Indianapolis Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Recent Review: Overall it was not a fun experience for me and I assume the contractor as well. If you had a system which provided a B- that would be my overall score. Here is the bottom line without going into all the details: Gary's attention to detail was a challenge, I felt like more often than not I was managing his subcontractors. There were detailed plans that called out the work to be done, but for whatever reason no one seemed to be aware of them but me. Kevin was great (woodwork) but there is only one of him. Electrician, Jeff and his son also did a great job as did the painter. We ran afoul in two areas, one was with the drywall guy. That guy got an F from my perspective.......the project should have been 4 weeks took 7 as a result. We also had a significant issue with my hardwoods which were in pristine condition prior to the work being done. Gary had applied a new coat of finish, but there was no way they could mend the significant dings in the floor without totally refinishing and sanding them down. At the end of the day I was satisfied with the work that was done. It looks great (Kevin is an excellent craftsman) and Gary lived up to his promises of " you will be happy with the final result". That said, if he had been all over the job from day one, in particular when the drywall work was being done, he could have saved himself significant cost overruns and time. I know he had other jobs going on and was probably focused more on the higher end (larger revenue) deals. Gary remained calm throughout, even though I was giving him an earful (esp. on the drywall guy) and was relatively easy to work with. He should consider bringing on another project manager, if he his going to run multiple jobs versus relying on Kevin to do it for him. I would recommend his firm (minus the drywall company) in spite of the issues. It's hard to find good contractors and they do good work. ****Punctuality and responsiveness were dinged as a result of the re-work, attention to detail and project taking two to three weeks longer than it should have.

Recent Review: My experience with CMH builders was fantastic from start to finish. They are extremely professional, very good at communicating, and their business process is very efficient to complete projects ahead of schedule at or below budget. The process begins with the creation of your floor plan and 3D interior design. They work with you to get the plan and design that you want at no cost to you unless you decide to do business with them or you can purchase their plan to contract elsewhere. Once you have decided to move forward, you will select the interior furnishings with their interior design team in their showroom. From there you meet your project manager who is your point of contact throughout the process. He/she will manage contractors and sub contractors that do the work in your home, provide weekly status updates and plans for the next week, and make sure that the project is being completed accurately, on time, and at budget. Your project manager is who you can voice any concerns you may have throughout the process and they will take appropriate action to resolve any issues that you may have. Our project manager was Ryan Pruett. His professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and his genuine caring that we were happy and the quality of work of his company throughout the process was second to none. We were so pleased with the work and effort that Ryan put into our project. Our project was a complete finishing of an 1100 square foot walkout basement. This included full plumbing, electrical, HVAC, adding two bedrooms, two bedroom closets, two exterior bedroom windows, a living room, bar area, full bathroom, storage room, and utility room. I cannot say enough about the quality of work that this company provided. We are thrilled with the results, we would absolutely do business with CMH Builders again in the future, and we would recommend them to anyone in central Indiana that is considering finishing their basement.

Recent Review: He was amazing, They came gave me a price and showed up the next day, good communication, they stayed late to finished the project and the outcome is amazing.

Recent Review: Brian was recommended by friends, when I contacted him we spoke about what I wanted done, he informed me that he could take care of the job. He sent me pictures of a room addition he had recently completed. I was impressed by the job done and I felt I would be able to get the kind of room I wanted. I had specifics for materials to be used but I was not sure how the floor plan would work. I told Brian my plan was for a bigger bedroom with closets and a bathroom with a walk-in-shower. He came to my house and surveyed the room that was to be gutted and added on to. He took measurements and talked about placement of walls. I was still not sure if all would fit in the existing area but he assured me it would. A week later he had drawings for me to look at and I made a choice. Brian applied for a got all required permits and a week later the crawlspace and foundation were begun. After the foundation was ready I asked that framing not start for another week so I could host an annual 4th of July party. Brian agreed and had the framing material delivered the following Monday. From there construction took off. In no time at all a new furnace and compressor were installed while exterior walls and complete roof were being built. I had a design change made that required a new drawing and material change, Brian said the change would cause a slight delay but that it could be done since interior walls had yet to be completed. He informed me of the additional cost, as he would later do whenever I made changes, order the required material and construction continued. Whenever I came home from work I always checked to see what had been completed and made sure what was done met my approval. I came home the day the framing for the shower walls were put up, I stood in the shower area and I knew it was not big enough. I was in a panic. I got in touch with Brian the next morning, after an almost sleepless night , and let him know the situation. He said it would no problem and not to worry about it, we could put a slightly smaller vanity in and extend the shower. I was relieved, called and changed the vanity size and when I got home that evening the changes were done. The few times that I did discover construction problems or when I wanted something changed, the adjustments were made politely and promptly. As the construction continued I would meet with Brian about every third week or when a major shift in the construction had begun. We would review what was done and go over what was about to begin. I really enjoyed these meetings, they were very insightful and reassuring that he and I were on the same page and he seemed just as excited and concerned as I was about the final product. The final weeks small items had to be addressed that help drag out the finish date. I asked that some small jobs be done like putting in a cabinet and shelving in the closets, again, done within a few days. I would put post-it notes on the wall and ceiling to point out paint problems and once I had enough put up the painter would be in to do the touch up. All the little things were just as important to Brian as were the major items. When the job was completed we sat down and relived the past several months, that initial phone call in February and all the e-mails and phone calls that followed, the high points and the low points and the things we would change and the things we learned. We also talked about future projects and when those might take place. I look forward to working with Brian again and I think that is the reason I enjoyed the experience; Brian not only worked for me, he worked with me.

