Note - these were real hardwood floors, not composite or engineered. It went generally well, on-schedule and on-budget. Joe was very thorough in the walk-through and the estimate was detailed. He could have communicated more proactively about minor issues that came up. I had previously had existing hardwoods sanded and the dust throughout the entire house was a disaster (different contractor). Joe's crew took care to limit the dust from sanding the new floors and I really appreciated that. We still need to recondition some floors and we will reach out to Joe Hardwood to do that job as well.

Joe (the owner) initially came to look at job. He seemed like a nice guy and interested in doing the work. Before i hired him I had some questions on the process and product they would be using and it was almost impossible to get any response. During that time I removed all of the stairs myself so they could be refinished in his shop. It took several months to get his crew to show up and pick up the stairs, during which time I had to use makeshift stairs. The stairs were done in two bathes and when I got the second batch of stairs back they were "tacky" and the finish didn't match the finish on the first batch of stairs they finished. I had to text Joe several times after that to get the name of the product he used so I can have some of the stairs redone. Before he started on my stairs, I told Joe several times I wanted several coats of urethane applied to the stairs. He never told me how many he applied but it looks like one or two at best. i noted from his final invoice that I could have requested additional coats at $.25/ft which would have have been just a few $ per stair. He never asked how many coats I wanted to be applied but I would have requested several additional coats if he had bothered to ask me. Of course, given the fact I will have to redo some, or all, of the stairs its not much of an issue. I should have trusted my gut when he got flaky and just did the job myself. it was almost 9 months from the time I got his estimate until the job was finished. In all fairness some of that time was on me but most of that was time I was waiting on him and his crew.
Response from Joe Hardwood Floors

"[Member Name Removed]'s review is not a fair summary. We provided [Member Name Removed] an estimate that detailed product used, including the brand. In addition, we texted him the name of the brand & product. It was explained that this product is unique; it provides excellent protection with low VOCs. It is also not available for retail purchase. We referred him to a restaurant that used this product on their stairs; this restaurant has heavy regular traffic. It was explained that the same materials and process performed to the restaurant stairs would be used on his stairs. The restaurant stairwell experiences several thousand patrons each month in traffic, more than most home will experience over several years, and the restaurant stairs remain in great condition. This is why we believe the product recommended, including manner of application, is a great solution for [Member Name Removed] needed time from initial engagement to remove stairs himself; it is not my custom to rush homeowners. The turnaround from each stairs being taken to being returned was longer than if we worked on them in the house but we did as requested. [Member Name Removed] never reached out with an issue or complaint regarding the quality of the work; if he had, we would have resolved. These projects cost money and time; we respect that and work hard to provide a quality product."

The worker took the closet doors off. I was told they would be put back on when the job was complete. I notified Joe via a phone, text and email. He never responded once. Before I hired him he said he fully back up his work. I don't understand why he would not respond or have his worker come back to put the doors back on.

Joe came to my house to look at my hardwood floors, which I was considering resurfacing. I explained that I was on the bubble about resurfacing them. And after looking at the floors, Joe actually recommended that I not resurface them for awhile longer because even though they did have a little wear and tear, they were in good shape considering I have two teenage boys and two dogs. Consequently, I am going to put it off for a few years. I really appreciated his counsel and recommendation. When the time comes, Joe will be the call I make!

Joe came out to review for estimate, said he would have the quote to me within 2 days. After a week with no quote or response to my phone calls, I gaveup on them. Four weeks later, they had the nerve to call me to see if I was still in the market to have the work done. When challenged about their lack of response, the laady said “they had been vey busy”. Never a good excuse for ignoring a potential customer!
Response from Joe Hardwood Floors

"What is most disappointing about this review is we sent the estimate to the homeowner multiple times during the course of our interaction. We also followed up with him on several occasions after the initial email was sent, leaving voicemails. The homeowner communicated that he was hoping to start the work sooner vs later and we prioritized accordingly. After sending the estimate and calling several times, he did call us back irate, yelling, asking where his estimate was. We apologized, checked the email address, it was correct, and communicated the date / time the estimate was emailed. He could not find in his inbox. We resent. We did not hear back and thought he decided to proceed with another vendor. Regardless, we followed up to touch base. He was upset that it took us so long to call; it is important to note that we had called and emailed multiple times before this interaction with no response. This review does not reflect our work nor does it reflect our diligence in customer interaction, as our other reviews demonstrate."

