Description of Work: These guys installed new bamboo hardwood floors on the second floor of a house I just bought. The floors turned out great. They were very responsive throughout the process and were able to get the product a week sooner to meet my schedule.

Description of Work: I had the hardwoods refinished in my house and I had a series of issues with these guys. For one, they left my house keys outside sitting on an electrical box for a week before telling me where they were. I had assumed the keys were in the house but in fact, anyone could have grabbed those keys and broken into my house. Their excuse was that they thought the house was vacant. Even still, inexcusable. Then they left bare foot prints all through the living room and had to come back several times to touch up the spots because the prints were so deep. It was never fully fixed. Dallas also made several appointments with me that he then claimed were on a different day or he would call 20 minutes after he was supposed to be there and pretend we still had to schedule for later in the week. Meanwhile, my pets had been locked in a bedroom all day in preparation for them to refinish the floors. He tried to make up for it by giving me a discount and sending me a small gift card as an apology but there were too many things that had gone wrong.

Response from Dallas Watson Flooring
Hello {removed member name}: I am sorry about the negative experience you had with our company in 2011. We strive to impress every customer, and when we fall short we seek to identify the problem to make sure it does not happen again. At your recommendation, we now install locking key-boxes on all jobs where the customer is not going to be there. After they job they are stored safely away. We also offer a two year warranty on all labor, and are happy to come out and do any necessary touch up or repairs. I wanted to offer to you a free re-coat of you floors if you ever decide to have them done. It can re-store the original finish and take away any marks that might be there. Unfortunately we were not able to do that on your floors since you had moved in already, if you ever go to sell or just want to have them touched up, feel free to call us and we will come out and re-store the original look of you floors at no charge. Again, I am sorry that you had less than positive experience with us, and we appreciate you feedback. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future to demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement and putting our customers recommendations into practice. Thanks again for your input. Dallas Watson

It looks great -- no complaints. The inlay looks great as well. Dallas's quote was more or less in the middle of the other quotes I got. I picked this company primarily because they had done some previous work for us -- replacing a manufactured-wood floor (like Pergo) downstairs. That turned out really nice as well. BTW, the manufactured wood floors are a lot cheaper! To those who are downgrading this company because of the responsiveness ... yeah, Dallas doesn't always respond immediately to emails etc. But I found that if you email him again to remind him, he does respond. He knows his stuff, and when he said he was going to show up, he always did -- on time.
Description of Work: Dallas's crew refinished a rather large section of our living area -- living room, office, kitchen, bathroom, stairs (all oak). The flooring had been put in over a series of years (most of it was originally carpet; the office was added as part of a remodel), so some of it was 20 years old, while other parts were about 7-10 years old. Also, some parts were swedish finish while others were the newer water-based finish. It needed to be refinished! Anyway, Dallas's guys sanded all the wood, filled it, and put on the finish. They work hard! They were here 8am-6pm for a couple of days plus a few hours on a few days after that. They also put in some darker Brazilian cherry inlay strips near where our new fireplace is going.

We started out getting an excellent estimate and were impressed with Dallas's knowledge. He seemed like a great guy. We scheduled our floors to be refinished while we were in the hospital w/our sick child. Dallas was able to move the date up for us due to a last minute cancellation, which was great. The floors are very old and were very damaged. We weren't expecting much. The job took an extra day to complete. On the final invoice there was an extra charge that was listed as something we had never talked about. He also did a patch for us that was quoted as $50 but we were charged $75 (not that big of a deal). There is also banding where the stain wasn't wiped up fast enough and swirl marks all over the floors. I called and left messages asking about the extra charges and banding but never heard from him again. The floors do look much, much better than before but I am upset that my questions were never anwsered. I had such a good initial experience with the estimate and scheduling that we were planning on using him for the entire house, now I have to look for someone else to refinish the rest of my hardwoods. ***update, Dallas has gotten back to me and is coming out to address our issues and I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: Stained and refinished old fir floors in 2 bedrooms.

Called Dallas for an estimate and he came to our house at the scheduled time. He then sent an estimate via email. I responded with a few questions and heard nothing back. After a follow-up email from me, he finally responded with answers to my questions. I then told him that I wanted to go ahead with the job and again he didn't respond. Clearly he doesn't want the business and he completely wasted my time.
Description of Work: Provided an initial estimate in a timely fashion. No services performed due to complete lack of follow-up om his part.

We are delighted with the work that Dallas and his crew did. From the first meeting we found Dallas to be knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything that we would need to do to get ready for the process (e.g. moving all our furniture out and vacating the house for three and a half days). When we returned the floors looked like new. Places where there had been damage from animals and other stains were gone. Care had been taken to replace the baseboards carefully. We would not hesitate to recommend Dallas Watson for floor refinishing.

