Dave was wonderful to work with and exceeded our expectation. We just purchased our first home and our first floor has wide plank eastern white pine floors which were pretty badly beat up. Not only that but the previous owner had drilled holes to pull cable wires through. Dave not only filled in the holes but he brought our floors back to life. We knew from the start we wanted someone who knows a lot about working with older wood floors (our floors will be turning 100 in a couple of years) and Dave was just the guy. He helped us make decisions along the way and his prices were very fair considering how precise he is. He is someone who takes his time to make sure the job is done right and well. Well be giving Dave a call again when we want to refinish the oak floors upstairs!
JAK did an amazing job on our floors! David was professional, honest and extremely responsive throughout the whole process.We just bought our first house and changed courses a few times. David was always very quick to answer our questions and work out the details. We had him refinish some of our existing floors and then install new hardwoods to match so the entire first floor of the house was cohesive. He did a seamless job and the floors came out BEAUTIFUL!!! He was honest and stayed true to the timeline to complete the job. Highly recommend David and his crew! The dust containment system was also great and well worth the extra cost - hardly any dust clean up after!
David worked on our entire second floor and stairway to strip and refinish according to our specifications. Not only did he do a beautiful and thorough refinishing, he was meticulous in his work, always a smile on his face, very cooperative, came in early morning 7:30 AM and at times did not finish until 7:00 PM in the evening while only taking about 30 minutes for lunch.we have gone out of our way to share his contact information with paint stores, and moving companies as well as all of our friends. We highly recommend JAK Wood Flooring LLC!!
Where do I begin? First: Im usually not a fan of writing reviews online so the fact that Im doing this one means a lot. Second: JAK Wood Flooring and David Vargas, specifically, really earned this review. My floors are breathtakingly beautiful. After multiple tests of different colors (and David was really understanding about all of the additions I threw at him on short notice), I ended up selecting Rubio Monocoat Oil (Black). Its quite an investment but one that I do not regret making. In my view, the results are far more striking than the typical approach to refinishing hardwood floors with a smelly stain and poly coating. I learned a lot about Rubio Monocoat products (really good for the wood and NOT full of VOCs that are not good for people or pets) and Im a true believer now. I know there will be some maintenance in the future but that doesnt worry me as the floors really are a long term investment that need to be protected. I shared a few of the many pictures I have of these gorgeous floors.
We were EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome of the refinishing of our wood floors . David was very professional, always on time He explained everything in detail to us - no surprises! His work was meticulous and absolutely no dust left behind. We feel VERY comfortable in recommending him.
This is the second time that I have used JAK Wood flooring. The first time was to replace my floors after water damage. Their work is excellent and very meticulous. We did not hesitate to contact David to sand and refinish the floors in our new home. He again did a superb job. His pricing is very fair for the quality of service you get. I would highly recommend them.
This is the second floor JAK Wood has refinished for us and we couldnt be happier with the results. We worked with David and he was extremely helpful - he answered all of our questions and visited our house several times to assess the situation as we tore up carpet and plywood in preparation to have work done. Our home is over 100 years old and we really wanted to salvage the original floors, so we were thrilled when David told us that it would be tough but doable. He and his team were able to get out a large stain, lay new wood where it was needed, and make everything blend seamlessly together. The floors look amazing and we are so grateful!
Dave is a dedicated, highly professional craftsman who worked on my house for over five days. He spent long hours on his knees repairing severely damaged floors from steam radiators and holes from their removal. There was never a question about his level of expertise as he was recommended to me by Eli, the Patch Master, another extremely competent and reliable worker that I had the good fortune to find.Dave repaired four rooms and two hallways of my 100 year old house. He came when he said he would come and worked the entire day without leaving the house. He was knowledgeable and actually put two different colors of stain along with the natural finish so that I could see the colors in my house not just on a piece of paper.You will not find a more talented, hard working man who is respectful, neat, and thorough. You get what you pay for never rang truer for me. Dave is worth it!!!
There are installers, there are those that do repair work, there are refinishers...and then there is David Vargas. David is from another era, when this work was performed by true craftsmen who loved what they did, and mastered it. My 1790 wide plank flooring was a disaster. I was hesitant about refinishing it, afraid that some clod with a sander and too heavy of a hand would destroy it. David came in here, working meticulously, often on his hands and knees performing more steps than I ever could have imagined to restore these ailing, ancient floors. He also beautifully corrected splintered areas, and filled holes where the boneheads who owned the house before me had drilled holes to run cable lines...theywere unsightly and now it as if they were never there. He expertly corrected a difficult transition area that i figured would never look good...but now it does. I do need to back track a bit though to say that the first time I called..David answered the phone himself. David came to give the estimate...and David did the work...none of this...one person in the office, another comes for the estimate, and yet another does the work. You are always dealing the owner. How refreshng...how unusual. What a find! now my only problem is, having just spent a ton on gorg new kitchen, finding a small bank to knock off so that David can restore all my other floors.
