Anthony's Hardwood Floors

The job took longer than anticipated-the ceramic tile didn't come up as easily as anticipated and there were unforseen circumstances. After staining the floors, Larry insisted on resanding and staining because they weren't to his quality standards. After they were re-stained, I saw what he meant. They are gorgeous. He kept in communication with me and worked around my schedule and juggling two dogs (with the rain and mud) He views this as an art.

Price: Sought several quotes and while Larry was not the least expensive he kindly provided a discount to meet the best deal I received. Flexibility: I was specific about the job being was completed in 2 sections - over several weeks/weekends and Larry was the only company open to accommodate me and pets living in the house while the work was being completed. All other vendors mandated leaving which was impossible at the time. I appreciated Larry's flexibility. Work: Larry - and occasionally another person - did fantastic work! I could not have been more pleased and have received many compliments on the floors. His work is definitely a tribute to someone who has been doing this creative lost art for 30-40 years. He even returned for an extra day's work - without charge - because he want to rebuff several sections to ensure the stain dried correctly. Note: The company seems to be a 1-2 person job, so Larry was busy and at times, moving the job forward was occasionally difficult to schedule. I was willing to be flexible as hardwood floors are a craft and Larry indeed has it perfected! I would refer anyone to looking to refinish or lay new hardwoods to Larry without hesitation.

I called 6 different companies from the list. Larry was very prompt in returning my call and came out immediately to give me a written quote. He gave me the quote on the spot and was very friendly. Once I had collected all of the other quotes, Larry was one of the least expensive and seemed trustworthy, so I signed up with him. He and his partner arrived when they said they would, and worked carefully on my 200 year old flooring. The result was way better than my expectations!! I could not be happier with their work and plan on using them again for the rest of my home!!

It went VERY well. We waited for a bit for his "best finisher" to be available, but they were both super. The work was completed on time, and my floors look fabulous!

the project did not go at all because the company did not have the courtesy to return my call asking for an estimate

Larry Anthony and his assistant did a wonderful job with the wood floors in our Westerville Cape Cod home. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. He sanded the floors; took off the inferior polyurithane coat that was on it; and applied top quality polyurithane on it. I would highly recommend him to others and have already done so. We will have him come back and do the upstairs bedroom wood floors too.

Called 4 companies through Angie's List for hardwood floor refinishing. Scheduled an appointment with all 4. Larry Anthony did not show up or call to reschedule out appointment with him. We called again, left a message thinking perhaps we had the wrong day/time. No return phone call. Angry as we had to take off work to be home to meet with Anthony's Floors for estimate.

We originally called Anthony's Floors to get a quote on refinishing the Living Room and Dining Room of our 1920 Clintonville home. We just removed carpet in the dining room, and the floors had some damage. Larry was honest that he couldn't refinish, our floors were too thin, and it would not fix our floors problems. He suggested new floors. We thought about it and decided to go with it. Work started on a Tuesday, and first the old floors came up. When that happened we noticed a few subfloor boards needed to be replaced and he did so. Work was slow at first, but they kicked into gear over the weekend. By the following Monday, the floors were done and just needed to air out. We were able to move back in by that Wednesday night. When we moved back the house was clean in those two rooms (the kitchen and basement got a lot of dust!) And the floors were gorgeous. Having new floors eliminated our squeaks and creaks, got rid of the sticking up nails, and our floors actually went all the way to the wall. I am very happy with his work. I do advise anyone who is doing this that it is a little difficult on a family. You have to move out all your furniture. You can't live in your house for a few days, and you have lots and lots of dust to clean up in adjoining rooms afterwords.

They have excellent service. Larry had to fix a job that had been incorrectly done. He had to scrape finish that had been 'gunked' on and redo it himself.

I would say the experience went very well. His services were good. There was a small delay after we paid him to do some additional work, but we worked that small problem out, and he finally came out and his work was quite good. His quite was competitive as well.

I had the flooring in one of my rooms and one closet re-finished by Anthony's Floors. His prices were reasonable, and the work he did was of good quality. However, when he was done finishing the floor, I noticed the color didn't match the rest of the flooring in my home.

