Life Events + Hardwood Floors

Big life events are always a lot of work to prepare for, and squeezing all your preparation in a month or two ahead of the event can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. “A lot of people start calling us in the Spring to schedule their flooring projects for grad parties, weddings, or other big events they have coming up in the summer” says owner, Neva Gullickson. It’s always better to get your project scheduled as far in advance as you can to ensure that you can get it done within your timeline and allow you enough time to get all of your other party preparations completed after your floors are done.

At Duane’s Floor Service, we typically schedule out anywhere from two weeks to two months, so even if you don’t need to get your floors installed, refinished, or buffed with a new coat until May, it is always a good idea to just call and get on the schedule. “The last thing we want is for your hardwood project to cause stress around your big events. We always strive to provide the best customer service and highest quality work to eliminate any unnecessary stress for our customers”, explains Neva.

So, what are you waiting for? If you know you will need your floors redone for a big event you have this coming Spring or Summer, give us a call today to get on the schedule and check this big item off your to-do list! Call Neva at 763-428-8601 to get started. We cannot wait to help make your home look perfect for your big party!

The Right Time for Your Hardwood Job

When will it be the perfect time to schedule your hardwood flooring job? The answer varies for every family based on your personal schedules, finances, etc. However, there are opportune times for us as a construction company to get your job done. A few of these opportune times include before the holidays and during Spring Break.

We often get customers calling us in mid-November to schedule a buff & coat or sand & refinish project to get their floors looking good as new before the holidays. The problem with calling so close to the install date is that you may not get your job completed before the date you would like. If you are looking for a holiday face-lift for your hardwood floors, we recommend getting your job on the books now, even if we schedule it out a few months.

Another great time to schedule your hardwood flooring job is when you are gone for the holidays or on Spring Break with your family. Buffing or sanding a floor creates a mess and reapplying finish is a smelly job, so why not have it all done when you aren’t home! We work closely with our customers to make them comfortable with our team being in their home when they are on vacation and always protect your belongings as if they were our own.

So what are you waiting for?! Give us a call today to schedule your late Fall, early Winter flooring project! Or easily submit an estimate request form on our website. We cannot wait to gift you with beautiful floors for the holiday season!

Let’s start with your first touch point - Neva. Neva is one of the company owners and is the magic in the office.

Our wonderful owners, Troy & Neva Gullickson

When you schedule an estimate, we have a rotating team who will come to your home, measure your project, and discuss your options. We encourage all potential customers to ask any question you might have about your hardwood project, our company, and how we will work together to provide you with an experience that you cannot find with any other hardwood flooring company.

Now we get to work. Whether you are getting an entirely new floor installed, refinishing existing floors, or repairing some unsightly damage, we are dedicated to working hard. Staying on schedule and delivering flawless hardwood floors is the mission we set out to accomplish every day.

Sam and Mike hard at work!

Happy customers who are beyond excited to invite their neighbors over to show them their new floors is the greatest gift we receive as a company. Our ultimate goal is a happy customer, and none of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication that our team brings to the jobsite every single day.

So, thank you to our customers and thank you to our team. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Jobsite Plastic Hanging

Any type of home construction is a dirty job, and hardwood floors are no exception. Especially during the sanding and buffing stages of your project, the dust that is created can be overwhelming. It is important to our team to keep your home as clean as possible during our time working there, so we have perfected the art of plastic hanging to make that possible!

Here are some examples of the intricate attention we pay to keeping dust out of your cabinets, off your light fixtures, and as concealed to the construction zone as we can keep it.