We have used JAK Wood Flooring at three different homes over the past few years and each time has been a great experience. David and his team are very professional: they show up on time, complete the work as scheduled, and have excellent workmanship. We have had floors refinished and new flooring installed, and all projects came out very nice. Plus, David has a wealth of experience on what colors and finished are best to use for each project. We highly recommend JAK Wood Flooring.
If youre having a hard time picking between high quality work, attention to detail, great price, and a great team to be in your house while they are working, you dont have to compromise at all. JAK Wood Flooring checks all of those boxes. It doesnt matter how big or small the job, their expertise and wisdom makes the process easy and painless. When you dont know exactly how to finish the job, trust their recommendations. You will not be disappointed!Thank you JAK Wood Flooring for making our very old floors be the spotlight again!
Im a general contractor. Ive rarely seen a more conscientious craftsman.
We couldn’t be happier with the quality of work and professionalism demonstrated by the professionals at JAK Wood Flooring. In less than a week, our floors underwent a transformation from old, discolored, and dirty to a brand new life of warmth and vibrancy that exceeded all our expectations. I’d recommend at least receiving a quote from this company — their pricing breakdowns are transparent and more than reasonable, and I strongly believe their services are worth it.TLDR; stop scrolling, this is the one to choose.
I cant say enough good things about David and the crew at JAK Wood Flooring. They were experienced, detailed, and extremely professional. I almost went with carpet, fearing that these old hardwood floors couldnt look like new again. I was wrong. Ive attached before and after photos to show the transformation. The best decision and investment I made for my home was trusting David and JAK Wood Flooring. Dont waste your time and money anywhere else.
David and his team did a phenomenal job redoing the wood floors in our new house. He offered great explanations and advice. The work was done efficiently and smoothly. I would highly recommend JAK Flooring!
They did a great job. Detail was excellent. They were very professional, clean, and the price was good 👍
From the very first call, we knew we wanted to work with JAK Wood Flooring. David offered to review the project (three bedrooms, original heart pine floors, circa 1908) the very next day and provided affordable quotes within the week. He explained every detail of the process and gave us several options regarding ventilation, stain, and water versus oil-based polyethylene. He and his team worked quickly and efficiently and the final product is impeccable. I’m still in awe when the sun hits our new floors. Highly recommend!
David did a amazing job! We are so happy with our floors, it completely changed the room. JAK was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend for anyone looking for wood floor repairs.
I cannot recommend Dave and his crew enough if you need to have your wood floors refinished. Every step of the process from beginning to end was seamless and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Dave even came out on his own watch to talk a carpenter through a floor repair that needed to be performed before he could proceed with the refinishing project. A++++++++ service, value, quality, and professionalism!!
JAK Wood Flooring did an amazing job installing and refinishing hardwood in our new home. Owner David took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answer all my questions. He was also highly accommodating of our tight timeline. I would highly recommend them.
David at JAK Wood Flooring did a phenomenal job with 3 bedroom floors at my fathers house. It was the house I grew up in built in the early 1900s and I havent seen the actual wood flooring in over 50 years! JAK also resurfaced floors for another family member with similar results. I would highly recommend JAK Wood Flooring without any reservation.
I highly recommend JAK Wood Flooring. David and his crew arrived on time and their work is meticulous. I hesitated to have my floors refinished because of the dust from past experiences but the dust containment system is well worth the extra cost. There was little to no dust. David was very easy to work with. I am very pleased with their work. My floors look beautiful.
We recently purchased a home and had David and his crew resurface/restain some areas and install new red oak hardwoods throughout the entire 2nd floor. We could not be happier with the results. They came recommended from 2 other family members which had used them years ago. David was extremely responsive and even came back after the project ended to drop of some leftover pieces for us to have as requested. He answered all of our questions promptly even gave us 3 sample stains in different areas of the house to choose from and see in different lighting. The house is almost 3000 sq ft and we are so pleased with the result. We wouldn’t change a thing! Recommended to all our friends and family. Knowledgeable, hardworking, communicative and pleasant to work with. So happy we chose them!
I never post public reviews, but JAK deserves this. Working with David and his team was an absolutely pleasure from start to finish. Professional, friendly, respectful of my home AND the covid situation, delivered what he he promised on schedule, and all the rooms were spotless by the time he left. I have worked with many contractors and only wish they all worked as hard and as well as David. I had the entire 2nd floor of my home done with Rubio Monocoat (which is not common or offered by many floor finishers....) and the results were fabulous. Additionally, his excellent follow-up and availability afterward was/is outstanding. I cant give this guy and his team enough stars.
