Description of Work: The options offered did not allow me to fully state my contact with this company. I used the company in approximately 1986--as you can see, this was a LONG time ago. However, there work was so exceptional, that I have remembered their name and my contact with them all this time. |We moved into a 1920's home with great oak hardwood floors, which the last owners had trashed with a very dark stain, and extremely uneven sanding. Llama came in and leveled the floors, got rid of the dark stain and left them a lovely golden color. The only thing I was not happy with was that when they sanded, residual dust was left on the walls, about 4 feet up. I understand that a newer method is now used which captures the dust, so this would probably not be an issue again. I would hire them again in a New York minute.

The original contact with this business was pleasant. Samuel came out as scheduled to listen to our plans for raising a sunken living room floor and replacing the hardwood, which was ruined by the previous owner's remodel job. He answered all my questions and said we'd have a job estimate in a week. Exactly one week went by, no contact, so I called the office, reminded the man who answered (he didn't give his name) who we were and asked if they had an estimate for us. He took our contact information again and said we'd have an email reply within a week. That's the last we've ever heard from them. Note to all tradespeople: I trust anyone who runs a business to be the best judge of their own workflow. If my job is too small for you to bother with just say so. No harm, no foul, and best of all, no wasting my time as I wait for you to get back to me. I'll just look for someone else, or you could even recommend someone to me. It's the brush-off I won't forget, and I have no problem letting others know about it. What no one at his business bothered to ask was whether or not we planned further remodeling. We do, and we're willing to spend a whole lot more money on it. Getting this living room floor done is partly an audition for a lot of other work we plan to do in the next few months. Guess who won't be doing the floors on that one?
Description of Work: Sent out a very nice man to estimate our job. And we never heard from them again despite the fact I gave them our address, phone number, and email twice.

Quick response for the estimate. Got the scheduled and done quickly and the floors look wonderful! The workers that did the job were nice and patient. The job was done on time and the floors wer ready when it was time to move in.
Description of Work: I bought a small house about 800 square foot that had all hardwood floors, other than kitchen and bathroom, that needed refinished. I had only a few weeks to get it done before moving in.

I was not very happy with Llama Flooring. There was a lot of damage to the moulding, to the edges of the wood. There was discolouring as well. I was spoken to very rudely when I called about this. Will not use them in future again.
Description of Work: I used Llama Wooden Flooring Company 8 years ago, for my maple flooring in the kitchen. There was a lot of damage to the flooring.

Llama Floors representative arrived the day after we called to give us an estimate. She was patient and professional in answering our questions and helping us to understand the issues involved and what we hoped to do. We regret we were unable to use their services at this time.
Description of Work: We received an estimate only for refinishing a fir floor in our kitchen. Llama Floors was prompt and helpful in discussing our job. We were informed that splintering was the one problem that would only get worse with sanding. Replacing the damaged boards and trying to match the existing flooring into an adjoining area were going to be too difficult and expensive in this case. We may use Llama Floor's services to refinish floors in other rooms when we are ready to refurbish those rooms.

This is a top notch company. The quality is excellent, the price well worth it. Installed hickory floor in the guest room and it looks so good I don't even want to put furniture on it. The finish is beautiful.
Description of Work: Owners came out to give a firm estimate. Worked it out so they would do the work while we were on vacation. They worked well with the housesitter and the cats. They delivered baseboard ahead of time so I could stain it.

I wasn't sure how much floor to refinish and how much to leave carpeted. They were fine with my indecision and eventually I decided to have everything done except one bedroom, the kitchen and bath. Llama relied heavily on one trusted worker who did an excellent job. They were obviously doing several other jobs simultaneously, but kept the progress on mine as scheduled.
Description of Work: LLama refinished the hardware floors in my house. The hardwood was covered by a carpet for over 40 years and was discolored and damaged. The total floor size was a little over 1000 sq ft. Afterward it looked as good as promised.

Llama Wooden Floor is very skilled in the flooring business. My floors look like brand new. Their price was very reasonable and there was no clean up for me. They are the type of company that gives 100% to their customers and I am a very pleased with them.
Description of Work: The flooring technicians re-did the hardwood flooring in my entire downstairs which measured about 1400 square feet in size with the original maple wood stain. They also repaired some damaged panels that needed to be repaired at no additional charge.