Joe came out and gave me an estimate, which I thought was very reasonable. His employees were professional and wanted to ensure that we were happy with the results, which we are! We'd removed a false-fireplace and a couple of walls, and Joe's crew repaired these areas, inserting new boards in the spaces left as a result of the demolition. The floors look as though they've always been there, and blend seamlessly with the rest of the 50 year old mixed red and white oak. Our hideous "1980s yellow" floors are now a beautiful strawberry blonde color, and are holding up beautifully, despite the fact that we have two rambunctious dogs. I highly recommend Joe and his flooring crew.

Joe came out, stated that we did not need his service, and told us how to take care of the problem. He was very nice and took the time to explain what to do without charging for his time. We will definitely hire him when ready to refinish our floors.

I love my new hardwood floors! Rob and his crew were great! The job was done right after final measurement. The crew was very efficient and clean-up was excellent. Very positive experience. Will definitely recommend and use again.

Rob was very prompt in responding to my request and going to our home to estimate the job. Likewise, his crew was fast in getting the job started and finished ahead of schedule. They did a terrific job restoring our 60 years old, pet stained, worn out hardwood floors. They were clean, fast, and very professional. Rob even took the time to send us recommendations for floor cleaning and maintenance. I would definitely recommend their work.

I had Joe's Hardwood Floors install hardwood floor for me last week. I supplied the wood they installed it. Everything went as planned and the floors look great. They seem to have done a great job with the install. Rob explained every step of the way and worked with me on payment. Price seemed fair even cheaper than another place I looked. 
Would definitely work with them again if ever needed.

Plumber gouged my nice floors (previously refinished by Joes Hardwoods) by dragging a clawfoot tup across them.   Worker sanded down boards and restained/revarnished and they look awesome....you can only see the gouges if you look for them.  What was a terrible looking scratched floor now looks almost perfect.   Also installed large thresholds which I had purchased and stained myself.   Took a long time to arrange...four emails over 2 months, until guys had a free afternoon.   $275 for two guys, about 90 minutes of work;  well worth it given the attractiveness of the floors.

Joe and his employees did a great job! Our floor + stairs look beautiful. He was very accommodating and gave us great advice.
Overall we are extremely happy with the outcome.  The price was also very competitive. Work was done timely with no complications and/or surprises.

My interaction and experience with Joe Hardwood was excellent. This is the second time I have hired them to refinish wooden floors in my home. Rob was, as always, punctual and pleasant to work with. He performed the estimate very quickly and provided me a copy of the proposal via email very soon after he finished measuring the rooms. Based on my past experience with Joe Hardwood, I knew I was getting high value for the cost, which is comparable to most other service providers. My next interaction was with Ossie, the project manager. He too was very courteous and punctual. He walked me through the timeline and made himself available as the point of contact. The sanding process was quick and as clean as one could expect. When it was time to select a finish, my wife and I selected one that ended up being too light and had to quickly get Ossie involved to correct our issue. He and his staff were able to mix two stains together and apply a second coat of stain that was perfect. It was done so well it is hard to differentiate between the new finishing job and the floors we were trying to match them to. The process of applying polyurethane was quick - two coats over three days. The floors are beautiful and we are very happy with the work.

I used Joe Hardwood Floors to refinish my floors in my home and am very pleased with the outcome. From the time I requested a quote to completion of the job (including calls to them); everyone on their staff was punctual, friendly, and helpful. My floors are original hardwoods from the 50?s and they look brand new!  The process they use to sand left minimal dust. I couldn?t believe I didn?t have to wipe everything down.  I highly recommend them.
