How lucky were we?!? If you're in the market for any flooring work, it is worth reading on to find…read moreout. Jim and Andrea were the last company to give us a quote for a fairly complex floor refinish/install and thank goodness for our perseverance. Our pre-finished builder grade Bruce hardwood had a pretty good bevel, multiple spots on the floors were worn through the finish from previous owners' dogs, there was some inconsistency with the install that occurred 20 years ago when the house was built, not to mention water damage and we wanted to add hardwood where there was carpet in the family room. We were beginning to lose hope with previous 4 quotes ranging from "we can do it, but..." to a disheartening quote from a well known local company that is considered high standard in this area. I'll name drop simply because others feel compelled to name drop on their critical reviews. My quote from Ziggy's consisted of Ziggy wandering into my open garage and knocking not at my front door, but at my garage door. It was him coming in and basically saying I can't do anything you're asking for. He said, "you can't sand that bevel out, you'll end up with uneven finish and splinters, it will splinter. I've been doing this for 30 years and I teach this stuff. You can't sand out that bevel." He said this even as the other three quotes to this point indicated it was absolutely possible. "You won't be able to make the new floors look like they belong with the old floors." Also not true. Aside from spending half of the quote touting his credentials, Ziggy was also very dismissive of anything we had in mind and simply told us what he envisioned with our floors; it felt as though he didn't listen at all and was only quoting us for what he was willing to do. 10 min after his arrival, he was gone and we were on to the next...we were frustrated because we were being told by one professional who had good ratings that it was impossible to complete this job and then by three other companies that they wouldn't be able to do what we were asking...but could do it half ass for x amount. Boy, were they ALL wrong. Jim and Andrea came into our home with a keen eye and plenty of recommendations for a perfect finish and they quoted us to ensure the floor was done correctly. They were here for about 45 minutes to really get a feel for what it was we wanted to accomplish and to visualize it with us. It wasn't a matter of IF we wanted it done correctly or knew enough to ensure we asked about having it done correctly, they simply said "we can do anything you want, but this is how you do what you're asking for." They were very reassuring that our situation was not unique as others had made us feel. Jim, who I learned is a MASTER in his field and actively trains his peers (he received multiple phone calls while on our job from other flooring professionals with text pictures asking how he would properly complete a job and he even lent tools to another peer who had a tool break in the field) in this field, not simply high school wood shop. He did a GREAT job explaining the process both before and during the refinishing/install process. I also found that although he doesn't like to brag about his education and training, he has more cumulative hours on very specific finishing methods than most do on flooring in general (upwards of 16k hours). Couple all of this expertise with the fact that we didn't have to move out of our house for a week or more and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our floors have been finished for over a month now and I have recommended Jim and Andrea by mouth to close friends in the market for floor refinishing. It took them coming over once to see our floors to convince them to give Jim and Andrea a call. If you're getting frustrated with quotes that you've been given or you've had a bad experience with a nightmare refinish, give them a call! I can't recommend them highly enough. See before and afters below (no splinters and the shadow lines prove it's perfectly even!).

They said the process would take four weeks. It took four weeks exactly to finish. Here is the exception to all other renovation contractors. SCOTT STARTS THE JOB AND IS ON SITE WITH HIS CREW EVERY DAY OF THE JOB AND WORKS ON "NO" OTHER JOBS EACH MON.-FRI. EXCEPT YOURS!! That rarely is the case. And you talk about "quality" work. The man is an artisan. Scott and his crew basically do all the work and sub out only a few minor items: glass and countertops the exceptions. I got four quotes for this work. Custom Creations was second lowest but only by a few thousand dollars. The lowest bidder wasn't interested in doing some of the "minor details" I wanted done. Get several quotes but hire Custom Creations. You won't be disappointed. Mike F.

They did an excellent job. Always showed up on time when they said they would. Every night when they left, you would not have known they were there. They cleaned up every day.

We could not have asked for better people or a better job and we didn't break the bank! Thank Chris!

