We did a significant home remodel and our hardwood floor was left with gaps in areas where walls had been removed. We hired Bob to repair the floor, using our original pieces, from areas where we had removed the hardwood. He and his team laced in the wood to complete the repair.
More recently (when our work was all completed) Bob and his team came back to completely refinish the floors (living room, family room and hallway) and they look beautiful. Not only do our 50 year old original hardwood floors look brand new, but you can't even tell the areas where he had to patch initially! Bob brough us sample stains in advance to ensure we'd be happy with the color we chose. It's perfect! I would recommend Bob to anybody."
*Megan | May 2012 | Shoreview, Minnesota "Bob, the floors look incredible. I can't even tell there wasn't hardwood over by my front door / closet originally. I'll refer you to anybody I know who is looking to do work on their floors. Thanks again."

"Robert Johanson - They say "It is hard to find good helper", but I found you are good helper. Your work was beautiful. Fast and left behind clean. I loved every bit of what you did. Thank you very much. Just don't raise price upward so I can't afford range. Looking forward to give next job. Thank you again."

Walt from Plymouth MN filled out a Service Evaluation after finding the Fashion Floors website and asking for Bob's help in choosing/ordering rug pads for his existing wood floors.Thanks for taking the time to give Bob a testimonial, Walt! He says ..."Satisfied with quality? Very; Hire Again? Yes; Expertise? First Rate; Efficiency? A+; Overall? Great; Can we publish your testimonial? Yes!"
*Walt | April 2011 | Plymouth, Minnesota
"I used Bob (for a second time) to repair and refinish the birch hardwood floors in the kitchen of my 100 year old home in St. Paul. Since I've used Bob before, I expected a great job, but Bob again exceeded expectations. The repairs to the various holes and bad boards in the kitchen were laced in and matched with the old flooring perfectly. His finishing is impeccable. He comes in, knows what to do, gets it done, and then moves on to the next job. I cannot recommend Bob enough. This is one craftsman who really knows what to do and at the right price. Thanks again Bob!"

"I called Bob to schedule an estimate appointment and he came that same day. His estimate was less than I thought it would be. We scheduled a long weekend out of town sort of last minute and I called Bob hoping, but not expecting he could work us in, and he was able to work to our schedule. He came when he said he would. There was no dust left over on anything in the house. He did a great job on the floor. He even took off a couple floor level cabinet doors that I forgot about. The floor looks absolutely great. I highly recommend Bob."

"I just want to thank you for the excellent work you did in my home. My hardwood floors are beautifully finished. Your restoration of the worn and stained stair treads is fabulous. The one stair tread that you custom-built to replace the badly stained one is a true testimony of your craftsmanship! I ask the guests in my home if they can pick out the tread that was replaced, and no one has been able to. Your team was extremely personable and enjoyable to have around the house that first day. I value highly that you were on time and completed the job when you said you would. I also appreciate that when I phoned you, the couple of times you weren't able to answer right away, you returned my calls very quickly and took the time to answer my questions. I will recommend you because of your high quality work and work ethics. Working with contractors has rarely been a positive experience, but I have appreciated the opportunity to do business with you."
*Janis Fike | June 2010 | Bloomington, Minnesota
"Excellent job. We expected a full week of work but Bob finished well ahead of schedule. Dust was kept to a minimum. We have another area needing repair and refinishing on the 1st floor and will not hesitate to call him again. He was accommodating and professional and aside from one missed call, he communicated very well during the project. We had maple flooring installed over an entire 2nd floor including 2 bedrooms and a common room, with full sanding and 3 coats of poly laid over the flooring. Overall grade - A."
*Charles Duncan | May 2010 | Minneapolis, Minnesota
"The floors look beautiful and we are very pleased with the results! You did a great job. We appreciate your attention to the details like blocking off the house to minimize the dust. There was barely any dust left after you were done."

"I wanted a large LR area, approx. 900 SF, to be in wood, and the mud room entrance and bedroom in either slate or cork. Bob at Fashion Floors did the wood, and turned me on to another installer (Scott Walsh - Walsh Flooring, Shakopee, MN) for the non-wood areas. Scott was also excellent! Job was done without a problem. Bob returned after I noticed a couple of defects in 3 boards, to replace them. The floor looks great. He even gave me a Bona wood floor mop kit to keep it looking fresh. Could not be happier!"
*Alan Shefland | October 2009 | Deephaven, Minnesota

"We used Fashion Floors to do five different remodel projects which involved either installing new hardwood or refinishing old hardwood floors. In some cases the existing hardwood floors had to be patched and matched. All of this was done very well. Bob was very easy to work with. He provided us with estimates and then was able to quickly schedule the work. I was impressed how hard the crew worked. The finished job looked great."
*Todd Marshall | April 2008 | Minneapolis, Minnesota
"Bob sanded down and refinished the hardwood floors of our 1920s lake home. The floors had at various times had tile glued on, painted dark and uneven colors, gouged, cracked, and were in horrible condition. He painstakingly patched and/or replaced any damaged pieces and trim. He was very neat and careful with his equipment. He wound up completely rebuilding our staircase and did such a fine job with the entire project that it doesn't even look like the same house anymore! He was wonderful about scheduling the job around our schedule and within the time frame he predicted. His estimate was thorough and he tried to make sure what it was we wanted before he began the job. He was timely and the ultimate professional. We will most definitely call Bob again."

"We had existing 650+ s/f of maple hardwood floors in our home that needed to be sanded and refinished as well as the addition/finishing of approximately 350 square feet of new hardwood to match the old. We originally got Bob's name on a referral from a family member that he had done work for. Incidentally, he had been referred to them by another friend so we had great references. Bob did an excellent job! It was a big project with the installation of new flooring and basically the sanding and finishing of nearly our entire main level. We are extremely happy with the quality of Bob's work, his timeliness, his communication with us and the end product. Truly beautiful floors and a great addition to our home. We have happily shared his name with friends and family since he completed the work in our home and will continue to do so! Hiring Fashion Floors is risk-free ... Bob takes his work personally and does a great job!"

"Bob did a wonderful job for me. He installed a wood floor in my living room and refinished the dining room floor to match. I really appreciated Bob working with me to get just the right color stain. Beautiful job. Bob was very organized. He came on time for the bid, and was always on time on the job. He finished promptly and cleaned up after finishing."
*Nan Faust | August 2007 | Edina, Minnesota
"Bob stripped, stained and placed new wood to match the old flooring. He did my bedroom, hallway, living room and dining room and installed quarter round. There was minimal dust (he closed off) and he left nothing for me clean up. You can't tell he added wood to the existing floors the match was so perfect. I'm an in-home daycare provider so my time to have this done was limited and Bob kept his word and was done on time. I got more than my money's worth."

"Bob removed carpet from two rooms and installed hardwood floors. He also refinished the first floor great room and hallways which is Australian Cyprus hardwood. Bob did a fantastic job. He is incredibly picky about his work. The floors (both new and refinished) are beautiful. We have never had a contractor leave our home cleaner than before he started. Bob did our floors while we were on vacation. Our house was actually cleaner when we came home than before we left! We felt his prices were more than reasonable for the work completed. My wife and I would both highly recommend Bob for a great job at a reasonable price. We would normally be uncomfortable recommending someone, but we heartily recommend Bob and have to our friends. Keep up the good work, Bob!"
