The GOOD THINGS
1. They were on time.
2. They completed all the work requested.
3. They left things VERY CLEAN (I was impressed by that).
4. There was nothing else moved or disturbed in the house, so my faith in their integrity and honesty was correct.
The NOT SO GOOD THINGS
1. When I got the bill, it was for $940 - in other words, for the full $1500 total. I asked about this (i.e., effectively not getting my Angie's List discount). He said that the discount was already included - that his 'extra' work was really about $1000 worth, especially because of using the water based finish. I didn't like that explanation, but didn't argue it.
2. The floor color was not the same as my original. It came out several shades darker. It was not bad looking, but just not what I expected it to be, and it certainly did not match the area that I requested.
3. There were a few places where crack filler was applied in small gaps where board shrinkage over time had left opening of pehraps half-millimeter or so. Apparently, the final surface coats caused the crack filler to expand, because in several places it had 'oozed' upward slightly so it was NOT flush with the floorboard.
4. Though I am not an expert, it appeared to me that the coats of the surfacing material may have been applied one over the other without waiting sufficient drying time. There are what appears to me to be some small areas where the finish coating is not even. And the final surface is not as 'vibrant' looking as I hoped it would be. Though it is nicely clear, it is relatively flat, and has no sheen like I expected.
The FINAL ANALYSIS
You get what you pay for. This was a relatively inexpensive job (even though I did end up paying more than I expected). And while I believe Mike is an honest businessman and his work is acceptable, I am generally accustomed to true high-quality workmanship. This was not of that caliber. Had I been at home while the work was occurring, I may have been in a better position to intervene and get the floor color and/or crack filling satisfaction I expected.
"The deal is up to 400 sq feet natural and two coat of paly , kitchen extra,covering with plastic is extra ,this job was complit diferent job( white stain which require bleach and three coat of water base finish ) my original price for this job was $ 2000 . I gave him the best price for this job ,and I told him to take his money back if he do not want to do the job .The stain color, I apply all white stain color and I applyed the best one to match old color ; I give everybody estimate befor we sign the contract and everybody can take all the money back with no charge if they do not have what the DEAL is . Thank you for business"
Mike's crew really worked hard to complete the job. I was amazed how they were able to seamlessly join the new and old wood floors together. After they sanded the floors they applied three coats of polyurethane. You can's tell which was the old floor and which is the new. Mike's crew did a great job cleaning up after the sanding and after the work was completed. They moved all of the furniture back in. Don't misunderstand my comments, even though they did a great job cleaning up, you will still have some cleaning to do, but they did a great job to minimize it.
I stopped in as time allowed to check on the work and see if anyone needed anything. Mike was always available by phone if I had any questions. For any hardwood flooring work, I would certainly use Mike's Hardwood Flooring again.
I will recommend Mike's Hardwood Flooring to anyone I know who is looking for Excellent Customer Service, a Professional crew, and an Exceptional Pricing!
Mike stopped by before work was complete to inspect the work, and I'm happy with the floors. The floors no longer make any noise as I walk on them.
Mike's quote was a bit higher than others I got from Angie's List, but he only had one number. Everyone else tried to add hidden fees for dumpsters and other things that would actually make their costs higher than Mike.
When I redo the front part of my house, I'm going to call Mike again.
hardwood floors. They look so beautiful and it was all because of Mike
and his skilled team. Mike is a no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is kind of
guy who takes his business seriously. We asked him to quote on
refinishing our first and second floor hardwood floors in our new home
prior to our moving in. The condition of the first floor wood was in
pretty bad shape and we knew it. He suggested just replacing it
(especially since we are planning to add an addition, it would?ve been
easier to match and we would be much happier with the end result). We
ended up spending about 20% over our original budget to replace the
floors, but for brand new floors, it was well worth every penny. Mike
quoted us a price and stuck with it; he even offered to buff and add a
coat of finish to our hardwood stairs at no extra cost; which we were
just planning on ignoring. His team worked quickly on the floor install
itself and poly coating. He even offered to come back and put on the
3rd coat of poly after our painters had been through, so that everything
was nice, new and fresh.
We had a few hiccups at the end of
the project with tying up some loose ends; we needed them to come back
and collect some remaining debris as well as cut some holes for HVAC
venting. That took a couple extra days and a few extra phone calls, but
eventually all work was completed. They even took away some extra
drywall debris for us that they did not create. We would definitely
recommend Mike?s Hardwood Flooring to anyone looking to beautify their
wood floors.
Our floors looked and felt really bad before Mike's service fixed it. We hired some other folks previously to sand and gloss our floor and they really made a horrible mess. With Mike's service it looks amazing. I would whole heartedly recommend them for any flooring work.
Milke came out ans showed me samples. Then i went to his showroom to look several times.
Work started on time. Bathroom and then laminate.
No problems whatsoever. All went smoothly.
the job. Friendly and professional, everything as promised, minimal
mess, and our floors look fabulous!
He and I both made sure to take "before" photos, and I took some during and after photos as well.
Although I was able to clear out the room, the two workmen who came out helped me with the treadmill. They took one day to sand and put down the first coat of varnish, and they came back a second day to do the second coat. Later the next week, they came by to check on it, and helped bring my treadmill back in. I think they were afraid I would scratch my beautiful floor if I tried to move the treadmill myself!
