David Potter Flooring

David and his crew did the most amazing job «rediscovering», repairing and refinishing the hardwood floors in our new home (built 1941). The living room had a red oak floor that had a very bad do-​it-​yourself dark (almost black) stain finish. There were bumps and ruts everywhere. I didn’t think it could possibly turn out. There was also some strange piece of stained plywood inset by the air intake to the heater as well. Next, we suspected wood floors under the carpet in both of the bedrooms. Turns out in the master bedroom, there was red oak, but there was a huge strip in the middle missing as a wall had been there years ago. In the guest room, he found Doug Fir, but with linoleum glued to it.
David’s solution was to sand out the dark stain and refinish the living room and replace the plywood inset with red oak, weave the strip area in the living room and refinish the red oak, and completely replace the guest room floor with red oak. In addition, oak heat registers were inset, and transition ramps (between e.g. the bedroom and master bath) and base molding strips (where needed) were added. It was refinished natural color with a matte finish (I believe).
I can’t believe the result. Spectacular. Everything looks brand new and perfectly uniform, the transitions between rooms are absolutely perfect and unnoticeable. The detail is incredible. Everyday I look at them and think about how beautiful they are. I think the price we paid for the amazing result was very reasonable and well worth it.
David is a true pro and artist, in addition to being very friendly and helpful — answering every question. In addition, this was a last minute job on our part and he juggled his schedule to help us meet our move-​in dates and coordinate around the last minute painting we had done at the same time.
I can’t recommend him highly enough.

We met David Potter after going through a nightmare experience with other flooring contractors. He was very genuine, honest and did a great job with our floors on our new addition. He was one of the only contractors in the area that had experience with a no VOC stain and finish, this was important to us as we have young kids and I was pregnant at the time. He accommodated our schedule and finished the job as promised and on schedule. He even made us aware of a significant problem found in our home. He noticed the floors were warped in an area and this was because the furnace had not been properly vented and was venting directly into our home which could be dangerous because of carbon monoxide poisoning. We had someone come out and take a look and they said this was a significant risk to our family, and we credit David Potter for identifying this issue. Before hiring David, we had many questions for him due to our first experience and he was patient and gave us ample time during each call. He is the type of person that goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are serviced properly and we plan on using his services for the second half of our home once we are ready. We highly recommend.
