After asking for some bids from other flooring companies in the area, we saw Third Coast Flooring…read moreat the Eagan Home Show. We asked them to come and give us an estimate which was promptly scheduled the same week. Their bid came in lower than the other companies and included ancillaries such as helping to move furniture and removing and disposing of our old flooring. They did not limit themselves to one supplier of flooring material and we eventually chose a prefinished Brazilian cherry. They delivered the flooring material on-time and we let it acclimate for a week. On the scheduled date to begin installation, Chad and the crew working under Mario arrived on time and began moving furniture and removing the old flooring immediately. They continued working hard, showing up on time and working until late in the day, cleaning up after themselves every night before leaving. We found a few minor details that needed correcting when they were done (as well as one major error made by the homeowner). The crew came back with Chad and Mario two days later and fixed all our problems. I would highly recommend Third Coast Flooring to anyone who needs to have a new floor installed.

The floors themselves look great. The installers were professional and did quality work. I'm giving…read moreone star because the owner, Chad, cost me a significant and entirely preventable 30% budget overrun -- and he did it after I gave him multiple chances to get it right. Here's what happened: Chad visited our home three times before we signed. On his second visit, I pointed out that the subfloors were in rough shape and asked directly whether I should repair them. He told me not to worry about it. The weekend before installation, I sent him a video of the floors and said I was thinking about going to Menard's to pick up 1/4" plywood to cover the entire main floor. He called me and told me not to do that -- said it would be a waste of time and money. Monday morning, his installers walked in, looked at the subfloor, and immediately said it was in awful shape. Their recommendation? Go to Menard's and get 1/4" plywood to cover the whole floor. Exactly what I had proposed. They charged $25 per sheet of plywood plus $40 per sheet to install it. When it came time to settle up, I wrote two checks -- one for the agreed amount plus half the overrun, and a second check for the other half, with a note to Chad that he should only cash it if he felt it was fair for me to absorb the full cost of a problem he had twice told me wasn't a problem. He cashed both. I don't know if Chad was inattentive, undertrained, or simply not honest with me. What I do know is that the owner of a flooring company should be able to assess a subfloor. I flagged the issue twice -- once in person, once on video -- and was turned away both times. If you're considering Third Coast, insist on a written subfloor assessment before you sign anything, and get any scope-of-work promises in writing.

Unfortunately, this is not a good review, and it is not something I like to do. However, I feel…read morethis is necessary. We engaged John last November to do knock down ceilings and paint our entire house after he completed a very nice job on a flooring project the year before. This new project did not go well. We discussed and agreed to the project schedule and expectations. What transpired was a serious lack of transparency and management. We were taken advantage of including paying for work that was never done and were told it was, hurried work that required rework multiple times, schedule slippage by multiple weeks causing us to incur additional costs and rescheduling subsequent contractors. John discussed making things right, however we were well past the point of allowing for this to continue and paid for a different contractor to finish the remaining rework. I'm sorry to have to share this. Sharon G.

After asking a number of friends for recommendations I still wasn't satisfied with the list of floor installers and companies we had narrowed down. I did a little more on-line searching and stumbled onto UB Flooring close to me in Plymouth. I read their on-line reviews and found good and bad, but they worked with the bad to make things right and decided to dig deeper. Their storefront isn't fancy, but the store included samples of everything I wanted to see. Being frugal myself (), I like to see companies being smart where they spend their own money - on their product and skilled employees. We left the showroom with samples to review at home, narrowing down our choices enough to ask for a quote. The quote was reasonable so we decided to set the date to have new floor added and old wood refinished. We discussed the quote, Sam answered all of our questions and we decided to put half down to buy materials and hold our spot. We picked a date 3 months out so the floors could be done when we were scheduled to be out of town. They brought in the bundles of flooring a few days before installation to acclimate it to our house and floor. The processes of lacing in new flooring, installing, sanding, staining and finishing could not have gone any better. Tomorrow they will be adding the finish coat and our floor journey will be complete. Communication has been stellar every step of the way, and they could not have been more clear with their questions, answers, guidance and suggestions. Strongly recommend UB Flooring and Sam to get your job done right!

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.

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!
