Dave's Flooring refinished our maple floors in the dining room and kitchen. Now, the 19 year old floors look like new. Thanks to David (sanding & sealing), Troy (1st coat), and Stephanie (2nd coat).

Dave's was recommended by my realtor, Sandy Loescher. She had seen my floors after the carpet was pulled up and they were ug-ly! Some former owners had painted the floors but the paint had worn through. Dave's crew did a great job as you can see from the pictures. I have one before and several afters!! Highly recommended!

Day one of three

Estimator arrived on time. Explained charges very clearly. He let me know several commonly made mistakes after floors are refinished (such as no rugs for 3-4 weeks and much more). The employees who came over and did the work were on time every day, and had great communication with me. Remember to keep your air conditioning on for the workers, it gets unbelievable hot inside even when the outside temperature isn't to bad. Especially with the machines they use. I was shocked at how bad the fumes were throughout the house for several days. If I did it again I would make arrangements to stay somewhere else during the 3 day process- I do think the estimator recommended that too though. If you need hardwood floors refinished use Daves

My floors are 160 years old and the wood is very thick. The agreement was to grind down to get to fresh wood. I wasn't living in the house, so the 2 days they were there, I didn't see the progress. After putting 2 coats of oil on, I saw that there was big areas of staining that were not addressed and the floors looked terrible. I called justin asking why they didn't call me to say there were huge spots that's looked really bad. Justin just said we don't do any treatment of stains or discoloration. All I wanted was communication and a chance to address the stains/discoloration going forward. There was no acknowledgement that I was not happy, no apologies, no possible solutions. He said that the worker "gets in the zone" and keeps going even if there are problems. I do not recommend them. My floors look like I got a sander from Home Depot and did it myself.

We decided at the last minute to refinish our floors before we moved in to our new house. I called up Daves and they got us a quote the next day and started 2 days later! The timing could not have been more efficient. They took time to explain the process and were very knowledgeable. The job did get delayed by a day as the floors didn't dry after the 2nd coat. So make sure to keep the heat up if you want it to dry fast. Overall though it got done just in time to move in. They answered all questions anytime we called and after the job was done followed up to see how things were going. We continue to get so many compliments on our floors everytime we have new visitors over!

I hired Dave's to sand and refinish the floors in my house that was built in 1901. The old floors were scratched, and had turned a slightly orange color. Dave's crew was professional, followed the set timeline, and helped with my many questions about prepping the floors and taking care of them after the job. They were fine with my last-minute decision to use a satin finish rather than semi-gloss. It was explained to me that the baseboards would be too delicate to remove, so I was worried that they might be damaged in the sanding process. But, everything looks clean and intact. I can't believe how nice the floors turned out!

Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) with Ebony stain and Traffic Satin Finish

Hired Dave's to rip out carpet and install Brazilian cherry hardwood in our living room to match the wood floors in our dining room, foyer and kitchen. It was all then sanded and stained ebony and finished with Traffic Satin finish. There were a few glitches (as to be expected with a project of this size) but overall I am really happy with how the floors turned out and the service I received from Dave's. Don't worry about the negative reviews - the company was operated by someone else for a short time - but Dave is back and taking great care of his customers and staff. The two things I really like about this operation are: 1. No matter when I call and who answers the phone they can pull up my name and address my concern without a lot of delays and needing to check with various parties. 2. They have employees that are specialists in their areas (sanding, coating, staining, etc.). While it makes for a lack of continuity of workers coming into your house, they all seem to know what the plan is and because they know and enjoy their part of the job they do it well. We came home from Spring Break and the floors looked beautiful! I would highly recommend the Traffic Satin finish. No smell, quick drying time and beautiful easy-care finish. I had a million questions and they never seemed to get annoyed with me. The employees really seem to take pride in their work. Price was right in line with another quote I got. I highly recommend Dave's!

