Carl and his crew refinished our current oak floor and laid new oak flooring in our entryway after tearing up the old tile. Both the refinish and the new flooring that was installed was top-notch. Carl completed it on time and the cost was reasonable. I would hire Carl again!

Carl's Wood Flooring did a fantastic job. They sanded for 2 days to make sure the floor was perfect. Then 1 coat of stain and 3 coats of polyurethane.

Carl was wonderful to work with. He had excellent communication and his team was incredibly fast and professional. One of the best things about working with Carl’s Wood Flooring was his UV curing system. The UV curing really sped up the process and the floor was ready for us to put furniture back as soon as the crew left. The team started Monday morning and we had our furniture back in place by Friday evening. We will definitely work with this company again.

They arrived when they said they would. Covered everything to minimize dust, and overall did a beautiful job. Can't say enough good things.

Horrible workmanship. I had a toilet that leaked and he was to refinish the wood floors and remove and replace the sub floor in the bathroom. He did replace the subfloor but with the wrong size thickness. The bathroom is at a significant slope because of that. Also, he did not put back the trim, didn't refinish the floor vent and did not finish a piece of trim in the kitchen that was all part of the bid. Different parts of the floor were not sanded proberly and you can see scratches that were not smoothed out. He didn't do the job correctly, didn't finish it and clearly didn't care. He does NOT take pride in his workmanship. I hate writing reviews like this but I work too hard for my money to throw it away. He did a terrible job and I now have another company coming out to do it correctly.
Response from Carl's Wood Flooring, LLC

"I am actually really taken aback by this review! Yes, we did do this ladies floor and there were a couple of issues with her trim and closet door that I addressed right away. Then she had an issue with her movers putting long scratches on her floor that we agreed to fix for her next time she went away to her cabin with her cats. Also at that time, we were going to do another coat on her vents cause they were a little rough to the touch. I have not heard from her since and have tried to reach out to her with no response. As far as the slope (which is not so significant in my opinion) goes in her bathroom that was due to the fact she could no longer find the pre-finished product that was originally used so we had to use a whole different product from a different mill and feather it in the best we could in the small area that it was in. And she was fully aware of all of this and it had nothing to do with her subfloor. As far as the other comments this lady made they really make me scratch my head because I thought this lady was very nice and that we were all good with everything. I obviously was wrong about all that!"

Carl is very responsive, knowledgeable and great to work with. His crew was top notch and courteous. I had stopped by the house to move some things to the end of the driveway when one of the crew noticed I was struggling and lent me a hand. Certainly not expected but really appreciated it as it was a sub-zero day! A demonstration of their willingness to go above and beyond. The floors look fantastic and were completed on time and at the quoted price. I found Carlâ s wood floor prices to be very competitive I would not hesitate to recommend and in fact have recommended them to friends.

When we began remodeling (almost 2 years ago) Carl refinished half of our hardwood floors, provided an estimate and we had the understanding that he would finish the job when we were done remodeling. Carl returned on May 21 to update the estimate and we were scheduled for June 25. Two days prior (on June 23), Carl called and stated he had to reschedule us for August. I said **Absolutely not, the rooms have been emptied**. He said he would work on his schedule and call back. The next day, he called and rescheduled us for the following week on July 2. I then had to reschedule another contractor who was coming on that day. On July 2 no one had called or shown up by 10:30 am, so I called Carl and left a message asking for a return call on when to expect his crew. Then the mailman came. He delivered a check for the job deposit and a letter from Carl dated June 26 that read **Due to the comments that were made during our last phone conversation, I have decided to kindly part ways from us doing business together. I honestly do not feel comfortable doing your job any longer.** He never did return my call or speak to me about any issues, by the date of the letter he just planned on not showing up without letting me know. I would never recommend thee due to a poor business practice that lacks responsibility and trustworthiness.
Response from Carl's Wood Flooring, LLC

"We were scheduled to do their floors on a Thursday and due to some unforeseen events, I called her on Monday to let her know that we were not going to be able to make it and I had to reschedule. She then got very rude with me saying that I should be held responsible for her couch if it smells like gas cause they stored it in her garage. I had told her no I would not take that responsibility. The conversation wasn't pleasant at all. I did rearrange my schedule to fit them in for the prior week. But after thinking about our conversation I felt it was best not to even do business with them any longer and returned their deposit. Unfortunately, it did take the mail way longer than expected. After she had received my letter she called and left some very rude nasty comments. Which actually made me feel that I definitely made the right choice by walking away."

I personally don’t write a review and I also never have Carl works on my floor. The reason I wrote this because I was new to this app and was in the wrong section. I was supposed to be under the installed not the refinished ;) Carl called me right away and make sure I was under the right section and able to find what I’m looking for. Never have him fix my floor (I can’t say if he is good or bad at his job) , but I can tell that this person take his job very serious and care about his customers. If I need to refinishing my wood floor, I would definitely take a chance and definitely HIRE him. Thank, Carl!!

I'm still finding clumps of carpet attached to the wall. Not a professional job.
Response from Carl's Wood Flooring, LLC

"We did remove carpet from her floors and who ever painted last had painted the carpet to the trim. I honestly feel we were hired to remove the carpet from the floors not the stuck on carpet to the trim do to the poor paint job. But we still went back to try to make things right for her but it obviously still wasn't good enough although while we were there she said it was. Before we left she was happy but apparently some more got noticed after the fact which honestly couldn't of been much at all. I sure would like her to comment how well her floors turned out and how we worked around her crazy schedule to make it all happen for her."
