Did not live up to quoted price. In fact billed $4,000 over quote after verbally telling us we could save $2,000 by clear coating.

Loved the workmanship.... do not like the quality of the wood floors. I made the mistake of going with what Makin recommended for the brand of wood. I should have stuck with Bruce flooring. I question the quality of the finish on this Viking flooring. Scratches very easily, I picked the Brazilian Cherry for it's hardness.

Right from the start, I had a good feeling about the company and Chris Makin personally. He was thorough, patient with all my questions, treated me respectfully and offered options based on any cost concerns I had. Due diligence on my part caused a bit of delay while I got another estimate (competitive on cost, but not as professional). Once the contract was signed and deposit paid, the job was completed on time, very clean (no mess anywhere) and high quality (perfect joints on the planks and trim). What a real pleasure to have it done so well, without any sleepless nights!
Description of Work: Makin Flooring replaced an old linoleum kitchen floor including repair to subfloor and installation of 1/4" underlayment. The flooring material (chosen & provided by the customer) was solid vinyl planking that clicked together (floating floor). Makin also removed and replaced the baseboard trim and trim at the entryways.

They were on time, worked very quickly, did work/things that were not expected. Chris Makin knows how to install flooring the way it should be done. I choose this company because of the description of the work they were going to do. Other contractors that I interviewed wanted to take shortcuts. After the job was finished I looked at the Quotes I had received. Chris Makin's was the lowest.
