One of their drivers in their big red vans gave me the middle finger because he ran a red light In downtown St. Paul because he was too impatient for traffic and the safety of others due to summer road construction when I had the right away. Zero professionalism here. Also looking back at past reviews, the owner will say driving isn't a part of their services so they shouldn't be rated for that. Conduct your business with professionalism and hire mature staff and maybe you wouldn't get bad reviews. The behavior of your employees reflects poorly upon your Business.

This has nothing to do with their work and everything to do with their professionalism. I nearly got rear ended on I 35 (north bound just south of Hinkley) because they were speeding quite a bit. When I tried to get out of the left lane, they quickly switched lanes and sped up. I'm not a fan of wreckless driving. I watched them continue to drive wrecklessly with other vehicles. What a terrible representation of a company seeing as their maroon vehicle advertises their company name.

If I could give them zero or -5 stars, I would. Last year in the height of the pandemic, I was having work done on wood floors. In spite of the website saying they wear masks, they refused to wear masks in my house. The mask refusal was while they were sanding, sawing, and using chemicals. you know, things that OSHA and common sense says masks are needed for safety. Oh yeah, by the way, I have signs on my door saying immunocompromised person lives here, please wear a mask.
When I called the business, I was transferred to the owner. The owner proceded to yell at me, was condescending and rude and flat out said he doesn't give a f--- if I am immunocompromised, that if I had required masks they would not have taken the job. You know, a job that requires respirators for safety. They never finished the job and I had to fight to get SOME of my money back after THEY broke the contract. Run. Far and fast. Do NOT use this business

Outstanding work! Dave's floor sanding is very good to work with and their crew was able to answer all my questions about different types of products. They have their own separate crews for demo, install and staining. They must really hand pick the people they have working for them. Very professional! I will refer them to anyone I know I need of wood floor services. Thank you Dave's!

We got quotes from a few companies for our floor refinishing project before going with Dave's. Not only was Dave's the best option value-wise, but they were the only team that was confident they could remove our carpet padding that had adhered to the wood floor. Dave's crew has more skill and expertise than their competitors and can execute a project with timely precision. The before and after pictures speak for themselves! If you're comparing companies for a project, look no further. Dave's is the best.

This company is a mess. Please use someone else. I was charged $1200 and had to repeatedly call to get mistakes fixed and was ultimately left spending more time cleaning up after them and fixing their mistakes myself. Attached is a pic of the tile they did not protect or clean up after I repeatedly asked them do so. The first guy they sent showed up intoxicated, did not sand the floor before applying poly and got poly on the bathroom floor tile because he didn't put down any protection.
Second guy showed up to fix the floor and told me he would move the refrigerator after I offered to move it but did not. I asked for tile to be cleaned up and it was not. I came back after they finally completed the job to find the tile still not cleaned up, the brand new countertop scratched and having to clean up a lot of debris from the floor sanding.
