Its written customer reviews on Angi date from 2006 to 2016. In a 2016 review, owners of a 1910 Craftsman wrote that John and his crew restored and refinished original southern pine and newer oak floors, and reattached some molding that had come unglued. Another 2016 review says a 17-year-old floor that had never been refinished looked new afterward and the price was very reasonable. In a 2014 review, a customer who got several estimates called John the most knowledgeable. In a 2008 review, a customer described a 100-year-old staircase made to look new with a custom stain color matched to the home. There are a few older complaints. In a 2006 review, a customer wrote that the workers were late at first and that small bubbles of excess polyurethane had to be rubbed off the floors, which felt gritty in places. In a 2007 review of a bamboo floor installation, a customer said there were a few problems during the installation but everything was taken care of and they were kept well informed.
