Will update when work is completed.
Description of Work: In 9/2/2014 I initially contacted Galebach's via Angie's List & got no call within a week. I now have hardwood floor refinishing by them scheduled to start on 6/22/15. Karen Galebach reviewed work to be done & promptly scheduled a estimator to visit. I apologize to Karen for the initial poor Angie's List review.

Response from GALEBACH'S FLOOR FINISHING INC
[Member name removed], I am sorry that you were not contacted- I have no record of receiving a message from you. I am curious how you contacted us initially?? Was it by phone, email or through Angie's List? One of the things that I do daily is return all calls and set up appointments for quotes. I do not go home until all calls have been returned each day- so this comment that we did not call you back puzzles me. My phone number is 717-898-9680. Is that where you called?? Please try again if you are still looking for a quote. Karen Haldeman - Galebach's Floor Finishing, Inc.

This is the second time that I have used Galebach's. They are timely, very professional from start to finish. My floors look fantastic.
Description of Work: Sanded the floors in two rooms and a staircase. Applied three coats of oil based sealer in a satin finish as topcoat.

We had hired a company who did a terrible job refinishing our hardwood floors. I had heard that Galebach's does good work so I called to request an estimate to fix our floors. However, after I told Karen that our floors had been recently done by another company but that they had done a bad job, she stated that she didn't want to and quot;get in the middle of itand quot; and refused to even come and give an estimate. We never asked her to and quot;get in the middle of anything--simply to give us an estimate. She was very rude. Will not be calling this company in the future.

Response from GALEBACH'S FLOOR FINISHING INC
We apologize to [Member name removed] if he was offended by the fact that we were unwilling to quote a job that was just done by another company. We do not, in fact, want to be in the middle of a dispute and [Member name removed] could not furnish us with accurate information about his floor to be able to work on it properly- what finish was used, etc. Stepping into a situation where the customer will not find out what product was used so that compatibility can be established between finishes for adhesion purposes is not a good idea. Who is at fault, then, when it peels?

Too much money to use this company.
Description of Work: The company rep was not very friendly on phone or in person. They have a very nice website and seemed like they know what they are talking about but were the highest company by double the price. So we didn't use them.

Phone inquiry was informed that they were outside our service area. We apologize if this offended them. No prices were discussed. Information is misleading.

They did a beautiful job--I can't believe the difference! They cleaned up every day, were very professional and polite. The floors were sanded mid-week, then sealed the beginning of the next. Over the weekend, one of my cats coughed a hairball onto the bare wood floor, I thought I'd cleaned it up, but after the 1st coat of poly went down, I realized a the spot was still visible. I don't know how they did it, but they got rid of the spot. They even helped me move and replace a few heavy items. I would definately recommend their services.
Description of Work: Refinished hardwood floors throughout my 1940's house--including the stairs. They also installed shoe molding in one of the bedrooms that had previously been carpeted.

Overall, great installation and superb floor refinishing. I'd never use anyone else.
Description of Work: Most recently, I consulted Galebach's for an opinion on a possible job in my home. Their response was immediate and thorough, offering many options, including services outside of their company that may be suitable. In the past, Galebach's has refinished hardwood floors in our home and helped with subcontracting a hardwood installer, following up by finishing the new floors. Can't say enough about the QUALITY and EXCELLENCE of the service and the care for the customer. A+++ on everything.

We had our floors refinished by another company that did a terrible job and left our floors in atrocious condition. Galebachs came in to repair the damage. WOW! What a great job. Karen could tell that we were quite distraught as our 780 square feet of hardwood were right in the middle of the house and having them refinished meant we could only live in our bedrooms and not use the rest of the house. We had already been put out two weeks by the "other guys" and our floors were a mess. Karen took pity on our plight and squeezed us in right away. They were prompt and completed the task on time and we could finally move back in to the rest of the house!

We bought a 1930s home that had been neglected. The oak flooring on the first floor and the staircase were especially stained and scratched. Galebach's refinished the floors for us and did a very good job. I also think they were helpful when we were trying to figure out which stain to use. The only problem we had was that the transition from the stairs to the second floor landing was a little rough but, they fixed it for us.
