L A Hardwood Floors

Let me first write, I agree with the previous poster about how fast the guy is. He came and got my floors done b4 my move in date. That’s the one star; however, Miguel (contracted worker) showed up 2 hours late on the first day. Don’t even get me started about how long I waited for the owner to come for the initial appraisal (late 3 hours) So I ask the owner Camilo how long his guys work. He said they’ll be there 9 – 5. I came home at 430 and looks like they left early. Check the work and it looked decent so I left. Came back the next day to pay, which Camilo wanted all in cash when his site says visa or mastercard… So I went and got cash. I couldn’t tell initially cause I couldn’t walk around; but the next day we did a walk around and the sealant or varnish on numerous spots had pooled up and dried into large dark stains. In addition some spots were not even sanded down. Camilo went ahead and sent his guy back to clean it up. I discussed with Camilo how the floors feel grainy and I doubt 3 coats of poly was applied as stated and he said yea it was; 3 coats were applied. I let the guy clean up his stains and re apply the poly; compared to the rest of the floors those spots that they messed up on and were reapplied with poly looked and feel like theyre suppose to. The rest of my floors feel grainy and scratch easily. Its sad and poor taste/​unprofessional when a company argues the satisfaction of the customer. I should of went with my gut and dismissed them from the get go when they were late. Also when talking to his guy Miguel about reapplying a coat of poly he tried to charge me $ 300 on the side he said. I shook my head and said thanks for nothing. I will be putting up this review on yahoo and Google reviews so people are aware. Also… If u do decide to go with them. I’d advised to be there the whole time to watch how many layers of poly they put. Looks like I’m ago in to have to get my floors rescreened and redone by a professional.

My floors look great! Even better was how LA Hardwood Floors stepped in at a reasonable price when my original hardwood flooring contractor flaked on me. Here is the story: I bought a place and wanted to update it a little, which included sanding, staining and sealing the floors, before moving in. Unfortunately, my flooring contractor didn’t show up the morning he was supposed to, which was a HUGE problem because I had allotted him JUST enough time to sand, stain and seal the floor (as well as a day or two let it dry) before my movers came. So, I was stuck with the following choices (1) find someone on the fly at a reasonable price or (2) just live with the flooring the way it was (it wasn’t pretty). After calling a number of contractors (all of whom either were unavailable, couldn’t get it done in time or wanted too much money) I found LA Hardwood Floors. The owner Camilo (I think he was the owner) came out that day and told me that he could start right away. He also agreed to work extra long hours so that I could meet my schedule. He performed as promised and I am happy with the results.
