This is my second experience with Rick Short flooring who was recommended to me by multiple people…read moreincluding a New Pal realtor. Rick's team re-floors my entire home. New coreTec flooring on the main floor. New carpet and coreTec in four bedrooms. The coreTec looks awesome. The new carpet looks really good. Considering we redid the whole house I'm very pleased with the expense. I also want to point out that the lady who rated Rick a 1 star has given three reviews in one year. All 1 star reviews. It's also super insensitive to negatively impact a business when the owner wasn't raised in the "pc" world people are raised in today. Much less complaint about terms of endearment. As a genXer myself I'm scratching my head on that one.

If you are looking to be called Honey & Sweetheart then this is the place for you…read more Owner finally showed up 35 minutes late. He later walked out of my home w/o doing estimate because I told him my name is ___________ & not to call me Honey or Sweetheart. He said I would never find anyone to work with me. Hmmm it's carpet restretching................I had estimates and a job booked an hour later. It's 2018, this is not how you treat customers or women. You need to properly address people. I actually found this hilarious how he couldn't function when called out on his degrading behavior.

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.

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.

He removed the old wood, cleaned the area and spayed for mold, laid down a vapor shield, laid down the new wood planks, and replaced trim.

I will definitely be calling him again for any flooring needs. -Scott

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!
