Jimmy's crew arrived to my 1890s farmhouse on time & had begun work within just a few minutes of accessing my home. I swear we'd been chatting for maybe 5 mins with the crew leader, when I started hearing the sound of nails being driven in further by the rest of his crew! They were quick & about their business. I had 5 rooms plus a stairwell & hallway that were completed in just 3 days. Some of the rooms had even been poorly sanded & stained by the previous home owner & there's no evidence of any of that work remaining. The quality of work is beyond impressive, taking my old tired floors of various conditions & making them truly shine. Additionally the price point of this work is unbeatable! Will definitely be using Jimmy Express again on my next project :) read more

Jimmy has been trying to scam us every step of the way. He underestimated the square footage of the room, then told us he would not be finishing it as a result. When my husband spoke with him about it, Jimmy said our business doesn't earn him enough money to care. The worst part is that he came for the final check before the work was finished and YELLED and SWORE at me when I wrote the check to his company instead of him personally. At this point, we informed him that we would pay him once the work was finished (we didn't even expect him to finish the part he underestimated), and he THREATENED us and wouldn't leave the house. How on earth this guy has earned a living with that kind of behavior and service is beyond me. read more

I had previously used Jimmy for a couple low traffic rooms at a cottage and they turned out OK. I hired his crew again do do two other, more high-traffic rooms - with a specific request for 4 coats. The resulting work is very sloppy with brush marks of poly up the wall along all the edges - see sample pics. Additionally, and this might speak to other's experiences regarding durability, though he maintains his crew showed up to apply the 4th coat at 1:30, I arrived at 4:00 to leave a check and the floor was BONE dry - to the extent I was sure they hadn't been there yet so I walked on the floor in socks to adjust the thermostat - and not even the slightest mark was left. He originally told me that morning that his crew would be there very late afternoon and that they would call when they arrived so I could drop the check. I went early to leave the check on the counter and when I texted Jimmy to let him know I'd left the check for when his crew showed up he texted back that they had already finished and I could mail the check. I questioned the legitimacy of this as I don't believe in magic and told him that if I could get the poly he claims to use to try to that point in 2.5 hours I would pay him for the 4th coat - and then I started getting e-mails, texts, and phone calls at 9:30 on a Sunday night insisting he had done it. Now, I paid the man for 4 coats as I don't need the hassle of him calling me at 9:30 on a Sunday night to yell at me again - but I think his magic fast-drying poly isn't all that magical in quality - or maybe it is a scam you be the judge. read more

Bad Bad job! We have 2 dogs and explained wanted very durable coating when refinishing. Was assured product used would stand up. 6 months after work sent pictures of scratching and asked for a visit to review. Jimmy express refused to come see the damage and blamed the dogs. Now an additional year later our floors look worse then before refinishing. That was 16 years of wear. Sent pictures of the additional damage and again asked for a visit. NO answer! Absolutely do not stand by their work. You will be disappointed If they do work for you read more

*** UPDATE: the last 2 floors that Jimmy did have not worn well at all. I will not use him again. *** Jimmy and his crew are fantastic. They do high quality work at a reasonable price. I have had Jimmy sand floors at 3 houses and install a floor at 1 house. I highly recommend him. read more

My name is Michael Kane and I recently had Jimmy Express Floor Sanding to sand our hardwood floors. Wow! They did such a great job! They turned our old hardwood floors and made them look new again! I cant say enough about how good this company is. They were fast, paid attention to detail, and were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Jimmy's to anybody who wants to re-sand their hardwood floors. They also offer a bunch of other flooring services. Give them a call I guarantee you will be happy with the work they do. read more

Fast affordable service and excellent work - leaving 4 stars because Yelp blocks 5 star reviews

Jimmy helped me with a floor install after I started it and ran into trouble. I had used them before for floor sanding only and they were always quick and reliable. Jimmy came over, took a look at the job, gave me a fair price, and had crew there 2 days later. They did a great job and on budget. read more

I rarely write reviews online but this was the WORST job I've ever contracted. I want to save others from what I went through. Previously we had Jimmy and his crew sand our living room floor and they did a great job. Two years later we hired him to sand our kitchen, pantry and dinning room. We were not at home but trusted Jimmy. The team left a HUGE mess in our house. We had to hire professional cleaners. There was dust in the basement and upstairs - as well as footprints upstairs (totally unnecessary to walk all the way through our home for the job). There was stain on our high end cabinets and on our doors. We are replacing a door, repainting our recently painted dinning room AND our kitchen cabinetry can not be fixed. Every time I look at the work that was done I feel disappointed and taken advantage of. The final straw was that they didn't stain or sand under the refrigerator or under the radiators or under the cabinet overhangs - they just left those areas in the old stain. It looks terrible. We will need to have it redone. When I called Jimmy to let him know how upset we were - he took days to come by and kept asking me for payment. When he finally showed up - he yelled at me. I ended up paying for half of the job - but we will need to completely redo the work and some of the damage will never be recovered. DO NOT hire this team. read more

Jimmy refinished our floors two years ago. The floors are in terrible shape, the finish completely worn off, with very little traffic over the two years. Jimmy came out to see and did not take responsibility and only offered to redo them at full price. We do not recommend this company. read more

I had my floors sanded and refinished for $1200 when I first moved into my house in Sept. 2017. They looked really nice at first. Jimmy said he put down 4 layers of finish but, not even one year later, the finish was worn off and it looks like I've lived here for years. I would not recommend them at all. read more

Terrible job. Spent over $2000 to refinish the floors and less than one year later, they look like they have 15 years of wear. Stay away from Jimmy's Express! read more

I had another Flooring Company ( Alpha Flooring) all set up to do the job. It was one thing after the other. Scheduling issues at first and delays because of no-one available to do the job. Complained about what they couldn't do, under radiator, stairs etc. Then we pounded all the nails in and they still wanted to charge me $100/room. And then they called and said it would be $300 more because of lead paint, which was obvious at the estimate in a 1920 house. then they left the job because the caught the sander on a nail/screw that they blamed on me, when they charged me to redo pounding of the nails. I told them to not finish and just leave. I called JIMMY'S EXPRESS and he came right out within 24 hours, estimate, little high, but he scheduled me for the next week. Came exactly on time. Showed up. Did all the hard places! Communicated well! OUTSTANDING JOB!!!! I would definitely would use them again and again! read more

AVOID!!!!! If they damage your property, they will deny it and refuse to compensate! We had the floors of our 3rd floor apartment refinished and one of their crew ruined the surface of the newly restored, vintage porcelain sink in the kitchen. The handle of a sanding machine gouged the front face of the sink - deeply and clear across the length of the basin - and we now must have the entire sink refinished. When I contacted Jimmy about it, he denied it was even possible his crew could be responsible for the damage. At my insistence, he sent someone to look at the sink, but it was a waste of time. They just denied it in a meeting with my husband, this after he left work in the middle of the day to meet them and then waited an hour for them to show up. I called Jimmy again. He told me he would talk to his crew and call me back. I haven't heard from him since. Cost of the job: $2100 Cost of sink repair: $400 read more
