We recently completely a major renovation of our home and because I lived through the headache of finding reliable contractors I wanted to share one of our best.

Richard, is the owner of U.S. Flooring. He always started the day on the job with his crew. He showed up when he said he would, during estimates and during the work. His estimate was also the lowest of the three we got. His crew was extremely careful, fast, and respectful.

He expanded and moved the parquet border in our dining area and did a fantastic job matching the original. He did not oversand anything, and the new oak floor he installed in our hallway fits in beautifully. When his guys used a few short pieces of oak right in the middle of our kitchen, we pointed it out to him and he fixed it right away.

We wanted to use a special German natural finish called Osmo Polyx Oil. He hadn’t done a lot of work with our finish and although he put down the coats according to the instructions, after three weeks of curing the floor still wasn’t fully sealed (the Osmo Polyx product is a penetrating oil and application amount can vary depending on the wood).

Here comes the amazing part. We had paid him in full on the last day of the job and now three weeks later the floor needed another coat. Richard came back immediately after I called him and applied more Osmo Polyx Oil for only the cost of the additional materials.

Now, every guest into our home remarks on the beauty of the floors.
