I've worked with Randy a few times now, and he is always meticulous. I'd never have anyone else work on my floors! Renters did extensive damage to my kitchen floor, which Randy had restored years ago. He assessed the damage in detail, and suggested a less invasive form of refinishing, which was quicker and did not require additional sanding. He also did a bunch of additional woodwork while he was here: he repaired several pieces of wood trim, removed stains from a my wooden breakfast bar, and removed paint stains from the floor. Everything turned out great.

Perfect. If you want someone who knows floors and the options for refinishing them , plus giving you a real schedule and sticking to it, doing a great job, and with extremely little dust, this is you guy. Randy was excellent in every way. He explained our options, told us what to expect in terms of results and future care,and time schedule. Then he delivered exactly what he promised and on time. The floors look wonderful and some of them were worn.

Randy did an amazing job on my hardwood floors. He was so knowledgeable and was able to do an exact match with the original hardwood floors in my house. He created a seamless transition from old to new - the kitchen and addition now look like they were always there. Randy worked so hard and was so meticulous. He often stayed late to get everything done. Everything looks amazing and he gave me great information about how to care for my floors. I would recommend him to anyone!

Randy refinished the hardwood floors in my Bloomington home including three rooms that had not been re-finished in 50 years..stained and in bad shape. The final result is even and beautiful finish. We were very happy with the service and with the price.

Randy is a perfectionist and it shows. He was meticulous in sanding, sealing and applying the final coats. His process is almost dust free, so you don't have to worry about cleaning up after the work is finished. He is very knowledgeable about options for finishing wood floors and even prepared samples so we knew what we were getting. He left us with good information on maintaining our new finish. I would definitely hire him again.

Randy did an excellent job. He has a high attention to detail and that is perfect for work like this. He used the right tools and completed the work in two days (Fri, Sat). We did the finishing ourselves since the basement had no exit point and working top-down is best. He was punctual and showed up at 9am both days. Several of my co-workers have used Johnson HW Floors over the past 15 years and recommended him to me. I was very satisfied.

This was our second time using Randy, the first time being to do our living room and dining room back when we bought our house in 2013. Obviously, we were very happy with his work the first time around since we called him back to finish the rest of our first floor a year later. Given that both his prices and his flexibility/schedule were infinitely better than everywhere else we looked, we were so pleased to find that the quality of his work is just as fantastic. Would call him again if we had any more hardwood floors to refinish!

Randy is a true professional in every sense of the word. He spent a fair amount of time with my wife and me discussing different refinishing options. He was timely and professional with the estimates that he gave us and also throughout the whole duration of the project. He continued to give us good suggestions after had started the project. Randy is very detailed oriented and it was obvious that he takes a lot of pride in the work that he does. I would highly recommend Randy to anyone that is interested in refinishing their floors.

I wish all my contractors were as easy to work with as Randy. Above all, he is meticulous: my floors turned out better than I had hoped, including salvaged original (1920's) maple in the kitchen that was reclaimed from under the linoleum, which he mixed with some new maple (he treated the new somehow so that the grains match really well). The upstairs was a mixture of maple and birch, and there were also a few spots where walls had moved so he needed to patch those, as well. He even plugged a couple holes in the corner behind the radiator, where the pipes had been moved. He warned me that the old carpet staples in the stairs had stained the wood, so we picked a slightly darker shade for the treads -- but then he went even further, and punched every staple on every tread, in order to reduce the staining even further. He also purchased and installed new treads, and threshholds at every point where the floor level changes (including one where he did some very detailed work to make the doorframe follow the curve of the threshhold). Beyond the high quality of his work, Randy always replies promptly, takes care to explain details (what he is planning, how to care for floors, etc.), and on this project, and he rearranged his schedule several times so that the really smelly work could happen when I was traveling out of town. Couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: Refinished all floors in the house, upstairs and down, stair treads, etc. Main floor: kitchen, dining room, living room Upstairs: three bedrooms and closets, hallway Also treated cork flooring in one bathroom with two coats of polyurethane FYI: Randy did all this over a period of several months. He did the second floor as a project, then later came back for the first floor, and has made a couple smaller trips to finish the cork in the bathroom, install treads and threshholds, etc. The December date is when he performed the latest work.

