Stan is both a skilled professional and a creative problem solver. Our house has nearly all hardwood floors--I asked for a quote on Monday, and they were pristine by Wednesday. Very fairly priced for this level of work. He's also a great conversationalist.

Not happy with final coat. There is alot of dirt and dog hair trapped in the final coat. He took our money and we never heard back from him.
Response from Level Builders & Developers, Inc.
"we advised the customer to keep the dog out the work area until the polyurathane is dry we are professionals and we know how sensitive the polyurathane is when its wet instead of t aking our advise they favored the dogs desires and allowed the dog to roam thru the work site tracking dirt and flying hair on the floor after we put our hard fought sweat and labor relentlessly into the floors to get them beautiful after allowing our work to be disrespected and dogged out once we are not interested in coming back to be disrespected and dogged out twice we gave the customer everything they paid for as we do all of our customers but its not our dog we can only give advise we cant control your house or your dog most considerate AND RESPECTFUL people wich is the majority of people we worked with either leave the dog in the back yard or the basement or lock in a room for their safety until the floor are dry we didnt mess up the final coat you allowed the dog to mess it up LETS BE HONEST ABOUT IT"

multiple trips to complete the job.
Response from Level Builders & Developers, Inc.
"What this customer is not telling you is we took this job on a days notice we started the job and he left town the next day he ask me to pick out the color of the stain he didnt really know what color he wanted but the existing floor had multiple colors in it and any one of the four colors would be fine (as a rule i always let customers picked out their own colors but in this case he insisted and left town so this job is a 5 day process and with rmovind and putiing the furniture back it becomes a seven day process when the customer returned the job was completely finished to perfection. he said he did not like the stain color i felt bad that he wasnt happy so we repeat the whole 7 day process free of charge including putting the furniture back and OUR THANK YOU FOR A GALLANT EFFORT WAS his comment above mutiple trips to complete the job WOW! HE FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT WE DELIVERED MARVELOUS FLOORS!!!"

before reading anything else, DO NOT PURSUE BUSINESS WITH STANLEY WILLIAMS/LBD. Stanley Williams, the owner of the company, stained our floors the wrong color. When I talked with him about how this was not the color he promised, he became very angry, claiming the work is finished and demanded his check. Instead of waiting for me to get home to talk about possible solutions, he grabbed a bucket of black stain and poured it all over our floors. It got on our walls, refrigerator, and cabinets. He was very paranoid I would not pay him, which is completely false considering I gave him a deposit worth half of the job a few days prior. The full story: From the start, Stanley was unprofessional. He made sexual advances in which limits and boundaries had to be defined. Because he had already started the job when he did this, I set the boundaries and moved forward. During the sanding portion of the job, his workers were extremely hard-working. They did not take a break and were very studious. That was not the issue. The issue was the color of the stain. Reasonably, we wanted the refinished floors to match the color of our other hardwood floors and our trims. We told Stanley this and he agreed. After the first coat was applied, the color of our floors looked absolutely nothing like before. They were much lighter. When I talked to Stanley, he said that our floors would never look like they would before and the natural stain was the best possible. I understand that it is difficult to have an exact color match, but Stanley never mentioned this until after he stained our floors natural. He was dishonest, and never told us what he was doing. He just promised us that the floors would look like the original. Now, at this time, I had to go to the airport to pick up a family member. So, Stanley showed me a piece of hardwood sample and claimed that after the second coat was applied, our floors would look just like the sample. I was okay with this, as the color matched closely enough. He also said he would go to Home Depot to look for better matching stains. Because I had to leave, he demanded the check. I read some prior reviews on homeadvisor stating that Stanley would leave with the check, and never return any phone calls or messages regarding unfinished work. I was therefore worried that he would just leave with the check, not fulfilling his promise to try to fix the color. My oldest daughter offered to stay home to make sure that the work he promised was the finished work. She would stay there until I was back to make sure everything was right and to give him his check. Had he finished early and did the job we asked for, I left the check with her to give to him. He ended up finishing early and did not go to Home Depot as he said. We was being aggressive towards my daughter, demanding his check and saying that the only thing left to do is to get his money as the job was done. The job may have been done, but it was certainly not the job I asked for since the

I hired Stan to refinish my stairs and hallway. It was a terrible experience. Stan did very little of the work. Instead, 90% was done by a 17 year old that he dropped off before leaving for the day. Although Stan's employee was a very good worker, he had very little experience. I thought the job was going very slowly in comparison to another estimate of cost and time I had received. When I questioned Stan about how slowly the job was going, he became very defensive and much of the communication that followed from him was inappropriate and belligerent. Also, I did not expect the level of dust from the sanding and Stan did not put up any tarps the first day. I asked him to do so the following day and he made a minimal effort. He also did not take the garbage (mostly sanding dust) with him after the job was completed. When I asked him about it he said "I don't want that toxic waste in my van."€ The next day I was digging up some ferns in the back of my deck and saw that he had thrown some of that sanding dust underneath them. I took photographs. Money was also an issue. Shortly after Stan arrived, he requested half of the payment in cash. He had not mentioned that, so I gave him a check. At the conclusion of the job, he said it was $100.00 more than he had quoted me. He eventually remembered he was incorrect. I had to ask for a written receipt. The work itself was ok. The edges of the stairs were not done very well and I asked him to do those areas more completely. I also asked him to try to match the wood fill with the stain and he did that in most places. There are several small areas in the hallway with bubbles. I have owned my house for 32 years and have had an enormous amount of work done by many different contractors. I ha€™ve never written a negative review of anyone's work.

I had called quite a few companies to get a bids for a floor to be done. LBD called right back and gave me an estimate for the work in a day. They did the work on a really bad floor and made it very workable. Easy to work with and prompt on the needs of their customers.

Stan and his crew did an amazing job refinishing the hardwood floors in all of my rooms. He came to my house on Labor day to give me a quote and will be finished up tomorrow (Saturday). Two of the areas were badly stained by red clay used to hold down carpet foam and the transformation has been awesome to see. I highly recommend hiring Stan and his crew for your project. Quality work from good people at a great price!

I was apprehensive to go with Stan after reading some of the negative reviews on H0ome Advisor. He told me that he addressed the problem by releasing one of his men who was ding substandard work. I decided to take a chance and go with Stand and I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! My floors are beautiful!! The crew was professional and the work was timely! I highly recommend LBD Wood Floor Service!!

Really great value. They refinished three rooms for us in a rental property and even though the floors were in really bad shape, they did their best to make them look great. The rate was very affordable and we did shop around a bit. They were done when they said they'd be done and were even ready to start sooner than we were ready which is never the case with most contractors. I would highly recommend!!
