I had just completed remodeling our kitchen and the only task left was to refinish and patch the…read morehardwood floors. I had torn them up in a few places, but overall, they showed 30yrs of wear and tear. I had thoughts of doing this work myself as well, but my wife reminded me that summer was coming, and I needed to be done with the project. It would probably an understatement if I said that I am picky, which is why I like to do my own remodeling and wanted to refinish the floors myself. So, we contracted with Doug and All About Hardwood. To be honest, I was a little nervous... but also willing to let a little bit go so I could be done. The short story... the job is done, and we could not be more pleased. They began by replacing oak boards where necessary and laced the new ones in in such a way that the repair is completely undetectable. Then they removed all shoe trim, sanded the entire oak floor, applied the stain that we requested and finished with a couple of coats of sealant or what I would call clear coats. The refinishing crew as led by Sam. The crew was very easy to talk to, answered all questions, arrived on time and did an all-around awesome job. The final task by All about Hardwood was to add new shoe molding. Honestly, this made me the most nervous as a crappy job here would make the whole kitchen look bad. I resigned myself to hoping that the job would be "good enough", and that I would putty where I had to and/or replace pieces if they were "that bad". The trim guy, Mike (I think was his name) was awesome. His trim work was awesome (sorry, I know I have repeated that word a few times in this review). I have done trim work part-time for over thirty years, and I am a very tough judge when it comes to fit, miters, etc. To be honest, red flags went up when Mike told me that he never "copes" his miter cuts. This scared me. But the finished miters speak for themselves... no gaps!! I asked Mike how he got them so tight, and he commented that he just adds or subtracts and degree or two when he has to. Color me impressed!! The only downside to the whole job, is that Mike did not have putty with him that matches the shoe molding. He offered to come back, but I told him I would finish it myself. I bring this up only because his trim job was so good, i.e. the miters in the corners are so tight, that no putty is necessary. All that is left for me to do is putty his nail holes (whole job will take less than 15 minutes). As an aside.... I have read several negative reviews on here that do not appear to reflect the same company that I worked with on this project. Hmmm...??? Obviously, I cannot speak for anyone else or cannot speak about anyone else's project other than my own. I can only say that I am completely happy with the results at our house and would highly recommend this crew and company to anybody that will listen to me.

Doug the owner is a nice guy. I had him do my previous home and things went well so I asked him…read moreback to do a new home we purchased. Unfortunately things didn't go nearly as well. We had existing wood floors but we wanted hardwood added to our dining room, hallway from garage, and a half bath. since we were adding these in we had the entire floor resurfaced and stained. Two big issues and neither addressed once they were done. I called Doug, emailed he and his office. sent images of the two issues. I even text him but I couldn't get them back out here. First issue was in the dining room where the hand sanding near the wall and the rest of the floor were not matched so when they stained it, I have about 12" out from the wall all the way down that doesn't match. I know this requires resending everything to do over again but they need to stick to their quality of work and the last message I got was there's no easy fix, what do I want to do about it? I stated I want it fixed and never got a response. The second issue is boards buckling in my living room. This was existing hardwood when the home was built. I took pictures and sent them to Doug amd all he said is that's from water damage. I cut holes in my ceiling below and there was no water. I had a plumber out do a scan and there's no water leaking. I had an HVAC person out to look for condensation and nothing found. I cut holes walls to look for water and none found. I had contractors out and the consensus is the time the exposed the hardwood sanding it down absorbed moisture and the stain on top trapped it in. Have still never heard from Doug. Spent nearly $20,000 with him and the guy got his cash and was done. If all goes well, the team was pretty good. but if it doesn't, plan to live with the result or pay someone else to fix it later.

This can cause issues when installing a new toilet which we did this year. The sanding around door frames and cabinets leaves impressions in the floor which are noticeable to anyone that appreciates fine woodworking.

Their staff is completely professional, the selection of wood and laminate is solid, and their installers are friendly.

We reached out to Jimmy, the owner of Totally Frameless Shower Doors, using his "contact me" on is website and heard back from him within 30 minutes. We promptly scheduled a consultation for that evening, and from the moment we met him, we were so excited to work with him. Not only did Jimmy provide us photos of prior work, talk through everything with us, and explain things in a very easy to understand way, but he was so transparent and so open and honest with us. From our first conversation, he felt like someone that we would trust with eery aspect of work on our home! We received an estimate at our consultation, which was very close to our final cost. He immediately got to work, completed the first stage of the installation. As soon as our hardware and glass came in, he was there the next day (when convenient for us) to install our shower door! The finished result was PERFECT and we were so pleased with his impeccable attention to detail. Everything-- from the glass to the hardware to the installation-- was done with such care, and looked gorgeous. Our only complaint is that Jimmy doesn't do all sorts of other ventures, because we would hire him for everything!