Larry came out to do an estimate and then returned about a week later with a co-worker so as to assure an accurate estimate. We wanted an old laminate floor removed and new hardwood flooring put down in our kitchen. We were very impressed with Larry and his co-worker. They were thorough and spent a good deal of time looking at the floor and discussing what it might take to remove it. They spent time explaining everything in detail. We felt confident with their knowledge and skills,and after four estimates, they were our first choice. Larry called us a couple weeks later to inquire as to whether or not we were going to use his company, and we told him that we were definitely considering him and would get back to him soon (we were waiting on one final estimate but were fairly certain we would go with Larry). Once our final decision was made, we were able to reach him once and told him we wanted him to do the job. The telephone connection was poor, so he stated he would call us back, but never did. We left at least four more messages with the final one stating they were our first choice but if we didn't hear from them we would assume they did not want the job. We never heard from Larry again. We are starting over getting estimates.

I was scheduled to have an estimate. No one showed up or called to reschedule. When I called them back the next day, they rescheduled the appointment. However, the same thing happened again: no one came or called to say they they couldn't make it.

Failed to show for estimate appointment. Did not return call.

Messages left twice over several weeks. Told the lady who answered BOTH times promised a call back, but no one had the courtesy to return calls.

First of all, Larry Anthony has proven himself as a class act. His estimate was very competitive based on the amount of work, and he also invited me to a current job-site where I could witness his work. He was very good at setting expectations when it came to the time it would take to complete the job and what the finished product would look like. I believe Larry's main strength comes from communication. Since I was out of town during the majority of the job, Larry contacted me almost daily with progress reports. This helped both my wife and me to enjoy the process and not be stressed. It seems all jobs have some sort of complication. For Larry, he had to let go one of his workers during the job. Instead of calling with a story on how the completion date would be pushed back, Larry ended up finishing the job himself. You don't expect that type of service all the time, and Larry is no spring chicken, lol. It looks better than we could have ever hoped for. Thanks Larry !!

Larry was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. We decided to go with another company based on schedule availability and lower estimate.

Larry Anthony did a great job refinishing our second-level bedroom floors of our Westerville Cape Cod home. The floors look wonderful and he takes a lot of pride in his work. I would highly recommend Larry Anthony to anyone who wants the finest job done on their hardwood floors.

We knew we wanted our floors refinished, but we did not leave adequate time to have this done before our daughter's family moved in as we moved out. We were concerned especially about the effect of the lingering fumes on their young children. Larry came to the rescue and provided the service we needed in a time frame that even allowed the house to air out before the kids arrived. To accomplish this he and his helpers (Greg and George) worked crazy hours (one night 'til 2:30 a.m.). The final product looked great and we would not hesitate to hire Larry again. Besides all that, he gave us the best estimate we received.

This is the best $1,100 we have ever spent on our house. Larry came out to our house 2 weeks prior to provide us an estimate. He warned us that the pet stains may not come out but that he would do his best. Also, he agreed to fill in some holes in the floor that another Angie's List provider was not willing to do. The price was a bargain for the work performed. It was a 3 day job....floors were sanded & 1 coat of poly. was applied on 6/6, with a 2nd coating applied on 6/7 & 3rd & final coating on 6/8. My husband met Larry at our house at 8 a.m. on 6/9 to inspect the work & pay Larry. My husband and I are beyond satisfied. Our floors are absolutely gorgeous. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give Larry an 11. My husband and I would highly recommend Larry to anyone needing their hardwood floors refinished.

I was very disappointed that Larry left me without any options except he said he would REPLACE the floor for around $4,000 (his original sanding estimate was $720). Needless to say, that amount was considerably over my budget. This was an investment property, and I could not approve that kind of expenditure. If he had helped me find someone else or provided me with any kind of assistance, I would have been OK with it - but he just didn't want to do the work (remember, I had approved the $1,400 amount he said it would take to sand the floors). So, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN when asking for an estimate from Anthony's Floors.

Received estimate to refinish wood hardwood floor. We were subsequently informed that refinishing of the quarter-round molding around the perimeter of the floor was not included in the price. Consequently, we paid extra to refinish the molding, otherwise the color of the floor would not have matched. It seems to me that molding is a part of the floor and should have been covered by the estimate. Not refinishing the floor is like buying a suit with the color of the jacket being a different color from the pants!

Excellent work, I added additional area to original contract, very easy to work with Larry and Bill. It looks great, wife and my self very happy with Anthony's Floors.

He was outstanding!! He gave a great price, did it in a short amount of time. He fixed another contractors problems when installing the floor. He just did a great job!

Larry was on time and extremely cooperative in working around our schedule. Floors look great! I have used other floor refinishers on same floors and Larry is by far the best!
