This is a longer overdue review from Dream Hardwood Floors. I bought a house in 2017 and the floors…read morewere destroyed. I wanted to get the floors re-surfaced and stained before I moved in. Dream Hardwood floors was one of the few available that could start work immediately, on top of that my price was very good considering the amount of work that needed to be done. I had some fill work that needed to be done because I demo'd a pony wall with no floor under it. There was also a really BAD patch job that the previous home owner hid under a gigantic couch that I never saw until the house was cleared for the keys to be turned over. On top of that, there was an area of the house that had a bad slope to the point where the floor split in an area because of it. Every contractor prior to Dream Hardwood floors would not give me a firm price on fixing the slope because they gave me every potential issue that that could come up and said they would quote me to fix it after they already got the job and started going into the floor. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like the idea of an open-ended contract. Anyway Humberto gave me a firm price, and got to work immediately. And when I say immediately, like...the following day before I even got him the deposit. I think the total job took a little over a week. The patch work where they staggered the wood was amazing, after it was all said and done you couldn't tell any patch work was done at all. There were some areas though where edges of trim for doors (wall trim was removed prior, but door trim was not) that ended up with some stain on it. That would probably be my only real "complaint". Other than that work was done great, there was good communication, and you can tell a lot of pride in the work. Humberto seems to have a genuine passion for flooring and wood which is nice to be around when figuring things out vs someone just looking for another job. I went with a 50/50 espresso - ebony mix. I LOVE IT! I will definitely use Dream Hardwood Floors again when its time for me to refinish the floors whenever that time comes up.

The estimate meeting was rescheduled three times because the estimator literally forgot about each meeting time. Never once did I receive any phone call or update letting me know they weren't going to show up or possibly be late. It was always me reaching out to get ahold of them and then getting apologies from them because they forgot. Sorry but three strikes and you're out. Pretty poor customer service in my opinion.

Actual quality of install is great. The customer service... so/so to poor…read more He installed our countertops as part of our remodel and that went great. We also had an additional cut that he did no-cost (we picked up the extra piece at their warehouse). But our very last interaction leaves an awful taste in our mouth. We asked him to come back briefly to drill a hole (5 minutes + driving). We told him it was not urgent, and to come out anytime in January. He texts at 7AM suddenly saying "OMW there by 8am" - no advance scheduling or notice, just "I'm almost there". Then a 'He said/she said': we were told by our general contractor drilling a hole would be free, Victor shows up, prepared to drill, and says "I would never come out for free - $150 visit fee". I've got 2 kids (1 sick) in the other room, and he springs a negotiation on me very-last-minute like that? We've been texting, asking "anytime this month". He said "well, I'll take $100 cash". Clearly was a money grab. (Later in the day realizing I should have just drilled the hole myself...) So install went well, but awful experience at the end. My fault for not asking about a visit fee before, but his fault for not communicating at all and for an obnoxious cash-grab.

Great experience working with Victor and his installation team…read more My house is 23 years old and well built. I wanted to replace the cartridge in the kitchen faucet and by the time I got damn thing out, I had torn out the sink and some of the laminate! My girlfriend saw my handiwork and said, "Oh good! Now you can buy granite! This is great!" At first I was shocked. Only rich people buy granite. Well, not anymore. I think granite is fantastic. I was referred to Victor by an appraiser. Victor did exactly as the appraiser said he would. We agreed in advance on the following: I would break and make the plumbing and the cooktop and install new backspashes. Victor would tear out the old countertops and backsplashes and seal the granite. Victor measured precisely and provided excellent recommendations. The installation team handled the little "surprises" easily- added epoxy to fill a hole in cabinet where the old cooktop was and chiseled out the drywall where it was a little high in corner joint and chiseled the cabinet where needed for sinks. They've got a great electrical chisel/cutter tool that works on vibration. I got one for myself so I can rebuild the cabinet "floor" under the sinks and cooktop. 3 granite seams are nearly invisible. I paid $7600 for 84 sq ft of countertops (3 in the kitchen, 1 hall bath, 1 master bath). He used 2 big sheets of granite (I am responsible for cost of an entire sheet of granite including leftovers so let him help you plan how you will use your slab. They come in different sizes). So that's $91 per square foot. Seems expensive, but it was worth it to me. I love beautiful high quality stone and workmanship and I got all of that! We visited a lot of small granite outfits and box stores before we met Victor. These outfits sell their own granite but the selection is limited and they are displayed in a way that is hard to see- little samples or whole sheets stacked up like doors in a hardware store. Victor referred me to a granite showroom in Seattle called Pental. They've got a HUGE selection of granite displayed so you can see the whole slab in good lighting. Absolutely gorgeous stuff. I picked a mid-price granite called Astoria. It has the elements that make me happy just to look at it- natural like a sandstone cliff or a dry stream bed, flowing lines in mostly tan with highlights of salmon and black. Plus little sparkles like the inside of an oyster that flash at you as you move around the kitchen. You can almost hear the sound of tumbling water and see the trout in there! Absolutely beautiful! All of the sinks are under-rmount- the only way to go for me. So easy to wipe the counters. Victor's team installs 2x4 side supports for the kitchen sink because of the additional weight a large sink could hold. I was lucky in that my fake oak cabinets with real oak doors and frames were good enough quality that the instl was strong and level. Turns out the color of the stone complimented the honey oak color of the cabinets. I hadn't planned on that nice surprise! Victor and his team are on time for estimate and installation. Very pleasant guys to work with. I haven't installed the faucets and wall tile yet. Still washing up in the laundry tub!

I decided to go with 1st Ave because they were very responsive on the phone and email, and they were able to do the work faster than GS. I also really liked that the people at 1st Ave weren't pushy like at they were at some of the other companies. They came though with all they promised to do - called me when they were on the way to the job site, installed everything so all cabinets and drawers lined up and worked flawlessly, cut the quartz offsite and came back to install countertops, and cleaned up after themselves. I have been recommending them to friends and neighbours, and I would most definitely use them again.
