"Went great! Bill came in and got the job done in less than 2 hours. He gave me a 30 minute window to get to my house prior to his arrival (I like that because I wasn't given a window of time) They were in and out and cleaned up any drips they left on my floor. "
"My overall rating above is a 'B', but only because the scale does not have minuses or pluses. The rating I would give New Surface Technology, is a B- or maybe even a C+. After he left I inspected the tub and bathroom more closely. There were a few areas where the paint had run, just as Charles had said there might be. The tub's finish had an 'orange peel' texture and dull shine on most of it. But about a forth of it did have a smooth shiny, glossy look that I thought it should have after being refinished. The floor had several small drops of paint on it and the floor, sink (that was a couple of feet away from the tub) and a vanity had white overspray (mist) on them from spraying on the paint. I had to clean this up before it dried completely. Maybe Charles would have done this, but it was getting late and I know he was tired. I'm not sure about that. But I was tired too and I thought he should have covered more of the surrounding area before spraying the paint. So, I think he should have been more careful. The other thing is, he said it was taking a long time for the primer and paint to dry. I think he didn't let it dry long enough, was rushing, because of the amount of time it was taking. So, the end result was not a smooth, glossy, shiny new looking tub, as it was described that it would be. It does look better, just not as good as I hoped or that New Surface Technology described it would look. I called Charles back the next day and informed him of the drips. We scheduled a time for him to come back at 3:00 a few days later. On that day I waited until 3:30, and he had not shown up. I called and he had got held over on another job and lost track of the time. It was going to take him two hours to get there, so we rescheduled. When he came back I pointed out the areas wher the paint had run and the 'orange peel' texture of the paint. He worked on this for about an hour or so and left. When he left I inspected the tub and there were some new drips in the paint. I called him later and we scheduled another time for him to come out. When he came out for the third time, I pointed out the new drips and one of the old ones that he didn't sand out completely. He said he could make this right. I mentioned the texture on most of the tub, that it was kind of rough and slighly bumpy (orange peel) and he said he didn't think he could do anything about that. He fix the drips mostly, although you can still see some because they were not sanded out completely, but they are not too bad. So, my overall opinion is, that New Surface Technology does an ok job for the price, as long a you don't expect it to look like new. Basically, my tub looks ok, better than it was, but it deffinately looks like someone refinished it, not like new tub. "
"I was in need of laminated flooring for three bedrooms, he not only did an outstanding job in a day and a half. He took up the carpet and move furniture and all three. He also fixed the flooring in my hallway, that was water damaged at no extra charge! His prices are reasonable. I definitely recommend his work to anyone who is looking for repairs or remodeling."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it’s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear.
The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers.
Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation—these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it’s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.
Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.
However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.
Most DIYers can learn how to remove carpet although it’s time and labor-intensive. However, if you have glued-down carpet and are concerned about damaging the substrate below, it's best to call a professional carpet remover. Also, removing glue-down carpet is more work than dealing with wall-to-wall carpet because you have to get rid of all traces of the adhesive from your subfloor to prepare it for a new installation.