Chris and his son, Andrew, just finished a master-bath remodel job for us. They were…read moresuper-friendly, respectful, and so easy to work with. All upcoming work, delivery status, etc., were well-communicated before hand. They always showed up, not like many contractors who work for a couple of days and then leave you hanging for days or even weeks. The job was completed on time for a fair price and there were absolutely no extra cost surprises. Honesty and integrity are hard to come by these days. The demolition work (gutted down to the studs) did not create the mess that we had expected. They took extra care to keep dust/debris out of the rest of the house and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of each day. Chris made some excellent suggestions to improve our architect's design, especially when it came to the details. For example, he suggested a curbless shower and running the heated floor into the shower; increasing the height of the new trayed ceiling (used to be vaulted); and changing the supported bench to a boxed-in bench to make cleaning easier. We couldn't be happier that we agreed to these changes. The workmanship was outstanding. We selected large format porcelain tiles with very narrow grout lines. The installation came out perfectly. The shower-glass installers even commented on how good of a tile job it was. We feel very lucky to have contracted with TriCounty Flooring.

Ed Varnes Hardwood Floors is the only company you will ever need for your hardwood floor needs. Ed…read moreVarnes is extremely professional, prompt, efficient, and kind. His prices are competitive and fair. I was surprised how reasonable the job cost. I had been putting off refinishing my dining room, stairs and spare room but I now ask myself why I waited. I had gotten several estimates, but Mr. Varnes was equal to or less than others. He came out to measure very quickly and had my estimate to me in less than 24 hours. Other companies took days to come out and actually showed very little interest in doing the job. The men working for Mr. Varnes were wonderful. Courtesy, on time, friendly. When you look up professional in the dictionary or on google there should be a picture of Ed Varnes Hardwood Floors. This company is definitely old school and, in this day, and age that is a true gift.

Ed Varnes Hardwood Floors were recommended to us by neighbors in Beech Hill. They simply said, 'Oh…read moreyeah, Varnes has been around forever, and they are the go-to flooring people around here.' And yes, they really ARE the go-to people. We found them to be thoughtful about what made sense for our home and circumstances, meticulous about details, and careful with our furniture (which they cheerfully hauled back and forth). They also took great care to mitigate the dust from their work, putting up plastic sheeting on adjacent doors, and covering the contents of closets. Other small--but telling--things: the crew was always on time, was invariably friendly and polite, and they worked around us and our unhappy little dog with grace, consideration and good nature. We installed new hardwood the living room, refinished the abutting floor to match the living room, and installed pre-finished hardwood upstairs. We are thrilled with the finished product, and would use Varnes again in the future. Great job!

We found attentiveness throughout the process, excellent knowledge of our needs, and the willingness to go the extra mile for service and customer satisfaction. Gary Robinson was particularly excellent in guiding us through what would work best in our home, including advising us that some of the home's floors could be maintained and restored. Gary had the quarter round delivered to our home, provided an outstanding installer who went to extra lengths to prepare the sub-flooring so that the final result would be flawless. The care along each step of the way is not something you can get from an impersonal box store. G & F is a local treasure for the Chester County/ Tri-State area. We wholeheartedly recommend them, and when we encounter flooring needs, we would not even think of going elsewhere.

I am writing this review nearly three years after Crown Flooring worked on my home in Wallingford,…read morePA. Crown Flooring installed Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) all through the lower level, and sanded and stained my hardwood floors all through the upper level of my home. Additionally, Ken and his crew replaced nearly all of my baseboard and quarter round, and all of my interior doors. This work was done in November - December of 2019. Three years later, and all of this work still looks like it was completed yesterday. My floors - the LVP and the hardwood floors are gorgeous. When people come over, to include people giving me estimates for other projects, I still get a lot of compliments, and some ask who did the work. Long story short, I highly recommend Crown Flooring. They do phenomenal work, complete it on schedule, and they do not price gouge you. I will be glad to provide before and after pictures for anyone who wants to see them. My wife and I have a projects that we are discussing. When we move forward with these projects, we will only call Crown Flooring to install the floors. Mike from Wallingford

I waited to do the upstairs because I wasn't sure I'd want the same carpet. It looked so good downstairs, I ordered it for the upstairs where it looks even better. The crew did an exceptional job working very hard for an entire day during installation. Upstairs too had some difficulties with speaker wire that goes down stairs, two small closets with lower floors, lots of cut outs, and closet build-outs. It looks great and I can see no berber seams - unlike my previous installation! I had a friend I tried to help who wanted tile but she ended up delaying. Two years later I find out that she too went to Crown Flooring and Rick helped her find a wood flooring that would match and she is very happy.
