As soon as the sanding began, it was clear they were uncovering a hidden beauty. We had bought a home with black walnut hardwood that was stained and covered with a finish over 20 years ago. It was scratched and dull. The floor is now beautifully finished to its best. We highly recommend Roy and his dad, they know how to uncover a gem and make it be its best! When no one else would travel to our home, they were happy to help us & meet our timeline.

I recently returned to the world of Yelp and noticed that a number of my reviews from 2017-2018…read morewere taken down. Not sure why Yelp is doing this but I'm going to do my best to rectify the ones that I feel are important. So on to my old (and new) review for Shady Grove Flooring. Because I do have some updates to note :) Here is the review from before: Those of us who are new or existing homeowners know how hard renovations can be. Unexpected problems can pop up anywhere and whatever you plan as far as budget goes...well plan again. With that being said, Shady Grove Flooring was like a breath of fresh air during a very stressful time for my family. Aaron, the owner, was very nice and professional and did his very best to work with us and within our budget. He kept us apprised of every step and made the whole process of installing/renewing wood floors seem easy, when I know it is anything but easy. My mother and father flipped houses when I was in middle and high school so I know enough to be dangerous. Despite my eclectic "knowledge" gleaned from my eccentric parents and obsession with all things HGTV, I did have quite a few questions about my floors. Any questions I brought up to Aaron, he was quick to answer, and he did so in a very friendly, non condescending way. As a woman I have had my fair share of condescending contractors- it seems part and parcel of being a woman and being interested in renovations. Heck, I can't walk into HD a not be talked down to at least once. But Aaron and his team at Shady Grove Flooring were not in any way disrespectful. He took his time to explain to me things I do not understand. I have enough humility to admit that I don't know everything there is to know about wood floors and installing them. After all, I'm a writer. Not a wood floor installer. Shady Grove Flooring were very respectful to me and my family and I felt safe being in the house with them, which is also something that as a woman I have had my share of uncomfortable experiences with. In addition to his friendliness and professionalism, Aaron's work is unparalleled. To be frank, it is gorgeous! I have seen bad flooring jobs before, heck I have lived in them, and I can safely say that the work Shady Grove Flooring did for us was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we agreed upon. Picky Hubby has no complaints when it comes to our floors. And the pricing was reasonable and competitive. I would definitely recommend Shady Grove Flooring to friends and family. Okay so now for updates. Shady Grove Flooring is still as amazing as ever. I don't have them time or inclination to go into the craziness of every step of the install jobs we've had done in the last few years but I can say that SGF has been a gem each time. I'm super picky and indecisive with my flooring choices and even with the stress of COVID, Aaron has not lost his patience with me. He and his team used masks and were very safe when they worked for us during the pandemic, which is good. We had some sub flooring issues where the builders cheaped out on the grout for our bathroom floor. The tile cracked and then there was a giant hole to the crawl space where years of standing water literally ate away at the floor. Aaron fixed the subflooring and gave us a great tile guy to come fix the floors in the bathroom. No more hole in our bathroom or our wallets! Yay Aaron! Yay Shady Grove Flooring! Yay us! PS- the pics show the floor BEFORE SGF fixed it. I didn't get a picture of it after because there is tile over it and well my phone isn't an x-ray phone. Take that one up with Apple. Not me.

My floors are beautiful. I like that the owner was positive and talked through my concerns and…read moreideas with enthusiasm. He made me feel comfortable and I loved his explanation of the process. I wasn't sure about my initial choice of stain and he put more and more stains on the floor until I felt absolutely positive about my choice. Also, I decided to tile a room and he adjusted the bid - wow. I am new to Virginia and I feel like I nailed it with choosing this company. Now, if the plumber would just show up...

I'm very disappointed with my experience with Marshall's Lawn. Last fall, I contacted them about…read moreaeration and planting, and after doing a soil analysis, they specifically recommended Bermuda grass. I was told that Bermuda needs to be planted in the spring and to reach back out at the start of spring 2026. I followed their instructions and contacted them right away (today 3/23/26) since spring began this past weekend, only to be told they can't fit me in until the fall--which completely contradicts what I was originally told about the proper timing for Bermuda grass. To make matters more frustrating, I was then told I should have called 6-8 weeks ago and they could have done it, even though that directly conflicts with their original guidance. Overall, this experience has been very frustrating due to the inconsistent information and lack of follow-through. I was ready to move forward based on their recommendations, but unfortunately, they did not stand by what they initially told me.

We had Skyline install eight Okna 500 series double paned windows on our sun room. They were…read morepunctual for the estimate, measuring, and installation. Plus, they correspond electronically which I love - sorry, I just don't like to talk to people :) We signed the contract in October with a 14-16 week installation schedule due to COVID. They contacted us within that time frame and we were scheduled for install within a week or so of the promised schedule. They were no pressure when giving the estimate. Almost so laid back that I initially thought they didn't need the business since it was a relatively small job! However, it is just their approach which was good. The installers showed up EXACTLY on time. Very polite, clean cut group of men who worked quickly and efficiently. Installed in 3.5 hours! They left the house cleaner than when they came. Seriously :) Windows look wonderful and I would highly recommend the company.

All were happy. Skyline gave me a list of many people who had their windows and agreed to be references! They stood out because their interview was low key, low pressure and full of useful information. One house got the Okna 500 series and a couple of years later, I chose the Okna 800 series. It is now 5 years later and both houses are problem free. It is now time for me to change out my old wood windows and I am again using Skyline. Why? Because Jared, the owner, is helpful and knowledgeable and I can count on him to be sure my experience will be headache free. They are a pleasure to work with, start to finish, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
