Description of Work: I was very pleased with my experience. Other than the crew foreman, everyone I dealt with was pleasant, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship to lay the tile was excellent. I thought the price for both the tile and the labor was quite reasonable. I plan to use them again (next time for carpet) in the future

Description of Work: One employee advised they could install carpet. Then when I made contact with salesman he advised they would not make enough money and he only scheduled jobs on his sales. I don't appreciate the waste of my time. If their main concern is big cash jobs I would think twice before I made a purchase from them.

Description of Work: I can't say that I would use this company, period. I contacted them to do an estimate to refinish my hardwood floors and to install tile in one bathroom. It has now been over 3 weeks since they came to my house to do the estimate and I have yet to receive one. So, I can't comment on the quality of their work. I can only say they aren't very prompt in their responses. Additionally, I had the distinct impression that they were more interested in convincing me to purchase new hardwood flooring as well as tile from Ray's Flooring, which midway through the estimate they stated they worked for. I believe they mis-represented themselves as being an independent contractor.

I did let the Member down. I failed to follow through on my proposal to him and it is completely my fault that he received a poor level of service. I never sent him a proposal or followed up with a phone call due to how busy I was and at the least I should have called him. I apologize to the Member and everyone who reads this. I disagree with his comments on misrepresenting my company. My wife became very ill two years ago and Ray's Flooring agreed to merge our company with theirs. We have had a long relationship and this merger only benefits both companies and all of our customers. Thanks for your feedback Drew and I apologize again. Gabe

Gabe came out to estimate, and was knowledgeable about all aspects of the job. He warned us about potential issues with the floor that we had, and was very cost effective. He was highly professional and very fair in the costs to re-do part of the floor that didn't meet my expecations originally. I would certainly work with him again!

I would like to thank Member for her patience and understanding with the way the finish behaved on her upper landing area. Any time a finish is applied to the surface of the hardwood without a complete refinishing, there is always some risk of bubbling or misbehavior of the finish. Dori was very flexible in allowing us to make sure the finish looked good.

The math is a little off here, just so that other members don't get an inappropriate idea of pricing for wood floors, but that is a minor thing for the review. We try to make sure that when we close out the job, the maintenance products instructions are left and gone over thoroughly with the homeowner. Thanks so much for your great review.

They worked overtime to make sure it was done correctly. They sanded, screened and finished the floors.
Description of Work: Smith and Sons refinished our American Cherry wood floors. Although it took longer than expected due to the problematical nature of the flooring, they stayed with it and did an excellent job. Gabe and his crew were professional and responsive and even were concerned about the welfare of our cat during the process. The floors are beautiful and we look forward to working with them again.

Member and her husband were two of the most patient people I have ever worked with and they also have great taste in vehicles. There were problems with the way the finish cured in her floor and it took us many days to get it fixed. Thanks so much for giving us the time and space to make those floors some of the most visually stunning floors I have ever seen.

The timing of the project is always one that is difficult to perfect. We try very hard to make sure that the initial timing is practical and realistic, but things happen. When it takes longer than any of us expected, we make sure that the quality still remains high. This ensures your long term satisfaction.

Smith & Sons Flooring is so fabulous! It looked like the hardwood flooring was separating. But Gabe came out and explained everything to me. He said the matter would resolve itself in a matter of weeks and it was. They are an extremely responsive company. He told me if anything happened to the floor beyond the 1 year warranty he would take care of it. Gabe is extremely professional. He takes time to explain exactly what the issue is and what is going to happen. He called to see if he could come earlier, which made my day easier. He brought a worker that had laid the floor with him to help give an explanation I could understand.

There was some contraction in between the boards due to low humidity and high temperatures in the home. The house was unoccupied for a couple of months as their move to the area was solidified. I reassured the homeowner that once the proper environment was reestablished the floor would expand. It is my goal to handle any issues or questions that may arrive immediately. It makes us all feel better.

We interviewed several companies before deciding on Smith & Sons to do the job. We chose them based on their professional presentation, knowledge of the product, ability to get the type of wood we wanted and an all around good feeling. On the recommendation of all of the contractors we interviewed, we purchased new baseboard from Wood Molding Specialists thinking that we would have to finish and install it ourselves, but Gabe quoted a price to do the extra finishing and installation that was very reasonable. We went with unfinished hickory for the floors that they finished after installation and couldn't be happier. The installation took a couple of days longer than we had hoped but was well worth the wait. They did a fanned transition to the front bedrooms that is amazing. They also did an excellent job of preparing for the future installation of tile flooring in the kitchen/dining area, the tile will be much higher than the now existing floor. I can't say enough about the fabulous job they did. They were very neat and cleaned up everywhere when they were done and showed us how to maintain the floors with products they provided.
Description of Work: Removed carpeting from living area, halls and three bedrooms, installed sub-flooring, provided and installed and finished after installation hardwood flooring and finished and installed baseboards.

They are very nice people to deal with. All workers were very professional and on time. I found the price to be quite reasonable. I chose this company because they have a dust containment machine which is used during the sanding process. If a company doesn't have this type of machine, I was told you have to clean your walls, etc. afterwards. The floor came out just beautiful! They even provided me with a free wood floor cleaning kit at the end of the job.

We have made changes in the way we protect the floors we are working on top of so that we minimize the potential for damage in the future. This piece of tile that we nicked was right up against the wood floor we were working with and a tool caused the tile to chip at an edge. Things like this happen occasionally and we endeavor to fix our mistakes and accept responsibility. It was a pleasure working with you.

There was confusion between the sales team and the installation crew about the baseboards. Originally, they were not supposed to be removed, yet they were. The sales team was very responsive and scheduled the carpenter to install new baseboards free of charge. The installation team splashed grout everywhere, and I am still finding it on wall, cabinets, and doors. Several of the tiles are uneven or do not have enough grout between them. It is not bad enough to warrant the company reinstalling the tile, but it is a minor annoyance. However, the sales team and the show room were excellent to work with, maybe I just got a bad installation team.
Description of Work: Remove carpet and tile in 3 bathrooms, garage entryway and laundry room. They arrived on time most of the 3.5 days it took to complete the job. First, they tore up the existing carpet and base boards, and caused minor damage to the walls. Then they laid backer board and the tile. However, they didn't estimate the tile properly so they ran out near the garage door. Next they grouted the tile and made a mess by splashing grout on the walls, doors and cabinets. Then they finished tiling and grouting near the garage door after getting more tile. Finally, a carpenter installed new baseboards that I painted. After the installation, I noticed a chipped and cracked tile, so they sent a team out 1 week later to fix the damaged tile under warranty.

It is a complicated endeavor to run a company. There is always a chance that from one step to another, communication can get difficult. It affects the quality of the client's experience and sometimes dramatically. Reviews like this are hard for me to read because I know that we have failed to provide the homeowner with what they deserve. We are constantly working on the process we have in place and when problems do arise, we have a long history of making sure that we make it right. Thanks for your patience and I will reach out to you to see if there is any way we can address the small issues that still remain.
