I ended up hiring Niagara Hardwood to refinish my floors. Overall, they did a solid job in 3 days…read morethe quote was reasonable. They kept to schedule and finished the job to let the floors cure. The floors turned out beautiful and I really love the finish and it adds so much brightness to my upstairs. Why the 4-stars? ~~ Although the quote included closets, one closet I noticed wasn't done after they finished the first quote. After I pointed this out to them, they did it, but it only ended up with 2 coats instead of the 3 originally promised. It doesn't look as good in the closets with the 3 coats and overall the closets don't look as nice as the main floors. I also accidentally put a little scratch on the floor when moving some furniture back. I texted them to see if they would fix it and they quoted me a reasonable amount and said they would contact me, but haven't followed up with me yet. I guess they probably forgot and the otis might be on me to try them again. Either way, some small things and overall a wonderful job done! I'd definitely recommend them for your flooring installing/refinishing needs!

They also supplied the subway tile for both bathrooms. The service was fantastic from start to finish. There was one small issue where some mortar from the tile work had been left in the backyard, and when I mentioned it to Jack, he had someone over right away to take care of it. It was cleaned up quickly with no hassle, which I really appreciated. It has now been about 6 or 7 years, and everything still looks great. The vinyl wood-look flooring upstairs has held up beautifully, even with pets running around and their scratchy little claws, and the tile still looks fantastic as well. I'm really happy with both the quality of the products and the level of service we received. I would absolutely recommend J&L Flooring to anyone looking for reliable work and flooring that lasts.

J &L Flooring was Impossible to deal with, very poor customer service. Jody , the sales rep ,…read morewas interested in only giving me her suggestions without respect for hearing mine. it was clear that she was unwilling to listen . I would not recommend them . In my opinion it is the worse customer service that I have ever encountered.. Here is a chronology of events. A little long but necessary to explain the chain of events. Several wks ago I requested J&L to provide an estimate for installation of hardwood floor to my bedroom and stairs. Jack came out . At that juncture, I requested two separate estimates as I was not certain that I could do both projects immediately. The total cost for both was approximately $11,500. I got a second estimate for the bedroom that came in $515 less than their estimate. So, i requested ,and Jody agreed , to reduce their estimate by $600 with the understanding that both projects would be completed together. I was concerned and needed assurance that the installer would install the floor in alignment to my existing floor. Jody informed me that she could not guarantee that as the hardwood distributor was now using laser and the plank could be off by 1/8 of an inch. I suggested that she call the distributor and ask them to send a sample to see what the width would be. She informed that I would have to order a box. That made no sense and I told her so. Then I inquired whether the installer could come by and offer his opinion as to whether he could do the alignment. Jody's response was that I would need to sign the contract and they would order the material before the installer could come out. That made absolutely no sense. She then stated that she would talk to the installer and get back to me. Shortly thereafter she emailed me and requested some photos to show the installer and she promised to get back to me. Four days later I had not heard from her so I emailed her. She then informed that she believed the installer could do the floor in alignment but no assurance that the alignment would be perfect. However, for $150 the installer could come out to my house and render his opinion.. I then suggested what I believed was. ' a perfect solution'. Do the stairs first. In that way, we would have a sample of the hardwood and the installer would give his opinion re.the other floor then. She immediately became defensive stating that the amount we agreed on was conditional upon both projects to be completed simultaneously and that she would have to talk to Jack. I was prepared to pay the original estimated amount for the stairs as there was only a $100 deduction offered .Later that day I received an e mail informing me that they no longer wished to proceed with the project. Ostensibly, their perception and interpretation of my questions was that I was a difficult client. Not so. I merely asked questions that any customer would ask prior to committing to a project that cost $11,500. Their attitude throughout was ' we are the experts and the customer's opinion is irrelevant ".

Donald is a passionate man with a lot of years of experience and he is one of the best refinishers in WNY. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience working with him. He refinished my floors and reglazed/cleaned up a really decrepit bathroom, which the previous homeowner left covered in literal crap and feces. He did all this within a day of the time he said he would, so his craftsman and quality of work are a solid 4.5-stars. He can literally transform your old tiles in your bathroom and make them look brand new with a different color saving you money from ripping your tiles out and installing new ones. He can do one of the best floor jobs in the area as far as sanding goes, although not without imperfections (but he would probably be upset at you if you pointed them out). However, our relationship fell apart when at the end of the job he asked for $450 more than what he quoted on paper because of the excellent work he did. He claimed he would be "really disappointed" if he didn't get paid that extra $450 and practically tried to emotionally bully me into doing so, going as far as threatening not to work on another project for my wife that he already previously discussed with her. I ended up paying him $300 over the quote and I don't even think he was happy about that. Not once throughout the job did he call and say it would be more. We did talk about some extras like some simple shoe molding, but he said it wouldn't be more than "300 max" and then asked for 450 more without putting the shoe molding on (because I told him not to at the beginning of the job). I think we had a misunderstanding and miscommunication, because when I told him not to put the shoe molding in--I assumed that the job would cost the amount he quoted on paper. I wouldn't have minded paying him if he communicated throughout the job that it would be extra to put some transitional pieces of wood in. To his credit, he did put a super nice transitional piece of beautiful wood to cover the transition from tile to staircase and did an incredible job with it and the pieces from staircase to living room. Those were honestly worth the extra $$$, but it's just the lack of communication that had me upset and then the unwillingness to listen to the customer. He went as far as hanging up on me when I tried to discuss it with him. So overall, if you can put up with a temperamental artist - Donald is your man because he does beautiful work, but he's not that great at the customer-facing side of the business.

I could not be more pleased with his work in refinishing our floors.

Jeff and Nick did an amazing job replacing stained and damaged wood. In areas where the floors were uneven, they went the extra mile to take down our doors and trim the bottoms. They also helped take apart a very heavy table to move into another room. Overall, these guys are excellent. Highly recommend! .
