Using professional-grade equipment, we remove scratches and imperfections, then apply high-quality finishes to protect and rejuvenate your floors, extending their lifespan while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.

Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, our vinyl solutions combine aesthetic appeal with practicality, offering low-maintenance, long-lasting results for residential and commercial spaces.

One of their drivers in their big red vans gave me the middle finger because he ran a red light In downtown St. Paul because he was too impatient for traffic and the safety of others due to summer road construction when I had the right away. Zero professionalism here. Also looking back at past reviews, the owner will say driving isn't a part of their services so they shouldn't be rated for that. Conduct your business with professionalism and hire mature staff and maybe you wouldn't get bad reviews. The behavior of your employees reflects poorly upon your Business.

This has nothing to do with their work and everything to do with their professionalism. I nearly got rear ended on I 35 (north bound just south of Hinkley) because they were speeding quite a bit. When I tried to get out of the left lane, they quickly switched lanes and sped up. I'm not a fan of wreckless driving. I watched them continue to drive wrecklessly with other vehicles. What a terrible representation of a company seeing as their maroon vehicle advertises their company name.

If I could give them zero or -5 stars, I would. Last year in the height of the pandemic, I was having work done on wood floors. In spite of the website saying they wear masks, they refused to wear masks in my house. The mask refusal was while they were sanding, sawing, and using chemicals. you know, things that OSHA and common sense says masks are needed for safety. Oh yeah, by the way, I have signs on my door saying immunocompromised person lives here, please wear a mask.
When I called the business, I was transferred to the owner. The owner proceded to yell at me, was condescending and rude and flat out said he doesn't give a f--- if I am immunocompromised, that if I had required masks they would not have taken the job. You know, a job that requires respirators for safety. They never finished the job and I had to fight to get SOME of my money back after THEY broke the contract. Run. Far and fast. Do NOT use this business

Outstanding work! Dave's floor sanding is very good to work with and their crew was able to answer all my questions about different types of products. They have their own separate crews for demo, install and staining. They must really hand pick the people they have working for them. Very professional! I will refer them to anyone I know I need of wood floor services. Thank you Dave's!
