I hired EMC Floors, Inc./Emanuel Tibu, to install wooden floor on first/second floor and stairs (floor and stair nose provided by customer) for $7150. The job was started on 3/21/16, Emanuel T. and his crew installed the second floor and stairs, they were not able to do the refinishing of the stairs, replace wood broken during the installation of the stairs, including the step-nose on foyer and because of it the riser, baseboard and base-shoe on the foyer (pictures available). They left on 3/23/16, to go to "two new big jobs" (as Emanuel expressed), with the plan of returning on 4/4/16 to continue and complete the job as per contract, they were paid $4000. On 3/23/16, p.m., I received an e-mail with invoice showing $4,000 payment and balance of $3,150, with a note that the wooden floor I had ordered was going to be picked up at Home Depot on 4/2/16 and, that the stair-nose was going to be ordered. By 4/3/16, I had emptied the first floor for floor installation on 4/4/16. On 4/3/16, before going to bed, I checked my e-mail and, had received an e-mail from EMC Floors, Inc., sent that p.m., with an invoice of $0 balance and a note stating that, because I was not happy with their services, they have decided "not to go forward with the second section" of the project. I immediately responded that it was not the case and that I expected them as scheduled. Emanuel, had not picked up the wooden floor at Home Depot on 4/2 as planned and, he did not showed up on 4/4/16 as planned. Emanuel did not respond to text message and e-mail sent on 4/4/16, did not respond to e-mail sent on 4/5 either. In the e-mails, I was giving him the chance to rectify his attitude and to complete the job. Emanuel T., responded to e-mail sent on 4/6/16, where legal action and a report to the BBB was mentioned. Emanuel T. was asked to refund me the $4,000 I paid him if he wanted to brake the contract and not to complete the job.
After I took them to court, they came back out and resolved the issue. I would hire them again.Emanuel Tibu, president of EMC Floors, Inc. responses: "Go ahead and go to the court", "You think I am stupid ... to give you money back. I am not so stupid ... do what're you want".
My floor is now uplifted after going to court to get him back out to do the first floor. I will give him the chance to come back and if not I will be going to court again. He said he wouldn't come back out to give me his opinion unless I gave him an A rating.We are happy with the work. Especially, Emanuel made a trip to help us when we told him we couldn't lift the new floor vents.
They took beds apart and removed drawers from dressers and moved everything extremely carefully. They reassembled the furniture and moved it back into the rooms at our convenience and wishes. We had two of the bedrooms painted while they were empty and EMC waited to move the furniture back after the rooms were completed. The last step was the staircase and landing. The arrived earlier than usual so that we would be able to use the bedrooms that night.
Recently, EMC returned to fix a couple of scratches that we made on the landing moving some furniture up from the basement. They did it at no charge and it looks perfect..
Emanuel and his crews were beyond professional in their work and attitude. They were helpful with every aspect of the job.
Prior to choosing a contractor, we got several bids from flooring companies and EMC Floors was by far the most fair price. Right away, Emanuel (owner) impressed us with his punctuality and quick response times. My husband and I both work, so Emanuel was willing to work around our schedules and meet when we were available. We got our estimate for services, which was thorough and straight-forward, within 24 hours. His price was very fair and was much more competitive than the other bids we received.
Emanuel has a staff of highly skilled, hard-working tradesmen. He and his team take a lot of pride in their work and it shows in all they do - they are punctual, they are detail-oriented, they use quality materials, they clean up after their work is done, and they are friendly and willing to answer all of your questions. Prior to installing our floors, Emanuel made sure the wood had time to acclimate and visited our house several times to measure the humidity and be sure the conditions were right for installation. Having spoken to friends and family who have had floors installed, I know not every contractor is this meticulous and that step is often skipped.
The installation went quickly - EMC is efficient and will work long hours to get the job done. We were nervous about choosing a stain color, so Emanuel and his team took the time to sand, stain, and buff 4 different stain colors in two areas in our house to be sure we could see large samples of each color in different lighting in our home.
Our floors are finished and we absolutely love them. Emanuel uses high quality materials and it shows in the final product. He offered a lot of advice on how to care for our floors to make sure they stay in prime condition. Our friends and family who have seen the floors compliment them constantly. We are so glad we found EMC Floors and have already recommended them to several people. I can't say enough about the quality of work and the professionalism EMC Floors displays.
