Wood Flooring Rec
Thought I would share my 2 cents about wood flooring recs since I researched the forum for this info before having my work done. I used Verrazano Flooring recently to repair a small area with water damage as well as sand and refinish my floors and I would recommend them. They did a very good job and their rates were comparable to others. Make sure you stay in touch with Frank or John as the work is being done because if you are not satisfied with something they will fix it. (One board of red oak that was used in my repair area did not match the other boards or the existing floor, and they replaced it when I asked them to. As with any job, be very clear about what you want done, inspect the work product, and everything should be fine. Overall, I am very satisfied.

I also have both the door and hardware at my coop in Clinton Hill. Both have layers of paint on them, and I will double check the measurements, but the size seems right.

I measured--it's 30 by 80.5. Let me know if that is of any use.

We *think* that might work, cantaffordcarroll. You have the mechanism and the door or just the door? Is it single panel? And how much do you want for it? Mind if we come by to look at it? Maybe this weekend? Thanks!

It's a single panel door, no mechanism. No cost either. (I don't ever plan on using it and had it on my list to call sanitaiton to see whether any special arrangements were needed to chuck it.)

Are you around today so that my husband could stop by to take a look at it? We'd love to take it off your hands if it will indeed work in our space.

I am not around after work today. If late morning on Sun works, I can give you a call.

That's fine, thanks.

I just used Park Slope Paint Strippers for 2 doors and they did a good job and fast too. Had them back within a week. Mine were only single panel, but all the paint is gone and they only need very minimal sanding. You can find a few other recs for them here on the forum.