Don't hire Dave's! I hired Dave's to redo my gorgeous maple hardwood floors. The floors had been scratched over the years, but were generally in great condition. Dave's underbids other flooring companies using workers who, depending on your luck of the draw, don't care at all about how their work turns out. I walked into my house after the job was done (on day #3) and started crying. I could tell immediately that they were not done well. I assumed that it was all in the top coat. Dave's agreed to rebuff the top coat and put down a new coat. They said that they would send "one of their two best guys." This guy was incredibly rude to my sweet nanny. (Saying that she "must work for incredibly picky people" and when she said that we just want the floors done correctly, that "they must've paid her to say that.") The floors looked WORSE afterward!! Dave's flooring (specifically, Wayne) assured me that their guy actually did buff the floors and redo the top coat. I hired someone else to redo the top coat. (And, of course, every time I have to have someone come back, it's another round of moving my entire main floor of furniture off the floors--did it three times!) When they arrived, they quickly assessed that the problem is not in the top coat, it's in the original sanding job with the floors. Dave's said that they want to redo the top coat of the floors AGAIN, while refusing to acknowledge that the problem isn't with only the top coat; the top coat that they supposedly already buffed and recoated. My only recourse is to take my story to social media and hope that at some point someone tells Dave's that Dave's lost their business because of what happened to me. In the end, don't go with Dave's because it's a lower price. Hire someone who cares about the job that they do.

The owner communicated with me during the entire rebuild process (which took about 1 month). Tracy recommended the "rebuild" and it was well worth the wait! The original cart was damaged laminate and they replicated the damaged wood parts from 100 year old pieces of a piano. Berger Refinishing also delivered the wood cart with brass hardware on time for a gift. They really care about doing quality work and I highly recommend their expertise and attention to detail. Thank you Tracy and Eric!

He was able to patch the door frame from 4 pieces back into one and it looks great- Better than it did before, actually. It used to have brackets holding a few pieces together, leading me believe it had been damaged before. I needed a replacement piece of curved glass as the original was shattered in the move. While the door frame only took maybe 2-3 weeks for completion, I gave Tracey a few months to search for a curved glass manufacturer. One person he thought may have been able to ended up not being able to and he was unable to find anyone else in the local area to do it which is absolutely at no fault of his own. I was able to find a specialty glass manufacturer who does replacement curved glass for curio cabinets in FL so it all worked out. It was reasonable pricing for the door frame repair with a good turnaround time. If I ever have damaged furniture I would bring it back to Berger's in a heartbeat.

I needed my engineered hardwood floors refinished, and the first company I contacted barely looked…read moreat them before telling me they were too far gone and needed to be replaced. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from Dave's Master Floor Care. Dave carefully inspected the entire floor and explained that refinishing was possible -- and he delivered outstanding results with good value. Dave is thorough and an excellent communicator. He explained the types of wear on my floors and outlined his refinishing strategy step by step. With little room for error on this type of flooring, I appreciated his clear approach -- there's no "undo" button with refinishing! Dave also has tools I've never seen before -- it felt like he had a gadget for every challenge that came up. Plus, he's been doing this for years, so he knows how different stains and woods react. I even learned a bit along the way. And the best part? Dave does the work himself. Sometimes he brings an assistant to help with simple stuff, but you're really hiring him -- not a random crew. After seeing what he did with the floors, I also had him fix some big cracks in my garage and driveway too. Same story: great work, no fuss. If you want someone knowledgeable, equipped, and detail-oriented, I highly recommend Dave's Master Floor Care.

I found Dave through Yelp and, as usual, I am always a little suspicious of contractors I find…read morethrough an app but Dave really put my mind at ease once I spoke to him and heard how knowledgeable he was about flooring. He provided a consultation for my indoor floors, but then I had him also look at my garage floor and he said he was able to do the work I was looking for, which is what I will be reviewing here today. I had a few cracks in my garage floor and was looking to Epoxy it to protect it for the winter. Dave explained to me his process and how it differs from the competition which helps keep his cost low. The best part about Dave was that he stuck to the quote he gave me, with no surprises or additional ask for money, and he started when he said he would, got the job done quick, and finished when he said he would - anyone who has worked with contractors before knows this is a rarity! Dave was respectful and treated the place with care, and I would recommend his work to others. We think the garage looks great! Dave is passionate about his work and did tend to over-explain some things to me, so some people might enjoy that more than others but it was great to hear how much he knew about the subject!
