The only drawback with using American Made is that they are busy. In our case, they were booked the entire summer, which they told us when they provided the estimate in May. So, they held our deposit for some four months before beginning work on the job. This was expected, but for some people, it might be a concern. Jim Linskey responded promptly to our email messages when we had questions about scheduling.

The good news: The installation of our granite countertop was superior. The fabricators did an impeccable job; it was hard for me to find a seam anywhere until I realized that they had cut the stone in such a way that a single, small,almost invisible seam behind my kitchen faucet joined the two very large pieces. They also showed up on schedule,and worked quickly and efficiently to get the stone installed. It was truly an excellent experience. Before I write the bad news. I want to say that if this company is able to hire someone to coach their staff in the handling of customer service issues when customers run into problems with their products, it will be an A+ company. I don?t necessarily think they don?t want to help. I think they don?t have skills for trouble shooting with customers, and these skills can be learned by a staff willing to learn them.
Here is what I think they need to learn:
1. Listen to the customer. If there is a problem or a question that the customer is experiencing, he/she will probably appear to be concerned ? maybe even dissatisfied. Keep in mind that he/she is not coming to you to annoy or inconvenience you, but to get your help in solving a problem.
What to say: "I want you to do X, Y, and Z, and if that does not solve the problem, call us and we will schedule an appointment to come out and look at your job."
What not to say: " We install two or three of these countertops every week, and no one else has had this problem."
Also, if said customer reports that he/she has already used X, Y, and Z to try to solve the problem without resolution, don?t say: "We have customers who use X, Y, and Z all the time to solve this problem, and it always works for them."
2. Keep promises. If you say you are going to call or come to the customer?s house by Friday, do what you say your are going to do by Friday.
3. Show up on time. If you get tied up on a job, call the customer to let him/her know. If you forget to call:
What to say: "My apologies for arriving almost 2 hours after the time we scheduled. I know your time is valuable. I should have called you. I?m sorry."
What not to say (especially with incredulity): "Why are you getting upset? I couldn?t get here earlier. I was on another job!"
4. Say what is true.
What to say if the customer asks if the particular granite in which he/she is interested is sturdy: "The product is sturdy in this way (X,Y ,Z) but it can be vulnerable in this way (X.Y, Z.)""
What not to say: "This is indestructible" (especially since the product can be googled by a customer who is somewhat wiser than I was.)
What to say if the customer is concerned that the spray product you are recommending to treat the kitchen countertop might be toxic: Consider his/her concerns with an open mind, and reply "Can you explain your concern about toxicity to me? We want to make sure you are satisfied with our product."
What not to say: "It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration" (especially if the label on the spray can reads ?WARNING: Harmful or fatal if swallowed.?)
5. Above all else, be civil. Do not raise your voice and speak over the customer, especially in your showroom.

"Working with John and his team was an absolute pleasure. I truly can't speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication. Kim’s communication about John and the rest of the team was also outstanding—clear, timely, and helpful throughout. John stood out for his flexibility and responsiveness, always ready to answer questions or consider suggestions. Fortunately, our project only encountered a few minor curveballs, all of which were handled smoothly and confidently. What impressed me most was John’s pride in his work. One day, he noticed a small detail that most wouldn’t have caught—but it bothered him enough to rebuild it until it was perfect. That kind of care and commitment is exactly what you want in someone working on your home."

"Lou Toppia was just the expert I needed. Not only was I expecting him to refinish my hardwood floors, I was asking him to come in and work miracles to repair the damage done by another contractor who had a damaged machine created wavy distortions to my floors. Lou made them look beautiful again! He was very honest about what he could and could not make perfect and his work always exceeded my expectations. Lou was careful to keep his work area very clean, cleaned up after himself daily and protected my other living areas by sheeting off the rooms he was refinishing. The final finish is so beautiful, with four coats of satin urethane, I think they look better than the factory finish. I would highly recommend Lou to anyone in need of hardwood flooring installation or refinishing."

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
