My floorboards were in very rough condition,Glen has brought them back to life. Glen was very professional and affordable. I wouldn't hesitate to use Glen again.Posted on Google Geoff StibbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Glen is an incredible professional. The restoration job he did on some 65 year old floorboards at my mum's house in Miranda was amazing. Not only do the floorboards now look brand new, there was no mess and no damage to skirting boards or doors. Glen is a very personable bloke who obviously takes great pride in his work, and I thought his price was very reasonable. I chose Glen based on the reviews I read here but the finished product was even better than I had hoped for. I can highly recommend Glen to anybody who wants high quality service. Thanks Glen - it was an absolute pleasure to deal with you.Posted on Google GORDON DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the timber floors in our house re-done by Glen. They were originally done about 8 years ago and it was a disappointing and poorly done job. I particularly wanted our floors oiled this time and not lacquered and we found other services did not provide this and tried to talk us out of it. When we met Glen he very quickly won us over with his professionalism, passion and work ethic and he knew exactly what we wanted. We were rewarded with an absolutely first class job that has us wishing we had found him when we first had out floors done. The oil brings out the beautiful red colour of our Jarrad boards and everyone who comes to our house comments on them. He was able to repair the botched sanding from our previous sand. Our floors look new and look stunning. A great guy, great worker and value for money, would highly recommend him to anyone.Posted on Google Mark WilliamsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
