Solid hardwood flooring comes in three styles: Narrow strips, wider planks and random width planks. Hardwoods also can be purchased as Unfinished or Prefinished. Hardwood floors can be refinished multiple times over the life of the floor. They can be installed above or on grade but should not be installed below grade. Also, don’t install hardwoods where water can spill such as bathrooms and laundry rooms.

[Windows] [Doors] [Countertops]
We recently had your company replace our windows, doors, and countertops. I must complement your company on the quality of work, and the conduct of your employees during the time they were here.
Unlike so many other projects I’ve had done, this was the first time all time lines were met or were early. Your workers were very careful to protect the areas near where they were working and always done an excellent clean up after the job was done.
There supervisor, Rick, was always there and kept me informed of the multiple questions my wife and I had and personally done many of the jobs himself and made sure that the quality control was strictly adhered to, and is still keeping me informed as to the sink cutout that I’ve yet to receive. I personally recommend my good friend, Don M., to you for countertops.
Once again, thank you for a great job and we commend Rick and his staff for making this such a pleasant experience.
