Description of Work: Bill and his crew refinished our hardwood floors, and did a great job! The floors were damaged in one area where there had been a water leak, and they did an excellent job in fixing (versus replacing) the wood. Bill is extremely friendly, and showed my husband how to touch up other woodwork in our house. Everything was done professionally, and beautifully!

Description of Work: We hired the ' The Floor Guy' to pull out the carpet in our living room and refinish the Hardwood floor underneath. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process, right from the time they inspected the area of floor that needed to be worked on till the time they completed the job. Both, on the day they started the work to the day they finished the work, they were really helpful in getting the things done over and beyond the scope of the job. For example, we needed to move the furniture in the living room to a storage area and they were very helpful and understanding of the situation and cooperated with us. At every step of the way, they explained what they were doing and what are our options. That was really helpful for us to make the right decisions. They were on time every time they said they will start the work on a particular day and were flexible to accommodate our schedule , if on a given day we had something else to do around the time they were doing the work at home. Overall, I will highly recommend them to anyone who are looking for a professional company to handle their floors and be rest assured that they won't be ripped off and get their money's worth.

Description of Work: Our home was built in 1910. The floors could not be sanded down anymore. Bill came and buffed them up and put a preservative on them. He also repaired several spots, which came out well.

Bill Shelpman was wonderful to work with. He set an appointment to look at the floor, showed up as promised and explained how he would have to tackle the job. Since the damage was toward the middle of the room, I was afraid he would have to correct the problem from the middle of the room, all the way back to the closest entry into the room. I was amazed that he cut out and replaced only the damaged boards and you couldn't even tell it had been messed with. He did an amazing job. I couldn't have been more pleased. Having watched him I can say it's truly an amazing skill. To keep my floors beautiful for years to come, I know I'll be calling Bill in the future.
Description of Work: Our hardwood flooring was damaged when a renovation required that our refrigerator be moved. The wheels of the refrigerator left deep grooves in about 14 boards. I needed to have the damaged boards cut out and replaced.

I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHILE THIS JOB WAS DONE AND I CAME HOME. BILL COMMUNICATED WITH ME BY CELL PHONE TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK ON THE FLOORS AGAIN. I THINK THEY LOOK FABULOUS AND I WILL HIRE BILL AGAIN.
Description of Work: WANTED LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM AND SMALL HALL REFINISHED AND SOME REPAIR. THE FLOOR GUY (BILL) CAME ON TIME FOR THE ESTIMATE, GOT DOWN TO FLOOR LEVEL, TOLD ME WHAT WAS POSSIBLE AND WROTE AN ESTIMATE. HE APPEARED ON TIME FOR THE JOB, DID ALL THE WORK AS EXPECTED OR BETTER AND CHARGED EXACTLY WHAT THE ESTIMATE SAID. THE FLOORS LOOK ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND FRIENDS WHO SAW THEM BEFORE AND AFTER ARE AMAZED. I WOULD HIRE THIS MAN AGAIN (AND WILL) TO DO THE REST OF THE FLOORS IN MY HOUSE.

IT TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. WE WERE SO WORRIED THAT IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS WHERE THE NEW FLOOR WAS ADDED, BUT THE NEW AND OLD WOOD BLEND TOGETHER SO WELL THAT YOU CANNOT TELL THAT IT WAS PATCHED IN. BILL WAS WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. HE ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALLS. HE CALLED ME TO KEEP ME UPDATED ON THE STATUS OF THE SPECIAL ORDER. THE FIRST DAY HE DISCOVERED AN UNRELATED PROBLEM WHEN HE TORE OUT THE VINYL. HE WAITED TO CONTINUE ON THAT PORTION OF THE FLOOR UNTIL WE COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. HE WAS WILLING TO HALT THE JOB AND RESCHEDULE IF NECESSARY. THANKFULLY, THAT WASN'T NECESSARY AND HE RESUMED THE NEXT DAY. BILL AND HIS CREW (2 FAMILY MEMBERS) WORKED HARD EVERY DAY, CAME EXACTLY WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD, AND COMPLETED THE JOB AS SCHEDULED. WE ARE SO HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME. BILL DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB, WAS VERY NICE TO WORK WITH, AND WAS VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN.
Description of Work: WE HAVE A LARGE GREAT ROOM AND ADJOINING HALLWAY WITH PRE-FINISHED, PEGGED HARDWOOD FLOOR THAT IS 28 YEARS OLD. THERE WERE 2 VINYL ENTRIES INTO THE ROOM THAT WE WANTED FILLED IN WITH WOOD TO MATCH THE EXISTING FLOOR. THE ORIGINAL FLOOR WAS DUE TO BE REFINISHED AS WELL. BILL SPECIAL ORDERED WOOD TO BE BEVELED AND PEGGED EXACTLY LIKE THE EXISTING FLOOR. HE TORE OUT THE VINYL AND SOME WOOD AS NECESSARY, THEN TOOTHED IN AND LAID THE NEW WOOD. NEXT, HE SANDED THE ENTIRE FLOOR, STAINED IT, AND APPLIED 3 COATS OF POLYURETHANE FINISH. HE ALSO SUGGESTED 2 OAK FLUSH MOUNT FLOOR VENTS WHICH HE STAINED AND FINISHED TO MATCH.

