Jason and Jacob are not JUST contractors, they are artist and true craftsmen. They took my my poor water damaged oak wood floors and turned them into the beautiful canvas it is today. My insurance adjuster was sure the whole floor would need to be replaced...they were able to weave in new boards and it turned out perfectly. read more

We were moving to Traverse City from out of state and on a very abbreviated timeline between closing on our 118 year old house and moving in. Jason and his team from Practical Renovations squeezed us in and were working the day after we closed. Within a couple of weeks, they had refinished existing floors, ripped up old carpet and installed new hardwood to blend flawlessly with the refinished flooring. Everything is and was perfect. Additionally, Jason is a valuable resource and recommended other local contractors that proved to be as valuable as he is/was. Cannot recommend Practical Renovations enough....truly outstanding. read more

Jason and his team (Ethan & Cole) were fantastic. If you want a lot of talk and frills then Practical Renovations is not for you. If you want customer-centric professionals that will give you advice and suggestions based on decades of experience and if you want polite, timely, extremely hard working and amazing craftsmanship...this is the team for you. I am restoring a MCM home in Traverse City and the floor installation was a very integral part that had to be right. They nailed it. read more

shocking how naive these "floor/wood stair tread installer(s) are. I am a builder and have seen their work. It is angering to see such hack work. All they are about is making a buck!!! no care is given to quality. read more

Love my new and refinished floors from Practical Renovations! They replaced the entire kitchen and refinished 2 other rooms. Jason and his team were super professional! I'd use them again. read more

Jason and his team bring passion and a personal commitment to detail and doing things the right way. We are new to the area and worked a referral network to come to Jason, and are so glad we did. Our floors were stained badly with dog urine and water in addition to surface damage that accumulated with big dogs and related wear. It is so comforting to work with someone that tells us like it is and follows through exactly. Jason coached us through what was needed, coordinated with our other contractors and leaves us with gorgeous floors that will wear very well in the years ahead. We would go to him first if we have needs again, and recommend him highly. read more

I am contractor who has always installed my own floors. In the interest of time, I decided to sub the finishing/ refinishing of some floors on a job in Traverse City. Wish I had thought of Practical Renovations sooner! Jason and his team did a phenomenal job- fast, quality, professional in every way. Showed up when they said they would and got the job done (beautifully) ahead of schedule. These are my go-to guys for floors from now on. Very well done and a pleasure to work with! read more

The team crushed a difficult project of restoring floors that hadn't seen the light of day in over 100 years! Took their time, but got it done right and on time/on budget! read more

I rarely give a 1 star rating, but in this case, it's much higher than I would like...ZERO stars would be more appropriate. A simple remodel turned into a nightmare after jason and his crew attempted to refinish the flooring in my business lounge. The original flooring is a high quality oak, and jason came out on the scheduled day and time, and talked me into a complete stripping and refinish, but when he was done, the entire floor needed replacing due do the machine marks that gouged into the material. needless to say, the original planking was ruined and needed to be removed. ...it's still not done yet, and after several calls, I just cannot trust jason to show up and complete the job. fail on every level, and I would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

Great experience! Jason and his team were phenomenal to work with from initial walk through to finished product. We added new wood floors that had to be blended in with wood floors that had been there for over 15 years and had to be refinished. In the end it looked like they were all new and installed at the same time! They managed the flow of the project very well and having a home office that was important. Very transparent and honest in all communications and kept me in the loop with what was coming next. Open to all my questions at any time too. It was nice knowing I could trust them and they were very focused on providing a great finished product. Will definitely work with them again and have no hesitation recommending Practical Renovations Wood Floors. read more
