I used Williams to refinish the floors in my house. Overall, they did a good job, and finished early. Some spots were rough after the stain and coat, but that's OK. The reason I didn't give it a 5-star was because they did not put a transition piece from my dining room to my three seasons room. The rep mentioned they usually don't do that after I pointed it out, but offered to drop a piece of trim off (which was very nice of him). However, it's been over 1.5 months, ,a nd I still have not received the trim. I'd use Williams again do to their low cost, but definitely make sure you get all the transition pieces you need.

After some scheduling hiccups. the work done was excellent. We had 3 bedrooms refinished. The process was truly dustless and the work was done quickly (he even stayed longer the first day to get them all sanded and the first coat of poly on). The refinished floors look amazing! Service: Restoration

Bought 1200 square feet of 3/4" x 2 1/4" oak flooring. BEST price in Cleveland/Akron areas! Wood was without compromise for quality and installed as expected. Customer service was helpful and courteous. Also purchased Bona finish. Had a couple unopened bundles leftover which they took back. I can't recommend them enough and would buy from them again without a second thought.

Tried and true flooring business that has been around for a long time, and for good reason. They do everything from residential to full hardwood basketball courts. The sales team is genuine and truly want you to be happy in your choices, with no pressure. Installers are experienced and informative and you can tell they've been doing this stuff for awhile. The entire team top to bottom are patient and informative with any questions. I hope these guys continue to thrive.

I really like dealing with this place. Even if you're only coming in to pick up a few pieces of wood for a small repair, they treat you like you have a million dollar account. Been here a few times and they've never steered me wrong. It's nice going into small local businesses because they need you to stay in business. And it shows! Keep up the great work and I'll keep telling everyone who asks about floors to come your way!
