TESTIMONIALS
"Outstanding work was done by Alex. I would hire this company again and recommend them to others.
Alex is honest and hard working. We had a living room that was covered with carpet. When it was removed, we found that only half was hard wood. The other half was plywood. Alex installed white oak where the plywood was and refinished our old oak floors. They look spectacular!
We ran into a surprise when the refrigerator was pulled out. The water line had been leaking and rot and fungus had set in right to the joist. It was a mess but Alex worked overtime to get the job done. He didn't over charge us for the expected repair. In fact he got the whole 900 square feet of floor done on time. We are very happy our floors." -Valerie
"Alex was always available on the phone prior to the work. He arrived on time, moved out the heavy furniture, and tore out and disposed of the carpeting. He was also kind enough to dispose of the smaller rugs we had been using in the kitchen. He installed the new planks for the floor and blended them in very carefully with the oak in the kitchen. We have a rough rock fireplace and he carefully shaped each board so it looks as though the flooring had been there from the start. The stain matches our floor perfectly. He applied the Swedish finish after we had left the house and when we returned everything was very clean. The room looks beautiful. I would definitely use Alex's services again." -Dorothy
"Alex Babko, the owner, came out and did the estimate and actually performed the work himself. Earlier this year, he installed wood floors in my sister's home (nearly the entire house), and also sanded some floors that another friend planned to finish himself, so I already seen his work and knew it was high quality. However, I was really impressed by the fact that he got back to me right away, emailed and called when he said he would, came early to work, and in short: kept his word on every aspect of the job. Also, he really listens to what you want and follows through with it. It took several hours more than he estimated, but he stuck to his bid. My house is 15 years old and the downstairs was already all wood, and he got a great match in the prefinished wood. I plan to have him come and install some carpet this winter. It's just never fun to have the flooring installed, but Alex made it as painless as possible. He's the best." -Maureen
"Alex was punctual and perfectly right-on with his estimates that I gave him via E-Mail. Was extremely polite with myself/wife/2 young boys and explained to us the entire process before beginning work. Was extremely patient with all questions both before and after the work was done. I live a ways out of his normal service area but he was willing to do the work and even looked over pictures I had taken ahead of time. He gave an estimate over E-Mail (and noted he couldn't be exact of course) and came to get the work done at the agreed date.
His estimate over E-Mail was pretty much dead on so we agreed to do the work. Was exactly on time, on budget, and the floors look amazing now. We had a few questions afterwards on the care of our floors and a stair that didn't look exactly how we expected. Alex offered to come fix it right away. (However we realized it was just that we weren't used to how the floors look all polished up and we did not need him to come back).
Overall simply excellent work. Great job Alex!"

"I purchased a rental home I plan to move into, the home had been poorly maintained for many years; the oak flooring was no exception. In areas the finish was completely worn through, stained, and many gapped boards. I thought the only solution was carpeting over the hardwood. Preferring to keep the hardwood, about 750 sq ft, I used Angie’s list to find a refinisher close to the area, Vision flooring was the closest and had positive reviews. I met Alex for the estimate, where he surveyed the project and assured me the flooring, although in rough shape, was worth refinishing. His estimate seem very reasonable and his confidence the floors will look good after refinishing, made my decision to schedule the work to be done without seeking more estimates.
The work started on schedule, finished on schedule, completed right on the estimate, and look terrific. The blemished areas were filled and repaired, now blend in, not the eye sore that stood out before repair. I asked for three top coats of oil finish to be applied for durability.
This is the third contractor I have used from Angie’s List (plumber and chimney repair) all have met expectations; Vision Flooring is no exception, exceeding expectation based on cost/results."
