After reviewing multiple hardwood refinishing companies on Homestars and then requesting a few quotes, it was an easy choice to go with Will and Arizza at Willow Flooring! Not only was their quote competitive with the other highly-rated companies I spoke with but also Will really made you feel like he cared about you as a customer. I had really dark maple hardwood and I wanted to lighten it up by removing the dark staining. But I couldnt decide whether I should leave it with the natural wood color afterwards or apply a stain to avoid the stark contrast with my dark cabinets. Will and Arizza showed me lots of photos from other jobs they had performed like mine and also explained some of the risks with staining maple (can look a bit blotchy). So to help make the decision easier, on the first day of the job they sanded down a section of the floor and applied two different products to show me the difference. That made it so much easier to make the decision! How did it turn out? Absolutely beautiful! I love my newly refinished hardwood floors so much! My house is so much brighter. And Wills attention to detail is unbelievable. Even around the uneven surfaces of the fireplace (which had to be sanded by hand!) it was absolute perfection! I will certainly recommend Willow Flooring to everyone I know. Thanks, Will & Arizza for doing such a beautiful job!

I live in a 5-year old infill duplex in the Northwest and got worried about the condition of my roof when my attached neighbor had significant water damage to their spare bedroom during the spring thaw. I called three roofing companies that I found on Homestars with high reviews. The first company wanted to charge me $175 just to come give me a quote so I dropped them immediately. The second company came with a crew of 3 just to inspect the roof, and then informed me that the repairs are done under a different company name (for which I could find very little info on Homestars). That made me a bit uneasy and their quote seemed high. Finally I called Hubbard and am relieved that I chose them. The first thing that impressed me was the professionalism of their quote. Cody went up on my roof and took several photos of the areas of concern and then took the time to annotate each photo, drawing arrows and circling places that needed to be fixed. They determined that my roof was in pretty good shape and all that was needed was to replace some missing shingles, add proper screws around the skylight (instead of the nails that were used originally), and seal some areas where ice damming would be a concern. And as a bonus, the quote was half what the previous roofer quoted! On the day of the repair, Glenn was dispatched to perform the work. He wore full safety harness and gloves while up on the roof (glad to see they take safety seriously) and took the time to talk to me before doing the work. After spending 2 hours up on the roof he had completed all the repairs and gave me a full debrief on everything he had done. It was clear to me that both Glenn and Cody are proud of their work and take extra care to ensure the customer is happy. They completed the job on time, on budget and left me feeling relieved that my roof was now restored to good condition. Thank you Hubbard Roofing for a job well done! Matt

I was very impressed with Call the Mover. I needed a full service mover including packing services to move my entire house into storage because I was leaving the country and renting out my house unfurnished. I saw that Call the Mover had really good reviews on Home Stars and it's easy to see why. John responded quickly to my inquiries, provided a competitive quote, and made the process smooth. He and his team (Amy & Luke) showed up promptly at 8:30a and immediately got to work. While Amy carefully wrapped all my glassware and kitchen stuff, the guys started wrapping all the furniture. They were careful in protecting anything that was delicate or breakable and spent extra time protecting mirrors and art work. Overall I was very pleased by their balance of care and moving efficiently. We managed to fill every square inch of my storage facility and that took some real tetris skills to get it all in! I would highly recommend John and his team and look forward to using them again for any future moves. Thanks, John, Amy and Luke! Matt
