Mike’s Hardwood Flooring

We were incredibly pleased with Mike’s Hardwood Flooring and would absolutely use them again and recommend them.
We had them pull up the carpet in our upstairs and refinish the hardwoods underneath, about 500 sq ft. I was impressed with their clear communication during the work and frank suggestions about scope of work given the conditions of our floor. I felt like they weren’t trying to upsell me during the process, but rather work together to get the best outcome.
Dust in our home was minimal due to their thorough sheeting/​taping and work started on time and ended on schedule and on budget. I have no idea how they did it, but they got stains out of the wood that seemed to me impossible.
We love the look of our new upstairs and we have Mike’s to thank!

These guys ruined my floor. They sanded and buffed along the floorboards which created a zig zag pattern on the floor at the doorway. Tried to get them to correct and they no showed me twice.

The floors looked exactly how Mike said they would. He honored my request for a more environmentally friendly finish, but still gave his input on why oil based would be better. I appreciated his input and the fact he still did the best he could with my choice. My only criticism is that some of the furniture was dinged or scratched. Mike did directly state that his men are not furniture movers and he would not be liable for any scratches. Nice floors though!

Mike and his team replaced our hardwood floor on the first floor of our home. The work took about 4 days and the price was very competitive. We bought the wood from his showroom which had a pretty good selection. On top of that, the amount he ordered worked out perfectly down to the last board so we did not overpay, which is pretty incredible.
Mike came out to our home personally multiple times to give estimates and make sure everything was satisfactory and he was very easy to work with. Our new floor is holding up great and we’re relieved it turned out so nice.
We’ll be calling him soon to get our second floor done as well!

Got a second quote from Mike, this time to replace and finish one room. I must say, I’m severely disappointed. To replace the wood in a single room, they suggested buffing the rest of the first floor to match the sheen, and offered to reinstall some quarter round that I haven’t gotten around to yet. But keep in mind, the main project is ONE room (basic straight shot kitchen and attached six foot hallway).
For that one room project, they wanted more than the cost of sanding and refinishing the entire rest of the two story house, including a staircase, roughly 18 months ago.
I understand cost of materials is a factor, but this was crazy. When I questioned the high price, I was told that smaller jobs cost more because of «travel.»
Must be nice to do business so that smaller jobs cost more. Why do big jobs at all?

Mikes did our floors recently and they were great. Fair price, very clean and polite and on time and on schedule.
We would definitely use them again and we love love love our floors.

We had quite a bit of hardwood flooring work done.
The kitchen and dining room were hardwood, we asked Mike’s team to resurface it.
We also had carpet in both bedrooms/​hallway/​living room. We had them rip up and dispose of all carpet and lay unfinished hardwood flooring down, sand and stain all flooring.
The job was estimated at taking 4 days and it took exactly that.
I had the luxury of working from home during the process and they guys worked very hard, 8am — 7pm every night.
The one thing we liked was they removed some boards from our original hardwood and staggered in new boards as to make a smooth transition. They also were able to lay hardwood on both crawlspace doors and put baseboards and quarter round around the entire area.
Also staining, they laid almost 750 sq ft of hardwood and stained it all in Royal Mahogany. All of our trim is white and there was no stain splatters anywhere. Amazing.
The one thing that stuck out was their fireplace work. We have a stone fireplace with no straight edges and they work extremely hard to fit the wood around the fireplace, keeping it clean and professional looking.
Laying hardwood is a art, it looks simple but there is a lot of thought process that goes into it. Where to lay your foundation board, transitions, sanding and staining techniques. These guys hit the nail on the head in every category. And to top it off, you can’t beat the price.
Well done, thanks Mike and team.

