Do you have a wood floor issue? Here are the most common ones.
It should not be! It does depend on who you hire and what type of dust mitigation system that they offer or do not offer. When we started about 21 years ago, not many people used dustless sanding systems or vacuums. Putting a dust bag on the sanders was about it. Now, it is one of our biggest focuses, not only to keep our client's homes and belongings clean, we also want our team members to be safe.
We want to stand apart from other contractors and save YOUR valuable time! How do we do this? First, our website (updated weekly) is LOADED with information for you. Please read through our Blogs, Google Reviews and Gallery so you can get information on our pricing, what our past clients have said about us, as well as get some inspiration for your project. Most clients get the ball rolling by grabbing their smartphone, jumping on our website and click "Get an Estimate". They then take some pictures and measurements of the areas they need assistance with and shoot those over. After that, we will quickly get back to you with some pricing and our availability, so you can work on your schedule and budget. If you choose to proceed, the next step is to do an on-site consultation where we double check all the measurements, go over the project details with the client and make sure nothing was missed. At that point we exchange some paperwork, collect a down payment (to hold your date) then get you on our schedule. We look forward to exceeding your expectations in every way!
