We were given a "window" of several days for the move since it was mid-winter and the weather could be (and was) a factor. As the date got close and weather forecasts could be fairly reliable, the loading was scheduled for perhaps an afternoon and the next morning. The weather that day was in the teens and would fall to the teens below zero. The crew loaded out a four bedroom house in an afternoon and headed to their home base Arlington for the night. The unloading was into a "self-storage" and a second floor apartment when the weather was a few degrees warmer. Both the load and unloading went smoothly, efficiently, and safely. The crew was personable, competent, and caring about us and our things. Some of the pieces had been moved several times before, both by myself with friends assisting and by "professionals" and have been worn or damaged in the past. It is a month later and we have pretty much unpacked and have found no damage or breakage from the move. This includes several hard to pack on a truck items like a china cabinet with a curved glass front and a heavy sleeper sofa. Brad and his crew are the best crew I have ever used and I have moved over 20 times in the last 45 years. I trust them enough that I will be using them in the near future to move from temporary housing into a more permanent home. Of note and important to me was the flexibility they showed in scheduling and dealing with multiple destination locations in what were simply adverse weather conditions for moving household goods. I wish I had known about them before. Highly recommend.

Glenn set up a time and arrived on time. We talked over the idea and the type of floor we wanted. Glenn responded 1 day later with a very competite quote of $7,700. We were quoted for the same job by Esquire Interiors of Ann Arbor for nearly $14,000!! Follow-up: We were notified promptly that they needed to order more flooring from Armstrong and that the job could start in two weeks. Paul followed up, let us know the floor was there, and set up a date. He said it would take about 4-5 days in total. Installation: John and his soon-to-be son in law arrived promptly each day at 9am, and worked dilligently for the entire day each day they were here. Since we were already living in the house, there was plenty of furniture to be moved around and the two of them did it without complaining and had a well laid out plan of how to make it work. They were also very good about cleaning up prior to leavig for the day and never left us in a bind as far as workable space goes. Finished product: The floor look fantastic! No flaws that I have been able to decipher and would highly recommend Cand K to anyone looking for a job well done. Other: The $100 difference between the quote and final price was for some shoe molding that had to be replaced.

We quickly discovered that the house was in great need of repair. We hired a contractor and got to work removing moldy walls in the garage. That contractor recommended that we continue with James Potter Construction, as Mr. Potter had more time available and it was clear that we would have many tasks. Mr. Potter responded immediately and we planned a new kitchen, including removal of old linoleum and installation of new bamboo wood floors. We wanted to use local merchants and Mr. Potter was extremely helpful in helping us find the best source for kitchen cabinets. He and his team designed and installed a great new kitchen, complete with a ceramic tile backsplash, new plumbing, and partially customized cabinets. He also made useful suggestions and modifications with an eye to our needs. He supervised the installation of composite counter tops and sink and when the new sink developed flaws, he negotiated with the supplier and the manufacturer to insure that repairs were made promptly and completely. By the way, Mr. Potter and crew work very amiably with the painters. Next came windows... we live in a cold climate and several windows had obvious seal failure. We determined to replace all windows and Mr. Potter and his team undertook that job. Once again he was instrumental in locating the best quality replacements at a reasonable price. By now we feel we know the men who work on various jobs and enjoy having them in our home. They are all very competent, careful, polite, friendly, and never leave a mess. The work has continued. At present Mr. Potter is installing a new ceiling fixture in the dining room, including rewiring. Further work includes more wood flooring on the bedroom (3rd) level of our home, walls that need to be repaired, replacement of a support beam on the front steps, and remodeling a bookcase/cabinet installation in the living room to create a television/fireplace setting. Mr. Potter is already at work scouting prices and materials. I'm sure I'm missing some of the chores that he undertook over the past months. He has been simply invaluable to us as a local resource, and a reliable, professional and extremely competent workman. We would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs competent construction.

The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.