Dallas was professional when doing the estimate. His price was the lowest of the three estimates we got. We had one floor entirely of top-nailed oak estimated at $3 and a top floor of side-nailed at $2.50 a square foot. Dallas's team came when we expected them, completed the work quickly and on time.

I will use Dallas for all my floor work. I was very pleased with the results. It looked fantastic and Dallas and his crew kicked the work out very quickly (one day). It helped that the basement apt was already empty and the floor and door molding already removed. It was a relief and satisfying to see the results. It was finally done! :) They were very tidy and every corner and edge was perfect. Dallas was VERY easy to work with and quick to respond via phone or email. But, I think the *real* story is the customer service and followup Dallas displayed AFTER the job. We had a hidden overflow washer drain problem (water leak inside wall) that caused water to spread silently under the floor between the laminate, plastic sheeting, and cement floor. It appeared when the long hall run buckled a little and Dallas had mentioned that because the run was so long that it might happen and to call him and he would install a transition strip to handle any expansion/contraction (no charge). Well, when the floor came up and water was discovered it was heartbreaking! The floor wasn't even a month old and already needed replacing. Dallas made arrangements to revisit (after the plumbing/drain issue was resolved) to begin the tear-up to see just how big the issue was. I purchased additional flooring and happily the damage was minimal (1 pkg). But as far as I'm concerned Dallas, went above and beyond the call. He made several evening followup visits (I'm sure after his normal schedule jobs during the day), kept me informed of what he found, made suggestions about how to proceed, let me make the decision, and then finished the work quickly and so well that you can't even tell he had half the hall and a portion of a bedroom tore up. I am thrilled (again :) ), but what I am most happy about is I have found my floor person for all future work. I don't have to worry about anything because I know Dallas will do the right work, for a fair price, with good communication that sets expectations, and quality workmanship. Thank you Dallas!

We decided to go with Dallas Watson because, out of the 3 companies we called for a quote, one was much pricier, and the other one didn't show for the appointment. They didn't got started on the floors 5 or 6 days later than they originally guessed, which put us in a bit of a tight spot because we were moving and had to get our furniture out of our old place by a set date and have crazy travel schedules. They did take one less day than estimated to do the work, though. We stopped by the house one evening while they were doing work to water the plants and discovered our house key in the front door with no one there, which made me unhappy since we had already moved in a fair bit of expensive equipment. The floors in general look pretty good, with the previous cracks subtly filled in, though there is a set of foot-shaped stains on our dining room floor in a spot that will be awkward to cover with a rug. My biggest beef is that they didn't mention that they would get quite a bit of stain on the baseboards and even some on the walls. We had just painted the walls and trim in one room, and I would have waited or taped up some paper if I had known this was going to happen. In another room, I don't have the paint to touch up the walls, so will be leaving the marks or have to go through the painful color-matching process to do touch-ups. If not for the footprints and the poor communication about stain on the walls, I would have been happy with Dallas Watson. As things are, though, I wouldn't recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a dark stain and Swedish finish put on our fir floors in three rooms, which are getting pretty thin and had significant gaps between floorboards.

I called Dallas on July first and was thrilled to have him give an estimate on the 2nd. We talked about the possibility of doing just one room or maybe three and he gave me estimates for the different options. He said he could do just the one room on the 6th but it would be the 7th and 8th to do all three. I told him I would be sure to call him that evening after I talked it over with my husband so he could plan his week and not be bothered over the long weekend. I called him Friday evening and told him we only wanted the one room and that the 6th wasn't the best day for me could he do it the 7th or 8th and he said he would check his calendar and get back to me. Never heard from him again.

Excellent--see above discription
Description of Work: Dallas showed up when scheduled. Looked over the project and provided a price. I chose him without competition since I liked his attitude and the price seemed right. He recommended the material "Adura" which it turned out that he was an expert at laying. He had me buy it from his supplier and then started work when I picked it up. The project was 300 square feet. Involved in removing the existing cork floor, removing the glue in one room and the 1/2 inch underlayment in the other. He used a thin layer of cement like material to evenout the uneveness. He used several helpers rotating them to provide a little work for his whole crew. The installation is fabulous. I would recommend using him. Once on the job, he came every day completing the project in three days.

Dallas and his team did a great job. They were on-time every day and worked long, hard hours. Ultimately, the job took longer than Dallas had anticipated and so he had to return an additional day and finish up some final touches. He also installed some covering underneath the stair nosing and only charged me for the cost of the materials. So he went the ''extra mile'' to make sure the job was done completely and looked good.
Description of Work: The work consisted of installing new prefinished Brazilian Teak hardwood flooring in our kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway.
