Annandale Floors - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Sep 2023

I honestly can’t recommend Annandale Floors and Vance highly enough. On a scale of 1-10, they are 10,000. They are real flooring experts who are knowledgeable, professional and provide high quality service. You are not dealing with a company that hires mediocre subcontractors. They are the best of the best in Northern Virginia. I found Annandale Floors after I had a horrible experience with another company that had refinished my floors in April 2023. Vance explained to me what my options were and invited me to pick out stain colors I liked. I loved that he is Bona certified and had the expertise to use higher quality Bona products, not the cheaper Minwax brand the other company had used on my floors. He prepared 10 sample boards for me - allowing me to see what different stain colors looked like ahead of the project. The other company had asked me to pick stain colors off the website, put down 5 sample colors on the floor and gave me 24 hours to make a decision. FYI, picking a stain color is the hardest part of this process and Vance’s patience with me was priceless. I texted him constantly with questions and he was very responsive. I used my sample boards to test out different colors in different parts of my home at different times of the day. Once I was ready to proceed, I was comfortable with the 6 sample colors I had already evaluated for over a month. Jose proceeded to tape up all my kitchen cabinets, window blinds and even light fixtures. They were careful to cover up surfaces prior to sanding. I immediately noticed how different it was from my prior experience when the other company had only put up plastic in half of the my kitchen and nothing on the windows and light fixtures. Plus the other company sanded with bedroom doors opened leaving me with weeks of deep cleaning and dusting all surfaces (i.e bedsheets, blankets, dressers, doors, blinds, photo frames, shelves, walls etc.) in the entire house. So frustrating. Not with Annandale Floors. They use a dustless system that leaves a lot less dust after the job. I was also impressed with how well Annandale Floors had sanded my home. The other company had left lots of gaps and red stain that still remained in the lines/grooves. I believe the equipment Vance used was far more superior. I had a dark reddish floor and I had wanted to move away from outdated colors - red, yellow, orange. The first company presented cheap Minwax options which left a deep yellow tint from the oil stain. Vance used the Bona Cocoa stain I chose that not only looked flawless but it was even and professionally applied with a beautiful finish. Plus Bona didn’t leave that nasty smell of chemicals that we had to live with for 30 days. The entire job took 8 days and we moved back in with no issues. We could also move furniture back in within days instead of 6 weeks with the oil based Minwax. Take it from someone who paid twice to refinish 2,000 square feet of floors and stairs - it’s worth every penny to do it right the first time. If you are looking for a top notch flooring company - this is it. Call Vance. He’s the best in the business and Annandale Floors will exceed your expectations. And tell him Addi sent you. You can thank me later.
