What Cork Homeowners Say

James and his colleagues did an outstanding job of sanding and varnishing our hall and living room this week. Their professional manner, patient explanations of the process involved and efficient workmanship were exemplary. Our pitch pine floors look amazing again after 20 years of neglect. Many thanks.
James is great. Very professional and reasonably priced. He did a great job on our floors and had them done in record time with no dust because of his specialist machines (main reason why we went with James). Very clean. Highly recommended

Just had my hall floor sanded and refinished. James came out and give suggestions for colour and a very detailed account of the process. Jeff and James came out just a few days later to get started on the job. I hated the orange colour in the wood and wasn't sure it could be changed to something I liked. When I seen the finished floor I was so happy. It looks amazing and the finish is second to none. No orange in sight. Jeff and James did an amazing job. I only wish I had of done it years ago. I can not recommend them highly enough.

I’m thrilled with the transformation. The crew was efficient and clearly takes great pride in their craft. The 'dustless' sanding lived up to the promise—minimal cleanup was required after they finished. Great value for the quality provided!".

I recently had my floors sanded and finished, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the service was professional, reliable, and of the highest standard. James and Jeff arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept everything clean and tidy throughout the process. The transformation of my floors is incredible – they look brand new and have completely lifted the look of our home. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship really stood out, and it’s clear they take great pride in what they do. Communication was excellent, with everything explained clearly and no surprises along the way. I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering floor sanding. A top-class job and well worth it!
