The team at Eco Forest Flooring was hired to repair the existing hardwood floors on a property we just purchased. The floors were in really bad shape and there was noticeable stains in some areas of high traffic.
Eco Forest Flooring was able to sand, repair and refinish the existing hardwoods. The team was super friendly and provided good advice during the entire process. I would strongly recommend them Eco Forest Flooring.
Very satisfied customer. The workers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Refinished my motherinlaws living room and hallway floors. Quality of workmanship was fantastic. They kept everything clean and tidy. The prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend them to do your floors satisfaction guaranteed.
I have had problems with contractors in the past, but John and his crew were a dream to work with. John is a professional who believes in customer service and right from the time we met him, he was so friendly and easy to talk to, you feel like you've known him for years! His crew that performed our work (Janel, Josh and Connor) were the most professional and polite fellows and you could see in the work they performed that they have high standards and take pride in their work.
I had old carpet on the floors that had been on there for 46 years and they removed it and refinished the floors and wow!....they look brand new! We had a timeline to work with and John and his crew were very accommodating to meet that timeframe. If I had any questions, I would call John or Janel and if they didn't answer right away, I got a response back from them within 10 minutes; they didn't leave us hanging like some companies would do once they acquire your business.
Also, their pricing is very fair....we were actually surprised at the cost of the project as it came in below what I had budgeted.
I would definitely recommend using Eco Forest if you have any hardwood flooring issues or needs!
I hired Johns company to repair and refinish my hardwood floors during a complete remodel of my home. He came out and took his time to properly assess the job and advised me of my options. I had been given 2 other estimates as I was told to get 3 and choose the best. All three were fairly close in price Eco forest floors was the only company that didn't ask for a large deposit upfront. They were the only company that told me they could get the boards the same size as my 70 year old floors. He told me upfront what the process would entail how long it would take and exactly what he would do. His employees were professional and courteous, and cleaned up after themselves every day. When renovating things can come up that can delay the project. I contacted John 4 times to postpone him and rather than get the hard line story he put me at ease and asked only that I give him a few days notice if I had any delays and he would work around my schedule. Eco-forest floors is simply the best hardwood refinisher period.
John and his team of awesome guys do a fantastic job! The customer service is top notch. The site was always clean when they were done and they were not happy unless I was happy. I would highly recommend this company.
Old hardwood, new install to kitchen and bathroom, stripped and stained in the entire bungalow. Exceptional service as well as perfect job, we have had many compliments on how beautiful our floors are.
I would strongly recommend this company. We have hardwood in all rooms upstairs except Kitchen and was debating to get them redone, or carpet. John told us the floors would look good and they do. Better than we hoped. Price was reasonable and the work was done ahead of schedule.
We called Eco Forest Flooring because our old hardwood floors were in bad shape. We were debating whether to have it replaced all together, but John advised us to get it refinished instead saying it will turn out beautifully. He was friendly and informative and had the gift of patience to answer our many questions. John was right, the end result is as beautifu as he had said, every grain in the wood stands out to be counted.
Thank you John and crew at Eco Forest Flooring.
The work was completed on time and on budget. I contacted John to have him look at the floors about a week after completion as I am concerned about many visible "lines" in the finish. He inspected the floors and assured me those marks were excess varnish and would disappear given the full time to cure, 30-60 days. John also offered to come and fix a couple scratches we incurred with moving furniture back in, so I'm waiting to see if the lines disappear soon for those other small repairs. I'm remaining positive for now but will reserve judgement depending on the outcome of those problem areas.
John has refused to fix the MANY very visible applicator lines or any of the flaws!!! The 20-some tents he took exception to each marked an applicator line or sanding scar on my floors. The lines are approx 16" long and 1/4" wide and are in every room and hallway refinished; mostly in the entrances and usually 3-4 in the same area. So they are VERY noticeable. Although a couple lines were less visible in direct sunlight on the day we inspected them, most were very apparent. I certainly didn't agree otherwise like he states. As I said to him then - I shouldn't need direct sun or an area rug to hide the flaws. Also, there are sanding marks which he denies were done by his workers - but they sanded the floors so who do you think did that?
He shouted at me on the phone for 20 minutes based on my first review where I reserved judgement until the work was completed - saying I had no business writing that there were imperfections. He ranted for some time about a comment I made about the smell, that has nothing to do with the poor workmanship which is the issue. He contradicts himself constantly in his emails offering to fix the problems, then later says the floors are perfect. He wanted me to sign papers admitting to not finding things on a sunny day and that it took me weeks to call and complain when it was 9 days including a long weekend. None of which have anything to do with the poor work.
All this might have been avoided had I not paid so quickly. Waiting a week even with a small fee would have motivated him to fix the problems in a reasonable time. One reason I selected their company was based on positive reviews in Trusted Pros. I now have to wonder how many of those customers really exist, given the difference in experience. If I was the odd customer with such a poor job done, a quality company would have fixed the problems rather than let that work stand as proof of their poor work.
I'm willing to share my experience further or even show you my floors. You can contact me at revolution9677@gmail.com
Yes for some clients the smell lasts for weeks however my feedback is that 99% of clients say the smell goes away in a few days. Which I mention on the every estimate. Also on every estimate I've ever done I always explain how everyone has a different level of sensitivity and telling them that my feed back is the best I can do. I've never ever said to anyone that yes smell is gone in a few days.
That's also why I offered Sharon and everyone I visit that if sensitive to smell then to go with water-base. Over the years I've even had the odd complaint about water-base. It's just we're all different as people. Plus the exact finish I use is in great detail on the estimate giving a chance to do further research.
Sharon had weeks to decide and then decided to go with oil base knowing that I told her that I could only tell her what my feedback is on the smell. Which is that 99% of clients say smell is gone after a few days.
After weeks of finishing Sharon's floor I get a call about some concerns she had with the floor. I'm a big believer in making all clients happy so almost immediately I went down to her house to have a look.
When I arrived she had little paper tent marks everywhere on the floor. So then her and I started looking at each one and asked her to point out the issue. And one after another she couldn't find them. Her excuse was she could see it in a certain light. But her and I together looked at every angle and couldn't find anything. Then one after another she agreed there was nothing. Also keep in mind this was a sunny bright day. If there were flaws then we'd able to see them for sure.
So it ended up being two or three very very minor applicator marks that are barely visible and normally accepted. I asked her why she waited so long to tell me. She said one of her friends came down and picked her floor apart. She said she hadn't even noticed them until her friend pointed them out.
Anyone can go to someone's home and pick stuff apart. Any decent person knows that floors have to looked as a whole. Specially decades old flooring. It's amazing what we can do with them.
At the end of the day any business that deals with hundreds and hundreds of clients will have the odd person that does this. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and have made thousands of clients super happy. :) To bad internet wasn't around then. I can't imagine how many more great reviews I would have.
Also if you think about it that every client that isn't happy will post negative comments. But I'd say maybe only 15% of happy clients post a review. I have a great reputation and will always do whatever I can do make clients happy. Naturally us as people including myself don't always give feedback on greatness. Whether it's a restaurant, doctor, service, house work, etc.
At the end of the day I will still do whatever I can do make her happy. Granted it can't always be done. Most companies likely wouldn't even go back.
I'm even going back for a free complimentary visit to fix scratches that happened during her moving furniture.
I love being happy and clients happiness is way important than mine.
I like how they helped us move some hard to move furniture in our home, They were very prompt with their work and made our floors like new again. They stand by there work and were able to fix any minor problems we had with the small issues on our base boards.
The only thing I didn't like, I have to say was cleaning up the mess on the walls and everywhere in the house from the sanding dust.
