I am doing a full renovation of our 100 year old house and we have worked with so many different tradespeople during this 4 month project (from foundation, electrical, plumbing, etc). I spoke to 4 different flooring contractors before choosing 1st Valley Flooring to do the refinish/repair job on our house.
Sebastian was very knowledgeable and friendly from the first time he came to see the project. He actually took his time to assess the job and didn't seem like he was too busy to spend his time at our house like some other contractors do. He also knows his numbers very well and was able to quote me a price that same day, unlike other people who just get measurements and then try to sell the job to someone else.
Sebastian's price was also very competitive, and very thorough, in that he detailed exactly what we were paying for instead of just doing a very general bid.
From the first day of the job I knew we made a good choice because Sebastian was there with the crew, as opposed to some random crew showing up and never seeing the contractor again, which happens very often in construction. Sebastian checked in on the project daily, and was in contact with me by text throughout. His crew was friendly, and professional, and very clean with their work and their trash. His crew also included a guy who acted like a foreman, who was very communicative with me to make sure I understood what was going on. Many times with other contractors a crew just shows up and starts doing the job and they have no interest in even talking to you even though you are the homeowner.
Our floors also had extensive chemical stains because the old homeowners had carpet over it and presumably cleaned with some type of chemical cleaner. They had the expertise to recommend a finish/stain that would be just dark enough to completely hide the stains, without going much darker than we had initial planned.
Overall, this is an excellent company, with top quality work, at really fair prices. I would not hesitate to recommend them. And I want to emphasize that my wife and I were being very picky with our flooring contractor because we are restoring 100 year old floors. I look forward to working with them again when we do our ADU. read more
