The owner communicated with me during the entire rebuild process (which took about 1 month). Tracy recommended the "rebuild" and it was well worth the wait! The original cart was damaged laminate and they replicated the damaged wood parts from 100 year old pieces of a piano. Berger Refinishing also delivered the wood cart with brass hardware on time for a gift. They really care about doing quality work and I highly recommend their expertise and attention to detail. Thank you Tracy and Eric!

I brought a curio cabinet door that was damaged during a move to Berger's refinishing. I felt…read morewelcomed into the shop to bring my piece in and have Tracey look at it. He was able to patch the door frame from 4 pieces back into one and it looks great- Better than it did before, actually. It used to have brackets holding a few pieces together, leading me believe it had been damaged before. I needed a replacement piece of curved glass as the original was shattered in the move. While the door frame only took maybe 2-3 weeks for completion, I gave Tracey a few months to search for a curved glass manufacturer. One person he thought may have been able to ended up not being able to and he was unable to find anyone else in the local area to do it which is absolutely at no fault of his own. I was able to find a specialty glass manufacturer who does replacement curved glass for curio cabinets in FL so it all worked out. It was reasonable pricing for the door frame repair with a good turnaround time. If I ever have damaged furniture I would bring it back to Berger's in a heartbeat.

I needed my engineered hardwood floors refinished, and the first company I contacted barely looked…read moreat them before telling me they were too far gone and needed to be replaced. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from Dave's Master Floor Care. Dave carefully inspected the entire floor and explained that refinishing was possible -- and he delivered outstanding results with good value. Dave is thorough and an excellent communicator. He explained the types of wear on my floors and outlined his refinishing strategy step by step. With little room for error on this type of flooring, I appreciated his clear approach -- there's no "undo" button with refinishing! Dave also has tools I've never seen before -- it felt like he had a gadget for every challenge that came up. Plus, he's been doing this for years, so he knows how different stains and woods react. I even learned a bit along the way. And the best part? Dave does the work himself. Sometimes he brings an assistant to help with simple stuff, but you're really hiring him -- not a random crew. After seeing what he did with the floors, I also had him fix some big cracks in my garage and driveway too. Same story: great work, no fuss. If you want someone knowledgeable, equipped, and detail-oriented, I highly recommend Dave's Master Floor Care.

I found Dave through Yelp and, as usual, I am always a little suspicious of contractors I find…read morethrough an app but Dave really put my mind at ease once I spoke to him and heard how knowledgeable he was about flooring. He provided a consultation for my indoor floors, but then I had him also look at my garage floor and he said he was able to do the work I was looking for, which is what I will be reviewing here today. I had a few cracks in my garage floor and was looking to Epoxy it to protect it for the winter. Dave explained to me his process and how it differs from the competition which helps keep his cost low. The best part about Dave was that he stuck to the quote he gave me, with no surprises or additional ask for money, and he started when he said he would, got the job done quick, and finished when he said he would - anyone who has worked with contractors before knows this is a rarity! Dave was respectful and treated the place with care, and I would recommend his work to others. We think the garage looks great! Dave is passionate about his work and did tend to over-explain some things to me, so some people might enjoy that more than others but it was great to hear how much he knew about the subject!

I have Berber carpets which were in good condition but had a lot of staining and they were able to resolve all of my problems. Interestingly enough they do NOT move furniture, but they told me that ahead of time and I had plenty of advance notice to move things out of the way which enabled them to get to all the corners of every room.

A few years ago, we had a brass bed repaired and re-plated at Brinkman's. It was not cheap, but…read moreVern assured us the finish would hold up for many years. It didn't. My wife uses scented spray on the sheets and pillow cases and the over-spray was causing dark spots on the finish. We brought the bed back into the shop, accepted responsibility for the issue and agreed on a price for the repair. After 10 months waiting, it was obvious Vern had no intention of performing the repair. If he wasn't happy with the agreed on price, Vern should have let us know there was an issue, but he did not. I picked up the bed, un-repaired, soot and dirt covered from sitting all that time unprotected in the back shop. We will clean up the bed and use it again, but what a terrible experience.

After getting a few quotes from painters around the Cities, we decided to go with Classic Finishes…read moreto paint our hallway/stairway and living room. They scheduled our quote really quickly, which was nice. Once we accepted the quote, it did take a bit to hear back (I followed up a couple of times via email) to schedule. The paint crew just left after completing the job and it looks amazing! They were super polite & friendly, & asked for clarification on a couple of things, rather than just assuming. The job was done before noon &, other than the new paint color, it looks like they were never here. All in all, I'd say we got some bang for our buck & would hire these guys again!

Those won't be done for another 2 weeks and they are saying we need to pay for half the cost of the new doors. There are paint drips and places that are really rough. When the first guy came out to give us a quote we were told they could give us a mock up with different paint colors and that the project manager would be here day 1 and the last day to oversee things. None of that has happened. We had to call 2 days before the project was supposed to start to ask if they wanted to know the paint color we had chosen. I was so excited to start our remodel and it has been a really disappointing and frustrating experience.
