Get matched with top wood flooring installation pros in Carnation, WA

"George cares about the wood. One company came out and measured and left: 15 minutes. George was down on the floor looking at every almost every board: that's why we hired him. He and his crew were on time and on budget which you don't always get these days. The color is exactly what we picked: wood and stains are sometimes highly variable. We highly recommend!"

"Otto installed over 1500 square feet of Wisconsin Red Oak in our home. It was such a professional and incredible job. Additionally, Otto had to color match a section that connected to the previous wood floors, and he did this to perfection. Did a fantastic job, showed up on time and finished when they said they would. I have referred Otto to several clients and they have always thanked me profusely. Can’t recommend highly enough!"

"Everything went well. Love my new floors"

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"My wife and I highly recommend Modern Flooring Services. We had 450 square feet of an irregular shaped floor covered with carpet upstairs that we wanted to replace with wood flooring. Modern Flooring Services provided a contractor to provide an initial estimate and a list of supplies needed to purchase. Then they sent a consummate professional and craftsman to install our floor. His name was Patrick, and he started by explaining what we should expect when he removed the carpet, prepared the subfloor, and then installed the wood. He provided different options for how the wood could be angled based on the floor layout. Then he went to work, and we can’t praise his work ethic enough. He is one of the hardest workers I know. He also did a great job of minimizing the dust. If we opt to install new flooring in the future, we will definitely hire Modern Flooring and request Patrick to install the floor."

"Adam was a life-saver for us! His team helped us replace 400sqft of carpeted area with high-quality vinyl plank flooring, including expertly adding plywood to make our floor perfectly level with the rest of the house. We started going down the road of trying to work with Home Depot, and realized far down that path that we couldn't get the quality of consultation and expertise that we needed for our new home. In our 11th hour, we called Adam who promptly came out the next day and personally gave us his expert advice on the job. His price was fair and absolutely in-line with competitors, but we instantly knew we could trust him and his crew to get the nuances that we needed completed. They were on time and on budget, and we're immensely satisfied with the quality of work they turned around. Could not recommend them any higher!"

"Excellent customer service. Quick reply and professional install. Thank you E&A Pro Flooring!"

"I purchased a "Big Deal" for floor refinishing: 150 sf sanded and refinished with 2 coats of either Swedish finish or low-VOC for $249. All the floors in our 1926 house have been in pretty rough shape since we moved in and took up the carpets five years ago and it seemed like quite a deal--especially since square footage over 150 square feet could be added at $3 per sf (vs. $6 normal price). I specified that I'd like to have the work done any Monday in April. (Note that the actual work was done in June.)
Dmitry was a bit late (maybe half an hour or 45 minutes? for the initial estimate, but we live in West Seattle which is like the end of the Earth for a lot of people. and traffic can be pretty bad getting here so I didn't think much about it. He had a look at our floors. I initially wanted only the living room done but figured I might as well find out how much the bedroom would be as well. Dmitriy opined that we'd be foolish not to do the hall as well so I said to include that on the estimate. Since the bedroom and hall were fir they'd require a third coat, he said, so we might as well get a third coat on the oak floor in the living room as well. We discussed how the quarter-round would have to be removed in the bedroom and he asked if we'd want him to put up sheeting to keep the dust, etc. out of the other rooms. The plastic, he said, would be an additional $40. That seemed like a lot to me but my partner said yes to it. I asked Dmitriy to give me an estimate for everything, with all the details broken out: how much for each room, for removing and reinstalling the quarter-round, the plastic sheeting etc. and he agreed to that.
 A few days later I received the estimate:
Resand existing hardwood floors in great room,
hallway and bedroom. Finish with light stain and 3
coats of swedish finish. Hang plastic on doors ways
for additional dust control. Price is after coupon
discount.: $1914.18 (tax to be added later)
The total square footage involved wasn't listed on the quote but it's about 425 sf. To say that the estimate was higher than I expected is an understatement. Figuring the unit price for the additional square footage at $3 and 150 sf already covered by the Big Deal, the third coat was apparently costing about $1000. Because I'd realized that the oak floor was very thin--which I wasn't sure Dmitry had realized, I decided to cut back to just the bedroom floor and emailed asking for a revised estimate, citing the high initial estimate and my concern about the thinness of the oak floor. I provided a template so that he'd understand the level of  detail I wanted:
Please give me an estimate for doing just the bedroom (which I think is
close to 150 sq ft) with a third coat of finish and with and without
stain (I?m still not sure I want that). Please also list what the
additional fee is for removing the baseboards as I think we might be
able to handle that ourselves. I don?t think we need the plastic
sheeting in the other rooms of the house. Ideally, I'd like your
estimate to list
Total sq ft:
Covered by Angies List "big deal":
Refinishing and 2 coats of finish not covered by "big deal" 150 sq ft:
Third coat of finish:
Stain:
Removal and reinstallation of baseboards:
Any additional charges:
TOTAL:
Dmitry responded promptly telling me that the oak floor was "top nailed 1/4-inch" and could be refinished but agreed to provide a new estimate. There was a delay in getting the revised estimate; when I emailed five days later to ask for it Dimitry said he had sent it but he would send it again. Three days later I received the following revised estimate:
Resand Family room with 2 coats of swedish finish.              $756.00
Resand bedroom and hall (fir floors) with two coats
of swedish finish. Price after coupon.                                     $74.00
Add third coat of finish.(recomended as minimum
for soft grain woods such as fir)                                             $246.40
It still didn't have the level of detail I wanted and I had already said that I'd decided to do only the bedroom. More back and forth followed, with increasingly long gaps in response times. On May 1 I sent an email noting that we were still waiting for a response to a message sent on April 1 and suggesting that perhaps it would be best for him to refund the $249 I'd paid on the Big Deal so we could all move on with our lives. Dmitry replied, saying that my messages kept going to his spam filter and, fair enough, one of his went to mine. But after that happened, I started checking my spam filter for messages from him.
We finally arranged a day to have the bedroom done with three coats of low-VOC and no stain. We removed the quarter-round and hung the plastic sheeting ourselves. Dmitry said he'd be by "around 9:00." It was around 9:45 that we phoned to check on his whereabouts; he was just pulling up.
I stayed home for the day, mostly in the backyard. The actual work went pretty smoothly (though Dmitry left the front door open repeatedly though I had mentioned during the initial visit that I had a cat I didn't want to get out of the house. I kept closing the door; he kept leaving it open.) At one point he plugged something (a shop vac maybe?) into an outlet in the bedroom and blew a fuse. (The wiring in the house also dates to 1926.) I don't blame him for the blown fuse but I do wonder why he then attempted to find another outlet to use in another room which would have just resulted in another blown fuse.
He did a great job of cleaning everything up after he was finished and the floor really is beautiful now. All three coats went on the same day (and the low-VOC stuff is great; practically no smell at all). As he was leaving we talked briefly about the living room floor and he said that the top nailed floor is more expensive to have done but certainly can be done successfully. Possibly if he'd explained that on one of the earlier estimates, it would have made a difference to us.
If it weren't for the bizarre, undetailed estimates and the difficulty in communicating, I'd be giving Artistic Hardwoods a rave review. As it is, I wouldn't recommend them because communications were so frustrating. I'd recommend that Dmitriy hire an office person to arrange his schedule and prepare estimates.
