Ron immediately responded to my request for a quote and came to my house that same day. He accurately measured my existing hardwood area for refinishing and the carpeted area for new hardwood installation. I honestly didn't know how much this work would cost but his price was better than I was expecting. On request he came back 2 days later (on a Saturday) to meet my wife and discuss the job again. We agreed to hire him and agreed to start date 2 weeks later. He did not ask me to sign a contract or give him any money, which is unusual in today's world. I gave him a small down-payment when he delivered the new hardwood a few days before the job start date.
Ron did everything he said he would do. He promptly answered all my questions before and during the project (and I had a lot of them). His employees (no sub-contractors) were polite, skilled, and hard-working. The job was completed in 4 days and it looks beautiful.

Ron and his team at Howell’s HardwoodFloors did a great job refinishing 1,000 sq ft of cypress flooring, repairing the damage done by the previous vendor. Not only were they able to completely eliminate the damage but did so even more quickly than promised. When he ran into an issue with the oils from the floor not working with the original choice of stain and finish, he made it right at the original quoted price, despite having to do the work twice and scrap the materials used. Very professional, high quality work.

Howells HardwoodFloors did a fantastic job at our new house. The brand-new floors were ruined by a contractor hired to do several projects in our home. They never protected the floors with tarps or cardboard. Paint and drywall compound were imbedded in the floors throughout the house. Howells HardwoodFloors did their magic and made them look new again. We highly recommended them and give 5 stars plus!!!

We had a great experience. We had our oak floors touched up and they look so much better. Service was friendly and professional.
