Planet Hardwood was outstanding. They showed up exactly when they said they would, finished ahead of schedule, and my floors look amazing. They also cleaned up 100% of all the sanding dust.

Mike was great to work with! He got back to us promptly and was able to get to work in a short timeframe. He was professional and extremely punctual for every meeting we had. He made sure to explain the process and the purpose for each step, and made sure we were all on the same page regarding what needed to be done. Quoted price was accurate to what we paid in the end, and was excellent for the quality of work we received. The floors and staircase looked excellent when he finished, with very little dust left when he was finished. Old scratches and divots were removed or filled in cleanly. During final walkthrough we saw that some deeper divots weren’t filled in, and the buffer missed a small 2 inch strip of flooring along one wall. He resolved both of those issues without argument the next business day. When we get more flooring work done in the future, Planet Hardwood will certainly be our first call!

We had a great experience with Mike! He was able to match the color of our existing floor, and it looks beautiful. Highly recommend!

Mike did an awesome job with our hardwood floors! They were very scratched up and had a clear coating that was peeling everywhere. With a 1 year old that wasn’t going to work. The job took close to 2 weeks and Mike worked extremely hard to get it finished even before the 2 week time estimate we were given. The floors look absolutely amazing and the stain color is exactly what we wanted. There were so many pros to this job, I hate to even list the cons. Occasionally Mike wasn’t very responsive or wouldn’t answer texts. I understand when running a business things can get a little crazy, but this happened more than once. Better communication would have been a plus, especially when someone is displaced from their home. We had to ask several times for him to come back and replace the doorway trim pieces. We also have stain in several places on our painted walls. Not sure how we can get it off. I know these jobs are messy but we were a little surprised to see so many spots other than the baseboards. Overall the job was great and we would recommend Mike and Planet Hardwood.

We had 3 bedrooms and a small hallway refinished by Mike. Prior to refinishing the floors were covered with weird paint marks and spills, tons of stains from carpet adhesive, and holes from nails/staples. Mike did a wonderful job making the floors look like new AND matching the finish to our existing hardwood floors that were done by the previous owner. Mike was flexible with us and completed the job in a little over a week. It was a very positive experience.

Planet hardwood did a wonderful job, though tearing out old hardwood was an unexpected difficult task. Nevertheless the guys persevered and got the job done. Impressed with the installed hardwood .... high quality and can be refinished multiple times even though the product is engineered. Our new floors look great and we are highly satisfied. Would recommend Planet Hardwood without reservation.

Planet Hardwood was recommended to us when we relocated and purchased a home in Huntsville. Mike, the owner, gave recommendations on refinishing areas and tying in new flooring to existing flooring. He was professional, and extremely knowledgeable explaining why he would do things a certain way. He does the finishing work himself and is truly an artist. The old flooring flows into the new flooring seamlessly and his Bona system produced very little dust. Mike has an easy going personality and was great to work with. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely hire him again with any flooring needs we have. We feel very lucky that he was recommended to us since we are new to the Huntsville area.

I'm very pleased with the work done. The price was reasonable. They started when they said they would. They worked every day. They cleaned up after themselves. The workmanship and attention to detail were great. The result is even better than I had imagined. I would definitely hire them again.

The work was done very well and in a timely manner. Mike Ward, the owner, was very professional and helpful; he made suggestions about additional items that he noticed. We were very pleased with the job that Planet Hardwood did, and we would highly recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

Mike Ward's company did a great job. The final work turned out beautifully. We use Don Page The Stairman (Derek) to build the new staircase. Mike's team did the staining to match new hardwood floors.

My old floors were in bad shape and was first considering full replacement. Mike, from Planet Hardwood, suggested that they were worth saving. The refinish and repair turned out great! The company has a solid work ethic and Mike was a true artisan in the restoration process. Highly Recommend.

Mike is very knowledgeable and professional. He had to match an existing wood floor and did a fantastic job. He pays close attention to details. Using his Bona certified system, there was much less dust than we expected. We highly recommend and would hire him again.

Mike and his installers did an awesome job. The floors are seamless and the color is great. Mike had excellent communication the whole time. I appreciated being able to text him when I had questions. He gave me several pointers on how to do some other home tasks. He referred me to an excellent painter. All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience and he will definitely have my business again in the future. My only nit-pick was that the new finish molding he installed against the trim looked much better than the existing molding after his sander hit them and worked under them. I would suggest getting all of your finish molding (or quarter round) replaced when you get your floors refinished because he does an excellent job with it!

They turned out beautifully.  Better than what my husband and I were expecting. We had some stains from pets and whatnot that I only hoped could be fixed.  They look like new to me and I couldn't be more pleased.  When we had the initial estimate and we were talking to Mike he said he could fix this and fix that and he did!  During the process he answered all of our questions and was courteous and professional. We will not hesitate to recommend him to friends or family.

We met with Mike and developed a work implementation plan. Mike recommended Movers and Portable Storage to support the plan. Based on his recommendations we made arrangements for moving and storage of furniture as part of the plan. The plan was implemented without any issues.

Mike and his team worked very hard, and diligently installing the wood floor. Each step of the way, they consulted with us to ensure the best look we desired around door thresholds and adjoining rooms. Mike was courteous, timely, efficient, professional, knowledgeable about flooring and stain finishes, and price-competitive with other flooring companies. He took a lot of time going over the process with us before the work started. His team was very impressive with the craftsmanship of their handiwork in prominent areas such as around fireplaces and cabinets. They took a lot of pride in their work which we appreciated. Also, he is still readily available for advise on maintenance issues.

This was the second time I had hired Mike. He did a great job as always and is very thorough in his work. He uses the latest dustless equipment, and that is the ONLY way to go. He has been in the business around 20 years or so, and is not just a professional but more of a craftsman with hard wood floors. I plan to hire him again later this year for more of the same. He is also beats the price of most companies in the area. Currently at 3.75 per sq. ft. as opposed to most who charge 4.25, PLUS you get a better more detailed job than most. These are my brand NEW 54 year old floors :)

The job took almost two weeks because it involved three bedrooms, a hallway, a living room, and dining room floors. I did not stay on site because the work involved most of the house. Although I was not present, the work was done thoroughly and responsibly. Mike Ward is a professional who is not only skilled but also personable. He brought new life to some very old hardwood floors.

I read Mr. Ward's reviews before hiring him. I like to read the all 5 star reviews and the 1 star. I hired Planet Hardwood after reading Mr. Ward's answers to his 1 star reviews. He is truly honest and does incredible work. I will use him into the future and will call him when I need other things done he does not do because I trust and value his opinion. That being said, I did say yes sir and no sir to him so I wouldn't get him going. And going to give him a B for price but I would pay the same again for what I got from him.
