Fundamental Floors


Here is a review of Fundamental Floors from one of Matt's customers on Yelp:

Our new house was completely covered in snow white carpet, but lurking underneath was an oak floor crying to be freed from it's low pile infested hell, so we naturally checked Yelp. Fundamental Floors was the only one listed, so we got in touch.

After checking out some of his work, Matt rolled to our house in his tank-like Chevy, with devious apprentice in tow, and proceeded to unleash the dogs of hell on our floors. There were holes, there was moisture damage, and there was a curious patch where an escaped lunatic took a circular saw to the hallway. None of that mattered though as they sanded, buffed, repaired, and filled their way to the finish line. In a week, he yanked the carpet, installed new wood where it was needed, built a kickass border around our fireplace, and even made some custom transition strips for where the floors backed onto tile.

Truth be told, Matt's a little goofy. Hey, I'd be too if I was around those chemicals all day. He kinda puts the mental into Fundamental. But he did a great job, at a really competitive price, and he stands by his work. If you need some work done to your wood, give Matt a call, and avoid seeing your floors until they're done!

UPDATE: 6/11/2008. I just got a call from Matt's wife. Seems he talked about us with his wife a lot, and how much he enjoyed working with my wife and I. Unfortunately, the phone call was bad news. Matt passed away this past Saturday. I thought about deleting this review, but will leave it up in memoriam. Corny, I know - but his work was awesome, and I'd like to think that people should know that. Bye Matt - you did a great job, and you were a great guy.
