"Aaron is a true professional with dedication to his craft. He is also an excellent consultant on options that will hold up over time. Once the project starts, your interests are represented well as he make choices that lead to an excellent finished product. His prep work in particular and surface preparation was impressive. I have no doubt these will be long lasting floors and if I need repairs or other support later he will be there to provide insight and options. <br /> <br />"
