There were many problems with the installation: Spaces as large as 1/8 inch were between the boards, with glue showing. I specifically asked that any boards with dark mineral spots be placed in inconspicuous places, yet the only board with such spots ended up in the middle of the room. The contract said the baseboards would be stained to match the redwood paneling on the walls, yet a stain called "Coffee" was used on them. The threshold they installed between the rooms was cracked, and the boards meeting it were at different levels. (It was hard to see any of this as the work progressed because I couldn't go into the room with the wet glue on the floor.) The workers left some garbage and scraps around our yard.
Sam Levy came out to check all these problems. He never acknowledged that any of my complaints (except about the garbage) were justified, but he did send a crew with a different head man out to fix them (they arrived one morning unannounced.) Their solution for the largest space between boards--very conspicuous by the entrance to the room--was wood filler, which looked terrible. I had to insist that they replace the board with one that fit better, which they did. They also redid the threshold and reduced some of the largest spaces between boards by replacing them. They redid some of the too-dark baseboards. Others we let pass because they will be behind furniture.
We ended up with a B-rated result, but my rating is a C because I had to spend several annoyed hours to get it to a B job and also deal with the disruption for an extra day.
