In trying to decide to replace or refinish our red oak hardwood floors in the kitchen and entry, we decided to refinish, especially after talking to these folks. They helped us appreciate the fine wood already in place that just needed the chance to look its best again.
We caught NW Premium Hardwood Floors (and others) during a busy time, so communications sometimes took a day or two, but Vasilly (project manager / owner?) was helpful and thorough in answering our questions.
Pricing seemed reasonable and a bit below other estimates, though price was not the deciding factor for my choice.
We were in the midst of locking-in a start date when Vasilly called late one evening to inform us they could start the next morning. Given we had to essentially move out for 4-days (we chose the smelly but durable Swedish coating), we had to scramble to be ready.
They arrived early the next morning, showed us options for stain color by sanding and staining small sections of actual floor (really helped see the actual result, which they just sanded off), and then got to work. Two brothers were hard-working machines. They seemed to really know their craft, had the right equipment and skills, and transformed the floor. The stain brought out the grain and the three coats of satin finish we chose helped diminish the polished look we had wanted to avoid. Put another way, they nailed the look we had hoped for; the result was excellent. Looking closely I could see a few small areas where the sanding arcs of a courser pass didn't quite get sanded out by the finer pass, but it's not noticeable unless on hands and knees. Otherwise, each coat seemed even and applied properly - nice work ... on the floor.
After moving back in, they had agreed to replace the oven and refrigerator (we didn't want to scratch the new floor), but they stood us up on two subsequent days they had promised. Giving up on them we bought fibreboard to protect the floor and did it ourselves. They didn't even call back until two days later - not great follow-up.
Observations/suggestions: We had done our homework and knew what to expect about the dust from sanding the floors (despite good plastic sheeting and vacuum sanding system) and the need to VACATE for a few days while the Swedish finish cured. Also, a few dings are expected as they remove and replace baseboard. They failed to provide ANY information on what to expect, so I could see some frustration by those who found a dusty and smelly home for a few days afterward, or a ding or chip from the process. A simple one-page FAQ sheet would go a long way to reducing surprises for those not digging into the details. Dropping the ball in getting the appliances back in-place was irritating, but the floor work is what mattered most, and I feel they did a nice job.
Would recommend for the quality of the flooring refinish. Not so much for follow-through.
One thing I believe could improve is responsiveness. It was at time hard to reach Vasily or have a good sense of the timelines/days. Also, I would have liked to have better help with the color matching/selection. I had to almost pick the colors on the spot instead of having time to "digest" the different choices. Vasily did point me to the nearest hardwood supplier so I can get the colors and try out for myself but I would have preferred to see more floor samples "live" for the money I was paying.
