PRO FLOOR SANDING

Although a little difficult to schedule--they were busy!--we had a great overall experience. Everyone was very professional, and the price was very reasonable. The floors in our west philly victorian--some of which had been covered in linoleum for decades--needed a fair amount of repair, and he did a good job of saving what he could and matching new to old.

I was very pleased and WILL use them again! From first call with their office to schedule appraisal appointment, to appraisal through completion of job. Professional, great communication throughout process, everyday the job was left clean. When it was time to choose color of stain Julio make three mixtures. One was my expected color and two other one lighter and one darker, a small detail but appreciated. His (Julio) assistant Jorge was excellent and I could see his attention to detail at every step. They were very careful and did a great amount of hand sanding near furniture. The final product was excellent and looked like a beautifully done brand new floor. I plan on having Julio back in two-three years to do touch-up/maintenance.

Julio and his crew fit me in very quickly to met my schedule. Everyone was very professional, friendly, on time, and did a beautiful job finishing ahead of schedule. I did how ever encounter one problem which was all my fault. After the last coat was applied it took a little longer to dry than the first two. I am assuming because of the temperature change outside. When I arrived home I opened the door reached down and touched the floor and it appeared to be dry. I proceeded to walk inside and a few steps in my boots started sticking to the floor. I was sick that I had messed up my newly refinished floors. The next day I called Julio and explained what I had done. The following day Julio and crew showed up and lightly resanded the last coat and put down a new one. So as not to mess up again I spent last night in a hotel and when I can home this morning my floors where dry and beautiful again. I would highly recommend PRO FLOOR SANDING to everyone. I would also like to add that of the 15 or so companies I called they where the only ones to answer the phone. I left messages with each company and to date almost 3 weeks later only 2 have returned my phone calls. I am an extremely pleased customer of PRO FLOOR SANDING.

Julio and his crew were professional, helpful and nice people to work with. Our new house had hardwood throughout and Julio and his team were able to sand and refinish to make them go from looking old and either damaged by water or dogs to looking beautiful and new. Julio gave a recommendation on a stain color when I was having difficulty deciding and it is really a perfect color for us. We would definitely recommend Julio and his crew and will have him back if we need any future work done.

Julio and his team did a great job! When we bought our house, the floors were in rough shape. We also wanted to extend the wood floor into the kitchen area since we were taking down a few walls and opening it up for a more open concept. Julio and his team were able to blend the new flooring with the old seamlessly! When they were done, the floors looked like new. Julio was patient with us as we decided on the stain color, and put down a bunch of different options on the floor so we could see how it looked. I would hire him again in a second!

I don't usually write reviews but Julio and his team were amazing. I had original old pine floors from 1930 and now they glow like they're brand new. I had two quotes from professionals and a third from a "handy man" that seemed like he did them in his spare time. Both the full time professionals quotes came within $5 of each other. The handy man came in significantly less at $2,700 ($700 less) but I paid for Julio because I was confident that they would turn out right. And boy they did! I needed Julio to get the floors done in a week turnaround and he somehow made it work. He was constantly communicating with me and his guys even came out over the weekend to meet my deadline. His updates before, during, and after the days work were like clockwork -- this guy is a machine! He was always responsive when I had questions. I couldn't be happier with the work. Go with these guys even if it's a bit more money...if nothing more, the peace of mind that it's going to get done right. I can slide across my floors now like Tom Cruise in Risky Business!

We recently had our hardwood floors refinished by a general contractor as part of a larger remodel job and unfortunately they did a poor job on the floor ? they left sanding divots everywhere, the stain was uneven, not enough polyurethane, etc. We decided we wanted them done right and I ended up contacting Pro Floor Sanding. Right from the start, Julio was a pleasure to work with. He came out the same day I contacted him and was confident he could fix the mistakes and save our floors. They had to start over, sanding them down, staining and applying three coats of poly. They did a top notch job and we are so glad we found them, the floors came out great! The difference in quality of work was amazing between Pro Floor Sanding and the last contractor who tried to do the floors. Julio and his crew were very professional the whole time. They showed up on time, explained what they were going to do and kept me updated throughout the job. I would use them again and highly recommend them.

