Customers are the best judge

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

We often get asked about dustless sanding by many customers. We are known for using this technology and use it on jobs as much as possible. The system really does work amazingly and I can “pitch” that all day. It is much better when the observation comes from someone other than me because third party objective review is the strongest voice. We have reviews on the web at sites like Yelp. What’s even better is when you have a client send a small note in an invoice without us asking for a review. Here is a scan of the small Post-It note that we got from our client Shawn in a payment recently. It makes our day to know we are doing our job and people really feel value to our service!

Oh, So you do that too…

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

The title of this blog may seem a little odd, but it serves a purpose. Sometimes there is a little bit of confusion to the services my company offers in the world of wood flooring in Portland. My portfolio on the website could possibly lead people to believe that our work is only high end and custom work. The truth is that 90% of the hardwood floor installations we undertake are adding new flooring to an existing wood floor and refinishing the whole floor. I will walk you through this with a couple of step by step photos. In the first photo is where the floor ended after a wall was taken out in a remodel by my friends at Envi Construction. In the next photo, you can see where we removed a selected number of boards so that we may integrate, in a random pattern, new flooring. The goal we seek to accomplish is making the new floor and the old floor look harmonious in every way. Afterwards, new matching flooring was installed and sanded and finished for a contiguous appearance. There are a couple of tricks to ensuring a proper appearance that involve grading and specifying the mill providing the material. Depending on the mill and the region of production some flooring (particularly red and white oak) can be quite variable in the tones. This difference doesn’t become evident until sanding, so specifying product relies on a particular attention to detail and experience.
