It was a large project! We live in a neighborhood of 1.5M+ homes and were haggled and up charged by other vendors ..our advice, save the headache with other companies and just call Guardian. Their knowledge, skill, precision, punctuality and customer service is top notch. From the beginning to the end of the project they have guided us and have done an immaculate job. We had dark cherry woods to work with and wanted to tone down the color but also allow it to flow with our dark staircase and blend into the new. They aided in finding a match that coordinated and flowed without taking away from the home. It's rare to find the tenacity and quality this company exudes. Typically everything is subcontracted out with most companies which is not the case with Guardian. The owners are hands on and invested in the project just as much their team is. And an added bonus they have a veteran on the team!

Dave & Kristen were wonderful to work with on our restoration of the original hardwood floors in…read moreour 1861 Victorian! My husband and & I pulled up the existing old carpet and discovered the hardwood floors were still in good condition! Those old floors seemed to have potential and we just couldn't bring ourselves to hide them again under carpeting. We contacted Guardian Flooring Advancements to see what our options would be to have the floors refinished. WOW!!! What a wonderful, amazing job!!! They sanded, stained, and put the final coat on those old hardwood floors. They made those 157 year old floors look practically brand new!!

I'll try to explain this "Not Good" rating as briefly as possible. If there was an option for…read more"Sucked" it would be more appropriate. In short, this man took my $2000 deposit, and over nearly two years (pre-COVID), failed to complete a single task in the contract. I asked for my money back and sent a demand letter. Dave gave excuses such as other jobs running over, personal injuries/limitations, family health issues, etc. He complained about how many times he had to come to my house to talk about the plans. While I admit that I did have an evolving vision that sometimes needed a face to face discussion, most of his trips were for his benefit, not mine (e.g., had to re-measure several times and even asked me to take measures to send). He stated that his right to keep the deposit was based on work already done. I never saw anything done. He also tried to withhold some of my items as "collateral" and in legal terms, that's called theft. I eventually had to make a trip to his workshop to pick up my property. I cannot speak to the quality of Dave's work, but I can share with you that he took advantage of someone in a state of grieving. I felt bad for each of his reasons as to why he couldn't finish the project because I was in a fragile state. In hindsight, I was manipulated. Dave may respond to this with unsubstantiated excuses. Near the end of my correspondence wit Dave, he sent me a final invoice that was $4000 over my quoted price stating that the job had caused him extra work and travel that was not anticipate. Again, I share with you that he NEVER DID ANYTHING in my house. Please choose a different carpenter to save yourself some time and money, and some very likely heartache.

So far...excellent !…read more Recently had a former employee liberate much of my belongings....mercifully being too damn stupid to steal the antiques... ...however...they did manage to damage. ..including cutting open seat cushions ??

Dave came over the next day...looked at everything...made appropriate cooing noises....and said "yup...there is an app for that !" ....shocker of all shockers....he actually shot me an estimate later that day...in other words he exceeded what he said he would do...must be something wrong with him ?? The estimate was less than I expected...and..he showed up the next day to pick up the items....and....get this....ON TIME ! definitely something wrong with him....really....what contractor shows up on time ?? most have graduated summa cum laude from the Comcast school of rank non-professionalism.

We have used Footprints Floors multiple times when replacing carpet with LVP flooring. They have…read morealways done an amazing job! And they did not disappoint once again. The people who work here truly care and are great at what they do! We recently had a water leak downstairs resulting in replacing the 4 year old LVP flooring with new LVP. They were able to get us on the calendar last week and finish laying the floor. So thankful they could do this done before Thanksgiving. We will be having them come back in January and do our stairs.

I had a very disappointing experience with Footprints Flooring and Kyle Wood. I felt misled…read morethroughout the process. When I questioned concerns about the job, Kyle called his laborer and told him to leave. At that point, most of my floors had only been sanded, and no one communicated whether or when they were coming back. I was left with my house torn apart and no answers. Kyle then stopped communicating with me directly and blocked me from speaking with him, despite already having half of my payment. I was also threatened with a lien on my house if I did not pay the remaining balance, even though the work was incomplete and there were clear issues. The contract stated they would water-pop the floors and protect my home by taping and covering belongings, but none of that was done. Eventually, my husband convinced Kyle to return and finish the job. Kyle told me they would purchase HD Bona Traffic finish, but that never happened, and I had to go back to the store and buy it myself. To make matters worse, the subcontractor left areas under the stove and refrigerator unfinished. Kyle also told me not to speak to the subcontractor directly, leaving me with no way to address concerns or discuss incomplete work. In the end, I was charged for services that were either not completed or not performed as promised. Based on my experience, communication, professionalism, and follow-through were major issues.

This job also included installing new wood stair treads and stair landing. Everything matches PERFECTLY, and everyone was great to work with from start to finish. I recommend them to so many people - they are with you through the entire process of planning, color selection, etc. and also are happy to answer any questions!

We have solid oak floors that were 22 years old. Denny and his crew came and re-sanded the floors,…read moreand replaced the carpeting in the living room and dining room with matching oak. Then they refinished everything. It looks spectacular! You can't tell that there was carpeting in the other rooms, everything flows seamlessly. We changed the finish color, and asked the guys to help us figure out what color to use. They asked us a few questions, and then came back from the truck with 4 colors, and all 4 seemed perfect. They really simplified the decision making process for us, which we really appreciated. They accommodated our schedule, so we could be out of town while they worked. We didn't worry a bit about being away when they came. Came back to beautiful gleaming floors! Denny and the entire crew are extremely polite, professional, and very patient (we had lots of questions). I am so glad we called them! I highly recommend them and would definitely have them back, if we need this done again. Thank you, Denny!
