We found this company at the Fort Worth Home and Garden Show, so we assumed that they were a company we could depend on to do a good job. We went to their showroom and picked out the wood we wanted to have installed, which was a "show special". A day and time was agreed on for the job and we were excited to get our new floors installed. Since we are not a young couple, we arranged for movers to come and move the furniture out of the rooms that were being redone, which created a necessary but temporary inconvenience for us that was only supposed to last a couple of days.
The demo of the existing floors was very difficult and messy. The crew arrived around 10 am and worked hard all day at demo. They did not finish the demo on day one as originally anticipated. Also, they were quite messy and left fingerprints and dings on the walls and baseboards, they opened the windows without asking us, the homeowners, even though the air conditioning was turned on and turned down very cold, and then when they left, they never bothered to close the windows as they found them. They also sat on the window sills even though the windows have expensive shutters installed and are not to be used as chairs. They also left their shovels and large demo tools leaning on the walls, leaving some scrape marks on the walls, which we asked them not to do. They left wood debris from the demos inside the windows, on the windowsills, and inside the fireplace. The crew were all very young and we attributed this to their age and resulting lack of experience and professionalism.
On day two, they showed up and finished demo on the old floors and began installing the new floors. They did not finish installing the new floors until close to 6 pm on a Friday evening, and they left without cleaning up the floors. The owner (Josh) was called and asked why the floors were left covered with dust and debris, and Josh said "We don't clean floors". Josh was questioned on how the floors could be left looking so dirty when our past experience with other floor companies is that they take pride in leaving the floors clean and beautiful, and Josh stated again that "we don't clean floors and we never said we would". First of all, we didn't realize that was a question that NEEDED to be asked when agreeing to hire this company, because every time in the past that any type of remodeling work was done in our home, the crew doing the work cleaned up their mess. Not this time! Josh told us that we needed to mop the floors with Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner or some other type floor cleaner. We asked him to at least come and take a look at the floors to see what we were complaining about, but all he did was give his number so we could text pictures to him. He never agreed to come to our home to see it in person. So after that phone call, we mopped the floors two times with Bona Cleaner but they still looked awful, with a white film and residue (see pictures attached). And, since these floors were hand-scraped, the white residue and dust was all in the distressed areas and cracks in the floor and it looked terrible! So we took pictures of the floors from all angles, and also took pictures of the walls where the crew had left their marks.
On Saturday morning, all these pictures were sent to Josh via text to the number he gave us, which was followed by a series of text messages between Josh (the business owner) and the us (the homeowners). After seeing the pictures, Josh responded that it looked like an excess glue issue, not a dust issue. How are we, as homeowners, expected to know this??? If the floors had been cleaned before the crew left, they would have noticed all the excess glue everywhere and known that it needed to be cleaned up!!! After seeing the pictures, Josh agreed to send his crew back to our home on Monday. At the conclusion of the texting conversation, Josh inadvertently sent a text to us, the homeowners, that he had intended to send to his crew, and in this text he was joking about how the homeowners "don't like us cause we don't clean floors LOL". Afterwards he realized what he had done and apologized to us (via text) and told us he meant to send that text to his crew. We replied that we thought it was very unprofessional and insulting for him to be making a joke about our situation.
With nothing to be done to resolve our floor situation until Monday, that left us living in disarray for the rest of the weekend, which was totally inconvenient. During the back and forth text conversation with Josh (no, he never picked up the phone to call us), there were three times he referenced sending the crew to our home on Monday MORNING! However, the crew did not show up on Monday morning, so we called the office and were told it would be after 2 pm on Monday afternoon before they could come because they were out on another job. By 3:15, we were tired of waiting and tired of getting the run-around and we called our credit card company and initiated a merchant dispute, which caused a chargeback to Josh's company's account for the amount that we had paid for the floors. The credit card company told us not to drop the complaint until we were happy, and to fill out a form and send it in with the pictures we had taken and they would take care of it for us.
Finally about 5 pm on Monday, the crew showed up, but of the four crew members, two never got out of the truck. When the other two came to the door, we asked them to remove their shoes and not walk on our brand new floors in their shoes, but they refused. Of the two of them who came in, it was the crew's foreman, Aaron, who did the majority of all the work. He had to use mineral spirits to get the excess glue off the floor, and then he had to use two different types of floor cleaner (Bona and Mohawk) after that to remove the film left over from the mineral spirits. He also had to use ALOT of elbow grease to get the glue off the floor and to get all the dust out of the cracks. He got a lot of the excess glue off the floor, but not all of it, nor did he get all the film off the floor, but he still left after about an hour, even though the floor still had some excess glue here and there, and there was still some film on it from the mineral spirits. It was better, yes, but still had a ways to go.
After the crew left, we spent another two hours of mopping and cleaning to try to get the floor looking like it should have looked all along. We finally got the floor to the point where we can stand it, but we still occasionally see places where we need to clean it again with the mineral spirits to get the glue spots off. It is very frustrating that we have been put in this position after paying so much money to have nice floors.
Also, we were charged $100 for "undercutting the fireplace" which was not done. When we asked for a refund of that $100, Josh told us to call the office and get them to cut us a check. The girl at the office wrote us a check that we then took to Josh's bank, who would not cash it because of INSUFFICIENT FUNDS! We texted Josh to tell him his check was no good, and he apologized and told us to try again the next day, which was Friday. So instead of taking a couple of days, it took over a week to get our floors installed and cleaned and get a refund of the money we paid for something that wasn't done, and get our movers back to our home to put all our furniture back in place.