Recent Review: Great, everything was done professionally and timely. Season's flooring worked around our schedule and they were most responsive to our requests. I would highly recommend them.

Recent Review: Excellent experience! Brian was always on time and professional, yet friendly. He was attentive to my goal of having my slate floors be easier to care for. So he suggested buffing them down a bit to make them easier to clean. At the same time, he advised against refinishing some marble in the family bathroom because it was poor quality and not worth the expense. So he was not just drumming up more business. The way he sealed my slate floors was with a product that actually soaks into the top layer of the stone, so that it won't come off the way wax will. Now the stone looks totally natural, yet water beads up on it and it's much easier to clean. His work in the shower required making some dust. But none of it escaped the shower because he used a vacuum tool that sucked up the dust before it could get away. Brian also took plenty of time to explain to me how to take care of all the stone in my house. He loves stone work, and it shows! I would totally recommend Absolute Stone Polishing!

Recent Review: Diversity came out and gave me a estimate for repairing and refinishing my wood floors. Tim was punctual and very detailed. The job was preformed and completed in a timely manner. The floors look amazing! I would hire this company again.

Recent Review: We are extremely happy with their work, they were very professional and prompt. Great communication, and were easy to get ahold of.

Recent Review: Very professional when assessing our floors & providing an estimate. He responded quickly when we were ready to schedule. Went out of his way to meet us to complete the contract and down payment. Finished in a timely fashion. Sent email picture updates as we were out of town and not able to see the floors progress. Provided excellent advise on stain colors that made for an outstanding outcome.

Recent Review: The first impressions were very good. I went to the store and it was a lovely flooring store. Christine was very nice, we sat down and we talked about what I wanted to have done. We set up a time for someone to come out and do the estimate. The owner came out and he was very personable, very measured. He did everything and explained the process to me, what and how it would be done. I am inclined to go with this company. They had the edge because they're a Southside store and I live on the Southside and I'm inclined to use what's in my area.

Recent Review: This might have been a good experience if there had been better communication from the start. Changing the color of your floors is apparently a necessary part of the process, but that was not made clear even though, when both the company rep and the technician said something about color, both times I said I wanted the floors the honey color they already were. Neither individual grabbed that opportunity to explain their service or to negotiate a minimal color change that might have been acceptable. Now I have floors in a color I don't like and that doesn't match the other wood in our home. The finish is nice and the worn parts of our floors are less noticeable. Nevertheless, if I could have anticipated the finished look I would never have gone forward with the project. I'm sure there's no way to change it now, so I'm trying to be content.

Recent Review: SANDED AND REFINISHED THEIR FLOORS.

Recent Review: Refinished our wood floors while we were away for a week. Applied a very high quality finish and it has never looked so great We have had refinished our floors with 2 other companies but Full Circle made the other companies look like they had no idea what wood floors should look like. They moved all our furniture and replacedit, put soft pads under the legs of the furniture at no extra cost. I would call them tomorrow for any floor needs. Thanks for the great experience and your expertice!!

Recent Review: It went great start to finish. Our hardwoods look brand new with a gorgeous finish. Louis and his floor crew were punctual and helpful. The crew was friendly, clean, efficient. Would recommend All Wood to anyone anywhere!

Recent Review: We were extremely pleased with the job they did. Brothers did sub out our job but there service was excellent! They put sample shades of different stain choices down so we could see what it would look like. They ended up mixing 2 stains to get what we liked and did a "water" treatment so the stain would take slightly different. They also finished in 2 days instead of 3 by coming back late on day 2 to add the second coat of polly.
