, Craig said he would also look to see if any of his scheduled jobs could be shifted. Craig sent me his estimate that night, including the news that he would be able to fit us in before our move. I thought his estimate was comparable to what I expected given the size of the job, and I really wanted his dustless system as we have highly textured walls. We scheduled the job for about 3 weeks out. A few days later Craig contacted me and let me know that another customer had asked to reschedule and he could come out even sooner. We met up with him to give him the key, and arranged for him to let in another contractor who we expected to do some work while he was there. During the job Craig gave regular updates on the process, and if a contractor came to complete work. He was also kind enough to bring in our mail each day, since we were out of town. When he completed the job, we came back into town and he came by to pick up his payment and to go over floor care. He left us with a liter of the concentrated soap and explained how to use it. The floors are beautiful, and the additional trim work he completed looks great. He has also connected us with the banister expert, so we look forward to the likelihood of working with him again.
Description of Work: Hardwood floors on two floors refinished, new threshold installed from bath to hall, two pieces of baseboard painted and installed, trim around fireplace tile installed.

Craig arrived promptly to measure our floors and provide an estimate. He took the measurements on a Tuesday and responded (see above) on Friday. This seemed to be a reasonable amount of time. While we were disappointed that he was unable to provide a quote, we have no complaints about his professionalism and knowledge.
Description of Work: Craig came out to provide an estimate on floor installation. He provided good insight into the various options for flooring, and pointed out some potential issues that other companies either missed or didn't bother to share with us. Unfortunately, Craig was unable to provide an estimate because of the complexity of our work; he sent an e-mail saying he will "be passing on any projects that include large amounts of tear out...".

The full e-mail response: "The person who works with me on tear outs and appliance moving has decided to move south. Due to that fact, for the time being, I will be passing on any projects that include large amounts of tear out and moving of appliances or furniture. Thank you for contacting me and I wish you the best of luck with your project." He seemed like a very nice person and I'm sorry the project didn't work out this time but I'm sure someone will do a fine job for you.

He did an excellent job. Their price is very aggressive and about the same as everyone else. I would tell others to go with them.

Superior results which exceeded my expectations. There was literally no dust or mess during or after the job was completed. Having been under the mess of a whole house remodel for several months prior, Craig's use of the dust containment system was a huge selling point for us. The floor is beautiful. No sander marks apparent even along the stone hearth which has an irregular edge to contend with. He also managed to get us in ahead of schedule. Craig's friendly and professional manner coupled with the excellent appearance of our newly finished floors cause me to not hesitate in recommending his services. The cost was very reasonable. (Had another estimate that was significantly more and did not offer the dust containment option). Three days from start to finish. I've refinished wood floors myself before and can say I won't do it again as long as Craig is around!
Description of Work: Craig sanded & refinished the 51 year old hardwood floors in our living room utilizing the Oneida Vortex Dust Containment System. Three coats of finish were applied.

not well - the job was well done but there was an area that needed new floorboards. We discussed using new boards but decided to us boards from a closet. Instead he used boards from a 1/2 half bath and the master bathroom. Now i have large holes in 2 bathrooms with nails sticking out of the floor. It is going to cost 4000 to replace with tile (which we were going todo sometime in the furure - like in 2 years but not anytime soon.)

I'm sorry to have to hear about this for the first time through Angie's List and this report. It seems like there was something missed in the communication. When we first met for the estimate, it was discussed taking boards from the upstairs closet. After that meeting I was told that both bathrooms were being redone so try and take the boards from the small bathroom off the hallway first. That bathroom did not yield enough to make repairs so the other area I was told was being replaced with tile was the master bath. If I had been told that the bathrooms were not being done for 2 years, I would not have taken the boards from there.

I couldn't have asked for a better job, Craig went above and beyond our expectations.
Description of Work: Craig sanded down our old wood floors, stained and applied Poly. We also had some old cold air returns that were cut into the floor at one time and he patched those with newer floor boards. Our floors are old Douglas Fur which is very difficult to stain consistently and our floors came our perfect.

The finished floor was perfect in every way and was exactly what we hoped for. Craig arrived when he said he would, worked efficiently and professionally with no delays or surprises and finished on time. The work was completely dust free. He is a master of his craft and has a very pleasing personality.
Description of Work: Complete refinishing of our 16' x 31' kitchen hardwood floor. The floor was sanded to bare wood, stained and then two coats of polyurethane were applied.

We wanted to upgrade a bedroom which had a many year old carpet. Craig removed the carpet and found a patchwork subfloor. He removed the mixture of old hardwood and particle board and installed a new, red oak hardwood floor. He stained it to be consistant with similar flooring in the hallway and another bedroom. The floor is absolutely beautiful. He did all the work while we were out of town. Upon our return, there was no sign of his being here other than the new floor. There was no dust anywhere. There are three closets in the room; all done perfectly. His price was very fair and an outstanding value. We would highly recommend Craig. I don't know how it could have gone better.
