Mels Floor Refinishing

The service was excellent. They were very professional, on time and hardworking.

Mel did a good job on the hardwood floor and the floor look great. I would hire him work on my hardwood floor again in the future. I would recommend for other to hire him for hardwood floor.

It went great - on-time and great work.

My floors looked atrocious and Mel made them look beautiful. I couldn't believe the transformation. My husband and I were very happy with the results. We had pulled up carpet in the living room, bedrooms, and hallway and took out old linoleum flooring in the kitchen, where we found plywood in a large area by the back door, inside the closet, and the niche where the refrigerator goes. Mel removed the plywood and installed reclaimed wood in it's place. It blends very nicely with the original hardwood floor. We had Mel refinish the entire main floor. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work he had to do and he did the work quickly. In addition, Mel is a really nice man. He's honest, conscientious, and he's easy to work with. We had to push back the start date for work to begin and Mel was very flexible and understanding. I would definitely recommend Mel. He really wants to do a good job for his clients.

We are thrilled with the way our 50+ year old hardwood floors look after Mel completed the refinishing! He was professional, prompt and very easy to work with. He recommended additional sanding and finish coats in 2 of the bedrooms due to stains that had been under carpet for quite time. We felt that his assessment was accurate and honest, and had him complete the additional work. It was well worth it. I would recommend Mel to anyone who needs hardwood floors refinished.

Did a great job at a great price. I would definitely recommend.

Very well. We discussed several options before going ahead.

Love the work they did! Great great communication and very timely service. Reliable and easy to work with. Happy to recommend to anyone. There were a couple areas on the floor that look like the sander skidded (ripples) but otherwise a great job.

Never got the job done. Was told that the "discount" wouldn't be enough for a complete job. This seems like a bait and switch, as the discount is presented as an offer to do a completed job. When I called to schedule the owner was quick to cancel the job, put me in a bad place as I detrimentally relied on having the job done by a certain time and was not behind schedule. I will say the owner did respond quickly, but at the end of the day spent more time finding a way not to do the job than trying to find common ground. Then he kept trying to put it off on Angie's list. Extremely poor experience.

The deal was for a sanding and two coats of polyurethane. He did it and it was pretty good, but there were places where the poly soaked into the grain and didn't completely cover it. I paid him to come back and give me a third coat which did cover the grain, but he didn't sweep the floor well and now there are a number of places where there is cat hair embedded in the finish.

Very well. Mel did a buff and coat on another floor project and we were very pleased with his work, so felt confident rehiring him for this project. He sanded and put down two coats of varnish. It looks great! We paid $270 for the Angies List Deal (sanding and finishing for 10 X 10 room) and an additional $120 for the second coat of varnish. Our room's actual measurements were 10 X 16 including the closets. It was a little disappointing to see a much better Angie's List Deal become available ($99 for 100 square feet of sanding and refinishing) but Mel has done a great job for us and we are very happy with the results.

He did a nice job. He wasn't on time because of construction, but he was great. This is the second time I used them. He is friendly, responsive, efficient, and in and out in a quick order. The workers were very nice and friendly. The communication was good.

Mel did a great job sanding down a very cruddy maple kitchen floor that had old tarpaper on it. I wasn't sure if it would work, but the floor looked great after he worked on it. He did the work very quickly and at a good price. He was even able to patch in a few areas that were missing maple flooring in a fairly seamless way. Very happy with the results, would use again.

Great JOB overall. I highly recommend Mel's Flooring Refinishing.

The service was great! The floor looks fantastic

Mel is very easy to work with. Great communication and very responsive. He made sure I understand what exactly work needs to be done and was very upfront about the expectations and charge. He arrived promptly and got the work done beautifully. He also offered to remove some extra un-wanted wood fixture without charging more for his extra time. The charge of the work was very reasonable compares to a few other quotes I got from other contractors. I am very pleased overall and would highly recommend Mel to anyone that needs flooring work done.

Amazing! Mel is a true professional and out of all the contractors I have dealt with in rehabbing this old house - and I've dealt with a lot - he was the easiest to work with. He texted with me, was reliable, was prompt, and was courteous. I was a bit anxious about it and he calmed me down and answered all of my many, many questions. He was even flexible and easy going when I wanted to change the finishing process. I trusted him with a lock box and he came and went and left the place in wonderful condition. The floors look incredible. I was going for a matte look, using Bona water based finish because I didn't want the yellowing look of oak. This was a challenging job because it was a foreclosure and the previous owners had numerous black dog urine stains in floor. Mel came over for the initial consultation and sanded out the urine spots just to see if they would come out and give me some options before I had even committed to working with him. I saw that and said, yes, this is my guy! He was able to get them out and everyone has asked me who my floor professional is. Such a relief to find him. I was so happy with his work that I am having him install new hardwood in the upstairs. Oh, he was also the lowest priced of all contractors I had contacted for the floor work and I think did a phenomenal job. My realtor saw the work and asked for his card immediately! One more comment: someone on Angie's List said that he had a young person with him and that they didn't like that, implying it was child labor or something preposterous. Well, that's actually his son, who is a young adult, and is learning a skilled trade from his father. I was going to do this job myself but am so glad I didn't because in watching the process, I saw how hard it is and how many steps are involved. I'm glad he is teaching his son a skilled trade and the value of hard work!

work was done quickly, and was of very good quality

EXCELLENT! Mel did a great job, the floors look better than I could have hoped for! He worked efficiently and made sure we were aware of what to do-and not to do- to best care for our new floors. There was no mess-he cleaned everything up after each day. Mel is very knowledgable and was able to quickly earn my trust.

Great !! Fast and very Professional. Very knowledgeable on wood floors.

The floors look great! I needed the floors refinished quickly and they had them done within 3 days of calling to schedule. Mels flooring made sure I was satisfied and gave me some tips before service to prep the area before sanding.

Mel was great! He contacted me within 1 day of my placing the order and we arranged a date and approximate time for the floor refinishing. Mel arrived on time, inspected my 25 yr old hardwood floor (which had never been refinished) and made it clear what to expect before starting. (Because the wood was old, it was not flat and sanding it twice, which Mel did, would still leave old finish between the boards, which had to be removed by hand.) Instead of applying the single coat of poly immediately (per the Angie's list deal), he arranged to come back after I removed the 'between boards" finish, easily a 10 hr job. Since a single coat on an old floor wasn't enough, he gave me the option to come back and apply a second coat for an additional charge OR doing it myself. Re the DIY, he made it very clear what to expect: how to prepare the floor, what materials to use, and even some tricks to apply multiple coats.. I followed his instructions exactly and the entryway is now absolutely beautiful. People visiting our home notice the high quality of the floor immediately and have complemented us on the great job. So am I happy with Mel and recommend his work? Absolutely! He works with you to make sure the job gets done correctly.

It was pretty okay. I don't think the quality was as good as I had expected it to be and the person that did the work didn't come prepared with all of the equipment. I never did receive a receipt for the work they did. I had to pay $400 more than the $99. I've referred them to someone else.

Everything went very well. Mel was easy to work with and did his work well.

The results were great! My floors looked terrible before refinishing (dogs, stains, etc...). Now, my floors look like new. He also offered to fix a gap between the door and the floor for free. What a nice guy! I would highly recommend this company to others.
