Doctor Dustless; the BEST Floor Contractor in the United States. And I can prove it!

On February 18, I made a call to Dr. Dustless. I had just had two experiences with floor refinishers and was looking for someone who would treat my home as if it were their own. Both floor refinishers came from Angies List. I must say, I am not a big fan of Angies List. I have over a dozen calls out to contractors who have still not returned my calls. Even with A+ ratings, I have found many Angies List contractors either never call you back or don’t have time to take on more work. Anyway, Emil at Dr. Dustless picked up the phone. I explained to Emil that I have been looking to stain my floor the color grey. Besides the fact that the color grey is a very difficult color to stain a hardwood floor, it was something that Emil felt may not be something he wanted to do. The color grey is a very difficult color to stain a hardwood floor and the results are mediocre at best. I then told Emil I found an oil that will stain a floor grey and will look like no other floor you’ve seen. With over 20 years in the floor business Emil said; I don’t think that is something I want to do. He had a bad experience with a custom color and didn’t want to revisit another bad experience.

Then I got to convincing him. I told him I spoke with a Bona technician in London who would provide me samples of the color grey that he’d never seen before. I am unsure Emil believed me. He told me to send over some pictures of the samples they made and he would think about it.

After seeing the samples he called me. He said he was interested in entertaining the project. Emil came by to measure my floors. After about an hour he said he would get back to me with an estimate. We spoke throughout that hour and must say, Emil’s knowledge of floors and staining far exceeds his time in this business (almost 30 years). When Emil left I told my wife he was hired. I knew he was the right guy/company for this project. His A+ rating on Angies List also made it an easy hire.

I told Emil that Bona, [the manufacture] did not sell the product in the United States. The biggest issue was the American Red Oak used in the States. I had to send samples of American Red Oak to London. Those samples were sent to Sweden where Bona’s headquarters are located. The Bona lab techs spent 8 days experimenting on my American Red Oak and came up with a formula to produce a grey floor like you’ve never seen. The products were sent to me and I met with Emil to have him work with the formula. The results were remarkable. I placed an order for the formula. The technicians in London found a Bona factory in Germany that had the oil mix we needed. That shipment was sent to London and then to me. All this time Emil and I kept in touch scheduling and re-scheduling days to work on this floor until the materials arrived. If there is anything I can say about Emil is that he is passionate about floors. As I stated before, his knowledge of floors far exceeds his years in this business. Not once did my calls ever go to voicemail or texts go unanswered. I have counted over 150 texts between me and Emil. All which were always answered. You never get that communication with contractors…ever.

The job begins…Emil said he would be at my home to start work by 8:30 am. They were here at 8:30am. In the two weeks spent at my home, Emil and his crew never showed up late or left early. The two previous floor contractors all told me they would be here by 8:30; Emil and his crew were the only contractors who ever showed on time every single day. And unlike the two previous floor contractors, the floor techs worked the entire day; straight till 5:30.

Over the course of the project we ran into some staining issues. Emil and I had to schedule conference calls with the Bona techs in London. Again, Emil ALWAYS made himself available. With Emil on the phone with the Bona technicians Emil was able to explain our issues and how different the oil reacted to floors when outside a laboratory. Needless to say we continued to move forward.

Finally, after two weeks my floors are done. With the exception of some issues due solely by the product, the floors look amazing. Just amazing. I can say with confidence that no one in the United States has a floor like mine. I can also say that the floors would not look this good without Emil and his crew doing the work. I say this after having two other floor technicians attempt to do what Emil did. Have a look at the pictures attached. I assure you, you’ve never seen a floor like this.

It isn’t often you find a person who runs a business and is so involved with the day to day operations of his team in the field. That’s where Emil and Dr. Dustless separates himself from the rest. If Emil did plumbing, he’d be my plumber, if he fixed cars he’d be my mechanic, if he was a doctor he’d be my doctor.  It isn’t often I write reviews, let alone reviews this long, but this is well deserved.

If anyone would like to contact me directly as a reference for Doctor Dustless, please email me at mike@grandeland.com. And yes, it is absolutely true, Emil’s dustless system produces no dust. We could not believe it!

"It can be overwhelming looking for help to redo floors. These guys are awesome. They not only helped our family restore 50 year old floors, they made them look as if they are brand new. They were honest, they worked hard, and they truly were a pleasure to work with from beginning to the end. They even came back to touch up floors after we moved back in. I would recommend Rodrigo, Tiago and this company to anyone looking for a super solid company to refinish or install hard wood flooring."

"Not only was the work phenomenal, he took the time to explain the finishes, how to handle old and damaged wood."

"Parag and his team did an absolutely great job installing hardwood floors in our upstairs landing and sitting room. I built the house in 2015 and I could not find the same solid wood flooring to match the rest of the house. Parag took the time to come by multiple times with different samples and we were able to find an almost exact match. From start to finish, the team was responsive, efficient and delivered an outstanding finished product and it was cost effective. The house has a large spiral staircase and the detailed flooring finish around that spiral was a top-notch professional job. If you're looking for someone, VCH Flooring should be the top of your list."

"While out for a walk,I saw the owner Albert refinishing a porch deck, it looked beautiful. I asked for a card, made an appointment and he came out to my house 2 days later. I received the quote the next day and signed the proposal online and was scheduled within a week weather permitting. The technicians showed up on time, worked efficiently, and they were very knowledgeable. After only the first cost of marine varnish my porch deck looked beautiful, after the third coat it's gorgeous! The natural deep color of the wood is incredible.They did a fantastic job, I'm very happy. I wasn't only impressed with the wonderful quality of the job,but also with the customer service, their neatness, and the consideration for my time. I highly recommend Albert's Flooring and Painting."

"I purchased a 50 year old home and added hardwood floors in the entryway, family room and kitchen. D & S was hired to refinish the older floors and finish the newly installed floors. They gave me 4 color choices for stain and the floors look great. Highly recommend D & S Hardwood Floors."

"They are reasonably priced and very responsible. They handled the details very nice! I would highly recommend them for the flooring installation or refinishing"

"We pulled old carpeting up and had issues with the old floor beneath. They had to join the floors of two rooms to a hallway by splicing new pieces of hardwood in because previous owners moved walls and just carpeted over the entire upstairs afterward. We hired them to splice in the threshold areas, and also remove the carpet that went down the stairs and refinish it all. They were fabulous, extremely nice to work with, super clean. We literally had no dust to speak of afterward. Great guys - we recommend them wholeheartedly!"

"Very professional and got it all done in a week. Floors look brand new and they’re 95 years old! Highly recommend!"

"It looked like new after they weaved in the pieces of wood, and then they sanded it down to a blonde color, and stained it a light walnut... We went with the satin finish because I think floors look terrible with high glass, and it looks absolutely brand new... The guys were amazing to work with.... And yes if I do the upstairs bedrooms with the hardwood floors, I am definitely calling them back. I'm teetering with the fact of putting carpet upstairs in the bedrooms but we'll see if I keep the hardwood, the floors are not in great shape look wise, so in the event I don't carpet...I'm 100% calling them back ... they were very reasonable with their pricing as well, and they were on time.... And finished in a very timely fashion...they were also very helpful moving stuff around for us....."
