Refinish & restore approximately 600sf of original 1964 hardwood floors that had previously been carpeted.
I called Alvaro to give us an estimate on refinishing the hardwood floors in a house we are selling to my brother. He came right out, was right on time & was very friendly. He emailed us the quote immediately as well as went over it with us on the spot. He broke down every cost into separate line items so we could pick & choose what options we wanted or did not want. Alvaro was able to get us on the schedule to have the work done that very next week which was perfect as we were in a serious time crunch. Alvaro & his crew showed up on time each day, were very professional & kind & explained everything they were doing & the time frame in which it would be done. They had originally said the floors would take 3 days from the time they started to the time we could walk on them, but it ended up only taking 2 days! We had done all the carpet tear out & removal of tack strips & staples ourselves to save some money which also saved the crew a lot of time. They had 2 areas of floor that had been cut out for duct work many years ago that they had to patch in & you can't even tell where those spots were now. Also, although all surfaces in the house did need a wipe down later on, I was pretty surprised at how little dust there was. They did a fantastic job & we were stunned at how beautiful the floors turned out. We went with a natural, water base finish & we are so glad we did because all the natural variations in the wood really stand out! Alvaro said that once my brother is in the house for a while, if anything turns up that needs attention (any snags, splinters, etc...) to call him & they will come back out to fix it. So far there were only a couple of tiny splinters but I'm not sure they're significant enough to call them back out, but I know if they get worse that Alvaro will make it right! We also had Alvaro give us a price on painting the interior of the upstairs & also putting on new baseboards throughout the upstairs but it turned out those just weren't in the budget. The floor refinishing was a very reasonable price for the amount of work & size of the house, but the painting & baseboards did seem to be a bit pricey by comparison. We would certainly use them again for hardwood floor refinishing!
