European Hardwood Floors

They did a very good job and an excellent service.

Great! Totally professional. Will hire again.

Bojan did a very professional job and delivered it on time. As we were living in the house when we got the floors refinished, we decided to have him finish the job while we were out for a week long vacation. He treated the home with respect, cleaned up everything and we came home from our vacation to beautiful refinished floors. We will use him again in the future without any concerns.

European Hardwood Floors must be the best kept secret on Angie's List.  How they only have 8 reviews I do not know, because they are BY FAR the best folks I've found and worked with from this website and everyone should be using them!  They are extremely competitive when it comes to pricing, but sacrifice nothing in the quality of work they perform.  I've rated them an "A" in every category and here's why:

Pricing - the price quoted to us by EHF (European Hardwood Floors) was approximately $500 less than any other quote we received. This alone would be great, but when the job took longer due to unforeseen circumstances (our old house is pretty cold and damp and the floors took forever to dry) they stuck to their original quote.  They didn't charge us more even though the job took longer than anticipated, and they did all the work promised (and then some) for the exact amount they quoted. 

Quality - a picture tells a thousand words, but since I can't post a picture, I will do my best to describe what an AMAZING job they did on our floor.  We had two types of flooring to be dealt with - oak in the living and dining room, and Doug-fir in the bedrooms and hallway.  During renovations, we removed walls, under which we found large areas of hardwood that had been cut out from the floor in the living and dining rooms, plus a ton of other areas that had been drilled into in order to run electrical from the basement to the main floor.  EHF patched the areas that had been removed and matched the original floors so well that you truly cannot tell which portions of the floor are original and which were patched.  Additionally, rather than just putting plugs (round pegs) in the holes from the electrical, they completely replaced all damaged planks - really going above and beyond and making things look beautiful.  The Douglas-fir floors in the bedrooms and hallways were in equally bad shape shape - covered in paint in some areas, and covered with many layers of linoleum glue (we did our best to scrape most of it off, but we really couldn't get everything) in others.  These floors now look absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  They are my favorite floors in the house - they took the color so well, and EHF were able to remove all the paint and glue giving them a perfectly smooth finish.

Responsiveness - I never felt out of the loop about what was happening at our home, thanks to Boyan (our primary contact at EHF) who was constantly reaching out to us to provide updates on the house.  If I had any questions, which I often did because this is our first time dealing with hardwood floors, a simple text to Boyan would garner a response usually in less than an hour!!  He also made himself available by email, and I could reach him via a call too.  EHF provided me with a lot of detail before hand as well.  They were very clear and specific about what the job would entail, and Boyan answered approximately 500 of my questions during the original walk-through happily and with expertise. I also liked that he sent the quote the same day as he came to look at our house.  Very communicative and quick to provide information!

Punctuality - On time every day, at our house every time they said they would be there.  If anything did change, we were notified well in advance.  As I mentioned above, the floors took longer to dry than anticipated thanks to our drafty old house, and even then we were well informed about when they would be back, how long it would it would take given the temperature of the house.

Professionalism - This category is really what sets EHF apart from all others in my mind.  They are simply a JOY to work with.  Boyan and his father own the company, and they are the ones who are at your house doing the work, which is great in and of itself.  The fact that they are just about the nicest guys ever (and funny to boot) is an unexpected and added bonus to working with them.  All of the employees that accompanied them were equally as kind, friendly, communicative and hardworking - people you want to have in your home.  Everything was explained extremely well by Boyan up front - there were no surprises the entire time, nothing he "missed" during the initial walk through that ended up costing us more in the end, and he provided great suggestions and advice was also received with regard to color choices and future care of the floors.  They know what they are doing, they are experts, and it shows in everything they do.

If you're still not sold, consider this:  the home across the street from ours was sold about 2 months after we bought our house & the owners happened to be checking on renovations at their house when EHF were working at our house.  These new owners came over to check out the floors at our house, and were so impressed that they hired EHF ON THE SPOT  to do the floors in their home.

Again, I cannot recommend EHF highly enough.  They are amazing to work with, and your floors will be more beautiful than you ever thought possible when they are through!  Don't look any further - trust me, you want these people to work on your home!

Went very well.  there was a delay at first as the wood first delivered was the wrong type.  Bojan took care of this the same day
Bojan and his father did an awesome job.  They were able to provide some guidance on layout and was able to match the existing floor stain color very well.
My wife and mother-in-law love the new floor.

This is a great family owned company. These guys are very professional, honest, and get the job done fast with quality work. They provided a great price and even moved our furniture out before the job and back in after the job was done. My wife and I are very satisfied with their work and plan on working with them again on another project we have planned.

It went very well it is a son and father team. The son runs the business. They were punctual and worked straight thru to the finish which took 7 days because of the floor installations, sanding, staining and I decided on an oil finish instead of water which added a few days to the project. The detail work is excellent and I would recommend them. I received three quotes for my job, all from highly rated Angies List companies. The quotes came in at three very different dollar amounts. I decided to use this team because they were local and the quote was reasonable, it was the lowest bid. In reading other reviews on Angies List about this team, people had concerns about the lower quote but the work was top notch and they were pleased, so I used them and the work is excellent.

Bojan and his dad were a very friendly, professional team to work with. Their quote was significantly lower than the other two I received, so I was a little nervous that I might get second-rate quality, but that was not the case. They performed the work while we were out of town for a few days, and it looked great when we returned home. The water based finish had almost no odor and feels great on bare feet. I highly recommend European Hardwood Floors.

Boyan and his father were hired as a referral from the company that sold us our floors. They did an excellent job on the floor installation, were fair on their price, completed the work on schedule, and cleaned up well.
After removing the existing carpet and pad, they were concerned that the sub-floor needed to dry out, so they let the sub-floor dry overnight. Although it took a couple of days longer than expected I was happy that they did not rush through the work.

They were super communicative. Gave us a discount for agreeing to start a little later :). They really seemed to care about our concerns. It is a father and son team and they do the work themselves. They really know their business. They started on Friday and were done Monday afternoon. So we were able to walk on our floors after four days! what's more is that they could only do one half at a time because of furniture so they could have completed it sooner had be moved all the furniture. Hint a Uhaul would have been a good idea :).
The floors were tricky (try getting black our of bevels some time) but they did a great job and addressed our concerns...water stains etc. I would recommend walking through with them before and during to inspect the floors and address any issues that you might have. What's great about them is that they want to keep you happy. They even added extra coats in the kitchen and hallways. They told us how to care for the floors and even what products to use.
I'd hire them again in a heartbeat!
They were super nice the father's a doll and the son is very friendly and they really take pride in their work which is rare. The father especially really seems to care and love the wood. He's an old-fashioned craftsman who takes pride in his work and the son is modern, current and good at customer service so you get the best of both worlds. Speak up, they'll listen!
When it comes to floors always hire people who do their own work. Other people hire cheap labor and the result is no different than if you were to go to home depot and hire the first people you see without supervising them (learned that the hard way with painting).

He did an excellent job and was very professional. He was referred to us by our realtor. He was especially friendly and offered us a wide variety of stains to choose from. He also gave a lot of space and time to figure out which stain would best suit our decor, which we really appreciated. He got everything done before we moved in as requested. Some water damage appeared after it was refinished. He explained how this can naturally occur after refinishing and replaced all the affected floorboards with new wood for a very minimal cost.