Julio and his crew were the best. They took a great deal of care to seal off spaces to capture dust and prevent its incursion into cabinets, drawers, the refrigerator, pantry, and other parts of the house. There was almost no dust at all inside those cabinets, etc. and the rest of the house was free of dust as well. The work was done beautifully. In the worst areas, they applied three coats of varnish, sanding between each coat. In one area, there were some splotchy spots and I called them to inspect after the job was done. True to their commitment to professionalism, they redid an entire floor vs. just touch up spots. Julio and his crew are not only pros, they are very nice people. It was a pleasure to be around them for a few days.

Julio was great, did everything he promised, explained things clearly, always on time, and the end result looks fantastic. He encouraged us to go in and inspect at each phase and was asking to feedback. For example there were some boards that turned out to be a different color, and at our request he tinted the final coat to make them match, plus he left us a little touch up pot of the final coat so I can do repairs in future.

From the initial inspection and quote right through to the completion of the job, Julio and his crew exceeded all of our expectations. Julio took the time out to walk us through the process and ensure we were comfortable with the work proposed and his methods. The execution of the work was flawless and he even undertook repars which were in addition to what he had initially proposed. During the week the work was performed, we were both overseas and left Julio with our house keys. Upon return, we couldnt be happier with the condition of our property and in addition to recommending Julio and team for their professionalism and the quality of the their work, we highly recommend them for their trustworthiness.

Julio and his crew were excellent! They were punctual and so conscientious. They were working in our new home which we were not living in yet. Julio kept me up to date with phone calls on a regular basis. He always made sure he checked with us before doing anything unexpected. They were done in a very timely manner-a day or two before expected finish date. They cleaned up, even the layer of dust all over the house. Julio is a very kind person and honest business man.

We cannot say enough good things about Julio and would highly recommend his company. He is reliable, communicative, and he and his crew are very professional. They did an amazing job refinishing our almost 100 year old floors. They look like brand new! They took the time to hammer down each nail and add wood putty over every nail hole, meticulous! Our living room had some termite damage in sub floors. Julio put the original veneers back down after we made repairs. It was like putting together a puzzle. No one that visits our home can tell that there was a repair made, a true artisan!

I selected Pro Floor sanding based on the high ratings garnered on Angie's List, which were corroborated by a friend's very positive experience with Julio and his crew. Motivated by both aesthetics and health concerns?wall-to-wall carpeting over beautiful hardwood floors is both a detestable and unhealthful feature if you're allergic to dust mites?I contacted Julio, who gave me a reasonable estimate for removal and disposal of the old carpet, removing nails and staples, sanding down the wood floors, and applying three coats of polyurethane. A full assessment of the condition of the existing flooring needed to wait until the carpet was removed. After that happened, Julio was in constant communication as they uncovered missing or damaged boards. I was briefed about unsightly gaps or missing boards. They did quite a bit of patching and even added wood to areas that had gone bare, as in front of one of the fireplaces (shown in a photo). In the end, the total price for these additional repairs was very reasonable indeed! Julio and his crew-- Jorge, especially-- are true masters of wood. They are also very obliging and considerate--they moved the bed and bureau for me. They did an exemplary job of re-finishing and restoring what were beautiful floors and stairs when the house was built in the early 1830's. And to think that prior owners had painted the steps and floors black! The photos attached give a good idea of the transformation wrought by these highly professional craftsmen!

They did wonderful work. They showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves.

Julio and his team are wonderful. We got an email response to our initial request for a quote the very same day and Vickey scheduled an on-site visit with Julio later that week. Julio was on time and very courteous. After examining the floors and taking measurements of all rooms, he provided us with a quote right then and there. The quote was very reasonable and the timeline he provided fit perfectly into our renovation plans, so we signed the contract on the spot. Julio and his team met me at the house the morning of the scheduled start date (a Tuesday). He briefly walked me through the house to explain what he?d be doing and to point out areas of concern (deep scratches and pet stains). All the while, his guys we getting started moving equipment into the house and taping off the area to be refinished. When I came back at the end of the day, much of the house had already been sanded. Surprisingly, there was minimal dust around the house. I left him with keys to the house so he and his team could come and go for the remainder of the job. They worked through the week and the weekend and finished the job on Monday afternoon. I stopped by a couple times throughout the job and was always pleasantly surprised at how clean they kept the jobsite. As for the quality of work, the floors looks amazing! The original floors were top-nailed and had many nail heads popping up. As he explained on his first visit, they countersunk all the nails and applied wood putty (that alone was worth the price!). There were several areas of damage, including major scratches and pet stains. Julio?s team was able to fix them all. Where needed, he flipped boards over or swapped them with a less visible area (like in a closet). We are very happy with the final results and would definitely contract him again.

