We got our floors refinished but had huge issues after the project was done. The main issue was there were several hairs trapped in the floors. There were over 20 spots we found with hair. The project was done on Jan. 27, and we've been finding more hair spots every single day. There are probably more than 30 spots now.
There were also spots on the floor that we pointed out where the wood wasn't refinished properly and there were some discoloring but they tried to blame another contractor (our kitchen remodel contractor). But the spots were nowhere near the kitchen, not where the kitchen contractors would've been whatsoever. Another thing was in our upstairs guest bathroom, we found poop stains in the toilet. We know these weren't there until the floors were done because we did a final walkthrough during closing and it was clean, and no one lived there when the floors were being done. Also, we didn't get the upstairs floors refinished so they shouldn't have been up there in the first place. We also found hairs trapped in our powder room on the primary floor. They were little hairs so they look like pubic hair. Just disgusting.
We contacted AG Floors about the issues. We scheduled a day but had to reschedule because the person who was supposed to come apparently didn't show up to work. When one of the employees finally came to "fix" it (I believe his name was Carlos, who did the original work) he seemed like he didn't want to be there. He was annoyed every time we pointed out a spot. We marked all the spots on the floors where we found hair with paint tape. When we showed the spots to him, he just took off the tape and said it was "nothing" or he said he didn't see the hair. We pointed out the hairs several times but he insisted it was nothing. When he finally admitted he saw the hairs all he did was scrape our floor with a razor blade which left scratch marks all over. We could've done that ourselves. A huge issue was when we showed him 4 hairs in one spot but instead of fixing them, he scraped up a nail that was in the floor and out gray putty inside. That wasn't even an issue - I specially told him to NOT touch that spot. As you can see in the picture it absolutely does not match our floor and created a bigger issue. After he "fixed" the issues he rushed out the door as we were trying to inspect everything.
We contacted AG Floors again to complain about Carlos. The owner Felix and manager(?) David came out to inspect the floors. They seemed apologetic but when they came out again to fix the issues, it was a waste of our time. Essentially, their solution was to refinish the entire thing. We had already moved in and settled. We also have pets. Their solution was extremely inconvenient, impractical, and unfair, so we declined it. How were we supposed to move all of our furniture for the floors? Another solution was to refinish the areas but they said this wouldn't even guarantee the new parts matching the rest.
This should've been done correctly in the first place and who knows if it would've been done correctly the second time. We had to ask for a refund which they only provided $750 back when we paid $4150. We didn't expect it to be immaculate but finding 20+ spots of hairs and globs of finish is unacceptable. The partial refund didn't make up for the flaws at all, but we were tired of dealing with them so we took it. We were also tired of them coming out to our home and not providing adequate service. Now we'll have to deal with the issues ourselves and live forever with the hairs. I'm glad others had positive experiences with this company but we do not recommend them whatsoever. Looking forward to the company's response and their version of the events. Enjoy the hair pictures. read more