Mike and his crew just finished laying new hardwood flooring in our condo. They did a great job and we highly recommend them.
Last year we had water damage in 3 out of 5 rooms. Finding a flooring company to come and give a quote was a stressful and daunting task. Mike worked with my schedule to come out and inspect the damages the same day I called. He was able to communicate clearly to me how extensive the damage was and why repairing was not a good option. Mike spoke with my claims adjuster and was able to effectively explain what needed to be done.
Next we meet with Mike at his shop. We went over every concern we had. We scheduled the job and to Mike’s credit everything went as scheduled. Once the repairs started, his crew worked tirelessly, arriving on time every day and working until late every evening. We expected the job to take four days. However, they were able to finish in three days.
Mike’s crew was extremely polite and helpful. For example, we have always had a problem with our front door not properly staying closed. When I asked Carlos if he could adjust the door he not only adjusted that door but all the doors in our condo. They were always respectful of our home and of our neighbors.
We did have one minor issue after the floors where install. Mike took action immediately. They came out within hours and took care of it. We now have beautiful wood floors and happy tale of rehab that we can gladly share with everyone.

These guys were amazing met our deadline which was very tight and finished our floors beautifully!
They were very nice and professional and left the house spotless! Would highly recommend!

Mike’s Hardwood Flooring company did a fantastic job on our floors! He was able to fix a couple of our stairs, ripped out carpet in the bedrooms and finished those floors as well. We are recent homeowners and the floors were the first thing we did prior to moving in and they transformed the home.
His communication is outstanding and his crew got the job done earlier than projected. His price was fair and when we needed the risers on our stairs stained as well as the trim around the stairs, Mike did the work no questions asked.
It was a pleasure to work with him and his crew. I highly recommend Mike!

We chose Mikes due to the great reviews, but I did NOT have the same experience! The two good points were 1. he came in on a very tight timeline, which was wonderful. 2. The floors itself also looks good, but that’s due to his crew. The positives stop there though. After the floors were done, we came in the apartment to take a look and there was stain ALL OVER the shoe moulding. In every room, all the way up. Additionally, when I called to figure the situation out (calmly, like an adult), Mike yelled and blamed ME for the problem. I guess I was supposed to know that I would have to totally redo my trim after the floors– NOT something we discussed. Condescending, lecturing, rude– I’ve never been treated this way by a tradesman, let alone anyone else I’ve ever worked with.
It got to the point that he realized I wasn’t backing down and he knew I would have to totally repaint/​replace the shoe moulding because it looked horrible. He agreed to send his very pleasant team out to fix the problem, but overall it wasn’t worth the 30 min of him yelling at me. Go somewhere else!

Mike installed laminate and hardwood flooring in my home. He is very responsive and came out and gave me my estimates on the same day I called. I had another estimate and the costs were about the same. The reason I chose Mike was because a friend recommended him and was pleased with the results.
For the laminate flooring, I had already purchased the flooring and after Mike and I agreed on the installation cost, he sent out a crew the very next day. In a little over 24 hours, I had my new floor.
For the hardwood flooring, his crew had to: remove some porcelain tile; install new hardwood; sand and stain existing flooring; and address a squeaky floor. It took about a week and they did a phenomenal job.

Mike’s Hardwood Flooring came in after all of our floors in our condo had been replaced. We attempted to finish them ourselves, but the result was disappointing. Like true professionals, they came in and remedied this embarrassing situation! The floors they’d redone — both of our children’s rooms — look great! They were professional, on-​time, and worked with our budget. They cleaned up after themselves and left no trace that they’d been in our home. We recommend them highly! Now, to get to the living room and dining room! Stay tuned!

Mike is a great guy and business owner. He is honest and helpful in giving me a way to update my hardwood floors without a major expense.
I interviewed several hardwood floor companies and was quoted outrageous prices and recommendation to patch up the existing floor that is on it’s last millimeter.
Mike suggested that I put new floors on top of my existing floor and in doing so he was able to remove the squeaking sounds of my floors while providing a brand new look to it as opposed to sanding down and patching up bad spots only to have new problems pop up down the road.
The guys he sent were very detailed oriented and did an amazing job. Only minor issue was that they accidentally stained my mattress so I would recommend that you move all of your valuable furniture out of the rooms they are working in to avoid this in the future. His guys owned up to it and offered to pay me to replace my damaged furniture. What honest people!
Thanks Mike and team!

