We are a medium sized family operated business. Our company consist of 13 employees. We are home of the "100% Dust Free Sanding & Refinishing". The best part is... we don't charge extra for dust free sanding! Cost is determined per job and location. We give free estimates.
The MaxCare guys (different guys for each step in process) were GREAT. Always friendly, professional and on-time. I was skeptical about the "dust-free process", but it was truly dust-free. They left things very clean. MaxCare also has good customer service. For example, at one point far into the process they noticed a problem with the floors, and took the immediate steps to correct it, so they would be perfect. We really appreciated the fact that they pointed it out themselves and redid the work, where as some companies might just try to keep the mistakes and hope the owners don't notice them. The new floors look fantastic. This was our first time doing hardwood floors, so we kind of hoped MaxCare would give us more information and advice on the different types of floors options (different woods, different ways to lay the floors, etc.), but they didn't really offer that up proactively. In other words, do your research up front, so you know what to ask/discuss with them.
Description of Work: MaxCare removed our carpeting and the original pine floor underneath, to install red oak hardwood flooring (board were 4-inches thick). We chose a dark stain (called "antique" brown) and did 3 coats of finish. Price was in line with other quotes we got, if not slightly under.

Their price was very reasonable and their employee, Daryl, did an outstanding job of refinishing and staining the floors. The floors were in horrible condition ...pet stains, water stains, and discoloration. We considered just carpeting the floors since they were in such bad shape. When Maxcare finished the job (on time and with an Angie's List discount) they were absolutely beautiful. I recommend them to everyone!!

Pricing and scheduling with Rachel was pleasant, she called and confirmed the the day before, on both days. Bill arrived both days within the scheduled time frame and his prep work and application was done with great care. His instructions were very clear on how to live with the floor during the curing process and the floors look great.

They all sure knew what they were doing. I changed my mind on the finish just before he was about to put it on, no problem! ''I'll just run back to the shop to pick up what you want and I'll be right back.'' These guys want happy customers!
Description of Work: Max Care sanded, stained, and finished my maple floors in three rooms and two closets. My floors were in terrible shape, and now they are awesome! It was dustless too. I went with the golden oak color, and oil based semi-gloss finish. Just awesome.

MaxCare did an excellent job as usual. I was a little concerned that maybe we didn't have to actually replace the floors, but I don't know enough about flooring to to really know if we were being taken for a ride. I am, however, very happy that we did because we were able to fix squeeking in the sub floor that would might have not been correctable had we just sanded the floors ultra thin. We were also able to save some extra money by removing the old floor ourselves. The floor looks beautiful, the installer and finishers were extrememly professional, friendly and very tidy!! We look foward to having them back next year to refinish our sunroom.
Description of Work: We had originally contracted MaxCare to refinish the existing hardwood floor in the dining room and hallway of our 1929 bungalow. Due to the prior owners and the extensive use of a carpet shampooer, the underlying hardwood floor was very damaged/stained. We were given the option of sanding the floor so thin that they could not be re-sanded/refinished again in the future, installing carpet again or replacing the floor in it's entirety. Since we did not want carpet in our dining room where we eat with our two young children, we opted for the new floor. Problems that we had were if we chose to re-carpet, it would have been more expensive to put in he same carpet that was in the adjoining living room than have a new floor reinstalled. We probably would have not been able to get carpet from the same dye lot. If we chose to sand the floor ultra thin we would eventually have to replace the floor down the road anyway.

Maxcare squeezed me in a couple days after my estimate so that the floors could be completed before we moved in. They worked Friday, Saturday and Monday, and always called to let me know they were coming. The crews were always friendly and the quality of work was excellent. The floors look amazing and get comments from everyone who sees them. The dust-free process is really dust-free, too. We will definitely use them for the upstairs when the time comes.

MaxCare has brought back Customer Service and Craftsmanship in this Service Industry. Andy, the stain expert, matched the stain to our woodwork perfectly. Bill, the second technician, orchestrated the finish coatings to everyone's satisfaction. Professionalism is very evident in the end result, our beautiful floors.
Description of Work: We had our Living Room, Dining Room, Sunroom, Hallway and Stairs not including the risers sanded, stained and buffed. Because we have pets and grandchildren. We asked for 3 coats of protective finish and four coats for the stairs.

We had a wonderful experience with this company. The quoting process was efficient - Tony was incredibly nice. Each day, the crew was on time and efficient and extremely clean. We received phone calls each day from the office letting us know when to expect the crew the next day. They estimated that the job would take 5 days, and it took 5 days. MaxCare advertises dustless sanding, and they mean it! We sealed off doorways and air vents ourselves, but it wasn't necessary... there was no sawdust left anywhere at all. The installation and finish was very high quality - the floor looks gorgeous. Pricing was very competitive with the other two quotes we received - in fact, MaxCare was over $1500 less than one company. We highly recommend this company for wood floor installation and refinishing. Plus, they'll give you an Angie's List discount, which is a bonus.
Description of Work: MaxCare tore out old carpet and installed and finished 3rd grade maple flooring in our living/dining rooms (there was no hardwood floor under the carpet) - it was approximately 455 square feet. For finishing, they used one sealer coat and 3 top coats (their standard is 2 coats, but we have a dog so we paid $180 extra for an additional coat). They also installed primed quarter-round on the baseboards and new thresholds. They removed all the old carpeting and waste.

