Very poor experience with this company in late September 2011. Was clear, in conversation with the workers, that the company rents the refinishing equipment and subcontracts employees. Salesman Chris promised hands-on supervision but was never seen at the worksite once. Never even called the night before the work was to start in order to confirm anything. I called him, and I received a brief text message in response. Chris didn't follow up on anything he promised. In the middle of the job, the workers stopped showing up---they literally abandoned the work. My husband called the main number. Explained that he had concerns about Chris. Secretary immediately responded, ""Yeah, he's done some slimey things lately. We don't know how much longer he's going to be with the company."" Lovely. My husband was transferred to Chico. He promised to look into the matter and return a call to my husband within 10 minutes. We never heard from him again. Period. My husband made two further calls, and Chico was never available, nor did he return the calls. We are contemplating a small claims action at this point. I would never use this company again. It's clear from the reviews that service is very hit-or-miss. I don't think this is a reputable company or even a substantial company that owns equipment/has regular employees and has the capability to stand by it's work. In retrospect, for instance, I would ask for insurance information, in case the subcontracted employees create substantial damage in your home. If you want a cut-rate experience that could easily go bad, then take your chances with this company, I guess. If you are looking for a legitimate refinishing company (as I was) then I would never use this company. The outcome is too und=certain.
