Hardwood Floors By Milton

Milton did an excellent job installing new oak floors in my Lake Merritt condo. He worked around several challenging «features» and ensured that the everything made for a nice and tight fit. Milton came back free of charge to make a few adjustments after the cabinets and doors were installed. He has a very detailed eye. I would recommend him to anyone who is installing new floors.

Milton and his crew just refinished the living, dining room and two bedroom floors in a 1908 Victorian in which my wife’s grandmother had lived. The floors were red oak and had 40 plus years of family wear and tear, with the expected heavily worn sections. This guy is a craftsman in floor restoration. The process each day was impressive, but nothing compared to the final outcome. My wife had wanted a sheen that was just above satin, but not quite semi-​gloss. Milton found the perfect blend of products and we’re completely impressed. Having worked with him before, all I’d do is unlock the house and go on with my day. It’s refreshing to work with a craftsman, who is sensitive to what we wanted and passionate enough to get it right. Thanks Milton… this time, you raised your own bar.

I’ve redone three houses now and worked with a lot of subcontractors and Milton is the best subcontractor I’ve ever worked with. His estimate was literally half of what we got from two other places, his work was first rate, and he finished ahead of schedule. The floors went from tired to glowing.
We have parquet floors throughout the first floor and then standard oak in the bedrooms. Parquet is hard because you have to be careful not to leave sanding marks across the grain. He and his guys did it perfectly. Then we also needed another small room (100 sq. ft.) done with new oak flooring and they did a tremendous job with laying that. He fixed several small problems — replacing some water-​damaged boards and tightening up some others — sometimes charging us a few bucks but mostly just fixing them at no additional cost.
He’s also a very fun and pleasant guy. His crew was fun to have in the house as they were laughing and chatting.

Milton is a PRO! He refinished all our floors 12 years ago when we bought the house, and when we finally decided to re-​do our kitchen we were thrilled to have him back.
His estimate was reasonable, and the work was done in less than a week with no delays or hang-​ups. Milton is on the job with his crew at least 80% of the time, and overseeing all aspects of the work, from set-​up to clean-​up.
They helped us move out the appliances, sealed off all the doorways, and kept all the mess contained to the work area. They installed new baseboard, and even did a little prep to make it easier for the painters.
But, back to the floor… it looks amazing! Better than we could have imagined and it leaves us with only one regret: not having done it sooner. If you want a great job, if you want to work directly with the owner of the company, if you want somebody you’ll be happy to have in your house for a week, then call Milton. You’ll thank me later!

Milton recently install hardwood in our kitchen that needed to match our dining room floor. Not only did he do a great job, but I left town and handed him the key. Work was finished on time and beautifully. He was creative where there were small obstacles. I would recommend him.

Milton does an excellent job both with installing and refinishing hardwood floors. He is conscientious, economical, and easy to work with. A gentleman and an excellent worker. We have used him for our own floors and have recommended him to family and clients for the past 20 years.
