ALEXANDER NYERS WOOD FLOORS

unknown

Great!

Alexander is old school and did extensive work resulting in the best possible flooring. I interviewed 6 wood flooring contractors and Alex was the only one who actually checked the moisture content in the existing floor (Which made a difference as it was much higher than the new wood and resulted in our delaying the work 3 weeks until the moisture level fell within the proper range) That alone set him off from all the others who wanted to start right away. He also helped us with some decisions as to how to handle some difficult corners and his suggestions all worked very very well. Cleaned up after the work like he was never there and left us with a beautiful maple hardwood floor that with care will last another 75 years.

Alex restored the floors to incredibly beautiful condition! He was a pleasure to work with: expert, prompt, efficient and friendly! I would hire him again in a minute if I have floors to do again. He followed up this great job with patient teaching about how we should handle the floors to maintain their renewed beauty! His wife Patty was also tremendously helpful, patient and informative before I made my decision to go with Alex for the job. She told me all about my options if I wanted to do it myself, where I could get supplies and potential problems I might run into. I appreciated her thoroughness and patience. I'm so glad I decided to go with having the professional do the job - I could never have done it as well on my own!

He arrived punctually to give the estimate and clear explanation of what to expect. Originally he was to just do the bedroom and hall/entry. He was able to refinish the bedroom floor because it was in fairly good condition. As he tore out the carpet in the hallway, he discovered damage to the existing flooring and we decided together that I would replace the floor with hardwood and would also add the living/dining room to the job. Once he tore out the flooring he discovered that my subfloor was old, reclaimed lumber that was not strong enough for my furniture, and he repaired and reinforced it before laying and refinishing the oak flooring. Additionally he discovered errors made by a shoddy contractor when dry rot was repaired at the time I bought the house, and he was able to reinforce the connection to the support beams from the sub floor addition. I am very grateful that he took the interest, extra time and care to make my home more structurally sound. He also replaced and rebuilt a stair tread, and refinished the stairs. He did a beautiful and meticulous job. He came every day and sometimes Saturdays bright and early. He communicated with me very well, I was never left wondering what was going on. He takes great pride in his work and I am very happy with it. He also gave me explicit instructions on how to care for my new floor.

He met with me at the job site, and we went over the job. He impressed me with his knowledge of floors and refinishing: he pointed areas that would need special attention, and he was frank about the condition of the kitchen floor. His pricing was simple to understand. I had gotten two bids for this job, and the only reasons I ended up going with the other firm were that their pricing on the stairs was a bit cheaper, and I would have needed to get a drop box for the carpet if he did the job (the other firm included disposal in their bid). Overall, though, he was someone that I wouldn't hesitate to employ on a floor refinishing job.

Alex Neyers did an excellent job refinishing my oak floors. He was on time, was thorough, contained his sawdust, and left a beautiful water-based finish. Job was completed within his estimated time. I forgot how beautiful oak floors can be. I would recommend him to anyone needing refinishing.

The flooring was $3 per square foot. The price was better than anyone else that I checked. The floors turned out beautiful. He did everything he said he would. We had several comments when we sold the house, about how great the hardwood floors were. I would use them again in the future and would recommend them to others.
