Ted Birmingham Floor Sanding and Finishing Co., LLC

An absolutely excellent experience! Ted and his crew were able to get me out of a huge jam by sanding and refinishing my floors in only 3 days.nnI called him on a Saturday morning and we moved into the house that thursday. I tried to sand the floors myself at first but after a full day of sanding and not much progress I decided to call a professional. The hardwoods were pre-finished with an aluminum oxide coating, which proved no problem for the sanding crew that showed up.nnThe crews were great to work with and very professional, Ted is very knowledgeable about flooring. I know some of the reviews on here are a bit negative but our experience was great.nnHere a couple notes about the floors:nI had them do about 1300 ftnThe floors were solid Walnut, stained, with an aluminum oxide coating on top.nThey sanded down to raw wood and finish them natural ( no stain).nnThe whole experience was hassle-free and there was minimal dust when they finished. I couldn't be more happy with the job that was done.

Ted Birmingham was referred to us through our neighborhood website and next door neighbor. People from the site have wanted to know if we were pleased with the results. We are ecstatic with the results. They were punctual, professional, accommodating. We ordered matching stained shoe molding for the baseboards and when they showed up with white painted shoe molding, they corrected it the next day. We have recommended them to all the people on our website and half a dozen others, already. We will definitely be using them in the future.

We had a substantial amount of floors pulled up and replaced and others refinished by this company. The scheduling is terrible, they turned up a day early when my contractor was still finishing. Came in, started the work, got in his way and when I asked why I was told that it was convenient for them. Ted the owner is flat out rude and makes it very clear that business will be done at his pace and terms. The crew was sloppy, market up wall, banged equipment around were in a huge rush to get the job done quick rather than right. My second floor needed some expertise to work out the best type of floor and Ted showed his expertise here but coming up with a great solution. However the installer rushed, put down several bad boards and tied to fix it by stuffing putty in the bigger holes. They started putting in thresholds but got short on time so ended up sticking some down in the last few doors that did not match. The list goes on - but finally after a year they just got done. Thats right - a year, they do not follow up, they do not return calls and they do not get the job done. To top it off I get an email asking to schedule the final work on the same day they turned this over to collections - so they know the work is not done but want to get paid even after I paid them 90% 12 months ago and held the rest until the last work gets done. Avoid these guys, they have all the skills to be a good company but the owner is rude, they rush the job and do not fix the mistakes in a timely manner.

We had a herringbone patterned floor that we wanted to be refinished and every other company in the area we brought in for estimates were afraid to attempt the job. That was until Ted Birmingham Flooring came in. Mike took quick measurements, generated a quote before the end of the day and worked closely with us to schedule our job to meet our tight deadline (They started over labor day weekend to make it happen!). The entire 1,500 sqft space was completed within 3 days and they truly look great. Ted Birmingham finishing truly saved the day and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of our floors.

This place is great! If you are shopping around for a place to get your floors done, choose Birmingham because they were on time. Got it done. Were super responsive. And did a fantastic job. Best decision with the new house I've made thus far. Great guy, and staff!
