Response from Norwegian Wood
[member name removed], We are sorry our pricing was several thousand higher than other contractors you contacted. Norwegian Wood has been in business almost 25 years - we are typically not the most expensive nor the least expensive. Approx 80% of our business is by word-of-mouth and repeat customers. We are very confused about your comments that we did not itemize your estimate which follows: FOYER/LIVING/DINING AREA AND BEDROOM - NO WORK TO CLOSETS - APPROX.( ) REMOVED SQ FOOTAGE FOR RESPONSE:Standard dust protection with plastic and 3M blue tape. Move large pieces of furniture. Supply and install 1/2" plywood glued and screwed to existing 9" x 9" wood tile. Supply and install new 9/16" x 3-1/8" x 72-7/8" prefinished - Solid Stand Woven Bamboo by ECOFUSION – wheat color; micro-bevel. Supply and install new paint grade moldings. All caulking and painting of moldings by others. Did we leave something our of your estimate? We hope you found a contractor you are happy with and are enjoying your new wood floors. Regards, Norwegian Wood

Description of Work: Was not impressed by person who came to estimate my refinishing job. He immediately started talking about needing to redo the whole place with new flooring. Having done this sort of work a few times felt this was was way over board and that he was not responding to the service estinmate request I had made. Did not use as a result.

Thank you for your feedback. As an Angie's List "Super Service Award" recipient in 2010 and 2011 we are sorry to hear this was your experience. The estimator you met with is consistently praised for his honesty and professionalism. Our estimator suggested replacing your floors based on their current condition. Instead we quoted to sand and refinish with an option for patch repairs at your request to salvage the floors . As a result the estimate states: NOTE: EXISTING FLOORS ARE THIN! BE CAREFUL WHEN SANDING! I personally called you in follow-up to confirm you received the estimate and you told me you were evaluating it. You did not mention you were not happy with the estimator and/or his recommendations. If you had, we would have addressed your concerns at that time. We ask that you please visit our website for customer comments about our work and other Angie's List reviews/comments as your experience is not typical. Thank you.

Description of Work: Had extended conversations with the owner. He outperformed in helping me with selection of wood etc. I ended up going with an outfit I had worked with before but only because I had decided to leave the apartment during the repairs. However, it was a close call but because of my disability (recovery from an operation) I made what was for me a safe choice. I can't comment on what the finished product would have been but will say I was favorably impressed with what contact we had.

The company was courteous and attentive to my needs and schedule. I was not able to monitor the work beyond the first day to meet the crew and they were in and out is the time agreed upon. My building manager complimented them after they were finished, said there was no smell. My floors looked beautiful when the job was done. I am writing my report now because I want to hire them again.

The job was perfect. It was very well done and the company is oriented to giving high quality customer service. They wrote me emails and we talked on the telephone every time I needed something clarified. They were excellent and very helpful for us. They did a terrific job, did what they said they would do, and did it in a timely manner. They gave me an estimate and held right to it. They cleaned up well when it was all done.
Description of Work: I had a pipe that broke underneath my 30 x 20 home making the hardwood flooring go bad. We bought the new oak hardwood from Norwegian Wood and they also did the installation for us. It took six guys about three weeks to replace all the hardwood floors in three rooms of my home. They replaced the floors in my living room, dining room, and kitchen, which is approximately 700-800 square feet.

It went well, which can largely be attributed to their great customer service and professionalism. A lot of the credit goes to Zuba, the project manager, who did a fantastic job of managing the project. As I vetted contractors, she was helpful in explaining all the steps necessary and being responsive to all of my questions. She even suggested masonite to put my appliances on and purchasing sliders, since they would be temporarily stored in another room. During the actual work, I was called a week later to choose the stain. The workers did a great job with the floor and also did a good job of not causing any damage to my building or bothering any of my neighbors. Zuba continued to be patient and helpful throughout the entire process and graciously touched up a section of my floor that was scratched by my mover. I would highly recommend Norwegian Wood to friends and relatives. I would also use them again for future work.
Description of Work: Norwegian Wood installed a new oak floor in my apartment, which had been damaged due to warping from a leaky radiator. The project took two weeks to complete and also included installation of shoe molding.

Could not have gone better. Referred me to a better supplier than others had done, whose products and knowledge are leagues above any other. Priced the job very reasonably. All the workmen involved were good, pleasant and punctual. My contact Gad and the office staff were realistic, helpful, returned calls promptly and held my hand when I got anxious - and even made me laugh. They even managed to shorten the timetable for me at the last minute as a small gap in their schedule opened up and they moved some of their crews around. Unfortunately I have no more floors to redo otherwise I'd call Gad again.
Description of Work: Installation of wood floors in 3 rooms, sanding and re-sealing existing wood floor in one room.

I have used Norwegian Wood for other floors in my building and have always had great results. I called to schedule the work a week or two in advance, and everything went as planned. Norwegian Wood's management and crew are superb: reliable and professional, highly skilled and experienced. They were courteous and thoughtful, covering walls or cabinets where necessary - and no dust! They were super organized/efficient. The floor turned out beautifully.

They do great work. They are very responsive to questions, they fix problems as they come up, and in our experience they never tried to increase the price. In fact, we requested some changes and still there were no price increases. They are not inexpensive to start with, but they are fair and you will get what is promised at the promised price. Zuba is very, very helpful on the telephone (she helped us clear up a couple questions along the way). It was a pleasure working with this company, and we love our new floors. We highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: This was our second job done by Norwegian Wood. The last job was similar to this one. We installed new wood floors on an entire floor of a brownstone. The last project came out very well, so we decided to invest in new floors on our master bedroom level (bedroom, office, hallways) on the third floor of a Victorian brownstone. This time we installed oak strip floors (on a slant) and again the results were wonderful.
