Shane and his father were extremely helpful in our search for floors. They had the best selection of floors, better than three other stores we had been to. He guided us through some pros and cons of the flooring and also install considerations. I would go back to him immediately if we ever need flooring in the future and i will recommend him to family and friends. You really can't go wrong with them.

We liked our floors when we moved in and they needed a big refresh with some patch work. The end result of what Ability did is incredible. The floors look beautiful and I will be using Ability for any work on our floors in the future. They were passionate about the word they did and it shows.

Alex was so helpful in selecting an engineered hardwood. He encouraged us to take multiple samples home to ensure we made the right choice. Whenever we had a question, Alex would always respond in a day. Ability was one of the few contractors who were so professional.

Ability is the best company I have ever worked with. I used them for a wood wall project I was working on. They supply high quality wood products. Alex is very knowledgeable, he makes excellent recommendations and will go to extensive lengths to find the products and instruction necessary for your project. He always responds promptly to requests, which is hard to find now a days. I trust Alex and Ability completely and will exclusively use them for all future flooring needs.
