We did most of the prep work for Louis in terms of removing the carpet and tack strips. There was a patch job under the carpet where an old floor furnace had once been. We removed the patch and toothed in some new hard wood. Louis did an outstanding job in sanding the floors. He attempted to stain the new hard wood to match the 60+ year old hard wood which didn't go so well but it was a big improvement over the plywood patch. In all the floors look very good. Louis does a fantastic job once he gets to the job. The only problem with Louis is getting him to the job. He is beyond challenging to get in touch with or to have him come look at the job. However, once you get over that hurdle and finally agree on the work, price and start date, just stay out of his way.
Description of Work: Refinished some very old wood floors that had been painted many years ago and then carpeted.

It turned out wonderful, and it has held up. We are very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: We had a bad experience with a previous floor installer/finisher and had Louis Jones come to remedy the situation. We sanded the old finish off and Louis found a stain that dries fast to be sure it was not a problem in coating with polyurethane. He ordered the stain and got the color perfect. He did the floors just the way we wanted.
