    Lots of issues. He did come back and fix. Expected much better work from talking with him. Would not recommend

    I had another hardwood floor expert come and look at the job that was done in the hallway living room and steps. It was established that the floors were not sanded enough leaving large spots of old finish that resulted in different stain spots not being removed. There are also bubbles in the top coat. The corners were also done improperly resulting in old stain being left on.. the steps did not have old stain removed and the proper sanding tools were not used resulting in lack of adhesion to varnish as well as old stain not removed. I had initially sent a complaint to Angi and the owner shouted at me over the phone and said I shoild have contacted him directly and he said he would fix it. He then come over and yelled at me at and my husband he said he would not fix floors unless we removed our complaint from Angi's list and provide him with a positive review. After trying to live with the awful job he did I finally contacted a highly respected flooring company with over 20 years experience to look at the work done which is described in opening paragraph.

    The Longest Yard Inc. installed my laminate floors. Tom Long, the owner, was on time and is a person of his word. For this job, he had two employees Will and RJ, they were all equally good communicators, good workers and very polite. I am very happy with the work that they did. My condo looks and feels 100% better now it has new floors!

    Tom was amazing, my floors look good and he explained everything he was going to do from start to finish. Tom is really good at what he does and will recommend anyone to him. I'm excited to work with him on my other flooring projects. Thanks Tom.

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
