Hired Andy to install new Jatoba hardwood in my livingroom/dining room area as well as redo the railings on two floors. For the most part Andy was amazing in his professionalism and his craftmanship. I say for the most part because his "apprentice" was the one who actually did most of the hardwood floor install while Andy built the railings/installed some trim. Once finished and the dust had settled I was surprised by the amount of brat nails (some sticking out) that where used and quite visable to install the floor. I should mention though that this floor was installed in a 100 year old house where nothing is level, not even close. I'm sure working with an extremely hard wood like Jatoba didn't help. After nailing in the several protruding brat nails and detailing with a black sharpie marker the nails are harder to see. The railing that Andy worked on was done well but In the future make sure to paint and/or stain before final install. Very difficult after.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your business and time to write the review. I apologize for not checking my "apprentice" work but as you know wood provided by you had it own deficiency and was very hard to work with. In order to work with your budget we were not providing the final touchups.
I agree it is very hard to stain and paint finished product so try avoiding doing this yourself and have a trade do it for you.
Your business is much appreciated.