1: BILL WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO SCHEDULE AND WORK WITH. HE HAD GIVEN ME THE ESTIMATE OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT DUE TO DELAYS IN MY RENOVATION, ETC... I WAS NOT ABLE TO BRING HIM OUT TO THE HOUSE UNTIL THIS MONTH. HE FIT ME INTO HIS BUSY SCHEDULE, DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB WITH AN OLD TRICKY HOUSE (MANY OF THE BOARDS HAD TIN CANS HAMMERED TO THEM AS PATCHES!) DID IT IN AN AMAZINGLY EFFICIENT AND COMPETENT WAY. NOT WANTING TO INCONVENIENCE OUR FAMILY, HE WORKED ON THE WEEKEND TO FINISH THE JOB QUICKER. HE ALSO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LEND HIS POWER BUFFER TO MY GENERAL CONTRACTOR SO THAT HE COULD BUFF HIS FINAL COAT IN A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST CONTRACTING EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD! 2: I DID NOT WANT TO FULLY REFINISH THE FLOORS IN THESE TWO ROOMS BECAUSE OF THE TIME COMMITMENT INVOLVED I WAS WORRIED THAT ONE OF THE FLOORS JUST COULDN'T TAKE A FULL REFINISHING. I TOLD BILL I JUST WANTED TO CLEAN THEM UP GIVE THEM SOME SHINE AGAIN. HE DID JUST THAT. HE'S A REAL PRO WITH WOOD FLOORS.
Description of Work: JOB 1: BILL REFINISHED TWO LARGE BEDROOMS, A HALLWAY AND OUR STAIR TREADS IN OUR 1875 HOUSE. ONE FLOOR WAS PREVIOUSLY PAINTED, SO THAT WAS STRIPPED. HE HAD TO REPLACE ABOUT 15-20 BROKEN OR BADLY DAMAGED BOARDS AND THEN TRY AND STAIN THOSE TO MATCH THE OLD WOOD. HE ALSO PATCHED OVER TWO DEFUNCT HEATING VENTS. ($2200) JOB 2: BILL SCREENED THE FLOORS IN MY DINING ROOM AND MY DEN, AND THEN PUT ONE COAT OF POLY ON THEM. ($250)

BILL MADE TWO VISITS TO OUR HOUSE TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE FOR THE JOB AND TO WRITE-UP THE CONTRACT IN A MANNER THAT WOULD WORK FOR OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. HE WAS WILLING TO TAKE THE TIME TO ORGANIZE HIS ESTIMATE TO MATCH THE DETAILS NEEDED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY (I.E., SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR EACH ROOM, AMOUNT OF LABOR RELATED TO TEARING OUT THE FLOOR AND LABOR RELATED TO INSTALLING AND FINISHING THE NEW FLOOR). ONCE WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT, BILL SCHEDULED EVERYTHING (WOOD DELIVERY, STARTING DATE FOR INSTALLATION, ETC.) AND HE STUCK TO THE SCHEDULE PERFECTLY!!! HE AND HIS CREW CLEANED UP EACH DAY AND THE JOB WAS DONE ON TIME. THE FLOORS LOOK GREAT. WE WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN.
Description of Work: BILL SHIPMAN, THE FLOOR GUY, INSTALLED HARDWOOD FLOOR (3/4 INCH RED-OAK, SELECT AND BETTER ) IN OUR KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM. OUR OLD FLOOR WAS DAMAGED DUE TO WATER LEAKS FROM BROKEN PIPES, SO BILL ALSO HAD TO REMOVE SOME OF THE OLD WOOD FLOOR. BILL ALSO INSTALLED FLOOR LEVEL (=FLUSH WITH THE FLOOR) HEATING VENT COVERS, WHICH ARE JUST GREAT, AND TOE-KICKS AROUND THE BASE OF THE CABINETS IN OUR KITCHEN.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BILL. HE WAS CONSCIENTIOUS, PERFORMED GREAT WORK, DID WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO WHEN HE PROMISED. MY FLOORS ARE BEAUTIFUL. HE REALLY STEPPED UP BECAUSE WE WERE UNDER A BIG DEADLINE WITH OUR RENOVATION AND MOVE-IN DATE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PLUS A GOOD PRICE.