The guys were all very polite & friendly and arrived within the promised time frame. The cost of the job was reasonable. It was definitely worth paying for instead of spending hours doing it yourself.
Description of Work: The dining room was scratched up from the dog over the past 12 years. I also over watered a plant & didn't realize the water was sitting on the floor for at least a month or maybe 2. That area had a black ring around it, & the boards had separated a bit. The guys came in & got right to work. He replaced the damaged boards & you can't even tell. The floor looks like it is brand new. They were done in about 2 hours. The finisher came by the next day & put 2 coats on & 1 coat the following Monday which was about another 2 hours total.

The refinishing work was good, but the communication with this company was difficult and resulted in a finished product that I was unhappy with. I had verbally requested to the workmen that I wanted 2 coats of oil-based finish, but I later discovered they had put on water-based finish. When I complained, I was treated harshly and told that it was my fault for not calling the office with these changes, speaking to the workmen was not sufficient. I asked for compensation for their mistake, and was told that they would apply a 3rd coat with oil-based poly, but not compensate me with a discount for my inconvenience in having the work time stretched out by 5 days. Laurie, who works the office, was verbally abrasive and unreasonable to work with. This had been a very negative experience with the highly rated company.

Response from Max Care Hardwood Flooring
THE OFFICE IN ANY BUSINESS IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF COMMUNICATION. IF THERE IS A COMPLAINT, OR A CHANGE IN WORK ORDER, OR ANY QUESTIONS, IT SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE OFFICE SO THE SITUATION CAN BE ADDRESSED. ON THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT IT STATED WATER-BASE FINISH. THE CHANGE IN WORK ORDERED WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE OFFICE.

I was impressed by the fact that Tony was able to come to the house to provide an estimate within 2 days of my call. He provided a quote on the spot. I was able to set an appointment to have the work completed within 2 weeks and this was during the Thanksgiving holiday. On the scheduled day, the crew was there right on time. The sanding crew did an excellent job and the finisher did an excellent job. We have 2 more bedrooms to have refinished and they will be the company I will have do the work. I was more than satisfied. Also, I forgot to mention that they have a dust containment system that simply can't be beat. Actually, that was the best part--no cleaning up fine dust particles after the job was done.

THEIR SPECIALTY IS DUST-LESS SANDING SO YOUR HOUSE IS NOT FILLED WITH RESIDUE. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB AND YOUR JAW DROPS WHEN YOU SEE THEM. THEY GAVE US CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEY WERE VERY RESOURCEFUL. THEY WERE REALLY WORKING HARD. THEY GAVE US AN ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT OF $100. THE PRICE REPRESENTS THE COST FOR 3 COATS IN 3 ROOMS FOR THE APARTMENT UNIT.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO CAME TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. HE ARRIVED AT THE APPOINTED TIME AND EVEN CALLED IN ADVANCE TO SAY HE WAS ON THE WAY. HE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS WITH GOOD HUMOR AND MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION. THE 2 MEN WHO CAME TO DO THE SANDING & SEALING WERE EXCELLENT. THEY ALSO CALLED IN ADVANCE AND VERIFIED APPOINTMENT. THEY WORKED SOLIDLY AND ACCOMPLISHED THEIR JOBS IN GOOD TIME AND WITH WONDERFUL RESULTS. THE TEAM WHO DID THE 3RD COAT WERE NOT AS EFFICIENT, BUT DID COME AT THE APPOINTED TIME. SINCE I COULD NOT MOVE MY PIANO OUT OF THE ROOM, IT WAS AGREED TO FINISH AROUND THE AREA, MOVE THE PIANO AWAY, FINISH THAT SPOT AND RETURN THE PIANO. THE FINISH DID NOT EXACTLY MATCH AND AN UNEVEN MARK WAS LEFT IN THE AREA WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE BLENDED. OVERALL, THOUGH, I AM TOTALLY THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS. THE ANGIE'S LIST COUPON WAS HONORED WITHOUT QUESTION. A MINOR PROBLEM WITH CHARGES WAS HANDLED QUICKLY AND TO MY SATISFACTION.

THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS FAIR TO GOOD AND IT DID APPEAR TO BE A TRULY DUSTLESS PROCESS. HOWEVER, WE FOUND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE POOR. THEY LOST THE HOUSE KEY WE GAVE THEM AND HAD TOLD THEM TO RETURN. WE HAD TO CALL THEM 3X BEFORE THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS LOST. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS BUT DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD BE SO CONCERNED. THE ADMINISTRATOR FINALLY SAID THAT THE MANAGER MIGHT APPROVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR A NEW LOCK BUT WE FELT WE HAD ALREADY INVESTED ENOUGH TIME IN THEM AND JUST PAID FOR IT OURSELVES. WE WOULD HAVE FELT BETTER ABOUT THE SITUATION IF WE DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO CALL THEM, IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR CONCERN, IF THE MANAGER COULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND CALLED US AND IF THE OFFER TO REIMBURSE FOR A NEW LOCK WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE INITIALLY.
