We had some brand new windows that we wanted stained. And while we were at it we figured we could…read moreso some interior painting and some touch up on the exterior. Mike Malone came out, gave good spiel and gave us an estimate. Mike boasted to us that he had a hotshot staining crew. The crew that came out were very nice and friendly. They did a great job on the interior and exterior painting. Mike came out here after and noted some areas on the exterior that needed some more work, so they came back and did the touch ups. The problem was the staining. The crew admitted to us that this was the first time staining. They started on one of the bedrooms and did a lousy job. We found out that this crew was subcontracted. The next day they brought among someone else who knew what he was doing, and showed them how to stain. In the end, most of the rooms looked good, but the first bedroom they were not able to completely clean up their initial mistakes. When we complained to Mike, he said that the subcontractors said they could stain, so he wasn't going to take responsibility. So much for his hot shot staining crew. .

I can recommend Kennedy painting without hesitation (which is why, I assume, that they were…read morerecommended to me by two other people.) Kennedy painted our large kitchen, including walls, ceiling, baseboards and trim, interior door to the garage, window sills, chair rail and door frames. Start to finish, the work took a day and a half Dave, our painter, exceeded expectations in every way, even offering assistance in ways we did not expect. Dave did a beautiful job with the work. He worked cleanly, being careful to protect surfaces as he worked and was very patient about a mix-up regarding paint color that was 100% our fault. This is a well-run, highly professional, reputable and reliable organization. Calls were promptly returned. Appointments were always kept. Their bid was not the lowest, nor were they the highest, but the cost was reasonable considering the truly excellent work done by everyone we dealt with - from the office staff, to the estimator and to, of course, Dave.

Choosing a home with the original wood floors was a must-have for us. When we moved into our 1895…read moreTower Grove East home a couple years ago, it had exactly what we were looking for--beautiful heart pine floors throughout--but they were in rough shape. They showed years of deferred maintenance, damage from the previous owners' pets, and a few footprints from their DIY refinishing job-gone-wrong. After speaking with a few companies, we were skeptical of whether we'd be able to bring these old floors back to life. When we met Jim at Abeln Floor Systems, we instantly saw that he was passionate about restoration. His expertise is unparalleled and we knew he was the right person for this job. Jim also had an inventory that would help us repair a few tricky areas that required special attention and odd-sized boards. We kicked off the job by doing a walkthrough with both Jim and his crew member Kenny. This ensured we had a shared expectation of outcomes and gave us all the opportunity to flag any areas of concern before the work started. Throughout the process, both Jim and Kenny were incredibly transparent and proactive with their communications; we received a daily check in call to share updates, ask questions, and confirm we were satisfied with the work so far. I couldn't imagine a better outcome and my biggest regret is that we didn't do this project sooner. I mean, look at the pictures!! The floors are immaculate and have made such a significant impact in restoring this home's character. Jim and Kenny were both amazing to work with and I'm so thankful that we were able to do this project with them. If you are looking for high-quality outcomes and a trustworthy crew, look no further. This is the best team you could hire in greater St. Louis.

I would highly recommend Jim and his group for any floor project you need. Our home is an older…read moreVictorian home in Webster, ~120 years old. We have wood floors throughout, except for for whatever reason two of the bedrooms they put this carpet into the middle... Which, of course when we moved in one of our dogs promptly decided to use as a bathroom whenever she wanted. The carpet didn't look great, didn't smell great, collects dust all that bad stuff. Plus, it just didn't match the rest of the house. Jim was able to come in here and start on Tuesday and by Saturday the floors were ready and we could move the furniture back in. The finished product looks amazing and they were just a really good group of people to work with. If you're going to have somebody in your home for a few days in a row it definitely helps to have friendly and trustworthy people. I would highly recommend him to anybody.

After a successful and responsive refinishing project I had high hopes for painting of my interior…read morehome. All started well enough, and we got things started. I was under the impression that these were direct employees of his, his crew. Basically he was acting as a general contractor that hired another company or hired some people looking for work. Not really sure here. I realize I made some changes, but they were clear and written in a revised proposal. I didn't want the doors painted, then I got a phone call that they were painted. Sure, he didn't charge me for this, but that is proper after all. I didn't want the trim painted, and paid for that, because I missed it in the proposal. My fault. They also painted the hardware for opening/closing the windows, those were metal and need the proper paint, I did have them take that off. The house didn't have flooring in, so I was asked about drop cloths, I said use them but don't worry too much about a few paint splatters. However, I did indicate that I wasn't removing the slate flooring and to be careful. Here is a big fail, many paint spots. He tried to have them clean it up. Now the floor is sticky, you can here the soles of your shoes and feel it too. He tried cleaning that up, when it wasn't done, he offered to do it again. I really felt he had done enough. I'm still trying to find a way to clean this up, because it's sticky any dust or what not sticks to it. It's really upsetting, as I loved this detail. I will look to bring in some professionals and see what this will set me back. There's also spots on the bathroom floors, which were also said that I wasn't removing. And those doors that were painted, they weren't dry and were closed, now that paint has popped off, so I have to touch that up, or maybe just start replacing doors. I realize also this review is a year since the work was done, I was in the middle of doing the rest of the work this last year. I almost considered them for doing the kitchen rehab. I really feel I dodged a bullet there. Noah, is a nice man, I think his intentions are good. However, the whole interior project was a mess, left me very frustrated, and I have projects left to do because of it. I don't think he checked up on the work as it was being done, and I don't think he looked at it after until I contacted him. Paint shouldn't have been on that slate, nor should you stick to your floor. I also had to point on paint spots on light fixtures, that should've been cleaned. Just no.