Everything went great - a pleasure to deal with. I had other companies quote on the job and was told many times that our upstairs original floor was in too bad shape to sand and repair. Pro Floor Sanding, told me they could do it and they did a wonderful job! Work was carried out on schedule (5 days), bad bits of wood have been repaired and it looks like a new flood. They even hit in every nail head and filled over the top. Thanks again!

Pro Floors/Julio and his team did an excellent job. Could not be happier with the results. Although not the least expensive of the three quotes that I received, they did a great job, and I would highly recommend them.

Pro Floor Sanding were great. I would hire them in a heartbeat. What had happened is we had a fish tank leak. They had to replace the boards that were damaged and they had to refurnish the rest of the continuous floor. The rest of the continuous floor was the rest of the room where the fish thank was which are our dining room, living room, center hall and two bedrooms. It sounds like a big job but our house is tiny. We have about 600 square feet. The only two rooms they didn’t touch were the kitchen and the bathroom because they have different floors. They did an excellent job.

Julio and his team were great. Highly professional, punctual, courteous and TOTALLY focused on client satisfaction. My floors look fantastic and I couldnt be happier. Julio knows everything about hardwood floors and that shows immediately after a brief conversation. They did the job in three days, as planned. They came to work even when the weahter conditions and the snow were terrible. They were punctual and agreeable. Julio supervised all the work. And most importantly for me, they changed the wood slabs twice when the color combinations of the wood werent of my liking. They did that even during the final walk through, when they were ready to leave. They had to work for an additional hour and they did that with a big smile on their faces. I would highly reccomend them to any of my friends.

Pro Floors came out as requested on time as stated. I was pleasantly surprised by there knowledge and professionalism in working with wood floors. I will surely use them in the future. I just have to save a little more money (smile).

We had our kitchen floor replaced after it was damaged by a second floor plumbing leak. Our experience with Pro Floor Sanding and Julio was good from the start. He came to our house promptly, presented options up front as to details. He kept in touch with updates. Julio put a new oak floor in, sanded, stained, coated with polyurethane, and installed new molding. The floor looks great, and he blended it well with the floor of the adjoining room. More than this, it is always a pleasure to work with someone who is a nice guy, and that he is. We heartily recommend him.

Julio was there to give me the estimate, and kept in touch throughout the week of work. He explained exactly what would be done at what times, and was flexible enough to put the different color stain samples down the night before they would start staining so that we could see exactly how the different colors would look. Julio and Vickey were very responsive with my calls and questions. I did receive cheaper estimates, however I felt that the extra work Julio and his team would put in would be worth my money in the long run. Very happy with the end product. I would recommend Pro Floor Sanding to anyone who asks.

Estimator arrived on time, was professional and informative. Decided to go with different service provider based on friend's recommendation and lower estimate. This was the highest of three estimates I received for the work.

Floors look great and very little dust after thee job was completed.

In the consult, Julio explained the process and i was allowed to ask several questions. He was very professional and took his time to answer my questions and concerns. On the morning of the job, he and his crew arrived on time and for the duration of the job they were clean, courteous and punctual. I followed his advice, which I would strongly suggest to anyone hiring him. That carpet was in horrible condition and his team removed it. Thankfully, the floor below it was in terrific condition and they did a very good job in refinishing it. It is absolutely beautiful and everyone who walks in admires it. I am glad I listened to him and stayed out of his way. Take his advise on the problem with the dust and how to minimize the effect of it. It really can get into places you cannot imagine! Also, there is no way around it--- the job generates dust but he knows what he is doing. Make sure you know what the job will look like before ir's done. A great company and I would work with them again!