Four years ago, JAK Wood Flooring restored all of the hardwood floors in our home. They were by far the easiest and best company that we worked with during our moving/renovation process. And, we loved the results. Our floors remain gorgeous. About a month ago, a falling vacuum cleaner damaged one of our hardwood stair treads, splintering the wood. Even though the overall project size was small, we needed a pro to correct the damage and ensure uniformity among the stairs. Our first call was to JAK Wood Flooring. Even though the project was not exactly in their wheelhouse, they happily took it on, created a reasonable solution to the problem, and once again turned out beautiful work. We cannot recommend the professionals at JAK Wood Flooring highly enough.
Nothing speaks louder about quality than the pride that the team of professionals took in their work. On time, neat, efficient, and sincere.
Dave and his crew did an excellent job matching my old hardwood floors to the new flooring installed in my kitchen. Dave was always there when you had a questions or concerns about the finished product. Would highly recommend this company for any wood flooring installation.
JAK Wood Flooring did such a beautiful job - I couldnt be happier. I had 2 floors of an older house done and it has transformed the entire look and feel of our home. In addition, the work was timely and everyone was completely professional and reliable. I highly recommend them.
This is our third time using JAK Flooring and my wife and I could not be happier with our experience! Through every step of the process Dave was very helpful and a great communicator. He was very prompt on coming to the house and also providing detailed quotes with various options. Our project consisted of installing new, unfinished, flooring in a room (off the entry foyer) that previously had carpet. We wanted the new flooring to connect to our foyer, ensuring it looked like it was always there, which required the expertise of someone who was well versed in weaving in new flooring with existing. Not only did Dave ensure us the floor would match the existing, he also provided suggestions on blending different quality wood to ensure it matched the rest of the house. The rest of the project consisted of refinishing portion of the first floor using their dustless system and 3 coats of water based poly. Dave and his team delivered beautiful quality work! Dave and his team arrived on time each morning, worked professionally, diligently and with amazing craftsmanship to create a whole new look for our foyer and office. We are so happy we chose to once again hire JAK for this project!
It has been about a month now since my floors were done by JAK Wood Flooring and I am absolutely still in love with them!!!I worked with David’s father about 12 years ago when I first moved into my home. It had wall to wall carpet (which I don’t care for) and we removed it and he did a wonderful job with bringing the floors to life. They were just amazing! 12 years and two dogs later my floors were in desperate need of a make over and I thought about Tito. I reached out to him only to learn that he had retired and his son (David) was now leading the charge.Working with David was an absolute delight from start to finish. He is extremely professional and personable and truly takes his time to understand your needs. I wanted to change my floors from oak to a darker stain and he was very knowledgeable and walked me through the process. On the day of the job they were here promptly and immediately got to work (meanwhile my boyfriend and I were still trying to move things out of their way :-). They showed me samples of the stains live and David provided me with great feedback to help me decide. The job took about a week. David kept me informed each day of the progress and he totally completed the project as he estimated. When we did the final walkthrough my jaw dropped! I felt like I was on an HGtV show and we were doing the big reveal. Beautiful new wood floors, every detail was captured and you could tell that the job was done with extreme care and concern for your home and for your benefit. You could just feel it running through every room. Done to perfection!I couldn’t be more complimentary of JAK Wood Flooring and David and his team. Smart, professional, caring, down to earth...I could go on and on. If you are thinking of your next floor project. Give them a call. You won’t regret it! Thanks again David and team!!
This company was referred to us by a trusted acquaintance and we were not disappointed. David was highly professional and so was his crew. We are highly satisfied and I feel better educated about the upkeep and maintenance because of David.
We were looking for someone to come do our floors since December of 2018. Had about 5 or 6 different companies come by and give in person estimates. Some never replied to follow up questions after we ripped up our carpets, others weren’t willing to work with us to address squeaking floors even though we had seen a method to some of the squeak without ripping up floor boards.David came in, and he was the only one to say he could help with the squeaking without ripping up the floor and starting from scratch. He was also the only one that asked to see the underside of the floor from the basement. This was enough to convince us that he met our needs and more.The day after sanding and first round sealing David told me of the issue he had with the floors. He wasn’t satisfied with the look of the stain when applied so his team got to work re-sanding the floors and doing it over again. In addition he pointed out something that we would have never caught unless he told us himself. We appreciated his honesty with us.We can’t recommend JAK enough. Our floors were in pretty rough shape but David and his team managed to bring life back to these floors and knock off one of our biggest Home To Do projects.
David and his team did an amazing job refinishing the original hardwood floors in our home. They look fantastic and the project was done on time and within budget. We really appreciated that David was always reachable for our questions! Highly recommend.
They were referred to me by my neighbor. Before he came to my house I had (2) other people come to my house. Within (10) minutes I hired them. After 32 years I removed my carpeting and my floors look absolutely beautiful. Also. When they are done I had NO dust anywhere from the work. I highly recommend them and will be using them for my LR/DR and staircase
