Get matched with top floor sanding pros in Abingdon, MD

"Working with James was professional and easy. He provided me with written proposal in timely manner. This was a custom project that we reviewed and made adjustments to make sure I received the flooring types that worked best for my company. I would recommend James owner of JZ Construction for your project needs."

"Professional, best floor work as far as we’ve seen. We would hire them again. We would recommend BR Flooring. The price was reasonable and Marcos was always available."

"This company is fantastic. They take pride in their work and truly understand what customer satisfaction means. We hired them back in Feb 2013 to both install wood flooring on our second level and assess the need to replace the wood floors on 1st Level. Wesley and Marcos are truly honest people. They advised us not to spend the money for a new install on the first floor at this time as the wear on the floor was uneven and the heavy areas would be fine with a refinish. We are glad we hired them to both jobs. The work was timely with minimal disruption to the family and the clean up was excellent. We hope they stay in business as we will hire them for all our flooring jobs!"

"The floors came out beautiful; however, 1. Never got house key back 2. Taping of protective plastic sheeting pulled off some paint 3. When I sent a text regarding the key and the paint, never had the courtesy to return my text."

"Neat and clean work refinish my floor in 3 days and it looks like we just install the new floor will hire them again in future."

"It was amazing! Let me say right off the bat that Ken from Floor Gem was great. We had some water damage and needed to get the floor replaced before Thanksgiving. We had a little mix-up on the installation date and time but Ken was fantastic and with incredibly short notice he was able to arrange a team to perform our install. They did an amazing job! We couldn't be happier!"

"He was prompt, efficient, and able to do fine custom woodworking repairs on steps and floors that needed. He also left the house in pristine condition."

"Based on a ton of outstanding remarks on Angie's List, I initially called Tony's Touch to get most of the interior to our house painted. While he was reviewing the house to provide an estimate Anthony (the owner of Tony's Touch) noticed that our oak railings were in fairly poor shape and suggested individually sanding all of the railings and then using a tinted polyurethane to give it some glare and a longer life. During out conversation Tony indicated that his company also does all types of flooring. Since we have been dreaming of hardwood floors on the main level of our house for years, I thought it would be worthwhile to get a quote for this work as well. So, after reviewing five bids to do the work, we selected Tony's Touch to do all three jobs.















Anthony is a very enterprising young man and has put together an outstanding business. He staff a large staff of craftsmen. Anthony is quite knowledgeable on all aspects of this work. Finally, Anthony does a great job of negotiating prices on all materials and passes all of the savings to the customer. For instance, on the floor installation project he was able to find significant savings for myself and other clients by pooling together the same wood in a single order to obtain a very good price. Little things like that save clients significant money.















The most important to know about Anthony is that he wants to ensure all of his jobs get done at the highest quality level possible. He communicates with the clients extremely well. If there is a problem he typically has a recommend solution or two.















I am going to break my reviews up into three different sections: painting, refinishing the rails, and flooring. Each aspect had a separate purpose and were done at different times throughout the renovation process.















Painting







We received five estimates from painters with strong ratings on Angie's List and found that one was ultra high, two were in the middle and two were in the low end. Anthony provided the next to lowest quote, and although he was not the lowest, after meeting with him I felt like he was going to provide excellent work, and he was interested in working with me to ensure I was prepared to make all of the right decisions in a timely manner so that I would be happy with the final project. We had not yet determined all of the house colors, so he provided an excellent designer (from Will's Decorating) to meet us at the house and provide us with assistance on the color selection.















Once all of the colors were selected Anthony was very quick to select dates for the painting work that revolved around our schedule and our desire to be there whenever work was being done.















His crew was extremely polite and I thought they were quite trustworthy and excellent at their craft. They were experienced professionals. I have overseen several renovation activities over the last 30 years and I fully believe that his crews were the hardest working, most time efficient, and effective workers I have ever seen. They were always on task and worked as hard as possible. Just because they were hardworking and moved fairly quickly, there was no skimping on quality. Anthony is quite committed to quality and prefers to lengthen the schedule by a day of so if the job needs more time to maintain his high quality standard.















Tony was very flexible when it came time to select which paint brand and line were to be used in the house. We selected Benjamin Moore's Aura line, which is very expensive, but not as bad after he was able to get a contractor discount on it.















Back to the job: The crew started with prepping all of the paint surfaces and protecting all of the materials in the vicinity of where they were working. Prepping included extensive sanding all of the walls to ensure the pores were open so that the paint could better adhere to the surface. They also waited the prescribed amount of time between the first and second coat of the paint. Many painters put a second coat right over first coat without allowing the first coat to dry, and then takes credit for applying two codes of paint. Anthony's crew, however, allowed for the paint to dry by following the manufacturer's recommendation before attempting to put on a second coat.















The overall results were absolutely fantastic. As with any large painting project, there was a small punch list of tiny problems. I didn't even have to to go over the concerns with them--they saw the list on yhe table, as well stickies we applied to the walls to show where there was an issue, and they immediately made all of the corrections with no questions asked.















If you are thinking about hiring them for painting services I strongly recommend them. Some of the little things, like Tony bringing in an interior designer/paint consultant, at no charge, helped to guarantee we would be happy with the final results.















Finally, Anthony was a dream to work with on this aspect of the job. All promised dates were hit. He constantly checked in to make sure we were still happy with everything throughout the process. He periodically popped in to oversee his crew and to check out the work. And, he takes great effort to make sure we are happy with everything on an almost daily basis.















Resurfacing railings on the main floor and second floor







We have oak rails along the steps, between the kitchen and the FR, and the 2nd floor halls overlooking the FR and Foyer. These railings were quite faded and had absolutely no sheen.















I have had contractors in the past recommend just throwing a coat of polyurethane on top of the existing wood to bring the wood back to life. However.







that approach is a lazy approach to do the work and will result is a poor quality result. Anthony was the only contractor who proposed to do the work correctly--he would only do the job if they sanded, by hand, all of the railing before each coat in order to open up the pores in the wood so that stain and polyurethane would properly soak in the wood. He also suggested using a polyurethanes that was tinted with the stain color. He recommend two coats, and in between coats the railings were lightly sanded again, to ensure the product would properly adhere to the wood. The final results were outstanding.

"Love the new floors. They have held up well"

"Tom and his crew did an outstanding job on a short time schedule around the Christmas holiday period. Second time we have used Dependable Carpeting and both experiences were exceptional. Tom is response to emails and really goes the extra mile to meet the customer's needs. He completed this project on time as he committed despite family illness. Great job and highly recommend. In both projects he replaced all carpeting in a large third and fourth floor walk up condo."
