Our house was build in 1938 and has the original flooring in most areas, so it was both very beaten up and had already been sanded to within an inch of its life. We got three bids, one of which was much higher (and did not inspire confidence), and two of which were about the same. The other bidder was very wary about doing the floors, and also did not get back to us promptly. David, the owner of Prime, also said that the floors were at their last sanding, but he assured us that they could sand them one more time and said that he would replace the boards as needed in a few areas that were too far gone. In addition, we had a difficult schedule due to travel plans (this is currently our second home). David promised to get back to us with a bid later that day, and to do everything he could to meet our schedule. We got his bid in a few hours, and it was very fair, and his folks worked hard to meet our scheduling needs.
Of course, the most important part is the actual work. First, his crew was very professional, courteous, and neat. They took great care prepping the house, and were very easy to be around - which was important since we put our bed in the kitchen and stayed there the entire time. They took their time - they worked hard, but were always making sure that it was done right - and in particular made sure that they sanded enough but not too much for the old floors. We had the floors stained as well, and they put three coats of sealant on top. Finally, after the work was done I noticed three little places where I wanted a bit of touch up. I called and they were there the next day and cheerfully took care of the punch list. The house looks beautiful. Although it is clearly the last time these old floors can be refinished, we are confident that we have at least another 15 or 20 years on them if we treat them well.
Pricing was on the slightly high side but maybe this is what flooring installation costs today. Actually, they were not that much higher priced than any of the others. I would highly recommend Prime to my friends.
We used Lumber Liquidators for the flooring itself. We had literally just completed the job when the s*&tstorm regarding LL and
60 Minutes aired. LL was quite easy to work with, excellent website, no bad surprises in terms of price. They have made a big effort to stay in touch with their customers about this situation. That being said, I would be very careful about purchasing any Chinese made flooring from them in the future. I'm assuming they will be on maximum alert to get things right however but I would still check if a US made substitute was available first.
But I was puzzled that when it came to stains there had been only two options, both of which were significantly lighter than the rest of the wood floors in the home. When I later had another company come in and finish the floors in the rest of the house, it became evident that the stain was all wrong and should have been darker.
I wrote a less than satisfactory review on Angie's List, and I was really surprised when they called me in less than 24 hours. Bottom line, the company was willing to work with me. I'm still trying to figure out a time when they can come back and re-do the two rooms in a stain that matches the rest of the wood flooring in the rest of the house. I wish the job had gone well from the very beginning, but I have to say they have done everything they could to make it right so far.
We would highly recommend them. Their whole team -- from the owner who came to do the estimate, to Jonathan who was our customer service manager, to the two gentlemen who did all the hard work on our floors -- were all excellent in their integrity, responsiveness, and quality of work. A very fair price, too. We are very grateful, to say the least.
I would recommend this company without reservation!
The guys arrived early, around 8am, and worked until 9PM. And the next day, they did it again! The job was supposed to take 4 days, and they did it in 2. Since our moving was contingent on the floors being ready for foot traffic, this was a tremendous win. The results they achieved were completely transformative. They fixed all the issues and gave it a stain and finish that are exactly what we described. For the price, their level of professionalism and the quality of the result are above and beyond.
after getting the estimate from David we decided that he was a good candidate for our project ,David was very professional and new all the types of flooring we were looking for ,showed us samples and colors,we just felt comfortable to go with him so if we had a question there was always a professionalism in his answers.he was very patient with us and are very happy we chose him for the job.