Mike’s Hardwood flooring did our floors. They sanded and stained our existing hardwood floors, which were in rough condition. Overall, it looks pretty good, but there are quite a few noticeable flaws with the work: uneven sanding, uneven stain in places, and stain on places other than the floors (shoe molding, baseboards, wall, even carpet). Some of the problems we had were remedied, after complaining to the owner; however, we didn’t expect to have these problems when hiring a professional. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone considering refinishing their floors. Overall the work is not bad… but it’s not great either. Also, it’s important to note that Mike himself doesn’t do all the work. Maybe it’s luck of the draw with who does your floors, and I just drew a bad card.

We bought our house on Friday, ripped up carpet on Saturday, and found that the hardwood floors needed to be refinished, with 6 days until the movers arrive with all of our stuff. Talk about time pressure! We called a few refinishers recommended by friends but none were available immediately. A few others didn’t pick up their phones on a Saturday afternoon– perfectly understandable.
So we turned to Unilocal for a recommendation and called a handful of people. A few didn’t pick up their phone, a few gave reasonable quotes. Mike himself answered his phone and said he could have a crew out on Tuesday and his price was 30% less than another flooring company, and just a bit over the price of someone’s (uninsured) cousin who said he could do it. But those Unilocal reviews… how do I know that Mike’s relatives didn’t write those glowing reviews? I was a bit wary.
Mike came over Monday night to take a look at the place and we gave him a key. Twenty four hours later, the floors looked absolutely perfect. Flawless. We arrived as Mike’s brother’s (Joseph’s) crew was applying the second coat of polyurethane. They had installed the thresholds expertly, sanded out a dark spot where a pet had stained it long ago, and the whole floor looks brand new. They also vacuumed the house, including the stairs going into the basement. They really left the place looking better than they found it!
I highly, highly recommend Mike’s Hardwood Flooring. Professional job, personable guys, super experience. I couldn’t be happier.

Two days turnaround. My floors look like new. Great guy to deal with. Saved few $. I’m fully satisfied customer. Thanx Mike.

Mike and his crew did an outstanding job on our hardwood floors. They went above and beyond with stair repairs that we didn’t think were possible!
They were neat and orderly, and had a work ethic not commonly found. They went the extra mile in every sense and left our home clean when the job was done. I highly recommend Mike’s hardwood Floors!

So here was our checklist for choosing a contractor:
Honest: check.
Is competitive with pricing: check.
Is a partner in decision making: check.
Provides a detailed estimate: check.
Schedules the work and keeps to it: check.
Finishes on time: check.
Does beautiful work: check.
Is friendly and responsive: double check.
We used Mike’s Hardwood Flooring to have our floors sanded and finished, and to put down new hardwood in our finished basement. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The work Mike did was impeccable, on time, and within budget.
We had old carpet on our second floor and on our stairs and it was our expectation that we would need to put in new floors there as well. Mike took up the carpet, found hardwood flooring under it, and refinished what was already there, saving us thousands of dollars. There were no shortcuts taken in sizing and pricing the job; by the time Mike was done with his estimate, we thoroughly understood our choices. When the work was completed, it was done exactly as promised.
When we were looking for a hardwood flooring contractor. We got three bids from three very well reviewed hardwood flooring companies on Unilocal.Mike’s estimate was significantly less than the other two. He was also the most responsive and personable. That responsiveness continued through the job. Mike scheduled the work for the last week in December, to be finished on ¹²⁄₃₁. He finished just when he promised (an hour early, actually!). During (and after) the job, when I had a question, I could always reach him.
The work was fantastic. Our floors are gorgeous and have three coats of a very tough Dura Seal finish. Mike was our partner in helping us figure out the best choices to make with our flooring. His crew was professional. They even moved our furniture for us and put it back when they were done! I will recommend Mike’s Hardwood Flooring to anyone I knew who needs a flooring contractor.

We had just put our condo on the market when disaster struck. We rearranged the furniture in our bedroom, only to wake up to a thud in the middle of the night — we must have moved the bed onto a weak patch of floor as the bed had crashed through the boards there.
The next day, I made a few calls to contractors. When I spoke to Mike, he said he would come out in a couple of hours to do an estimate as he was at another job nearby — everyone else I talked to said it would be a few days before they could come. He came out, did a reasonable estimate, so I signed him up.
His crew came out a few days later and fixed our floor in just a couple of hours. I was very happy with the end result. Fast, friendly service seems like a rarity these days, but Mike certainly delivered.