See the information above. Randy did an absolutely outstanding job. The floor is breathtaking. I mean it!
Description of Work: Randy is simply the best. He is an artist, a craftsman and a perfectionist. I have recommended Randy to anyone who will listen to me. I recommend him to you. I found Randy on Angie’s List along with his competition. I conducted meetings with each company and received price quotes on the proposed project. Randy appeared to me to be the most professional AND he was the lowest cost. (Low overhead – Randy works alone). Randy has encyclopedic knowledge of wood types, stains, sealants, etc. He tutored us on the appropriate amount of humidity, how to clean the wood properly and other does and don’ts. We replaced an old floor and a new sub-floor was installed (at Randy’s recommendation) before Randy installed a 3/4” hickory floor. This was a compromise solution. My wife wanted an exotic wood floor, but I didn’t want to cut down a rain forest. The compromise was to stain hickory to look like tiger wood. The designer said it couldn’t be done. Randy did it. Perfectly. Randy does the job right. Randy works diligently and he is on time and on schedule, but the one thing he will not do is “hurry” to get your floor done. He is going to do it absolutely right and if it takes him an extra day or two to get it right, that is what he will do. You, on the other hand, will end up with a floor that will render your friends speechless.

Mr. Johnson was very professional, and very prompt. His estimate was in line with the two other estimates I received. I ultimately decided use a different service provider, but I would have felt comfortable using Mr. Johnson, and will certainly contact him again if I have further hardwood floor work to be done.

The floor is beautiful! Randy is a craftsman who adheres to the highest standards of quality in his profession. He has an awe-inspiring knowledge of wood and its properties and his understanding of the available wood-finishing products, from both aesthetic and environmental perspectives, is equally impressive. He uses practically dust-free sanding equipment that does not involve hoses and large vacuums that use significent amounts of power (and strain electrical systems). He is also more than willing to answer questions and to share wood-finishing information/suggestions. We feel very fortunate to have "found" Randy for this project and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Randy refinished appx. 800 sq. ft. of red oak flooring on the main level of our rambler. The flooring had never been properly sealed and, as a result of 15 years of use in that state, had water stains and suffered from general wear and tear. The job description outlined that he would sand, stain, apply 1 coat of bacca sealer and 2 coats of satin Traffic (a commercial-grade sealer). He would also sand and refinish the stair landing tread. That basic description doesn't do justice to the many, many hours Randy committed to the job. He did, indeed, sand the floors until all traces of finish and grime were removed. He then applied wood putty to the extensive number of flaws in the flooring and sanded that to perfection. The stain was applied and then the process of applying multiple coats of sealer started.

Randy was on time and right on schedule. Did the work in less time than estimated. Was neat and clean and cleaned up after the job was done. We will have him return to refinish the entire house of wood flooring at a later date.
Description of Work: I had removed a wall and closet in my house and where the walls were, there was a 2x4 size gap where the hardwood in the one room didn't meet with the hardwood in the other opened up room. Plus, where the closet was there was an area of 2' by 2' that didn't have hardwood. Randy had to "lace" in new hardwood with the old to fill the gaps. He did this using the same type and grade of wood we already had.

I was very pleased with the whole experience. Randy explained the whole process very well and there were no surprises except he decided there didn't need to be stain (only the seal coat) and the bill went down from his estimate. I felt very comfortable leaving Randy with a key to our house. There was very little dust which I was a terrific surprise. He uses a good vacuum system at the same time he sands. I would highly recommend Randy. I will use him again for my next flooring project. The price was lower than other estimates and the floor is fabulous.
Description of Work: Refinished hardwood floors with Glitsa Gold seal. All furniture was removed. The floors were sanded. I wanted a lighter color so no stain was put on it. The seal coat was applied which took 3 days. The smell was strong so we left for the nights the day the seal coat was applied. We were back within about 15 hours and the smell was tolerable. The floor is 650 square feet. Glitsa provides a unique combination of durability, scratch and scuff resistance, clarity and grain definition. It wears 2 times as long as polyurethane. The floors only need to have a seal coat put on them when they start to wear, so if I'm on it and call right away, we won't have to sand or stain again. That's a good deal.

Mr. Johnson is an artist. His attention to detail and dedication to the quality of his work is probably unmatched. Our living room floor was about 50 years old, and I put down a new unfinished oak floor in the dining room (adjacent to the living room). Randy sanded the two floors and took the time to smooth a hump that was present at the intersection of the two rooms (the beam supporting the floors caused the floors to crown a bit). In order to best match the floors with an existing room, the stain was customized. The semigloss finish was also tinted so that the new dining room floor matched the older living room floor. The results were fantastic. The two newly finished floors looked like a wooden tabletop. We selected the Glitsa finish because of its durability. It had been used on other floors in our home and looked great after about ten years (guesstimate). The only downside was the finish was pretty smelly. We knew this beforehand and planned accordingly.
Description of Work: Refinished wood floors in living room (existing 50 year old oak) and in the dining room (new unfinished oak flooring). They also sanded and stained the floors to match bedroom. They finished with three coats of Glitsa (semigloss).
