"Mike is the nephew of the prior owner and his Uncle was more skilled Mike's work was good but not great. In bath he estimated to replace a cracked floor tile and re-glue 3-4 others. When I heard the racket and came up to see he had pulled up about 25 tiles. When questioned why he said when taking up others those came up too I explained that he should have informed me at to the new extent of the work so I could approve as the cost would increase. He also broke 2 more tiles in removing them. Luckily I had about 10 extras In the end I agreed to $750 vs the original quote of $635 After he'd gone and I had a chance to fully inspect the tiles some were improperly lined up but not substantially. His re-caulking was overall good but not perfect. His Uncle, the former Mr Grout was awesome and his work was perfect and I was impressed when he finished A nice man and timely and I might use him again"

hello i am john and i am the owner of the company i want to tell you that am the guy that does the work , so no subcontracting ( i am not going to take your money and send some one else in to your home to do the work). Short version , i will treat your house like i would treat my own , that will include in some situations i will advise you to go with a different suggestion than the one you have in mind , if that will improve the quality of the project. From my experience every option needs to be explained to the customer in detail , in order to reach the best possible outcome that will accommodate your budget and the structural design of the project . Some times because of the nature of existing structure in the house ( like sub floor material , room size , light intensity etc , or if is an apt were the condominium association has their own set of rules in regards with what kind of work can be done in the unit ) we may have to work a lot with the customers in order to find the perfect solution that will bring the desired look . So communication and trust are needed to achieve the end goal..
"We initially had Ioan (John) refinish hardwood floors in our 1960's ranch. He was creative in finding a solution for a transition between the wood floor and tile floor. Fast-forward 6 years, and our "scary" basement stairs demanded a re-do. They were covered in ceramic tile, cracked often, and were narrow, dangerous and slippery. I called Ioan on a Tuesday, he inspected the stairs on Thursday, and by Monday, demolition began. He worked diligently for 2.5 days, and the finished product is beautiful! Ioan was even able to give us a wider tread for safety. We should have done the stairs 6 years ago, when he first suggested it! Ioan is skilled, professional, and mindful of the mess. There was very little for me to clean-up once the job was done. Highly recommend his craftsmanship!!"

FAQs for buffing and polishing projects in Elwood, IL
Most homeowners can expect to pay between $1.00 and $2.50 per square foot to hire a professional to buff and polish hardwood floors. Adding additional coats of polish will cost an extra $0.50 to $1.75 per square foot. Keep in mind that buffing and polishing expenses are more cost-effective than refinishing hardwood floors, ranging from $1.50 to $7 per square foot.
Consider these recommendations for upgrading your flooring: Buffing is recommended for flooring with minor scratches and scuffs that can be filled, creating a new-looking shine.
Refinishing your floors includes removing the top layer of wood floors, exposing new wood to stain, finish, or wax. This method is best when you have deeper scratches that cannot simply be filled.
Replacing your flooring is best when it's been sanded and refinished numerous times, when unpleasant odors are coming from the floor, or when it has excessive wear and tear.
You should hire a flooring professional polish hardwood floors once per year. This annual schedule will help keep any surface scratches from getting more profound and restore a shine to your floor. However, if you have a high-trafficked home with excess dirt and debris, you might consider twice-yearly polishing to help it stay fresh. In between professional cleanings, stay on top of weekly floor cleanings and scratch-resolving to maintain the floor’s integrity.
You can buff your floors yourself if you have plenty of time, patience, and know-how. This intermediate-level DIY project requires either buying or renting a floor buffer and purchasing a buffing solution. This process can be time-consuming and, if not done correctly, can leave burn-like marks on your floor.
To ensure this job is done correctly without damaging your floors, consider hiring a professional floor buffer and polisher instead. You might save money on labor costs by DIYing this project, but you could spend more on repairs if not done correctly.
Both buffing and polishing increase the longevity of your floors by removing scratches and buildup, but they are different processes. Polishing removes the top layer of your floor, removing surface-level scuffs and scratches. Buffing your floor involves filling the scratches and scuffs with a buffing solution. No matter which method you choose, you can rest assured that both techniques will leave your floor looking shiny and new.
