Dave’s Floor Sanding & Installing Service

The team at Dave’s Floor Sanding is amazing; personable, old school work ethic and all with solid dedicated professionalism. I’ve been working with Dave’s for over a year now. When it comes to hardwood floors in the twin cities metro you just cant get any better than this.

Dave’s did an awesome job! We hired them to sand and finish the floors in our dining room, living room, entryway, hallway, and two bedrooms. They were professional and contacted us throughout the process to keep us updated. We expected to walk into a house covered in dust after they finished — but they did an awesome job with clean up. We would definitely use them again!

Don’t hire Dave’s!
I hired Dave’s to redo my gorgeous maple hardwood floors. The floors had been scratched over the years, but were generally in great condition. Dave’s underbids other flooring companies using workers who, depending on your luck of the draw, don’t care at all about how their work turns out. I walked into my house after the job was done (on day #3) and started crying. I could tell immediately that they were not done well. I assumed that it was all in the top coat. Dave’s agreed to rebuff the top coat and put down a new coat. They said that they would send «one of their two best guys.» This guy was incredibly rude to my sweet nanny. (Saying that she «must work for incredibly picky people» and when she said that we just want the floors done correctly, that «they must’ve paid her to say that.») The floors looked WORSE afterward! Dave’s flooring (specifically, Wayne) assured me that their guy actually did buff the floors and redo the top coat. I hired someone else to redo the top coat. (And, of course, every time I have to have someone come back, it’s another round of moving my entire main floor of furniture off the floors – did it three times!) When they arrived, they quickly assessed that the problem is not in the top coat, it’s in the original sanding job with the floors. Dave’s said that they want to redo the top coat of the floors AGAIN, while refusing to acknowledge that the problem isn’t with only the top coat; the top coat that they supposedly already buffed and recoated. My only recourse is to take my story to social media and hope that at some point someone tells Dave’s that Dave’s lost their business because of what happened to me. In the end, don’t go with Dave’s because it’s a lower price. Hire someone who cares about the job that they do.

What a nightmare. I would never hire Dave’s again.
We had Dave’s sand and refinish the first and second floors of our house. We were given a timeline of between 3 – 4 days for them to complete each phase of the work (+ one day to dry), so we made arrangements to be gone from our house during that time. With a toddler, newborn and 3 cats, this isn’t easy. They were a day late finishing the first phase of our project and a day late with the second story, requiring us to scramble to make alternative arrangements for overnights we hadn’t planned on.
The Dave’s crew called us once each time they began the sanding, but gave us no additional updates about timing throughout the project. When we came home after the second phase was supposed to be complete and dry and I found the Dave’s crew inside still putting down a coat of poly, I was livid. I spoke with a crew member who told me he would get his manager, the manager told me he’d call the front office.. .not a single person could give me an explanation for the delays or take responsibility for the error.
When the crew finally left, we found cigarette butts all over our yard and front entry, and sanding discs, paper towels pop cans and other garbage they left on the inside of the house. They also splattered poly drops all over the walls so now we have to paint the walls again.
I’m very disappointed in the overall service level of this company and would neither hire nor recommend them again to anyone.

Dave’s did a fantastic job refinishing all of the wood floors on our main floor level. Our parquet kitchen floor, living room and two bedrooms were all sanded and refinished. The job was done in a timely manner and the floors look brand new. Their cost was a fantastic value for the amount and quality of the work.

These guys did a great job! They got out the dark stains in my hard wood floors. They refinished my hard wood floors in the living room, dining room and two bedrooms and hallway. It was a big job. The floors look so beautiful and shinny now. They came in with a lower price quote and we’re able to get the job done sooner than other places. They cleaned everything up when they were done. I would definitely go with them again.

These guys did a good job on my living room floor. We originally had carpet, but I tore that up to find wood underneath that was in good condition. We then proceeded to tear up the tile in the entry way and it was as Dave’s flooring described. Mostly wood, with a little tile under tile to tear up. These guys were able to fill in where there wasn’t wood and match it perfectly.
When everything was said and done, I had to replace the floor molding and have a little more carpentry work to do to get it back together. To be honest I thought these guys would do it, but apparently they weren’t able to. Also they could be stronger in their scheduling and communication. We wanted to know when they would be around and know a little bit more about each process. We had to fish around for answers from the guys.
In the end the floors look great, so if you have some patience, hire these guys.