Would we use this company again? Absolutely NOT! And we wouldn't recommend them to anyone! Aaron, the crew leader or foreman or whatever he is, told us they NEVER clean floors wh"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/fort-worth/furniture-%27n%27-floors-inc-reviews-6416829.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SanDino Home Solutions, LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kimberly W."},"reviewBody":"We hired Jack Santarelli with Sandino Home Solutions to add a third garage to our home in April. The job is still not completed. He does not answer emails or calls in a timely manner. The roof which was completed in July is still sub par with large humps in it. The back fence was left in a hazardous condition in which we were forced to complete in a makeshift manner in order to protect our toddler and dog from escaping and falling subject to injury. The expansion joint was sub par and unsightly. The trim around the garage has yet to be completed. Unfortunately, our contract was agreed upon to "pay-as-you-go" and thus we have absolutely no way of holding him or his company to finishing this project. Mr. Santarelli has verbally agreed that these items should be corrected and yet there has been no effort to address these things at all. We were forced to contact someone to finish the garage doors ourselves so that we would at least be able to utilize the garage and get our property out of storage. We paid out of pocket to do this. This job is not completed and we are officially on day 223 of a project that we were assured would take only 42 days. It is my belief that Jack Santarelli and Sandino home solutions have no intent of finishing this job.I have heard every excuse in the book from "hurricanes to the south and tornadoes to the north" regarding why this job has not been completed. I read every complaint on line and believed the rebuttals from Mr Santarelli regarding the complaints however I have been played the fool by him on several occasions. There is always a verbal explaination regarding why things aren't going well and yet very little, if any, action to rectify the problem. This company did not have solutions regarding where to dispose of the building materials that were left in the drive way for months. It was even suggested to me by SanDino Home Solutions that we should take some of the items to the emtpy field across the street from my home to remove it from my driveway. A successful company knows where to take disgarded building materials. These are things that should not burden a home owner during a project unless they are doing the remodel themselves. This company absolutely does not stand behind their work. This company has no intent of finishing this project or any other project. I am sure he will say that I have been "difficult to work with" however I was a dream client until we hit day 100 of a project that was to take only 42 days. We paid on time, gave him the benefit of the doubt and by no means set unrealistic expecations which are all statements that have been made by other clients. Please research surrounding states and their government websites before discounting my claims. This business has had many names including Tarelli Construction, Home Design Solutions and SanDino Home Solutions. Please listen to me. I am an honest, hard-working citizen who strives to do the right thing in every aspect of my life. If you hire this company under ANY name you will be adding stress to your lives that is highly unnecessary. LOOK ELSEWHERE. I am looking forward to the rebuttal of this post by the business owner who always has an answer but very little action. Let my experience guide you. Let time speak for itself. I have celebrated the following holidays while waiting for the job to be completed. Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner....Something tells me the job will remain an open task while the fat guy lands his sleigh on my roof. This was, according to Mr. Santarelli "an easy job that won't take more than 3 or 4 weeks." Again, let time speak for me. Ask yourself this question "Do I want a contractor to start this job and finish it? Or do I want a contractor to START this job?" If you hire SanDino Home Solutions you are only looking for someone to START the job. Please Please heed my warnings.

FAQs for hurricane film service projects in Richland Hills, TX
The average cost for window security film is around $7 per square foot or $42 per window. However, your total could range from $3 to $15 per square foot or $18 to $90 per window. The cost depends on the square footage of your window, the thickness and quality of the security film, the number of windows, and the type of windows.
Hurricane window film costs about $350 for a 75-foot roll, which can cover about 10 average-sized windows. This film can help prevent window shattering during extremely high winds, but it’s not impact-resistant like storm windows.
Your homeowners insurance provider may decrease your premium if you improve the security of your home with window security film. You can contact your insurer to determine whether there will be a change in cost after applying this addition. If there is a decrease in your homeowners insurance premium or deductible, it will likely only be available if your window film is installed by a professional window film installer.
Window security film won’t prevent break-ins or stop your window from shattering from impact during extreme weather like hurricanes or tornadoes. However, applying security film is relatively inexpensive, and it can make breaking into your home significantly harder—often hard enough to deter burglars entirely—and keep your window from shattering on your floor after impact. For these reasons, window security film is often a worthwhile investment that helps protect your property.
Window security film has a few key benefits that make it an enticing home improvement:
It’s much more affordable than shatterproof windows or hurricane windows.
It improves your home’s energy efficiency and can save money on heating and cooling bills.
It makes it harder to break into your home.
It helps prevent dangerous shattered glass after an impact.
You can tint it to provide additional protection from the sunlight.
Applying window security film yourself is possible, but we don’t recommend it. This task is simple in theory, but getting the product to sit on your windows evenly and without bubbles underneath is challenging for DIYers who lack the necessary experience and tools. You might save money on labor by applying it yourself, but you might also end up with a film that doesn’t look appealing, prompting you to start over and spend the money on a professional installation anyway. Plus, most window film manufacturers will void your warranty if you install the product yourself.
