"We hired Mr. Handyman to paint our gables and soffitt. The employee was inexperienced. After setting up, she approached me and said she had made a mistake and didn't understand that she was painting the gables. The estimate we accepted stated painting 3 gables and soffitts. She said she needed to re-estimate the work. Eventually, we agreed on a new [much higher price that her boss approved.] She did very little work before she went back to the company van and sat in it. The office manager arrived to say that she was sick and someone else would be coming the next morning to do the agreed upon job. He started the job and my husband went to talk to him. He stated he was only doing the gables per his boss. The boss called immediately and was irate. He insisted the work was only to paint the gables. I told him we had both a written estimate and video recording [of the renegotiation] stating the work to be done. He insisted we pay more. I asked why, we already agreed and he hung up on me. "

"I signed a contract with this one man company for a 5 figure bathroom remodel on March 17, 2018. He promised it would be a two to four week job. He also told me he had established "crews" that were the best in the business. When the job finally started after two delays the first two sub contractors showed up and quit before starting because of a dispute they had with him over "money". When I contacted the subs and asked them to return they told me they would be happy to if I could work with them directly but that they would never work with him again. I knew I was in trouble at that point. When he found new subs off of craigslist or Facebook marketplace (not what we agreed to) they finally got most of the job done in about 2 months. But they installed the tile backer board incorrectly and the grout kept breaking up. They came back and took out tile and screwed in the backer board but he had ordered the wrong tile so it did not match the rest of the floor. He has now delivered the wrong tile three times. He will go weeks without returning phone calls and his voice mail box is always full. He will not respond to text messages. His main counter top fabricator has refused to do further work for him but they did do a great job for me. I have been trying to get my defective tile replaced for six months. He has promised time and again to come do it but always has an excuse. A month long custody battle had him "at court" every day causing one delay. Then he left for Disney World and promised to be here to fix it on the Monday he returned. Have not heard from him for two weeks after calling and texting every day. There has been excuses and broken promises for six months. This is a classic "dog ate my homework" situation. Someone else is always to blame. Subsequent to hiring him and during the course of the job he bragged to me and his subcontractors one day that he had a run in with some local policemen over a custody issue and he showed us the altercation on the internet. He is very proud of it. I have attached a link so you can view for yourself and form your own opinion. youtube.com/watch?v=8bHk… Personally, had I seen this before signing the contract, I would have never done so. Seeing this, I decided to see if he had anything else on the internet. I subsequently found this link. givesendgo.com/GFQM In this link he posts that he is homeless and living out of his car and is asking for donations to his business through this religious website. He is a one man operation operating out of his car and has no office. He asked for half of the contract amount up front. Had I known he had posted that he was living in his car I would have never done that. He will promise 24-7 service and will promise to be onsite for the job but that was not our experience. During the tile installation I had someone there for two days who did not speak English and when mistakes were made I had no way to communicate so it just had to be done over correctly the next day. He was also supposed to replace three table tops with the left over material from my counter tops as I purchased an entire sheet. He later told me his fabricator mistakenly threw it away. I contacted the fabricator who told me that was not the case. I used this fabricator for counter tops before and know them to be honest and reliable. You will seen in another review he did the same thing to another customer and blamed the same fabricator. I told Travis I would not post negative reviews if he would just complete the job as promised. It's almost 8 months later and I still have an uncompleted job with faulty workmanship that has to be redone. He is nowhere to be found. I just hope this helps others make an informed decision."

FAQs for wood flooring refinish projects in Cedar-island, NC

The hardest wood floor finish is aluminum oxide, but it only comes on prefinished boards. If you want something durable you can add after installation, acid-cured is your best bet. The key to the longevity of any type of wood floor is a maintenance coat when a traffic pattern begins to show in high traffic areas.

Moisture-cured urethane is the most durable finish for homes with pets. However, It contains a lot of (VOCs) that can aggravate pets and people, especially at first. If you’re looking for a low-VOC alternative, water-based polyurethane is your best bet.

Bona sells several highly-rated polyurethane hardwood floor finish products, typically through small, local distributors. Brands like DuraSeal or Minwax also rank well for durability and ease of application. They are available at businesses such as Walmart and Amazon.

You have to seal unfinished hardwood floors to protect them from scratches and stains. The frequency depends on the type, but in general it’s ideal to refinish them between four and six times in their lifetime. This comes out to about every seven to 10 years.

Refinishing hardwood floors costs $1,100 to $2,400.

Wood stain adds a color to the surface. A finish adds a level of shine (e.g. matte, low-gloss, high-gloss) and seals the grain to protect against damage. Some companies, such as Minwax, offer products that do both at once.
