We chose Paulson's to do all of the flooring in our house (carpet upstairs, hardwoods on the first floor and tile in the bathroom). Despite commissioning them to do nearly $20,000 in work, the scheduling was not handled well, they did not install primer to the subfloor which we agreed upon, and they did not let the floors acclimate for a week before sanding and finishing them as we had laid out in the contract. Also, they did not level the floors with the bathroom tile Paulson's installed. Paulson's did all of our flooring and did not install the tile, hardwoods or carpet well. We coordinated to have them fix the lip to the bathroom floor and correct the issue, but their installers came over and did nothing to fix the issue. We would not recommend using them for flooring.

He left and a couple of weeks later he called and came back to go over the estimate he had emailed earlier. Again we discussed what I wanted and he explained what he was going to do and when he could start. The day before Pavel and his crew started work he dropped off the insulation panels and took a can of old paint to match the color. Pavel and his crew showed up the next day at the specified time. They carefully laid out plastic on the floor and covered all the furniture that could not be moved. Two of the workers tore out lights that were mounted in the ceiling; the old drywall; spacer boards and nasty insulation. When they were done for the day they were meticulous in cleaning up. They dusted the counter top and vacuumed the floor. They uncovered all the furniture. The next day they returned and again covered up the floor and furniture. Outside they measured and cut the insulation panels; then drilled air holes for ventilation and covered with mesh wire. The panels were then installed and the drywall was screwed in place. There was an electrical issue with the old lights, Pavel called his electrician in and he found the problem. They uncovered the floor and furniture and again vacuumed. The next day Pavel came and did all the tape and mudding on the drywall. Something was wrong with the electricity in half the house. Pavel was able to locate the problem and fix it. Next day he came back and sanded and mudded again. Next day he sanded again and got the ceiling ready for painting. The next day the painters came in and painted after covering the floor and furniture. Pavel came back on Saturday night to put up the new molding to be ready for painting. The following day Pavel returned and put up all the lighting. I am very pleased with the work that was done; Pavel is very professional and courteous and the workers were all polite and informative. I would use Pavel again. He went above and beyond with the electrical problems.

Steve was haphazard in returning calls at the start of the project and scheduling his and quot;specialistand quot; to come look at the floors also took considerable time. The guys who installed the floor, we assume they were subcontractors as the van identified them as a company other than Friends and Family, came on site, they installed the floors leaving more than a 1/8 gap between the height of the new floor and the existing floor. The installers put int the floor and left our house without saying anything to us about it even though we were home the entire time. When we spoke to Steve about it, he didn't volunteer to come and look at the work performed but rather had his assistant send us an updated invoice with an additional $2,000 charge. Steve didn't come and look at the floor, didn't apologize for the floor, didn't say that the installers should have called him with this issue. Steve just said that now the floors would need to be sanded and passed the entire cost to us. We had discussed with Steve before the project began as to whether sanding the floors would be necessary and he came out to the house - with the installers who appeared to have the expertise - to make this particular determination and said that the floors would not need to be sanded. A new invoice was sent immediately. Just an invoice. It's only when we expressed our disapproval that Steve offered the minor gesture of picking up the cost of a box or two of wood installed. We have doubts that four boxes of wood were even used as he suggested. We were moving and had left the area but we came back to take a look at the sanding and finishing job, and we were disappointed again. The subcontractors Steve hired, sanded down the floors and exposed the considerable gaps between the new boards they installed. We are not sure if this was a measurement or installation issue, but it looked awful. Again, this was not brought to our attention. When we called to speak to Steve about it, he said he would have someone come back to install some wood putty. Putting aside any concern about the number of gaps evident after a professional installation, we were disappointed that this was not brought to our attention and taken care of. We moved across the country and have not come back another time to see how well, or how poorly, this work was done. We are not hopeful. To make matters worse, one day after the work was supposedly complete - we never got to see the final job - Steve called us to ask for payment and then immediately followed up with an email indicating that we hadn't paid the remaining balance owed. However, we called to make payment that same day and no one was in the office. As it is detailed above, we communicated with hime throughout the process but we also emailed him at the end expressing our disappointment. He responded by email saying and quot;sometimes a person needs to hear this.and quot; There was no offer for a reduction in the fee or any efforts to make it right. We paid Steve in full but please don't use his service. We completed a $65,000 kitchen remodel and used wonderful contractors - he was the lone exception.

Vega team fixed my kitchen and bathroom floors very quickly. They did perfect prep before installing . Their guys were sanding a lot and then used self leveling to get perfect level. They are a high quality company and very efficient and affordable. Outstanding service.

It went well, but communication over how to allow floors to cure was unclear. Also, never told us what products to use to clean floors.

The two man crew got here right on time and began to check out the pipes in the attic. They decided to clean out the vent exiting from the house and got a lot of debris out. This was not what I asked them to do. They didn't pull the dryer from the wall to see the problem their also. They...

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.
