MOORE HARDWOOD FLOORS

unknown

This is the second project Mr. Bill Moore has done for Denise and me.  We did not even consider alternate installers!!!
The select white oak flooring procured from Hardwood Specialities, off of Old Frankfort Pike, was well beyond expectations -- highly figured and close grained. (I use H/S for cherry and veneered plywood materials for cabinets.)
Mr. Moore listens carefully to requirement and is very informative assisting us is making our choices. Work was on-time. Installation crew was professional and carefully listened to my wife.  Finish work was EXCELLENT and my wife is very pleased.
Crew left a very clean home at the end of each shift.  NO DUST!!!  NO MUSS!!! NO CONCERNS!!!
Please ask Mr. Moore to see the floors in our new home!

Nathan and Charlie showed up on time and got to work immediately.  We chose to do "sand-on-site".  This creates a big mess but the crew kept everything clean and did their best to keep the unavoidable dust down.   When faced with a difficult angle or tough cut ...the guys took extra time to make sure it was done correctly.  I was impressed by the fact they would actually redo an area if they didn't like to outcome.   
They finished on time and on budget.  In fact, they did a couple of extra's.

We really do like the finished product but had some bumps in the road getting there.  Bill worked very hard with us to determine the exact color that we wanted, and he was great with that. The main issues we had was the workers made some fairly big mistakes from painting the quarter round the entirely wrong color in the den to breaking the stair banister in half when they attempted to put the spindles back in - they apparently tried to force the spindles to go in which caused the banister to break.  It took about 2 months for them to finally come back and fix that, and we had to make several phone calls in order to get this done. Because of these problems, I rated them as a C for quality, responsiveness and punctuality.  Am still waiting on them to come back and do some more work on the quarter rounds.  I believe we would use them in the future but not entirely certain.

Our kitchen has a badly uneven floor (inverted V).   Bill Moore visited prior to my removal of the existing tile floor to discuss the options available. He provided vendors for reclaimed flooring that would come close to existing 75 year old flooring.
He is prompt, polite and is a very nice guy.  Submitted a detailed estimate of 3 options before he left.
Bill revisited again after I removed the old floor to ascertain the options discussed were still practical.
The crew arrived on time and did a great job. Were patient with my many requests, They did a great job dealing with a very messed up floor surface when installing reclaimed floor.
Even though the job took a lot longer than expected, the price was not changed.
I highly recommend them.

It went very well.  Bill is very professional and easy to work with. Very pleasant personality. His workers did an extremely good job. The threshold presented a problem because of the inconsistencies with the age of the house. They put in a new one that looks beautiful as does the entire downstairs wood flooring.  Feels like a new home with the same old home charm

Quality experience all around. This is a family-run business that you can trust to meet your expectations.

Bill Moore was great to work with. His crew was pleasant and on time. The floor looks brand new but it's a 50 year old house.

They were great!

One of two companies that we researched on AL for refinishing our hardwood floors, although there wasn't much in terms of results in the Lexington area.  Bill (owner) came personally for the estimate and gave us a good price quote so we decided to go with him.  Refinishing the floors was a 3-day process and the company did a good job while they were present on the job site.  The first day they arrived on time and sanded everything and applied the first coat of poly.  The next day they were pretty late due to other jobs in the area.  The last day they said they were going to be there at 10:30am and didn't show until close to 5pm.  All in all, they did a good job, I'm pleased with the work and result.  Some timing issues.

They are a good company.

They are very knowledgeable. The owner came out and gave a great estimate. He has a lot of personable involvement in the process. They have great workers and really good products. They are priced well too! They are extremely reliable.

The floors are just okay and I would be happy with them if I had completed the work knowing that I wasn't a professional.  Sometimes we can have unreasonable expectations when we don't know what's involved in project but I have refinished floors before.  Unfortunately, I have more complaints than compliments.

The Good:

• The price was very good

The Bad:

• Putty on my walls.
• Floors in closets were not puttied
• Person sanding the edges ground too deeply and the floor now slopes toward the wall
• Left one closet unscreened
• Left my toilet clogged with a combination of wooddust and feces--they turned off the water to the toilet
• Found cigarette butts in my yard and in an uncovered register in the house
• Had a good amount of polyurethane pushed in the air returns on the floor
• I'm not confident that three coats were applied
• Little attention to detail

I called the owner, who I liked when he came out for the estimate, and told him I had concerns about the unscreened closet, the missing putty on all of the closet floors, the clogged toilet and some missing closet bars (other things were not worth mentioning because they couldn't be fixed).

• He did send his crew back out to screen the closet and putty the closets
  • This was haphazardly done
• Oddly, he did not apologize for the toilet

Other thoughts:

• The work van had politically polarizing bumperstickers on it.  I generally find religous/political/nonbusiness related graphics and images on work vechicles tacky and unproffesional 

He was reasonably priced. I am satisfied with all aspects of services provided.

The experience was good.

• Issue present after initial sanding and refinished were corrected
• Crew was very experienced and happy to talk about what they were doing when I visited during the process
• The floors are excellent. 
• Very responsive both with the initial visit and then scheduling
• Listened to my wife and delivered to her expectations.

Research refinishers first before "using the yellow pages."  Get references.  My failure to do so almost ruined our 50 year old white oak floors.

Given the job at hand, they did an excellent job.  The contractor paid him, so I am unsure on the price.

This was the first time that I worked with them. They were willing to work me in as early as possible. They were very quick and thorough. Their price was very reasonable.
