Where do I begin. I contracted Dominion Floors to do the entire floor renovation for my house: Sanding/staining, Hardwood removal/installation, and carpet installation. They aren't exactly cheap, but considering they have been around for a while, I thought I was getting industry professionals. Little did I know I'd have no other option but to file a criminal fraud/theft report on a company like this.
Sanding/staining: The work completed was solid. No complaints here. EXCEPT that the workers had a 10 year old kid in the house during the whole process, inhaling those toxic fumes, and making figurines out of our caulking. These creative action figures were left throughout the entire house, to include on top of our new appliances and cabinets. He also decided to play Luke Skywalker with our shower rod, ultimately breaking it. To add to the frustration, they changed the settings on our thermostat and lowered it to 50. So, if you don't mind your house being a daycare and want a decent sanding/staining job, go ahead and use them.
Carpet installation: The work completed was mediocre. I placed the order for my carpet and was told it was in stock and ready. Two weeks pass and still no carpet. Turns out they forgot to place my order, yet were so quick to take my money. The transitions are more noticeable than I had expected, but carpet is carpet. There were no wrinkles and the job was acceptable. My only complaint here is they cut the baseboards inside our home, despite being asked not to cut wood inside the home. This created a heavy layer of sawdust on the vents and walls. I found it to be extremely rude especially since I was 8 months pregnant at the time.
Hardwood removal/installation: The work completed was mediocre at best. Throughout the whole process I had to stay on top of them to point out flaws and significant gaps between the boards. We even had the manager, Ken, come to our home to look at the issues. The workers were very inconsiderate and would even cut the boards inside our home! Once instructed to stop this practice, they would cut the boards outside but leave the doors open so the sawdust would float in anyway. They then tried to tell me the job was complete with boards and trim missing from the landing step, blaming another contractor. After showing the manager the before and after pictures of their work, they conceded and took another month before they finally came to our home--but blamed a missing piece for not completing the work. They then asked for a goodwill payment for the remaining balance since all was left was a landing step. Despite the fact that their contract stipulates full payment when work is completed, I wanted to be nice and authorized a $3,000 charge and paid with my credit card over the phone. Big mistake. A couple weeks later I still hadn't heard from them but receive a hit on my credit card for over $900. I contact them the next day to explain the severe fraudulence of this unauthorized transaction, and they were quick to apologize, blaming a third party. Three days pass and I still don't have the funds back into my account. Ally, another manager, apologized and blamed a power outage in his office for this. So much for the third party lie. He then scheduled the job completion for that same day and asked if it was necessary to reimburse me. Clearly he didn't get the point. I am not at all surprised, but the crew never came despite making the appointment, and I still have not received the funds back into my account. I cannot believe I have no other option but to file a criminal fraud/theft report on Dominion Floors.
I am not one to write a review, but I felt a responsibility to warn the general public of these weasels. Overall, I would not recommend this company even to my worst enemy. read more
