Tim did a superb job restoring our hardwood floors. We just bought our first home, and found some sad looking hardwood in the living room and all three bedrooms. They looked so bad we weren't sure if they could be saved. Thankfully Tim was able to come right out, provide an estimate, and begin work the very next business day! Within two weeks, the job was done and we couldn't be happier with the results. You'd think we have brand new wood floors... worth every penny. We can't say enough good things about Tim, from his friendly demeanor to his expertise and above all, his dedication to really getting the job done right no matter what it takes! Thanks again.

Tim seemed like a good guy over the phone, but on the day of the project he called and got fussy with me because of construction detour on the opposite side of my community. He accused me of not telling him about the construction which I would have if I knew which direction he was taking and most GPS trackers reroute drivers anyway. I did advise Tim to take the most used route which would take him directly to my home. Nonetheless, he got really upset with me, complained that the amount of my project was not worth his "inconvenience" and told me to hire someone else. I am very disappointed the way he handled this situation and no customer should spoken to in this way. My advice to customers, if there are ANY incoveniences be sure to know them ahead of time and communicate them clearly to Tim and be sure to ask if your project is worth the incovenience.

Description of Work: Tim refinished my wood floors and did an amazing job. He is very nice. Was completed on the time table he specified and I couldn't be happier. They look amazing! Even the guy putting in my new vinyl kitchen floor was impressed.

Description of Work: Tim was great. Showed up when he said he was going to and kept my home virtually dust free during the process. Brought my old rough floors back to life!
Tim is an amazing service provider. Not only is he a friendly guy, the quality of his work is wonderful. He sanded every inch of the floor, filled cracks and nail holes, sanded again, and applied the sealer. I've had floors refinished before where you couldn't be in the house for days because of the fumes. Not this time, as soon as the product dries, there is virtually no smell. Also, Tim says no dust, and there is no dust. Amazing. The floors look brand new! Thanks, Tim!

Description of Work: You can't rank a business who does not return your emails or calls. I called 3 times and sent an email and never heard back from them. Apparently not interested in New Albany clients.
This experience was one of the best I have ever had with a contractor. Tim was professional and courteous and very knowledgeable about wood floors. He did a tremendous job and made my 15 year old floors look beautiful again! He showed up the day he was scheduled and on time. We would highly recommend him! He definitely knows wood floors and how to make them look great!

Fantastic!! Tim Combs is more than a floor refinisher he is an artist! I have had a lot of experience with wood floors over the years. I have never seen such a beautiful job! Tim is very professional and listens carefully to what you want. He is has a passion for his work and is not in it just for the job.

As an Architect, I have an appreciation for craftsmanship and quality work (which sadly seems to be lacking in this day and age). Not the case with Tim (who is the owner and the one who actually does the work). He is one of those rare individuals who cares more about doing it right than simply getting it done, getting paid, and moving on to the next job. I commented to my wife that it was as if he was working on his own floor, in his own house. We had all agreed on a stain sample we thought would work, but once he started applying it in a closet he was concerned that it may have been slightly darker than we anticipated. He stoped what he was doing and called us in to take another look. We all agreed lighter would be better. He re-sanded the closet (no additional charge) and the entire floor turned out beautiful. Couldn't be happier. I have two more bedrooms and a hallway/stair that I plan to have him back to do. In fact, will probably have him come back to re-do the entire living room/dining room/kitchen hardwoods that were done previously by others. I would have absolutely no qualms about using him again or reccommending him to my neighbors. Great work at a fair and competative price.

Went great! He was always 15 minutes early, and the work was always done on time. I also never saw a speck of dust from the sanding, and the Bona finishes had almost no odor. Would use this guy again if we decide to refinish other rooms.

My overall experience was wonderful. I don't remember the amount that I spent but it was very reasonable. It was an excellent price. A friend of mine recommended him to me. He has done a variety of jobs in my area and he has got all my floors done. He is on time. He is personable and professional. The quality of his work is excellent. He has limited ability and sometimes it is a little slower than I would like, so I would give him a and lsquo;B' for responsiveness just because he cannot do as much as he can do. He has had some health issues.

No work was done.
Description of Work: My wife and I want to have aprox 550 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring refinished. We got an email estimate from Tim and then asked him for an on site estimate. Tim arrived on time this past Tuesday (11-16-2010) and looked at the job to be done. We asked a lot of questions. Tim said he had an edger with him and could sand inside a closet to show us how the wood would look. After doing this we talked some more and Tim suggested we use another contractor, he named three different ones and said he thought we would be happy with them. Naturally, we were puzzled, but he said he often recommends other contractors. Tim left without giving us an estimate. He said we could just email the room dimensions to him, he trusted us. After Tim left we decided that we wanted him to do the job, even though some parts of the meeting seemed a little odd. The next morning, before we could contact him, we received an email from Tim stating "While I was at your house, both of you doubted my company's integrity many times". He went on to say that he thought it was in his best interest to decline the job. The only time we questioned him was when he said he had an A+ rating on Angies List, I said I hadn't seen any ratings higher than A. Tim insisted that he had an A+, and since I'm very new to Angies List I didn't say any more and everything seemed fine. I sent a return email to Tim expressing my regret that he did not want to do the job. I also explained that my wife and I had not at any time intended to question his integrity. I explained that we were both quite puzzled by his decision and explanation for that decision. We have not heard back from Tim.

We decided to go with carpeting instead of refinishing the hardwood floor. They were excellent. We would have likely used them if we would have went with refinishing the hardwood floor. They seemed very, very knowledgeable and seemed very responsive to our concerns.

Tim, the owner, took 40-year old floors and made them look new again. He was punctual, professional and personable. If you are looking for a company who will give you a reasonable estimate and stick to it AND do a superb job on your floors then you are looking for Gahanna Wood Floor Refinishing. Tim is one of the most conscientious workers I have ever had in my home. He truly loves what he does and he takes pride in the finished product. I recommend him to anyone who is looking to beautify their floors and increase the value of their home.
Description of Work: Tim refinished hardwood floors in 3 rooms, 2 closets and a hallway. In certain areas he had to install new hardwood where walls had been removed.

Our house is almost two hundred years old. We felt very comfortable having him work on our historic house. He also gave us some pointers on how to take care of the floor. He used a dustless method while working on the floor. He is meticulous with his work and did an excellent job.
